D6This furtive man wears
1an immaculate and tailored black suit with a black tie.
2an outfit that's sort of like a city worker's, but none of the details add up if you look too closely.
3a raincoat & rain-boots, all garish off-yellow.
4a mis-tied bow-tie, a threadbare suit-jacket with a patch on one elbow and a hole in the other.
5bandages wrapped around his hands, speckled with brown.
6a high-collared coat and a wide-brimmed hat.
D6This furtive man has
1a side-squashed face, halfway to a human halibut.
2blurry flesh, as if filtered through smudged glass, or a shaky camera.
3a mouth that's a little too wide, with teeth that are a little too small, a little too white.
4bloodless gums and eyes and lips.
5an unfashionably-long mustache, and long, limp, receding hair pasted to his scalp and face.
6a long hatchet-head, and long, long limbs.
D6This furtive man walks
1while sucking a long, long cigarette with a curled tail of ash that seems like it should've fallen off under its own weight a while ago.
2with his knees bending backwards sometimes.
3while whistling, an ill-fitting and unforgettable tune.
4while breathing heavily, a heavy steam spilling from his mouth whatever the temperature, falling downwards instead of rising.
5with his eyes whipping side-to-side, or boring into yours.
6with an out-of-time gait that subconsciously throws off everyone else walking nearby.
D6When this furtive man talks, he
1laughs often, nervously and mirthlessly.
2leans up into your personal space and whispers.
3growls his words between clenched teeth.
4dribbles and spits and bubbles out of the corners of his mouth.
5rumbles deep like muted thunder.
6has a high and pleasant voice.
D6This furtive man seems to
1be in two places at once - in your home, while also in front of you.
2carry a sickness with him wherever he goes - weakness, hallucinations, stains on the skin like ink or soot.
3be forgotten immediately by those he only interacts with briefly.
4have an odd cachet in the halls of power, showing up in the crowd at fundraisers and rallies and so on and so forth, muttering suggestions in ears that are always followed.
5have a sixth sense for traps and ambushes, never surprised yet always surprising when he so chooses.
6infect animals with a rabid loyalty by feeding them a drop of his blood.
D6The local street-children say this furtive man
1is the son of the government - the whole government - they all jerked off into a big vat and this thing crawled out of it.
2is the Devil's dream, in flesh as we dream in spirit.
3was an orphan who was adopted by a very strange family, and came back years later as strange as them.
4eats old ladies whole, sucking the wrinkled flesh off their bones, burying the old bones in parks and flower-pots.
5plucks the teeth out of your mouth while you sleep, and listens to them to hear all the secrets you've ever spoken.
6is the shadow of a miserable old geezer who's too old now to go out and inflict misery on others in person - so he sends out his shadow to do it instead.
