Summary
People are curious, they tend to take things at face value and don't bother looking deeper. It's too much energy for them. When they look at Jane they see rumpled curls, a three piece suit, and a smile.
They do not see the the shaking of his hands.
OR
Jane really is psychic.
Massive overhaul and re-edit as of 2/12/24

Summary
The kid in front of Haskell’s desk was hell to look at— a plague orphan, he could tell that much. His face and neck were still marred with the slightly reddish pits that the pox left behind, even months later, and he was gaunt with sickness and malnutrition, bones jutting hard and nasty. They’d have pinned him down as a weakling, before the plague. But that was before. Now, in the miserable, scraping afterwards, not only was he alive, but half the gambling halls and gangs on the Lid were desperate to have him— or so Seeger said, anyway. Haskell didn’t know why this kid wanted to be in the Dregs, when the Razorgulls were practically throwing cash at him, but he wasn’t going to count his chickens. Maybe he preferred crows to gulls.

The Etovost Plague by Spikey44

Summary
Twenty-eight months after Kuwei Yul-Bo was shot dead and the plague sirens sounded throughout Ketterdam a new and terrifying sickness sweeps through the Barrel: a plague with a unique connection to Jurda Parem. But this time it’s not the Grisha who need to fear. It’s everyone else. This becomes that, and like no longer calls to like, forcing old crows to wing back to Ketterdam as chaos unlike anything they have seen before erupts through the Barrel, threatening to destroy all of Ketterdam and plunge the world into war.
But it's a more personal fear that haunts Inej, Nina, Jesper and Wylan when Dirtyhands goes missing at the start of the plague outbreak. Now the Crows must grapple with the sorrow that Kaz may be dead and the even greater terror that the Etovost scourge has turned the Barrel's resident monster into a living nightmare hell-bent on destroying them all.
Post-canon AU where a new Jurda Parem variant transforms normal people into Grisha. Starting with the Barrel Bosses. Uh-oh!

Summary
Kaz was out of town when the Komedie Brute decided to have audacity in spades.
Later, Wylan thought this was probably best. Giving the actors a grace period of about a week without having to worry about the presence of Kaz was probably a good thing.
The real Kaz, that was.

(The Komedie Brute, Ketterdam’s favourite theatrical troupe, opens this year’s season with the addition of a new character to their lineup… starting this Ghezen’s Day, come to the staves to see Ketterdam’s very own urban legend– Dirtyhands, the Bastard of the Barrel!)
