TheSocialNorm, Connector Dude
aka “Power Plumber”
Knows everybody. Also calls everybody. Repeatedly. Connecting the effluvial overflow of the entertainment industry. Unclogging crime one drain at a time.
PopConkers, Dad Producer

Former Disney guy (escaped, 2017). Organized, Creative, Grumpy. Everyone’s Dad. The only thing functioning worse than his brain is his liver.
AmandaReckonwith, Artsy Fartsy
aka “Madame Tse-Tse Fly”
Sensible. Intelligent. Productive. Over-sharer. Artistically reorganizes everyone else’s fuck-ups. Puts you to sleep with a mix of toxic venom and trauma dumping.
BrambleFaerie, Hitwoman
aka “Jigsaw Girl”
Charged with holding it all together. Behind schedule. Producer, actor, ivory tower recluse. Fact she is missing a few pieces is not a metaphor.
