Gothic Pink Ch 4 p17

Poor Callo. His position in the bottom 10% seems permanent but it's balanced by his joie de vivre rating.

Yes, that's Bastion's head on a walking stick. And that's the face he'd have if he knew.

..........vvvVVV RECAP VVVvvv..........
After 500 years, Bastion and company return to take over protecting their home town from demons. They arrive to find the cagey Mayor more concerned about protecting his casino than the city. They soon discover Pilk has quite a demon infestation that's been growing ever since the previous protection company fled when a new master demon appeared. Worse, there are whispers that not everyone is pleased with the work that protectors do.

The major players:

Bastion: Leader of one of the world's renowned protection companies. He and his brother Dante have been keeping demons from entering cities for 500 years. The return home is feeling more and more like a good way to close up this overly long chapter of his life. Or perhaps close up the whole book itself?

Dante: Any job that allows him to bed women for 500 years is okay in Dante's book! Though he suspects Bastion doesn't find that enough and is worried that homecoming means something other than a new beginning for his older brother.

Majeau: Strong, direct but much may be hidden beyond her silent wall. She grew up in Pilk Haven 200 years ago and attended Bastion's Academy (which continued running after Bastion and Dante left.) The academy closed shortly after she left Pilk.

Callo: Young, enthusiastic about life, but why is he with one of the premier protection companies? He seems to need more protecting himself than what he provides. And he seems to have a special attachment to Majeau.

Auric: She has continued protecting the city on her own after the previous protection company fled. Echoing the town's attitude, some in her family support her, some don't.
