character

Chaco

A performer in his last season, whose replacement is the one halfway decent exit deal offered to Carl and Donut.

Story so far

Chaco's role is winding down. In the exit negotiation after Faction Wars, Quasar tells Carl that this is Chaco's last season and they need a replacement, and the offer is being made jointly to Carl and Princess Donut - each would take it separately, but the system indicates the deal will still exist at the end of the tenth floor.

Quasar rates it the only offer in the folder that is not outright garbage, and says they could still do better. Carl declines it anyway, along with everything else, and Donut declines hers in her own meeting with Princess Chandra.

Role

The departing figure whose vacant position is the best exit Carl is offered.

Relationships

Carl — Offered his position as an exit deal, and refuses it
Princess Donut — Offered the same replacement deal separately
Quasar — Calls the Chaco replacement the least bad option on the table
