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!

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

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

[awhitehorse]

It's also damn rude to a lady, Kuroba

[theinfamous1412]

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

[awhitehorse]

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. ]

[awhitehorse]

Nothing. Of course. But I am sure Aoko-kun would appreciate a gentleman's care.

Too bad, she's out with a cold. She'll probably be just fine without you.

A gentleman can be patient - I don't mind waiting.

[theinfamous1412]

[ But he minds you waiting. ]

[ However, there's not a whole lot he can say to that so he just glares. ]
