Meet the Characters
We're the characters of the M.C. Detective Agency!
Hi! I’m Poppi! Being more ZEN is #3 on my to-do list. I am considering meditation to become 10% more chill. What are the first and second things on my to do list? Good question. The first is becoming the smartest person in the world…obviously. The second is being able to crochet a blanket for Granny Eve. Oh, I am also Ray’s twin sister.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Ray. Granny Eve says that I am intuitive and experience the world with my gut. She’s definitely not wrong about that. I like to surf and eat, preferably at the same time. I am also Poppi’s twin brother.
Well, hello there. I am Granny Eve, the proud grandma of two spunky twins – Poppi and Ray. I am also BFF to M.C. who chats with me through an old-timey radio. I’ve been known to cook up some chemistry in the laboratory…er, I mean kitchen.
Who am I? Well, I am M.C.! That’s about all you need to know for now. Oh, yes, I also send messages to my BFF, Granny Eve, through this exquisite 1930’s radio. You may detect that I have a very strong French accent…
I’m a time-travelin’ talkin’ taxi who can take you anywhere for $5. Hop in!
Big Ox here and good to meet ya. You wouldn’t happen to have an extra 2 electrons, would you? I am always hungry for 2 electrons. And, well, this is embarrassing, but I can be pretty gassy at times.
Hi, I’m Red and I’m the livelier of the two of us. I have two electrons to give to Big Ox whenever he needs them. I have a healthy bond with Big Ox. He’s my buddy.
Oh, hello there. I am Rusty. I can’t seem to bond with Big Ox like Red does which makes me terribly, terribly sad. I seem to ruin everything.
I’m gNat. The G is not silent, thank you. It’s pronounced Gee-Nat. I may be small, but don’t let this soft buttery body fool you. I can be explosive with just one drop of water…so watch out! I bond with Clive and together we make one salty pair!
I’m Clive: I am #2 in the world for being able to steal precisely 1 electron. I can be salty, acidic, and menacingly gaseous.
You got the blues? Don’t worry man, I always enjoy the blues. Did you know that I have two electrons under my hat ready to give to Big Ox when he needs a snack? When that happens, the duet of Cobalt and Big Ox makes the blues sound magical.
Like Lead-Z, I have a pretty toxic history too. But let’s leave the past behind, right? I can jam with one of those Psychedelic Sulfurs to create a yellow color worthy of the stars.
Some call me trigonal planar. I call that a triangle. Yep – I’m a triangle with two extra electrons giving me a -2 charge when I’m all by myself.
I am a stinky, yellow, puffy powder.
