[F21-PP-PT] Conniving Duo

[Voodoo 0]

Leaning up against the wall just to the left of a window. Blinds shut, it was dim lighting due to a few lanterns that were lit with candles. Pulling up his black clothed gloves watching his lady scavenge through shelving in the main room. He would also be listening for the click of the door unlocking. The person that lived here had a routine, one that was very carefully watched in the shadows of Tomoika. This was one of those times that the resident was suppose to be gone for a couple hours. It had only been maybe 20 minutes but there was always that chance that the outcome would become different from unknown circumstances. This wasn't like robbing a bank but to be honest it was the closest they were going to get. 

Voodoo's eyes would follow his loves movements, each step graceful and careful. Peering to the left, a small shelf with a jewelry box laying on top. He would take two fingers and flip it open. There inside would be a couple ugly rings and a necklace. One that would make him smile. A silver chain with a little silver star that looked like it had a few gems attached to the interior. Diamond is what it looked like at first glance. Picking it up in his gloved hands, holding it against his palm for a better look. His woman would come around the corner, back into the main room, he would join her. 

On approaching Ecstasy, he would take her hand and twirl her in one swift movement then pin her against the wall lightly with a smile inches from her face. Raising his hand up, allowing the star drop from his palm for her to see as it dangles on a single finger by the chain. "A beautiful piece for a beautiful woman" saying in a soft delicate voice. He would place the necklace on her neck, gloved hands brushed against her skin as he attached the metal together. "You will become a star once more, soon, I promise my love." A light brush against her cheek with the back of his slightly curved pointer finger.

That was when he heard the dead bolt unlock from across the room. He would quickly pick up the nearest vase, the moment the man comes through the door there is a flying vase to the face. It would hit the man in the head and they would fall limp to the floor rendering them unconscious in game terms. Glancing back to Ecstasy with a smile, "Duty calls" a small peck on her cheek as he would tend to the man that he knocked out. Closing the door first, locking it again, tying him up with anything that he could find near by and tossing him in a closet. Killing was not a thing he did but that didn't mean that he couldn't make it hard as shit to get free.

[Raidou 1]

The city was just as active as ever, Tomoika was a city that virtually never slept. All manner of hours, miners would frequent its caverns to gather themselves some of the many minerals and ore from the shafts that dotted its outskirts. Even central to the town were some exits and burrows, causing the place to reflect vegas in its endless watchful eye. The NPC that frequented its walks and paths were rough to say the least, covered in dirt and dust. Scrapes across their callused hands and cuts across toughened skin. The dwarves had long since been watered down by all number of races, yet still held a majority of the occupants of the city. Even players from all over aincrad made frequent stops within the city for wares not found elsewhere, yet despite it the player count was rather sparse. Raidou more then found such a thing odd, but it probably had a lot to do with the fact that it was entirely submerged beneath earth, allowing no sky and no sunlight.

The man was on his own excursion, digging down the pathways from building to building. Holding conversation with new or familiar friends, that were brief and to the point in their context. To most it would appear only as simple statements to the status quo, or small inquiries into what had transpired. Yet to the more keen mind, there was an underlying nuance to the motives behind such topics that would be nigh discernable from common exchanges. Such was the way of the nomad to wander, to question and to understand. His methods were mystery, his motives were an enigma. But his study proved fruitful, and his network expanded ever more into a web so large that most could not understand its width. Tomoika was a home to him, and the NPC within it knew him better then the ill omen in red. They knew him as a mainstay, a neighbor.

The woman smiles in a flirty twist toward her beloved, drawing a trail across his jawline. "He's secured? Can't have him make the connection." Ecstasy wiggles the handle, reaching into her coat and pulling out a thin slant of iron. A lockpick. Slinking it into the lock, a cat like finesse as she presses her ear to the door. A click of tumblers as her moan suggestively, and she holds it tight. "Got it?" She remarks to Voodoo letting him take hold of the pick. Removing a metal strand of wire, she winds it around the back making a show of rubbing Voodoo's arm and fingers suggestively as she does like a provocative dance. Confident its tight, she passes the wire to him and leans on his strength with a full faith in it. "Bind it to something, the chair under a knob trick. Don't want him popping out of there too early."

Hopping up on top of a large table, she steps down to the click of her heels its length as if it were a fashion highway. Every so often she winds back and kicks a glass or plate off, smiling and chuckling enjoying their little break and enter. Spotting a glass case, the woman's smile widen and lock to Voodoo with a jerk to point it out. "Aww John, you shouldn't have~" A lift of her skirt in a slow draw, to make a show of revealing her thigh. A garter that rests there she removes a small knife, sliding it along her skin and pressing it against her lips locking eyes with Voodoo. The skirt drops as she does, planting herself on the edge of the table. To the glass, she draws a small circle making a light grinding noise as the point cuts in. Grabbing a cloth napkin from the table she fishes out the disk of glass, then gives a pair of puppy dog eyes to Voodoo. She knew she had to allow him to 'steal it' for her, but this was part of the game. Lifting her hair up, she lays bear the back of her neck.

Making some weird jury rigged tie blocking the door completely, the man would have issues getting out when he woke up with his arms and legs being bound together. They would be long gone before then. Grabbing a chair for extra security, turning it and pushing it under the door nob. Nudging it a bit further until he was sure that it wouldn't come undone without a battle. Watching her very carefully, her bare skin, the light bite of his bottom lip as her eyes lock to his. His breathing becomes slightly uneven, if he was being honest it was nothing new. A chuckle as he would join his love in a rush to not keep her waiting.  

