Erynn Dinasque-Rallo IV Burglary 1

[19:22 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Yo.
[19:23 PM] Rallo IV: Hey hey.
[19:23 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Hope I didn't keep you waiting, I had to run a quick errand.
[19:24 PM] Rallo IV: So did I. No problem.
[19:24 PM] Erynn Dinasque: So, let's talk scenes.
[19:26 PM] Rallo IV: Scenes.
[19:27 PM] Rallo IV: You're an adventure elf. A sneaky adventure elf, at that.
[19:27 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Go on.
[19:28 PM] Rallo IV: Maybe you're... swindling me? Robbing, even? Being a rich kid, Rallo's probably toting a miiiighty fine weapon you have your eye on that he's less than open to selling.
[19:28 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Ooh, one sec.
[19:28 PM] Erynn Dinasque: False alarm.
[19:28 PM] Rallo IV: Hm?
[19:29 PM] Rallo IV: Oh. You mean that you DON'T need to go.
[19:29 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Thought I heard someone knocking. I did not.
[19:29 PM] Erynn Dinasque: So, Rallo probably doesn't like this.
[19:30 PM] Rallo IV: I'm not a rape guy.
[19:30 PM] System: Sam Worthy is offline.
[19:30 PM] Rallo IV: But... it would certainly be an interesting introduction.
[19:31 PM] Erynn Dinasque: It doesn't have to be rape.
[19:31 PM] Erynn Dinasque: But I do like being put in my place by strong men.
[19:31 PM] Rallo IV: Oh, wait, you're one of the few people in the world that doesn't like non-con besides me.
[19:31 PM] Rallo IV: ... I was mistaken.
[19:31 PM] Erynn Dinasque: No, I like non-con. I don't exclusively like non-con, though.
[19:31 PM] Rallo IV: Sounds... intriguing.
[19:32 PM] Rallo IV: Mm. Interested in Erynn cross-dressing, huh?
[19:32 PM] Rallo IV: I'm totally not the guy with a raging tomboy fetish, so maybe we can incorporate that in some way.
[19:33 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Sure. I've been curious about that for a while.
[19:34 PM] System: Etaya is offline.
[19:34 PM] Rallo IV: Any ideas?
[19:34 PM] Erynn Dinasque: I'm looking over your kinks.
[19:36 PM] Erynn Dinasque: As I mentioned, I like men who take control. So perhaps we start out with the scam, but Rallo's not quite the fool Erynn made him out to be. What'd he do next?
[19:37 PM] Rallo IV: I'm not sure. I figured once the setup was planned, we'd see where it goes from there.
[19:37 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Yeah, all right.
[19:37 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Would you like to start, or would you prefer me to?
[19:38 PM] Rallo IV: Oh, one other thing.
[19:38 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Yes?
[19:38 PM] Rallo IV: Assuming we're in Delta City, where?
[19:38 PM] Rallo IV: Market? Shop? Something something?
[19:39 PM] Erynn Dinasque: It doesn't have to be Delta City if you don't want it to be. But, I don't know, high-end marketplace, maybe?
[19:40 PM] Rallo IV: Sounds good enough for me. I'll kick it off.
[19:42 PM] System: Wizard is online.
[19:43 PM] System: Wizard is offline.
[19:46 PM] System: Alex Marcellus changed status to Online
[19:49 PM] Rallo IV wanders aimlessly throughout the unfamiliar marketplace, making sure to tuck his coinpurse somewhere greedy fingers can't nab it. He has more trouble, however, not advertising the far more appealing longsword. A fine, expensive thing, about forty inches tall, built out of steel and decorated with excessive spirals along the the fuller and engravings on the heavy round pommel. Rallo hefts the heavy thing in a more unassuming, unattractive scabbard behind him the whole time as insurance (he didn't trust that shifty-eyed halfling at the bar). He himself is in a suit of red and blue, embroidered with delicate golden borders and tiny ruffles at the sleeves and collar, far flashier than HE would have preferred. Right now, he's perusing a weaponsmith's impressive collection of blades.
[19:53 PM] Erynn Dinasque: A less experienced thief would have been fooled, but Erynn was a professional, not some young upstart. No one in this part of town would actually carry a shabby broadsword if they were carrying a sword at all, so the fact that this boy'd put it in such an ugly scabbard meant it must be especially valuable.
[19:53 PM] Erynn Dinasque: (Meant to hit shift+Enter, not done yet.)
[20:01 PM] Erynn Dinasque: If she could just identify him it'd make this a lot easier. As is, it looked like she had to pull out one of her more general-purpose scams. She'd followed him about four blocks by this point; it was time to make a move. She pressed a loose cap on her head, wrapped herself in a thickish jacket, and patted her legs to check if she'd brought--yes! She inconspicuously grabbed the stashed knife and entered the weaponsmith's shop to enact the single most general-purpose scam at her disposal: improvise.
 "Afternoon," she said nonchalantly as she entered.
