STOP, THIEF!

So who wants to get robbed?

The thing about Balthier and Fran is that they’re sky pirates. Soaring through the air, running away from bounty hunters, stealing things, and so on. But since there’s no airship for them to use and no one’s chasing them away, that just leaves one option for them when it comes to getting their thrills and having fun – and that’s stealing.

Raina and I were thinking of having Balthier and Fran start stealing things from the foreigner population, but we’re not about to just be like “HEY BY THE WAY YOUR STUFF IS GONE” because that would be rude as heck and also not okay in the slightest. So we’re putting this up to ask if anyone would like to have Balthier and Fran steal something from their character!

Aaand that’s pretty much it. If you want Balthier and Fran to take something of yours, just let us know these things:
• Who they’re stealing from:
• What’s being stolen:
• Character reaction:
• Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: (Don’t want to get caught on the first job, after all!)

Any other details (such as when, how, etc.) can be worked out from there. So yes! If you want something valuable or precious to be taken by a couple of sky pirates, let us know!

•Who they’re stealing from: Makoto Kino
•What’s being stolen: Her wrist communicator (instead of having a blue face it will have an emerald face). It doesn't work, but it's foreign technology with sentimental value...on top of that it's shiny...and emerald...and gold...so.
•Character reaction: She'll be angry naturally, but being that she is Makoto she will give them a chance to return the communicator before flipping her skittles and hunting them down.
•Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: Absolutely.

• Who they’re stealing from: Midii Une
• What’s being stolen: A small, golden cross on a matching chain. The cross itself is twisted and warped and even broken, having been what looks like glued back together...but it is made of real gold, and thus, still carries value.
• Character reaction: She'll be incredibly upset over not being able to find it, possibly to the point of tears.
• Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: Absolutely!

I'm really interested in this because then Javert has some thieves to prey on and distract his addled mind.

Who they’re stealing from: Javert
What’s being stolen: His silver snuffbox, half-filled with fresh high-quality snuff. It's his rare splurge item.
Character reaction: Annoyance then intrigue. What kind of thief would have the balls to snatch something from his pockets, unnoticed? How did he neglect to notice it? Very interesting and exciting for a wolf on the prowl. And if he were to ever catch you guys, he'd be way too sassy about it.
Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: I AM! But we should work out the details about this. Javert has a very odd and mystical 'sixth sense' about this kind of stuff, and we'd just have to figure how this would happen without him putting two and two together.

• Who they’re stealing from: Tony Chu
• What’s being stolen: Let's go for the old favorite: his wallet! (unless they'd want to steal his prosthetic ear which would be TERRIBLE AND HILARIOUS)
• Character reaction: HE WILL BE PISSED. Sure, the money and credit cards don't work here, but there's a picture of his girlfriend AND of his daughter in there. Also seriously he was a cop how did he not realize he was pickpocketed. B( He'll try to hunt them down for sure, possibly dragging his partner Colby around with him in the search.
• Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: Yes!! He's a fairly decent detective, though, so they'll need to be extra tricky.

• Who they’re stealing from: Sylar
• What’s being stolen: Anything from the following list; just let me know.

x1 badge, identifying himself as “Steve Donner” with Homeland Security
x2 handheld flashlights
x1 night-vision goggles
x1 binoculars
x1 radio with plain earpiece and mic (standard government issue)
x2 collapsed bungee rope segments, extending to 10' each
x20 industrial zipties
x1 Swiss Army knife
x2 tactical armor elbow pad
x2 tactical armor knee pad
x1 flash bang grenade
x1 Heckler & Koch USP (9mm)
+ x1 magazine, full with 15 rounds

• Character reaction: Depends what they take. He'll probably be pretty irritated, but not wholly furious. He may try to kill them when they're found out though (again, depending what they take.. I can give you 'more angry' and 'less angry' options if you like!)
• Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: Absolutely

•Who they’re stealing from: The Doctor
•What’s being stolen: So the Doctor has this super fun thing called infinite pockets so picking them won't be easy. They could literally come away with a handful of anything from sweets to a yoyo or a barbie doll. Or, more interestingly, they could get their hands on his sonic screwdriver. A handy-dandy tool that is capable of opening any door and scanning most items fo readings and information. Could be useful for them or fetch a cool price.
•Character reaction: He will go from bemusement to anger to panic to pointlessly flailing around in angst until he finds it again.
•Are you okay with not knowing the culprits right away: Yuuuup!
