Canon is Love Comes to the Executioner

Damn man, another one? People're gonna be starting to think you have a problem.

Hey, I don't blame ya. Makes sense some of my groupies'd be guys. But I don't swing that way, and s'long as you don't try anything we won't have a problem. Call it thanks for springing me from jail.

Your mun's one of the ones with a collection, I take it? I know how that goes.

[americanpie]

There's five others that look exactly like me. If that ain't a collection, I don't know what is, skipper.

[aintjustwhistlin]

Oh ouch, luckily I'm the only one with this face around here, but she's got a few with the same face running around, the telepath, the listener, the guy who used to be a box, they've all got the same face, gets confusing.

[americanpie]

The guy who used to be a box?

Fuck, skipper. I know these mundanes were crazy, but a box?

[aintjustwhistlin]

Well, you know, space-and-time-traveling box, not just any old box. Don't completely understand it myself, and I don't try.

He's fun, though, knows some shit that even I don't, and I thought I retained a bunch of useless trivial information.

I'm Dixie, might as well get introduced.

[americanpie]

Dixie, huh?

Name's Chick.

[A pause]

Still sounds fucking weird.

[aintjustwhistlin]

Dixie. Dixie Mason Line. My folks were ... interesting.

And it is, it's seriously fucking weird, but he's friends with the chick who used to be a car, and the other chick who used to be a boat, and the other other chick who used to be a spaceship. Any single one of them could kick my ass, so I'm not going to argue.

[americanpie]

Sounds fucking twisted, skipper.

[And he knows twisted.]

[aintjustwhistlin]

And get this? Dozen freakin' computer programs. Walking around, like they're people.

So, yeah, twisted. The way I figure it, she's right in calling it the madhouse like she does.

[americanpie]

At least this place is semi-normal. Apart from the guys that look like me.

[aintjustwhistlin]

Weird as it is, I don't mind it, they're good people. Don't know how I'd handle somebody else with my face. Not too well, I suspect.

[americanpie]

It's not that bad... Until they start swapping clothes to confuse folk.

[aintjustwhistlin]

See, I'd be the first one to suggest it, if I ran into somebody wearing my face.

[americanpie]

It gets annoying after a while.

[aintjustwhistlin]

I can see how it would, yeah. But I'd still suggest it, if I ever found a face-twin.

[americanpie]

Whatever floats your boat, skipper.
