Go and chat up the dude in the pink suit. Subtly try to find out if he's the guy or not. Otherwise look for someone who looks like Steve Buscemi.

You approach the man in pink, doing your best not to nudge the man engrossed in conversation. Your target says nothing, so you continue to listen, both to the music and to the other finely dressed gents.

"Quite the performer, wouldn't you say?"

"I'm envious of his suit, personally."

"Got an air of mystery about him, though."

"This is his first public appearance in years, isn't it?"

They continue to ramble on about the piano player, and you don't pick up much else. Deciding you've been nonchalant for long enough, you strike up conversation.

Spy: "Good evening."

"Evening."

Spy: "Enjoying the music?"

"It is why I came here, I would hope it's worth my time."

Hmm, this might be difficult. If he's giving off any signs, you're not seeing them.

Spy: "So, do you have any business in mind?"

"Not beyond going to the john."

Spy: "I see..."

There's an awkward pause before he continues.

"Look, if you're here to see Mr. Pink, you've got the wrong man. You're the second guy to ask me this afternoon, and it's starting to irritate me. Besides, don't you think a spy would pick a better codename? Now, if you're finished-"

Spy: "Hold on a moment."

Spy: "You said another man asked you before me?"

"Yes. Is there an issue with that?"

Spy: "... No. I apologize, sir. Please enjoy the rest of the show."

"Thank you. Weirdo."

"My word, excitable, isn't he?"

"One could wonder how he ever made it this far in his career."

"I guess the fact that he's here at all shows that he's doing something right."

Those older men are starting to get on your nerves. They haven't stopped talking about the pianist since you got here.

Other than that interesting tidbit of information, that was a failure. Is there anyone else you'd like to speak to, or anything else you would like to do before we move on?

Check smartphone man. The earbuds means he clearly isn't here for the music.
And it looks like you have some competition.

maybe it's the pianist.

>>400469
replace check out man with take man's earbuds.

>>400468
Check out the pianist next. Who knows, he might be the target or something.

there is a shady looking man on the opposite side of the room as you. he is wearing black and leaning up against the railing.

check him out maybe?

"Yeah, she said the same thing half an hour ago. You got any questions, go ask her."

"Stop right there. No one past this point."

Spy: "I just need a moment to speak with him."

"If I believed that, I wouldn't be a very good bodyguard. Enjoy the music from a distance."

Spy: "Nngh."

Well this is all very unfortunate. At least we got the phone... and the earbuds, for whatever reason.

Failures aside, what next? The evening is young, and it's likely that the actual assassination will be much less of a hassle.

Spy: "Next time, we meet the contact beforehand."

Yes, yes.

>>400707
Infiltrate the ladies bathroom to see what the lady the shady dude was talking about is up to. It seems a bit suspicious. Take on some sort of disguise that would make it normal for you to walk in there.

I'm tempted to just murder everyone.

Look through the phone.

Yep, to the bathroom we go.

That's like the most private place in anywhere.

in retrospect, it woulda been smarter to steal whatever the earbuds were attached to so we'd know what he was listening to.

try the lobby.

Guess not. Looks like the rude fellow got dumped after all.

Spy: Oh for the love of...

Spy: "... Evening, gentlemen."

Man in White: "Why hello there!"

Man in Red: "Yes, it's about time you showed up."

Man in White: "Now now, not everyone can take a hint like the ones we give out."

Spy: "Then I take it you two are-"

Man in Red: "Mr. Pink."

Man in White: "The one and only!"

Spy: Goddammit.

Spy: "I was not informed there would be more than one."

Man in White: "That's half the fun! Seeing you so-called professionals wander around, trying to act nonchalant."

Spy: "Yes, I'm sure it was very amusing. Now, who am I here to remove?"

Man in Red: "The pianist."

Spy: "... That's it?"

Man in White: "Indeed it is."

Spy: I hate these senile bastards.

Man in Red: "Once he's dead, we will send the money to the one who contacted us."

Man in White: "Enjoy yourself!"

Spy: "Mmm."

Considering we can't get close enough to him during his performance, what's the plan of action?

>>400849
Drop something heavy on the pianist. Or kill the bodyguard and take his place.

Is there a skylight or a chandelier over him? If so, then the answer is obvious.

wait for an ambush in his room. go to the room suite, I guess.

>>400849
Drop a chandelier on him if you can. If you can't do that then we need to get at him some other way, and then get away, since Ricin is a slow acting poison and we don't got anything else to use to kill him.

Hmmm, we could try to get his autograph after he's done playing, jab him with the pen then. Have to do it discretely though, don't want to arouse any suspicions. Might be good to disguise as a beutiful woman to get his attention so he signs the autograph in the hopes of something more.

Classy as killing a guy via falling chandelier may be in a one-on-one battle, it's a stupid tactic in a room full of witnesses.
Wait until someone goes to the bathroom, quickly disguise yourself as that person, shoot the target, run into the bathroom, change into someone else, and look scared.

the chandelier plan might work, disguise yourself as a maintenance worker get close and cut almost all the way though the cable so it will fall a little bit after you get clear.

Pretend to be a reporter doing a piece on him, with your clipboard for notes. When you get alone for an interview you'll have only the pianist and his bodyguard to deal with. Take the guard silent and fast, and the man will be defenseless.

we have a pen-gun, and this is an entertainer. obvious answer is to ask for their autograph after the performance.

>>400849
Wait, ask them why someone else would be asking about them. Do you have competition in this mission?

Also, I like the pen trick, but if we've got competition we'll need to off the pianist early, which means we might not be able to wait.

Not a bad idea. It was attached to the skylight, so the roof seems the way to go!

Hmm, the elevator doesn't reach the top floor. Compromise is the middle name of any good spy.

No one seems to be on this floor. Perhaps tending to the lower floors.

Spy: "Hello, what's this?"

staff only. need to disguise ourselves as a staff member first.

Well, judging by the screaming and alarms, that went down quite well. However, you're now on the roof of a building full of guards with police on their way. Any clever ideas?

Disguise yourself as a guard? Then when the police come, switch to a police disguise and wander out.

Hide there for the night; a roof should be plenty of room to avoid any searchers for a skilled man like yourself. Leave in the morning when things have cooled down.

What, that fall is only 30, 45 damage tops? Jump for it.

I'm kidding, don't actually do that. They'll be looking for the point of disconnect so you should leave through where you entered and hide in a side room. When they pass by, then slip quietly away and blend with the crowd.

become a blue engineer.

How good are your parkour skills?

>>404758
It's time for a cunning disguise and then exiting the building via one of the back exits. That or find an open window or something that you can sneak into.

Well, that could have gone worse.

Granted that the pianist didn't survive that massive hunk of metal being dropped on him, I'm going to call this a success.

Until I have our payment arranged to fund our next mission, what are your plans? Nothing extravagant, you're still under watch, don't forget.

new toys please.
