"...but keeping you all alive is a much bigger challenge."

LET'S HEIST

You've got your crew - or maybe you don't.
Maybe you were just picked up off the street,
or maybe you've been planning this for years.
But now, the streets of the city are yours,
and there's only one thing to do;

Go big or go home.


1; THE PLAN
Prepwork. Plotting. Who're you going to hit? Who's going to do what?
Figure out what you're going to do and how you're going to do it,
just keep in mind that the world rarely goes along with your careful planning.

2; THE SETUP
Get the vehicles. Get the people. Get everything in place, and get
as ready as you can possibly be. Now isn't the time to let things
go wrong...not that it's going to stop them from doing so.
2B; THE SHOPPING MONTAGE
Time to dress up like firemen!

3; THE BEGINNING (OF THE END)
Three, two, one - get your mask, get your gun, get your adrenaline
up and pumping because there's no stopping it now.

4. THE GETAWAY
You've got the goods, but can you get away from the cops? Oh, look.
They've even brought in a helicopter team - lucky you. No matter how
many you shoot, there'll always be more coming, unless you can
give them the slip...
4B; THE COLLAPSE
It's all going down, boys, you're not going to make it.
Ready to go out in a blaze of glory?
Or did you forget to restock the sticky bombs?

5. THE AFTERMATH
Did you manage to escape? Lucky you, you're part of an extremely
rare club that pays as much homage to luck as it does skill. Now,
what're you doing with the prize?...perhaps using it to invest in
your next heist?

6. THE OTHER SIDE
Are you a cop instead of a heister? Good luck.

[Soo-won smiles. It's true. The security uniforms will not work for hiding a sword.]

It isn't a problem. This will do just fine.

[But—]

Have you found one in your size?

[You are TINY TINY]

[wonthesitate]

[SHE'S NOT THAT TI-okay she kind of is. Barely 5'6 and probably only 110 pounds soaking wet. That said, she hands him the uniform and fidgets with the glove on her left hand.]

Not yet but I'm sure there's--something I can make work.

[It's an odd pattern. She fiddles with the glove, or fidgets with that hand, and things seem to work out in her favor. It's probably just a coincidence that everyone near her tends to be unfortunate in small ways for a little while right after...]

--Ah! See, here's one!

[And just like that, there's a uniform in her size. With...an eyepatch that matches? Liam, no.]

[kingcraft]

[Oh, what a nice, completely improbable fortune. Especially with the eyepatch.

Very improbable.]

Good, then we can—

[—and he trips on the hem of his robes, for real not faking it, falls to the ground, and bonks his head.]

Ah... Sorry... I must be a little distracted...

[No he fucking isn't what the fuck.]

[wonthesitate]

Oh, shit, are you alright?

[Her concern is genuine, at least, and she's crouched down to, you know, make sure he didn't do any damage. If they weren't, you know, planning a damn heist, you'd never suspect a girl like her to have done anything wrong.]

[kingcraft]

It's just my clumsiness...

[He smiles and rubs his head where it was bonked. But unlike almost every other time where he says things like that, he is not faking it. Having watched things a few times, he's not sure it WAS clumsiness or if there was something going on there. The pattern is not absent.

But it does seem kinda crazy.]

We should get ready for the next stage of the heist.

[wonthesitate]

Of course...there's still a lot to get done.

[She will, naturally, actually pay for the uniforms--what's the point in stealing now, and drawing suspicion?

Sure, the card reader malfunctions a couple times, but it works after a few tries. And ah, the cashier won't remember either of them--the phone call he gets as they leave does not sound like pleasant news.

But let us return now to...wherever these jackasses are using as a base of operations, I don't know. Soo-Won's himself it's probably fancy.]

[kingcraft]

[This girl is a menace.

Soo-won watches it all with that benign expression of his. Although they're working together on the heist, it is a fairly unlikely pair of criminals they make. Whatever slight strangeness there may be about them, both give off the impression of being less than what they are.

But Soo-won believes there is a great deal of Devi left even now beyond what he has seen.

Following the policy of 'go high or go low' Soo-won has rented them a glorious hotel suite of ambassadorial proportions. This is where they stay.

But their actual base of operations is a place in the somewhat run-down apartment building next door to their heist target. Soo-won hasn't purchased it, but he knows it is empty, and it gives them a clear line of sight to a window while providing enough cover in terms of blind corners that they can avoid being seen.]

Some time, we should look for clothing together outside of this. I'll be more careful of my step then.

[Yup. The Ambiguously Benign Duo.]

[wonthesitate]

That would be nice...you've such a warm tone to your hair, there'd be so many colors I can't try that would work.

[Almost everything she says is genuine. That might be her greatest gift--Devi almost never lies. Even if she were, it's unlikely she could be convincing enough to fool Soo-Won without outside help. And that kind of help blows the game completely, doesn't it?

But now, she sets down the blueprints, carefully and meticulously redrawn from the real ones, with distances noted in--she has no depth perception but she's learned other ways to account for it.

Most alarmingly, though, the plan she proposes uses no weaponry, or really any way to defend themselves if this goes wrong. Either she's confident, or she's insane.

Or both. Both is entirely likely.]

...Well, honestly, if we can get into the vaults, it's much easier from there. Escaping is a specialty of mine.
