The backyard bout

C-Note and Fredy begin as cooperative amateur wrestlers and then simply start hitting each other. Fredy is furious that he cannot “get any of his shit in”; C-Note keeps beating him; Hector has forgotten the camcorder. That missing camcorder matters: an event structured partly to become footage is reduced to witnesses and memory.

Frasier Fussy and Gio

Frasier Fussy appears later with his boyfriend Gio. Gio’s earlier uncertainty—boy, friend, what, even whether “Gio was Gio”—makes relationship status and personal name part of the same unstable social grammar.

Riordan Ryan / OnanDyne

Riordan Ryan introduces himself as owner of OnanDyne, the sperm-storage facility Frasier and Gio have chosen to secure their genetic legacies. The grotesque corporate specificity is deliberate: futurity is reduced to a service provider, a tablet and a locked room.

The Digital Exquisite

The Digital Exquisite (D.X.) is a South Lost Eros hip-hop legend and Frasier’s partner in KRYONIC KRUNKTA$IA. Their balcony conversation turns cannabis-company exit fantasies into a Lost Eros real-estate map: East Death, the Sunk Coast and Bahía Perdida.

Simon

Frasier’s dissatisfaction with Vernal Heights is tied partly to Simon having split and returned to England. The detail is small but important: the neighborhood’s value is social, not simply architectural or financial.
