accomplice

Description

An accomplice is a master at offering silent aid to another’s misdeeds while deftly tossing one’s own punishment onto someone else. They never dirty their own hands and excel at rubbing another’s mud even onto their clothes. In the responsibility-sharing game, they always keep their share minimal and neatly avoid any blame. At the moment of exposure, they are the first to stand before a mirror, relishing their own guilt more deeply than anyone else.

Definitions

• A collaborator in embellishing another’s misdeeds to dilute one’s own stain.
• A logistics provider who slips past the law’s hawk-eye while quietly offloading the burden of responsibility onto someone else.
• A negotiator who pretends to split the weight of guilt but secretly wishes their own share to be zero.
• A hidden character serving as a backer whose existence is barely noticed by the eyes of justice.
• A noble who reduces the evidence of wrongdoing and purchases freedom by entrusting half of it to another.
• Without an accomplice, crime is mere fairy tale; their presence guarantees the legality of evil deeds.
• A self-defense mechanism installed to escape the brunt of blame.
• A spectator who clasps onto another’s sin while deftly evading its pain.
• A pitiable companion imprisoned more by cowardice than by the net of the law.
• A service provider offering a preview of evil schemes while omitting their name from the release notes.

Examples

• Help me destroy the evidence and I’ll invite you to my next party. An invite might be worth the risk.
• Are you in as my accomplice? Your words are binding enough for a contract.
• You stay in the shadows while I take the spotlight. I prefer to remain comfortably unremarkable.
• I’ll cover you if the cops arrive. Who covers you when the bill arrives?
• Trust me we are in this together. Together or just you steering while I drift?
• Without you this plan wouldn’t fly. I don’t even have a pilot’s license.
• Stay silent and you get your share. Silence costs more than my share of the loot.
• Think of us as coauthors of a masterpiece. Crime fiction written in real time?
• You are the wind beneath my wings of mischief. I knew you were poetic and dangerous.
• We make a great team at pinning this on someone else. Aromatic responsibility suits me.
• You hide the weapon and I’ll take the fall. Hold on is this flipping the script?
• I need a partner in crime literally. I thought we had more figurative tasks?
• Somebody has to share the blame. Why not them?
• Claim ignorance and I’ll handle the rest. Ignoring that is half the fun.
• They will never suspect a quiet accomplice. Are you sure they won’t suspect me instead?
• Teamwork makes the dream work even in crime. My dream ends at probation.
• You are my alibi remember? I barely remember breakfast.
• I’ll owe you one for this. My tab of wrongdoing just doubled then.
• Nothing binds us like shared secrets. Or shared subpoenas.
• Better an accomplice than a lone wolf. A lone wolf avoids the kennel too.
