"You mean for a job? Or the thing with the dreams?"
He watches her collect her winnings, bows his head in acknowledgement of her success, and spins the dreidel for himself.
"Job-wise, technically I'm the main bankroller for the JSA, I maintain the assets Wesley left me, and I curate and maintain the JSA museum in the lower levels of the brownstone. I'm also a legally licensed private detective. Most of my real 'work' is in that area."
His eyes stay on the dreidel. It's easier.
"The dreams are given to me by the Lord of the Dreamlands. Wes used to talk about it when I was younger, when he had them. Honestly, I never expected to get them myself. I thought they were just his thing. But I started getting them after he died."
He looks up then.
"When I'm unconscious, my mind connects with all sorts of deviants, psychopaths, sadists. See what they see, feel what they feel, think their thoughts." There's a brittleness to his expression as he talks about it, because it's... it's not pleasant. "When I wake up, I get to try and piece those things together, find out where they are, what they're doing. When I'm lucky, I get to try and prevent terrible things from happening. Stop them. When I'm not, I get justice for the dead."
