[Something about the way Marc adjusts his tie tips things over to a new level of surreal. It had been too dark at first to really get the measure of the getup, but the added illumination of the EXIT signs really helps throw it into sharp relief. (It feels, at once, both utterly strange and uncomfortably familiar. Impossibly incongruous. A photo negative. Like catching Brucie Wayne busting skulls after a charity ball, all in white instead of black.)
His brows hike up when Marc chooses the continue the bit. His expression goes a little sardonic, and he shrugs. Sticks, stones.
Yeah, well. Way I know it, housekeeping tends to make a lot less mess.
[Not that he's criticizing your methods, bud. But he does make a point of eyeing the spatter of blood. Stark red-on-white, only made moreso by the moodlighting of the emergency lights. If nothing else, it does make a statement.
He'd pocketed the pistol that mook numero uno had pointed his way, and he takes this opportunity to pull it back out to give it a once-over. (Nearly empty. Seems like these guys hadn't exactly been packing heavy. Bullets, it turns out, are expensive.) Unlike Marc, he's not opposed to guns at all. In fact, he's recently put a lot of work into becoming a real good shot. So don't mind if he does.]
Guess the both of us are in the wrong line of work.
