just finished Eidolon Diska and it did something to my brain. your themes were lovely and so intentionally constructed and Solo was one of my absolute favorites, both as a character and as a GM (the bit with the random cards in the pile kept getting me over and over). I know you’ve answered something along these lines before, but do you think Solo considers himself to be happy in the epilogue, even if he’s not really in the healthiest situation objectively? Does she keep in contact with Fang or other NPCs at all? Does contemplating what-ifs become kind of futile for a character in a metafiction narrative? Is it still something Solo does? anyways, excited to catch up on the rest of the work you’ve done with Drawn from the Undertow, and thanks again for your great work as a player and composer!!
Thank you so much! I think that, for the most part, Solo would consider herself Content after the events of the series. It's only on late nights and long summer days when thoughts like "maybe I'm wasting my life and I should run away from it all" would creep into the edges of her mind.
I don't think they would keep in touch with Fang, but that's half because they Hate His Vibe (not for any justified reason, mind you) and half because they think he deserves better friends than them anyway. I do think they'd keep in touch with Flannery, though. Probably also the weird castle mansion ghost if she's still around.
Mind you, all of this is entirely hypothetical, because - as a character in a metafictional narrative - Solaris Apogee is functionally dead any time we are not actively thinking about him.
I hope you enjoy Threadspinner. I think we're putting out some really fun stuff right now.
