Dustwitch: A k’ish, from the etymology of Commission, is a formal promise from driver to client to go beyond the road markers to get the passenger, cargo or message to where it goes. To complete a k’ish separates a Driver from a person with a vehicle. Dustwitch has heard that while it is known that Dustwitch is legend amongst drivers, having only failed a k’ish once, Dakota Delaray in all her years is the only driver to never have left a k’ish unfulfilled.
Sundown: He has heard of her racing prowess - that she won the Gran-Gran Crossland - but so long ago, he’d have assumed she was dead.
Tip: Tip has heard that she didn’t used to be called Dakota Delaray. The “Delaray” was the name of her ex-husband - Dex Delaray, fastest gun in the east
Thrice: Thrice has heard that the terrible warlord, Boss Noh, has put a bounty on Dakota’s head, but Noh won’t move their Mask and Murder Crusade westwards until “that bitch is dead”.