[20:13 PM] Rallo IV: He glances her way, throwing a brief wave in response. "Afternoon." he echoes, idly running his fingers on the glass of one of the display cases. He keeps a watchful eye on the pouch hidden on his figure, and a wary hand resting on the hilt of his sword. Although hardly the most street-smart, the fairly sheltered young man's been appropriately coached on not-being-robbed, and feels confident enough that he won't wake up the next morning under a bridge without clothes. He stays alert, though his attention wavers while ogling the merchandise.
[20:15 PM] Erynn Dinasque: Tense. Perfect. she thinks.
 "You okay, kid? You seem nervous," she says.
[20:17 PM] Rallo IV: "Kid?" he wonders, rearing his head to the stranger. "Nervous? No. Careful? Yes." Yes, Rallo, you are nervous.
[20:18 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Look, I know you hear stories, but this is really a nice town. You don't have to be so shifty."
[20:22 PM] Rallo IV: "I'm shifty? I'm not trying to convince an out-of-towner to let their guard guard down." he replies, cocking an eyebrow.
[20:23 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "I hope you're not accusing me of something?" she feigns offense.
[20:24 PM] Rallo IV: He promptly switches to apologetic, and (hopefully) rightly so. "No, not at all, I just know that the man in the fancy clothes is likely the biggest target."
[20:25 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Yeah, but no thief's gonna take your clothes. I mean, what've you got that's worth stealing?" Commencing phase two.
[20:27 PM] Rallo IV: "Whatever they feel is worth stealing."
[20:29 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Not much of one for conversation, are you?"
[20:32 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo, finally overwhelmed by the doubt gnawing inside, caves. He loses faux-military posture. "I'm sorry. I just need to play it safe. Stranger in a strange land, you know? I'm going overboard, anyways. Understand, it's nothing against you."
[20:34 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Oh, no problem at all." She produces the knife. "I'm just looking to maybe pawn this for some spending money. You?"
[20:35 PM] System: Madame Crinkle is online.
[20:38 PM] Rallo IV: "I'm looking for something reasonable as a sidearm."
[20:39 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Huh. So you're really a knight, through and through?"
[20:40 PM] Rallo IV: "... Sure." he says, throwing his hands up in defeat. "As far as you know, sure."
[20:44 PM] Erynn Dinasque: With the con going south, Erynn tries something bolder. "Maybe something on the wall?" She points to the rack behind him.
[20:51 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo glances at the wall rack, though he isn't focusing on buying at the moment. "Yes. I am a knight. I don't want to be, but I am."
[20:53 PM] Erynn Dinasque: And as soon as he does, Erynn grabs the sword and cuts it from Rallo's waist with a swipe of her knife. "I feel safer knowing you're protecting us," she says as she casually makes her way to the exit.
[21:03 PM] Rallo IV: He jumps, at first away from the knife being brandished-- but once the scabbard's cut from his belt, he watches in what seems like abject horror and disbelief as she nonchalantly robs him and waltzes out to the street. He is not a stand-up guy, but one scrawny boy with a knife steal from him in broad daylight. The nerve of some people. After a second of letting it all digest, however, he lurches after Erynn and attempts to snatch her by the collar.
[21:05 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Shopkeep, help! This man is assaulting me!" she shouts. "What are you doing!?"
[21:08 PM] Rallo IV: "Hey-- I-- No, he's robbing me." Rallo protests, the grip on her collar loosening.
[21:09 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "What are you trying to pull?" She grabs his wrists and tries to wrench away.
[21:13 PM] Rallo IV: "You saw me walk in with this sword, did you not?" he hollers to the shopkeep, frantically gesturing to the sword with his free hand.
[21:13 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Look out, he's got a sword!"
[21:14 PM] Erynn Dinasque tries to take the sword back, as though she were heroically prying it from her attacker.
[21:16 PM] Rallo IV: "Are you a clown? What are you-- gods!" he cries, grabbing her sword-arm by the wrist and pushing her out from the store. "Come on, let go!"
[21:18 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Ah! Monster! How dare you!" she says, though she doesn't actually fight back all that much.
[21:19 PM] System: Monk Kenander is offline.
[21:20 PM] Rallo IV: In an attempt to end the struggle, and keep from being arrested, Rallo decides to keep marching her away from the slack-jawed crowd into a considerably less populated alley. "Shut up, shut up!"
[21:21 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Okay, fine! You win," she says, letting go of the sword and backing away.
[21:24 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo, now far beyond irritated, drops the sword on the ground beside him. "You think you could just pull that in public?" he snaps.
[21:26 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "I thought it'd distract you long enough for me to get your coinpurse," she says with a grin.
[21:29 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo scowls. "Cocky little..." he grumbles, reaching over to yank the hat from her head. "Show me your face I'm submitting you to the guard!"
[21:29 PM] Rallo IV: face,*
[21:30 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "What? No, this is the part where you're supposed to give up!" She backs away, unsuccessfully trying to preserve her cover.
