Bucket Boy

the Crocodilian kid

A grieving young Crocodilian, his whole family dead or missing, who watches Hedy work as Pontiff begs his forgiveness.

Story so far

Bucket Boy, the young Crocodilian who lives among the party's back-line, is hollowed by grief as the tenth floor grinds on. He sits sullenly in the garage watching Hedy make last-minute fixes while the Taurin mercenary Pontiff — now hired as the crew's driver — quietly tries to make amends for once slapping him back at Damascus's club, saying he'd take it all back if he could. The boy answers flatly that he doesn't care anymore: 'Everyone dies in this place.' Pontiff gently confirms that Dong Quixote and Corcunda are dead but that others still live — small comfort to a kid whose whole family, Princess Donut notes, is dead or missing.

When Carl passes he simply promises, 'We'll be back,' and leaves them alone.
