When a player talks in character, they produce a bit of fiction. When another player responds in character, they are taking that earlier bit of fiction and building on it.I mean, suppose that someone who didn't know the group was RPGing walked into the room, and heard one person telling another about how they're going to lend them a sword so that the borrower can get revenge on their nemesis. And the walker-inner expresses shock that these people are sitting around casually planning a murder! The players explain, "No, we're just roleplaying, it's pretend. That wasn't us, it was our characters talking."That's fiction, and shared imagination.</blockquote>
