YOU CAN GET OUT NOW, IF YOU WANT

[dousing]

CON PERSON/GRIFTER MEME It's a seductive sort of trade. Trick people for a living. Put on your best charming face and rob them blind. Use your skills to steal art, money, never have to worry about your livelihood. Evade being caught, live the thrill of knowing you're in a precarious place, a hair's breadth from ruin. You can handle it. Are you an unrepentant crook or are you a reformed thief? Essentially: are you a threat or benevolent benefactor? You steal from the rich but do you keep it for yourself or give to the poor? Not all grifters can be emotionless monsters, after all. • Top level your character. Include any details you might think are relevant. Or don't. As always, we're not the cops. Which is good, 'cause y'all are damn criminals. • Reply to other people's top levels! • Have fun!

[honeybadgered]

[Can be the thief of the tiniest, cutest muscle.]

[beatupgrass]

[Gabby's in space again, and we're just glossing over continuity differences between comics and MCU because we can. At the moment, Gabby and Rocket have sneaked away from the rest of the party so they can hustle some people in a crowded, janky bar.]

So here's a dumb question. How good are you at pretending to be a cute, lost kid?

[honeybadgered]

[She gives him a look that's far too sarcastic and done with his shit to pass off as cute and loss, then drops it, opening her eyes wide and tucking her hands behind her back.]

Gosh, Mister Raccoon guy, you're not suggesting I lie, are you?

[She's laying it on thick, but she's naturally so cute that it kind of works. She drops it with a shrug.]

Like taking candy from a candy factory.

[beatupgrass]

Why do you teenagers have give somebody lip every damn time? [He rolls his eyes.] Okay, you see that big dude over there.

[He points out an extremely large alien who has a lot of teeth that are in no way of the vicinity of straight and poke out of his mouth in bizarre angles.] That jerk owes me money from a orloni fight weeks ago. I'm thinkin' you lay on the cuteness and I'll steal the jerk's wallet.

[honeybadgered]

[Gabby looks out consideringly, then skips out in front of the scary alien guy, hands behind her back. And claws in.]

My, what big teeth you have. [She beams.] They're very pretty. How long do they take to brush?

[beatupgrass]

[The alien looks tough and irritated for approximately five seconds and then softens almost comically.

"Heh heh. You're a cute one, aren't you? Where's your mommy and daddy?" And then he pats her head.

Rocket who has been stealthing up from behind cringes and mutters under his breath.] Aw man. He probably shouldn't have done that.

[honeybadgered]

[She smiles sweetly at him, then snikt! Her claws come out and she casually stabs him in the hand. Not fatally! Just enough to be like hey maybe don't pat her head without asking.]
