THIEVERY MEME

Nothing gets a thread going like conflict! Someone stole something of yours, and you want it back, huh? Or, wait, are you the thief?

The why's and hows are up to you (though there are some prompt ideas under the cut!), but the basics are the same: One's a thief and one's a mark. What will you do to steal what you want? Or: what will you do to get it back?

Thievery threads can vary in tone and content from gritty back streets to zany adventures. You can go from violence to Robin Hood-- or a mix of both. And there's always the potential for the thief to fall in love with their mark... or is the seduction just more subterfuge? You know, there's no honor among thieves.

Specify in your toplevel if you have any preference whether you're a thief or a mark, and have fun! Likewise, some of these threads can contain violence, so please specify if that's something you'd like to avoid.

PROMPTS
1. PURSE SNATCHING: Doesn't have to be a purse! Could be a wallet! But the details are the usual: You're minding your own business on the street, and some jerk bumps into you. And-- hey! They've got your stuff! Go get 'em.

2. ROBBERY: Stick 'em up! Holding up a bank, a convenience store, a deli, it doesn't matter. The mark's just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Are they gonna try and be a hero?

3. HEIST: Sometimes you don't have to crash in guns blazing. There's hidden jewels, a secret safe, a casino that needs unloading. Maybe the mark is there to guard the treasure. Maybe they are the treasure.

4. ARMORED VAN: Who says car chases aren't exciting? That armored van has the precious goodies you want, and that driver better watch out!

5. WILDCARD: Got a better idea? Go for it!

[ he just rolls his eyes. ]

Yeah. I was working in the back-want to see the time card?

I'm sure the card will say you checked in and out exactly on time. Which is odd, considering how you're often late to... other appointments.

But convenient, as no one would have seen you back there, nor can likely corroborate your presence.

Not true. My boss knows I was there. And of course I'm on time-I have a part time job there.

But I'm sure he didn't see you much while you were back there. Convienient, as I said.

[ Hakuba snorts ]

Oh, I've no doubt you do. But I was referring to some of your... extracurricular activities.

Wrong. My boss saw me several times last night. You can ask him.

[ Since his boss is Jii-san and also his accomplice-it's not even a lie. ]

I do believe I will. But either way, I'm sure you've already planned for that.

[ Kaito just rolls his eyes and lays his head back down on his desk. He hadn't really gotten much sleep after last night's heist and Hakuba couldn't prove anything-so nap time. ]

Always napping. You know, it can't be healthy to work such late hours. Perhaps we should check what school regulations to...'part time work' are.

It's not like anything's going on right now-and since Aoko's out with a cold I don't even have her to pester.

[ He grumbles from where he's got his head on the desk. ]

Aoko-kun is probably quite glad to be not pestered.

[ Kaito just yawns. ]

Maybe, but it's funny when her face gets all red. [ Not to mention cute. ]

[ He snorts ]

You would think so.

Why else would I want to make her mad? She hits pretty hard.

I don't know, perhaps you're a masochist?

No.

[ He's not going to ask about Hakuba's opinion on Aoko's angry face. He's sure it'll just make him mad. ]

I don't know, the way you seem to enjoy the chases...

Like I said, it's funny when her face gets red. And I can't really stay still or she'll hit me.

Or you could... not flip her skirt.

[ DRYLY ]

[ WHAT? How dare you suggest such a thing. ]

But then her face wouldn't get all red.

[ Jeez Hakuba-kun, think this through. ]

[ He is not going to face palm he is not going to face palm he ...

oh hell screw it ]

It's ungentlemanly!

And at what point did I claim to be a gentleman?

[ You know, aside from when he's Kid. ]

It's also damn rude to a lady, Kuroba

No one asked for your opinion. Don't worry about it.

Then I'm sure you won't mind when I ask her on a date. Properly.

Then I'm sure you won't mind when I ask her on a date. Properly.

[ Erk. ]

What does that have to do with anything?

[ He sits up in his seat and turns to glare at the detective. He does mind. He minds a lot. However, he won't admit it because that would be admitting that he likes Aoko as more than a best friend. Which he can't do. ]
