[Dixie is a girl with notable red fox features (ears, tail, tapetum lucidum), who tends towards pretty, casual, feminine outfits. It is not possible to tell a Family affiliation from her wardrobe aesthetic. Her age is eerily indeterminate, though she does vibe as being on the older side.

She can often be found sitting on the edge of the stage smoking her pipe between (or sometimes during?) ongoing performances.

Alternatively, if she’s given you the map to one of her hangout spots, you can easily find her there if you follow it.

Hit her up for whatever!]

Oh you took them already. You already have the depression. I understand now.

That was maybe a mistake?

Why'd you have to put it like that...

And I mean, it's partially the visions, partially the Performances.

It’s what you’re telling me!

[she is maybe listing in her seat a little as she eats All This Poison, but she doesn’t seem in danger of falling out of it and her speech is clear]

Anyway, that’s not new. But all my suggestions for depression that’s already in your head are ‘drugs,’ sooooooo I’m not sure they’re going to be the most helpful to you? I think there’s also ‘counseling,’ but hell if I know who offers that anymore.

What was it that made you get started on all those drugs, anyway?

Oh, I think it was probably going so mad that if I looked at the world through clear eyes a moment longer I was going to chew off all of my own limbs and then see if I really could go off and corrupt a dynasty.

Maybe? It’s very fuzzy at this point.

Wait.

Corrupt who??? And how????

I don’t remember, I took too many drugs.

Damn. That sounds like quite the story.

I know, right?

Anyway, though. I didn’t want to remember clearly, so I made that happen instead of waiting. “It’s okay to use anaesthetics if that’s all that’s reliably available to you.” I still remember telling myself that much.

[Hmmm...]

Do you really think that us learning more about the selves we see in the visions is that important, then? If you prefer to forget all the bad stuff, yourself.

This is going to sound a little like a weasel answer, but I think the choices you make about what to learn and not learn are important.

After all, I had to learn before I could pick what to blur and unlearn, hm? A screen is not the same as an absence.

-Ah, so when you said we'd be thanking you later, it's because we could test the waters for what to expect from our visions without having to actually take them?

[her tail flicks]

I wanted to be a little bit kind.

[Oh... setting down his fork.]

...

...

Well, I guess today's the day I thank you for it, then.

That Performance... it's what made me decide to stop taking them. The visions, I mean.

You’re welcome, but thank yourself also, yes? It is your choice to stop, and give yourself time to heal.

After that Performance? ...It wasn't that hard of a decision anymore.

[...]

Did all the Producers receive visions like that, too? ...Did any of them finish the "story" those visions tell?

“Did they finish the story…”

That’s not for me to tell. And I suspect if you asked us of our own experiences, we’d all have different answers.

Visions won’t be an unknown concept, though.

Then, what about you? Did you finish the story from your visions? Or did you stop?

[the sweet smell of asphodel fills his nose, making him dizzy. his vision doubles. he can see two of her—then four—then eight—]

Sorry, can we talk about something else?

[Ugh, dizzy again... He tries very hard not to sway too much in his seat.]

-If you don't want to talk about something... you just have to say so.

I know how to stop prying.

Oh—hm? Ah, I’m being naughty, aren’t I? Old bad habits, ‘scuse me.

[the smell fades, and his vision restores itself, fairly quickly.]

[SIGHING.]

Give me a little credit, please. I'm curious, but I'm not doing this just so I can pump you for info.

You're probably my favorite Producer. Sure, it'd be nice to learn anything helpful, but I also just want to learn more about you, you know?

Is there a meaningful difference? I am me am Dixie am Producer for the Limelight Stage. My history, visions I might or might not have seen, what I like, what I dislike, the acts I did or did not perform, what I value and disdain…that’s ’me.’ And it’s also ‘information you’re seeking.’

[a soft undrugged breath out, though her tail is flicking a little, agitated]

I’m sorry, I am. It’s just difficult to separate those sepals, little love.

There's different kinds of information though, aren't there? Like things that are easy to share, and things that you have to keep close to the chest.

[Headtilt.]

Is that not how it is for you?
