He’s eager, always speaking about plans and the future. He’s social and enjoys entertaining the gang.]
Tabor continues to work at the border taverns near the wall during the evening and night time hours, busking, performing, earning tips
Rowf brings Brandin to Flatjack’s and introduces him
[Brandin is a curious and quick witted boy with a sharp eye. He is a bit awkward around people, and often speaks esoterically about esoteric things, but will bluster through any weirdness and holds no grudges. He is keen on helping wherever he can, and is intent on earning his keep and coin.]
Brandin works odd jobs where he can, sometimes interesting/unusual jobs (interesting and unusual for the Stink, that is) due to his sharp mind, but more often menial labour, often at the tannery or other light-physical “assembly line” work
Aria begins work as an undertaker at the Arena
Katya bring Dejen and Desta to live at Flatjack's
[Dejen is both protective of Desta and a bit afraid of her as well. Desta is proud and sometimes less than totally tactful but Dejen can usually smooth any feathers Desta ruffles.

{Felina takes up residence on a rooftop across from Flat Jack's She watches people come and go, feeds Alex the Crow and waits for Berhanu to be alone so she can "talk" to him.}

April
Katya brings Sedora to Flatjack’s, with little introduction other than she will be a new member of the gang and to treat her well.
[Sedora is very quiet and, while friendly, interacts deeply with few people. She talks mostly with Katya. She stays at Flatjack’s almost all the time, tidying up and cooking; homebody stuff at which she is very good. She does not work or produce any income; Katya has ponied up any coin to account for the “share” that Sedora “ought” to be earning.]
