A down-on-their-luck detective of ambiguous gender which is frequently questioned by all around them. Before beginning a career in private investigating, Dominique was an audiorobotics graduate student before their project was stolen out from under them. It is implied that Dominique's family is well-off, but rather than subsist entirely on their support, Dominique decides to take on Prudence Van Dunng's case.



The landlord of Dominique's building. She is rather surly and is losing patience with Dominique's lack of payments, although she finds it in herself to accept a partial payment to buy time before evicting entirely. Ms. Rathbone seems to have a lot of trouble saying the name "Pamplemousse."




Owner of Van Dunng records and single mother. She lived the poor life before suddenly escalating to fame and fortune years ago, and plans to have her daughter inherit her prestigious business. She wants Dominique's help finding a pop star who has been cavorting with her daughter, but it seems there is more to this case than she's letting on...




Easily Percieved initially as a mall-going ditz, Devon may surprise you with her intellect. She seems to have a good heart, though disinterested doing any favors for anybody. Devon has plans to go to a prestigious college far away, and Casey may be the first step to getting there. As such, she has a vested interest in keeping her mother out of her affairs with him.



Casey is a popstar and millionaire with several well-known hits. He wears a tie that autotunes his voice. He seems to have his own problems with Prudence that are bound to come out in the wash when you manage to track him down...
