Unusual Suspects
Nov. 24th, 2015 09:59 pmThere's benefits to being a professional criminal, if you travel in the right circles: invitations to all the good stuff is close to the top of the list. Dwayne has dined at some of the best tables in the world, cruised million-dollar yachts, gone behind the scenes at priceless exhibits, and he'd be a liar if he said he didn't enjoy it. Sometimes it's nice to just relax and enjoy an evening out, even if it is technically a working vacation.
When Dwayne's on his own for a few days, he's got to keep himself occupied, and while a lot of his work these days is legitimate, it's still nice to get out and make sure his skills stay sharp. If it means going to a party, that's just a bonus. Rich guys throw a lot of great bashes, and free food and music? It's a nice distraction for an evening, even without an ulterior motive.
So Dwayne is drifting through the crowd with his champagne glass in hand, dressed for the night in a good suit fitting his role. His hair's freshly trimmed, his beard clipped, and just for fun, he's even dragged out a clipped upper-New-England accent to add to his respectability. He's an art dealer tonight: it's not a stretch for him to play the part, especially with his background. All it involves is a little chat and a genial manner, and the occasional appreciative noises about the items on display. He won't be sharing all his observations, because he's not here just to look, but social events are a good way to get into a place and have a look around, especially when the owner feels like showing off his goodies. What Dwayne's is looking for isn't currently on display, but it's still nice to get a foot in the door. For now, he's playing social...and picking up the details of what he needs to know for later, after the party's over and it's time to come back for the real fun.
