Thanks, West!
So then:
1. Our characters, so far, are: Dirt Nap, Jacque, and Mable Wood.
2. Dirt Nap: you are the plot dispenser, you have Jacque and Mable Wood to work with. I hear where you're coming from with it being a Nos Clan issue from Dirt Nap's perspective, but I trust you will find a way.
3. Jacque and Mable Wood: you get some extra volunteer work, assuming you still want in.
