Cast
Murray Sepulveda (left). He used to work as the manager of the Belladonna Theatre in Haquel, a small second-run cinema. Among his employees was Bloom. While working there, he also met Bloom’s friends, Toast and Wayne. Then one day he suddenly left Haquel without a trace…
Wayne Molly (right). Raised in the city of Haquel. He used to pay his bills by working on the late shift at a liquor store, and occasionally playing jazz drums on the side. Then one night he had a vision, inspired by the mysterious melodies played by a transient trombonist named Myra Fine. The vision inspired him to say farewell to his friends Toast and Bloom, and go searching for information on the disappearance of his childhood musical mentor, “Thirsty Coin” Grady. Over the course of the following year, he apprenticed at a henchberry orchard in the Northern lands near Ikuma. Thusfar unable to get much information about Thirsty Coin, and not yet ready to return to Haquel, he wanders on…
Bloom Banks (left). She’s a graffiti artist who pays the bills by working at the Belladonna Theatre on the south side of Haquel.

She’s a pretty pragmatic person, but she’s also known for skipping town at a moment’s notice to go check out the graffiti in other cities and to write her own. Now she’s on the road again, this time accompanying her boyfriend Toast as they try to catch the giraffe robot Inaara…
Toast Duerr (right). Employed as a dishwasher and line cook on the graveyard shift at a 24-hour restaurant. About a year ago, a series of escalating conflicts with a loud group of howler monkeys in the apartment upstairs reached the boiling point when one of the monkeys threw a potted daisy down onto Toast’s head. Since then, with no health insurance, Toast has had to live with it being permanently affixed there. Soon after the incident, Toast took up the hobby of building robots. Recently, he completed his most ambitious one, the giraffe-robot Inaara (a cheeky acronym standing for ‘It’s Not Actually A Real Acronym). However, just as he powered her up, she bolted out of his workshop for no apparent reason. Now he and his girlfriend Bloom are trying to catch up with her and find out why…
