My Interview with Xavier

Buddy Tippet: You may or may not have heard of this guy. His name is Xavier, and he is in charge of much of the land development happening all around Scritch City. He was also the sole designer of the Pavilion. So there are a lot of credits under his belt as far, as this city is concerned. Welcome to my little room in the Railroad Club, Mister Xavier.

Xavier: Pleased to be here, Mr. Tippet. Consider me a fan of the blog. Glad to see you are back at the keyboard.

BT: Thank you. Now, I need to explain to everyone that Xavier is a dragon, but he is not a part of the group of dragons that hail from the Predatory Union. He is a longtime resident of Scritch City, in fact.

Xavier: Yes, Scritch City is my home. I do make frequent contact with the PU. I have family there.

BT: You are but one of a number of dragons who have taken residence here.

Xavier: One of many.

BT: But I would say that few have contributed as much to this city as you. Even the Railroad Club is credited to you.

Xavier: And I love this building very much. I have always favored the atmosphere of a smooth jazz club. Also I love your new trumpet player. Same name as you, right?

BT: Yes, somehow we share the same name. A lot of people get us confused. He told me in private that people often walk up to him at the bar and ask him about my blogs. Apparently the guy doesn't even own a computer.

Xavier: Maybe that's smart.

BT: [I chuckle.] So please... tell me something about yourself so that people can learn about you.

Xavier: I was born in Scritch City but received my education within the US. I was always dedicated to the city state however. Everything I learned about business and real estate was intended to improve my home. It is my goal to turn this city into a technological utopia. I think the Pavilion was a great step in that direction. It's all about open format thinking. Allowing new and often rejected ideas a chance to see sunlight... and perhaps see implementation.

BT: I suppose the hedonist style of government here helps with that.

Xavier: Oh, yes. It pulls back on regulations and allows for a more streamline way of thinking. Places like The Amorous Cafe where you can sucked off by your waitress is a good example of that. There's also The Fidgety Ferret of course. The Hurt Box and Hidden Treasures are also good examples of hedonistic freedom of thought and practice.

BT: And the old Starry Wisdom church at the center.

Xavier: I'd hate to call it old. It's still in service, but a lot less have been showing up since all that unfortunate stuff has been going on.

BT: So you dislike regulations? Safety or otherwise?

Xavier: Oh, there's still a bit of safety. I keep my buildings up to a very strict code, but I say let the citizens of SC be in charge of their own bodies. If they want to do horrible things or put their own lives in jeopardy, who am I to contest their will?

BT: You also are a very close friend of Miss Silky too, yes?

Xavier: I think "friend" is a very polite way of putting it. We get along fine. Much of what we talk about is business. I am also obligated to visit the Railroad Club on a regular basis anyways, so we pretty much have to run into each other as a regularity.

BT: You're obligated to visit the club?

Xavier: Maybe that isn't the way to put it. I think I meant that I enjoy coming here often for the good food and music.

BT: That makes sense. Are there any new developments you want to inform the public about?

Xavier: Nothing specific. I do have a very interesting interview coming up soon. I can't tell you who it is... yet, but I suspect it shall lead to some new projects. I'm pretty excited about it.

BT: No hints on who it is with?

Xavier: No hints. You're pretty good at weeding out the truth. I want to keep this secret until anything official comes of it.

BT: Such a tease. All right. Well, thank you for giving me some of your time. I barely caught you before you left. Seems like you are always busy.

Xavier: Always on the run, I'm afraid. But thank you. Stay in touch. I wouldn't mind another interview in the future.

BT: Same here. And once again, thank you.
