[ Aalto is a humble information broker, one who expects payment for all of his bits of knowledge that he can share. Those pieces are often times extremely valuable, though he also accepts payment for doing detective work for more mundane affairs – Please help me find my lost pet. Please help me discover my mother's whereabouts. Please help my son find his ball. In that life, he works for the Black Shores, an elusive organization with the ultimate goal of providing world salvation. In this one, Aalto works for a group that partners with the Enclave, and provides information on deceased ones' whereabouts, particularly those of people who cannot move on and are causing issues to high profile individuals. Entertainers, creators, politicians, royalty...those among the rich are easy targets for lingering grudges from those they have wronged.
That's where Aalto comes in. He serves as a "bridge" between those who are looking for this type of work, and those who are in need of their services. With these clients, however, he's able to demand a lofty price from them due to their circumstances. It's funny, isn't it, how easily the powerful bend whenever it suits them – or so he thinks, at least. It makes it all the easier for him to get what he wants, especially when they're desperate.
Often times, however, the job requires him sneaking his way into private access places or events to gather intel on the situation. This job has made him realize that he needs to enter a lounge – an extremely private one, at that, only for esteemed guests – because it's a night in which many VIPs are gathering for a mixer. There are bound to be at least a few people he can assess for potential jobs. He's posing as a stylist this time around, one looking for clients, but he needs a guest to accompany him since the lounge comes with private rooms for a little bit of fun. He needs access to one to keep in touch with his superior. It's just how it goes.
That's why he shows up at the Enclave and knows exactly who to ask: A familiar face he's worked with a handful of times, one who doesn't seem particularly fond of him, but in a way he finds incredibly amusing. He requests for her presence, and when he can get a moment, he greets her with his usual cheeky smile and a wave. ]
Angelika! Long time no see, eh? [ Said with a bit of flair that's a little too friendly... ] Sorry to bother you, but this honest info broker's gonna need your help with something.