Standing right in front of her, placing a hand on her lower back and pulls her closer to him. His frame is what kept her steady, 'You know that I can't resist that pleading look of yours" saying gazing into her eyes with his left hand now on her thigh while the other tucks a bang behind that ear of hers. Turning his head slightly to the treasure that was marked, a pair or light purple earrings in the shape diamond with a silver rimming. It had small dangling bits hanging from the bottom. He would take them from the glass case with a smile, no hesitation. Pushing himself lightly against her to keep her from falling, he would softly grab her hand in his left and place the earring into her palm. "They will look perfect with your memorizing eyes my love." Leaning down, his lips press gently against her exposed neck. Holding both side of her hips, he would lifl her up and slowly bring her back down into a hug. "Is there anything else in this building that you want my love. If not perhaps in the mansion on top of this hill outside." Kissing her on the forehead before hesitantly releasing her. "I would like to find a few stiff drinks for when we open shop again" he would say as he started looking around himself.

With the door fully secured, the earrings placed in her hand as a warmth played on her neck. A familiar warmth that predates the game, mirrored regularly by the system indistinguishable down to the lines on Voodoo's rough lips. The woman was more then used to the sensation of it. "I know they do, a girls appearance is worth its weight in gold. On that note...." She'd scan the room with a sweep of her eyes, pressing the earrings into her ears free of any cursor hits given they were given after being stolen. "We can probably find quite a few bottles of bubbly in a rich flat like this, John." The groaning and moaning causes her to claim Voodoo's hand from her hip. "Wonder what else we can snag real quick, I brought the big box this time. Anything worth a damn in this can can probably fetch a small fortune, Benny in the closet probably won't mind. Consider it a rebate for all his comments and hands earlier tonight." That coy smile and playful twist knowing full well three cups of bourbon and a maroon lipstick had got him there. An open hand to his face as she turns around, collapsing into his chest with her back. Her hips pressed against him. "Can't wait. Wonder how many threads those bedsheets have. Probably worth more then some houses."

Releasing her beloved, the click of her heels as she'd rub a hand on the banister. Up the stairs scanning the room for things of worth, anything that caught her gaze as if silently screaming dollar signs through the air. All manner of paintings lining the walls, statues of marble, and candelabra of gold. The extravagancy dwarfed the rest of the floor, but made the man who owned it all the more a target.

[Raidou 1]

There was an distinguishable static in the air, as if the night was charged by some unseen force. Raidou was on edge, finding the shift in atmosphere a bit alien. He couldn't quite place the reason behind the shift, but it was a light bit quieter that was easy to overlook. The nomad was keeping his eyes and ears open as he'd continue his rounds. The settlement itself seemed about as normal as usual, but he couldn't help but shake the odd feeling boiling in his stomach. Glancing up at some of the windows that had since become dim as the twilight closed in despite the lack of a sky. Instinctually the player would begin to ping away with his detection, aiming to catch whatever oddity had befallen Tomoika as he'd stroll.

"I need this list." Raidou dropped to a shopkeeper without much context, instead choosing to pass a folded slip of paper to the obtuse dwarven woman who takes it into the palm of her hand. A glance to her surroundings before darting into the back room of her establishment. 15 minutes pass by with an odd fixture that was the nomad in crimson standing silent sentry waiting for the NPC to return. After a few moments she comes back with a small gilded music box and a linen bag. "Thank you." With his wares purchased, the man exits the shop to the ring of a bell. NPC begin to tap nearby crystals to allow light upon the streets in a myriad of colors from the stones that worked the part of flames in those standing lanterns. They offered blooms of all shade across the rough cobbled stone and gleams of the same off brass walls, reaffirming the vegas like flare that was owned by this settlement.

"Hmm" humming quietly as he could feel that warmth through his cloth. "Possible, he seems like the type to hide the good stuff." He would follow behind his love, she would walk into a room at the top of the staircase. A first glance he wouldn't see anything but his lady was the digger. If there was something there, she would find it. Walking a little further down the hall way there was only a few doors. Pushing each open, they were left white and very absent of anything. "Shame" saying as he turns and joins Ecstasy in the room. Given there wasn't much more downstairs in the kitchen or main room, there had to be a hidden compartment somewhere in this joint. 

Lifting the mattress to see if there was anything under the bed, a suitcase. He pushed it out from underneath the bed for a later check. Right now was all about revealing the content, then it would be deciding what was worth something. Ecstasy was looking through drawers, he would head to the closet. Some suits, looked kinda boring. There was thing that caught his eye, a black trench coat. Pulling it from the hanger and trying it on, it was a perfect fit. Lifting a box from the top closet shelf, he would empty the items inside it on the floor. Mostly papers, nothing to exciting. Dropping the box on the ground, splitting the coats in half to either side revealing a safe. "Oh hello, Love over here needs your expertise. This is a pretty big safe" announcing the find and stepping back.

Eyes would trace the room, there was an in table next to the bed with a liqueur glass sitting empty upon it. Curious he would extend his vision. Anything that may of been moved, shifted and left a stain of sorts from being moved so much. Eventually his perception would fall upon the rug that was slightly pressed down further than the rest. With a smirk painted across his face he would move the wardrobe in the same matter of the markings. Coming into view was a trap door. "Now that's what I'm talking about" saying as he lifts the wooden door up. From just the top you could smell a mixture of dust and alcohol. To him that screamed old drinks and other mixes that he could use later down the road. He would wait for Ecstasy, they traveled the rooms together. It was mainly to cut down on the waiting of gathering, that and safety in numbers. Watching his woman dance around was just a plus, "We could try out the bed sheets before we leave? See if it is something that we want for later." A coil smile held on his face as he pull checks the inner pockets of the jacket he took. There was a small container full of cigars. "Nice" he would take one out and place it just between his lips watching.
