Pip was trained as a medic in the Navy, but he was billeted as a quartermaster and a cook. He never saw combat, but he was responsible for supplying those that did. It's not glamourous knowing what's what, what's where, how much you have, how much you need, and how much it will cost, but it's steady work.

:'''Family:''' Mama's husband and three daughters catch fish and sell them in the market with her.
:'''Constable Delacroix:''' The constable looks out for Mama's family and buys fish from them every Friday, stopping for an hour or more after his shift to speak to them in their shared tongue (French).
:'''Old Charlie:''' Charlie is a lamp lighter in the evenings and an occasional courier of packages and messages during the day. Mama's husband is a great friend of the older Englishman and Mama regularly sends the old widower home with fresh food.
:'''Katie Moppet:''' Katie is a little girl that Mama suspects was touched by the energies of the Neverwhen at a very young age. The preteen is subject to turn up anywhere in the city and up to any manner of shenanigans. She calls herself the King of the Rattown Sewers along the Thames and is dismissed by most as quite mad, but mostly harmless.
:'''Puck:''' Though he looks like a dirty little boy who likes to hang around the muddy banks of the river, Mama thinks he is something else altogether. She has no proof, but her suspicions weigh heavy.


==Background==
I remember. The world does not.
Mama Nguyen was born among French Colonials in her native country of Vietnam and raised there through her childhood, her wedding to a fishmonger's son, and the birth of their three daughters. And though Nguyen always worked hard and saw to her responsibilities, there was a wildness and wanderlust about her, and she spent all her spare moments hunting the creatures of the Neverwhen and tracking the leak of their powers from beyond the veil.


She still believes she once met one of the Twisted Ones who lived with one foot in the Mortal Realm and one foot in the Neverwhen. It had touched her brow and made her sleep. It had left her something terrible.
'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' My brother, Brian, died 137 times. I keep changing time to stop it from happening, but he just dies a different way. It's exhausting.


Still the incident had not dissuaded her hunts. It only made her more sure there was something to hunt. But her husband had had an opportunity for work, first in Paris and then in London, and she and her daughters had dutifully followed.
'''WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE?''' Culinary Fusion Chef specializing in Indonesian-Scottish cuisine.


It was not long before she discovered the Neverwhen leaked through in this new land as well. She had even met a thing that had giggled and told her what the Twisted One had cursed or gifted her with.
