Currently, mafia tries to use the gaudy key as soon as it is obtained. This is usually not a problem.
However, with Rain Man, you can fight a gaudy pirate and obtain a gaudy key at any time.
From my recent experience, the gaudy key will only be successfully used (and result in a snakehead charm) IF you have access to Belowdecks. Usually at this point it involves wearing the pirate fledges AND having opened/unlocked Belowdecks.
Mafia will currently try to use all gaudy keys immediately and will assume they are used successfully, even if they are not successful. This messes up the inventory and requires a manual refresh to get them back into the Mafia inventory.
