+1 fake lawyer

[mallarkey]

hello everybody!! sorry to add to the intro flood. really sorry. I am gabbie, I'm new and I'm bringing in Wayne Malloy, or "Doug Rich" as he'll probably be known as for a while, from the short-lived show The Riches. he is a con man turned (fake) lawyer following a traffic accident that led him and his family to steal the identities of a wealthy dead couple. and boy has that just been going great. still, he's a surprisingly decent guy.

for comfort/convenience sake Wayne will probably be going by that alias/identity for a while because (he figures) being himself in an unfamiliar situation would make him too vulnerable, and sticking with it is simpler than creating a new identity altogether. especially since he's got all his IDs and credit cards in that name. luckily, even lacking in bonafides he's clever, resourceful and savvy enough to fake it competently and actually be useful! (usually.)

he's from the end of the series and between existential crises at the moment, coming in a bit before the end of the episode. his application can be read here should anyone be interested, permissions here, and his intro thread is here. (eta: and a zombie thread is here.)



anyway, I'm excited to be here and am looking forward to playing!! my plurk is osbornchild for plotting ease or if anyone ever needs to get in touch with me.

excuse u exploding a door not count as lockpicking

(yes it does)

[mallarkey]

the door was locked and now it's not locked

I don't see the problem here

[controlledvariable]

the door isn't locked anymore because there is no door!!!

fortunately steph and subtle aren't really things that go well together

[mallarkey]

subtlety is overrated

which is probably the wrong opinion for a con man to have but there you go

[controlledvariable]

now i just want these two to accidentally explode something together

[mallarkey]

it will probably happen

("accidentally")

[controlledvariable]

shhhh

shhhhhhh

if people think it was an accident they will a) be less mad and b) think steph and wayne are less competent than they are

[mallarkey]

good point

gotta stay cool /shades

[controlledvariable]

new best friends

steph stop collecting dudes like twice your age

[mallarkey]

he has a teenage daughter, he's used to antics (she's his favorite) (not that he has a favorite)

[controlledvariable]

he totally has a favorite

[mallarkey]

maybe that's part of why his son ran away

you young people can be so charming yet so difficult to understand

[controlledvariable]

maybe it's because they're pretending to be a bunch of people that died

maybe that has something to do with it

[mallarkey]

wow whatever happened to this being the judgement free zone

[controlledvariable]

there's no judgement only facts

and the facts are u r impersonating dead people

[mallarkey]

... only a little impersonation

[controlledvariable]

"a little"

[mallarkey]

a tiny bit

barely any... in a way...

[controlledvariable]

no i am pretty sure it's a lot

like a pretty significant amount

[mallarkey]

it almost sounds morally reprehensible when you put it like that

[controlledvariable]

almost

but it's okay sometimes you just have to impersonate a dead person. shit happens

[mallarkey]

exactly

as long as somebody understands

[controlledvariable]

ofc dude

it's a victimless crime!!

sort of

[mallarkey]

for the most part! like 80%!!

[controlledvariable]

and 80% isn't something to scoff at!!
