The jobs were sort of an accident, probably one Hannibal intended all along given it made life on the run all the more difficult. It certainly wasn't Face's first choice of ways to scratch together a little bit of cash.
And it was a little. A very depressing little.
Little enough that a cover ID requiring a decent suit under rack price - far under rack price.
"I can't believe I let you talk me into this," he shakes his head - staring at the thrift store's hand-lettered sign. "Clothes come here to die."

Date: 2013-03-26 06:11 am (UTC)"Like this." It's not so bad, clearing objectives.

Date: 2013-03-26 06:50 am (UTC)His eyes sweep over to the next rack over - jeans and shorts; "You need any gear?"
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:08 am (UTC)"Yeah... probably should."
He hates trying on clothes.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:16 am (UTC)"Come on, we've got a van now... may as well put some of that storage space to use when we're between crash pads."
He braces one hand against the small of Murdock's back for a brief moment, guiding him before slipping back to a more neutral public stance.
"I'm gonna go look at ties."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:26 am (UTC)He idly thumbs through the racks looking for his size, pausing at one particularly rhinestone-encrusted pair.
"Who wears this stuff..."
He may be eccentric, but he's not eccentric enough for back pocket bedazzling.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:36 am (UTC)Face is doing even worse, flipping through multi-colored monstrosities for the one least likely to give people seizures and maybe make him look a little more like the average white collar suit type.
"Navy and orange? Really? Do people actually think that's okay?"
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:46 am (UTC)"Yeah, even I know that's not okay," he calls over.
He picks out a few of the least 80s-throwback-acidwashed pairs. "Gonna go look at t-shirts now."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 07:55 am (UTC)Selecting a basic black tie from the Mormon collection, he heads back toward the fitting rooms to check on Murdock - and maybe get a second shot at a little forbidden touching - when he saw the pink... thing... shoved between a stack of VHS workout tapes and Disco's Greatest Hits on LP.
Now that is a Wiggles if there ever was one.
"Ooooh, Murdock..." he grins, snatching it off the shelf and taking the last few quick steps toward the curtain before popping his head in the one Murdock had disappeared behind. "Nice shorts."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:00 am (UTC)He doesn't exactly sound all that annoyed.
"Whatcha got?"
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:05 am (UTC)"Wiggles just wanted a little peek before the promised main event."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:14 am (UTC)He looks Wiggles in her freakishly large blue plastic eyes before reaching out to pat her plush little head.
"Hello there."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:21 am (UTC)"I was just minding my own business when she poked right out at me and demanded to meet someone very special."
He flashes a warm smile; "And you're about as special as they come, baby."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:28 am (UTC)"You are a terrible influence and I love you for it."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:31 am (UTC)"I'm a Ranger with a pink cuddly... otter thing."
He doesn't mind being a bad influence, someone has to do it.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:35 am (UTC)It appears to be holding a seashell, so some kind of aquatic mammal is probably a safe guess.
"She's cute. Thank you." He leans over to give him a soft peck on the cheek. "Whaddya say we pay for this stuff and go home?"
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:46 am (UTC)"I think that's a great idea." Whatever home is, lately it's been a matter of where they can scam a bed or a decent floor for a few days or a few hours.
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:52 am (UTC)And if it's somewhere they can be alone together... all the better.
"Lead the way, Wiggles."

Date: 2013-03-26 08:55 am (UTC)And an Ottery goddess of pink who's picked Murdock's lap as a place to snuggle down in the passenger seat of the van.
"I'm thinking we could use a detour to relax a bit."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 08:59 am (UTC)"What'd ya have in mind?"
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 09:11 am (UTC)"There's about ten miles of woods between here and the shack - I'm sure we could find a place to roll around in the grass."
no subject
Date: 2013-03-26 09:16 am (UTC)"Never figured you for the outdoorsy type."
They've spent plenty of time in the wilderness on missions, of course, but he'd never expected him to wanna do it by choice.
"Might be fun though."
