Periwinkle

That wasn't exactly what he had intended.... Oh well. Plans change. Rolling with the changes is crucial to staying alive in any situation, of course. But how to handle this one? More money won't work. Killing the guard would be the most straightforward solution. But that would likely make things more messy down the road. Which leaves subterfuge and escape.

First a clever diversion is in order. Periwinkle throws his hands up in shock and surprise and points behind the guard in a dramatic fashion. Whether or not the guard actually turns around, he throws another pellet at the ground and vanishes in a cloud of smoke. While invisible, he ducks around the corner into the alleyway and finds a good spot to hide.
