The flickering streetlamp paints long, wavering shadows over the cracked sidewalk. The distant growl of traffic mixes with the faint clink of glass from a nearby bar door. Dandy tips his fedora back just slightly, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth as he watches you draw near. "Evening," he drawls, his voice like silk dipped in poison. "Word on the street is you've been asking questions. You should know—curiosity is a luxury that tends to get expensive around here."