[21:34 PM] Rallo IV: "Give up? I have you cornered in an alley, trying to walk off with stolen property in front of witnesses! And I thought I was a coward, of all people, but I'm more of a man..." Rallo clenches the hat in his hand, the fury finally subsiding when he gets a good look at her face. "... than you?"
[21:35 PM] Erynn Dinasque: When he stalls, Erynn grabs her hat back. "Come on, I let you keep the sword. That's probably worth double what you had in the purse." She adjusts it back into place. "I'm trying to work with you here. Don't be greedy."
[21:37 PM] Rallo IV: "You're a girl?" he blurts, nervously adjusting his tunic. A little bit of chivalry kicks in.
[21:39 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "...will you let me go if I say 'yes'?" She unfastens her jacket, letting it drop to the ground; she wears a tight black vest underneath which hugs her waist and bares her slender arms.
[21:42 PM] Rallo IV: "Well, uh, no, that would be..." Rallo clears his throat and adjusts himself. "I'm sorry. I really should have been more collected when apprehending you, the uh, criminal." he says, surprisingly regretful. The drillmaster would have beaten you for your handling of this one, Rallo.
[21:45 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Hey, I'll tell you what. You let me go if I give you back the purse?"
[21:46 PM] System: Alex Marcellus changed status to Online
[21:48 PM] Rallo IV: "No." he replies, stubbornly planting his foot on the ground. "It's my duty to-- ugh!" He throws his hands up, unable to keep up with the charade any longer. He's clearly sick of acting like what he isn't. "I don't even care anymore. Give me everything you snagged today and I'll let you off with a warning."
[21:48 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Ha! You old softie. The purse is in the inside pocket of the jacket." She takes a few steps back, leaving it on the ground.
[21:50 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo is at first ready to bend over and grab the jacket, but some day one training quickly comes to mind. "No. My sword's on the ground, I'm not leaving myself vulnerable. You can hand it to me."

[21:54 PM] Erynn Dinasque crosses her arms. "You're not much of a knight if you think someone on the ground can't attack you. You sure you trust me that much?"
[21:55 PM] System: Alex Marcellus changed status to Away, Dota
[21:55 PM] Rallo IV: "You still have the knife. I might as well be able to see you when you try to strike my thigh and say you just escaped a rape."
[21:57 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Ha! Hadn't even occurred to me. I'll have to try that one." For the time being she complied; she knelt down to pick up her jacket and fished out the purse.
[21:59 PM] System: Lucian Heathcliffe changed status to Away, Only kind of sort of here. PM if you want me. x3
[22:00 PM] System: Madame Crinkle is offline.
[22:00 PM] Rallo IV: He crosses his arms reservedly after accepting the purse. Although, Rallo still feels like he's forgotten something...
[22:01 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Satisfied?" She pulls the jacket back on and idly walks out towards the main street.
[22:03 PM] System: Abeth Tyson is online.
[22:05 PM] Rallo IV: "Wait." he calls. "One other thing."
[22:06 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "What's up, lawman?"
[22:10 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo pauses. He isn't totally sure how he should phrase this one. "You're very pretty." he grunts, cheeks soon going red. "... This isn't a demand, but I was wondering if you wouldn't mind uh, repaying me for letting you go. Out of gratitude."
[22:12 PM] Erynn Dinasque: It wasn't the first time a guardsman had made the 'suggestion'. Somehow the fact that he's trying to seem like he's nice just makes it worse, Erynn thinks. But it's not like she's got much of a choice. "Sure. What'd you have in mind?"
[22:13 PM] System: Abeth Tyson is offline.

[22:14 PM] Rallo IV: "I've been backed up for a week. Just a... quickie."
[22:15 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Lead the way."
[22:20 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo springs into action. "Yes. Yes uh, I... does an alley work? I've never done this before."
[22:21 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Well, we could at least find, like, a tarp or something."
[22:23 PM] Rallo IV: "I didn't really expect to just do on the ground. That's unhealthy. A eh, uh... suggestions?"
[22:25 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Surely you have a house, or a rented room, or at least a pillow on someone's floor. What's wrong with that?"
[22:27 PM] Rallo IV: "... It's across town, but if you aren't in a hurry, I don't see why not."
[22:27 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Well, I did have plans, but they don't really work without the money I didn't steal from you."
[22:29 PM] Rallo IV: Rallo isn't sure how he feels about this anymore.
[22:31 PM] Rallo IV: "... Look, I need you to guide me on this one."
[22:31 PM] Erynn Dinasque: "Your place. Let's go."
[22:33 PM] Rallo IV: He sighs, gesturing for her to follow. "It's the Brazen Bull. Come along."
[22:35 PM] Erynn Dinasque walks at his side, at arm's length. She figures once they're done she can walk out with all the valuables she can carry.
[22:35 PM] Rallo IV: (oh boy i got so caught up in being the head spaghettimancer i didn't realize it turned into 1:30 in the morning)
[22:36 PM] Rallo IV: (I need to go.)
[22:36 PM] Erynn Dinasque: All right. We can continue another time.
