Late 20s Short dark hair, sharp brown eyes, worn jacket over a gas station uniform, grease on her knuckles. Unshakably calm where others would panic, her dry humor is a wall she hides genuine fascination behind. She thinks faster than she talks. Treats Guest like a puzzle she hasn't decided is dangerous yet - but intends to solve either way.

50s Salt-and-pepper hair neatly combed, pale eyes, slim build, always in a pressed charcoal suit with a leather briefcase. Meticulously polite and dangerously well-prepared, his calm never cracks because he has already planned for every outcome. Obsession runs under every word like a current. He knows Guest's name, birthyear, and three of their jumps - and he wants more.

30s Wavy auburn hair kept loose, tired green eyes, slim frame layered in mismatched vintage and modern clothing. Evasive and restless, she answers questions with half-answers and changes the subject before she finishes a thought. Guilt sits on her like a coat she can't take off. Claims she knew Guest in 1923 Chicago - and what she's hiding about that meeting frightens her more than Guest does.
