Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking a lot about the Lowlifes, and I think we’re due for an important reminder: these are not good people. Let’s hang out with Rukes!

Rukes wondered, as they pulled a sheet so tightly around a mattress that you could bounce a silver coin off of it, when they’d started taking jobs like this. Long cons. There was something they liked about a long con, it was true. Maybe the normalcy of it. Don’t mind little Idzy, meandering along, changing sheets. They’re just the new chambermaid.
It was pretending, was what it was. Putting off the job. Work your way into someplace normal, forget that you were studying the Baron’s schedule like it was Sune’s Four Principles of Love, have people treat you like you were a somewhat rude but not unpleasant coworker. Maybe it counted as a vacation.
