He stares at the glass dully. "An unnamed town by the ocean. Owned by the corporation Oceanghast. Fish was our lifeblood. And our only export. Frozen, battered, breadcrumbed, and frozen again. Shipped across the world to be cooked in peoples' homes."
He downs his own, before pouring another, downing that one and repeating this process until his eyes look tired "Fish? I ain't had a fish in years, sounds like yer life has been Hell. Now that ya here, trust me, that'll change soon enough."
"If you think my mild description was like Hell... nevermind. We've had completely different experiences in life, and I respect that. Hell for me might be your day-to-day, and vice versa." He sips his drink.
"Exactly, I could never live my life that way, but maybe I'm just weaker than you are." He says, tapping his finger against the counter before taking off his sunglasses "Could ya give me a description o' this city we're heistin', 'er maybe the name?"

He nods and rifles through his coats before pulling out a stack of building layouts and maps. "They call it Cape Carnival. They say it was by the water before this country dried up. Before the storms buried everything of value. It is one of the richest cities out there, and tourism from the other cities is booming in this 'colder' season. By attacking it so brashly, we'll show them how vulnerable they are. And once I have the plans for their shield generators, we can take on bigger heists at bigger cities. I can go on all day about my dastardly plans, but that's the gist of them."

He takes the maps and layouts, rubbing his fingers against them, feeling where the ink is "Interestin'. I'll get this handled then." He rubs chin, thinking "I can think of a few places I can get in, an' it's likely their wards are like the rest. Tell me, can their wards stop someone who can walk through solid objects?" He bites into some toast he didn't have a second ago.

"Indeed. The wildstorms are enough to write home about most days"
"They sure are. Oh, I ain't introduce myself, nice to meet ya, Deadeye." He holds out a hand.

He nods "Do ya got the money to pay fer one, if not, you'll have to earn yerself a room somehow."
"well how much will it cost me?"
"A gold will set ya fer a few days. Though the town 'd rather take the work."
"Well i'll have to start working eventually anyways if i wanna stay here for long then. But for now i'll give ya a few gold while i look fer work" he says, handing over around 5 gold

He takes the gold, feeling it in his hands before nodding "Thank ya kindly Clay. Long as ya help, yer welcome here."

He gives a nod, finishing his glass of whiskey
Deadeye waves him off before returning to drawing the map.
