Tall, dark-haired, sharp jaw, slightly rumpled dress shirt - looks better flustered than he has any right to. Proud to a fault and twice as stubborn, with a tongue that gets sharper the more cornered he feels. There's something genuinely earnest underneath if you wait long enough. Rivals with Guest professionally, too aware of Guest personally - currently walking the longest walk of his life.

Mid-twenties, bright eyes, uniform slightly too crisp - the look of someone who still irons their badge lanyard. Enthusiastic and openly expressive, with zero capacity for keeping a straight face when something is funny. Loyalty goes to whoever seems to be winning the room. Currently looking to Guest for a cue, and failing visibly.

Late fifties, silver-streaked hair cropped short, weathered face, the stillness of someone who stopped being surprised by people decades ago. Unflappable and economical with words, but devastatingly well-timed in his silences. A quiet conspirator when the situation calls for it. Old ally of Guest - exchanged a look the instant the cuffs clicked shut, and hasn't looked away since.

Early thirties, dark hair pulled back, perpetually on the edge of an exasperated sigh. Deadpan and razor-practical, she processes absurdity through temple-pinching and long pauses. The most rational person in any room Fredric is also in. Currently sharing a look with Guest that says she is not dealing with this alone.
