[Lupin is sitting in front of the camera, looking a little confused, a little shy.]

Soooo....  [Behind him stand a young man in a top hat and older clothing who seems very similar to the thief, and a beautiful young Japanese woman in a yukata.] Um. Guys. Meet my mama, and papi. [There is another figure, but his back is turned to Lupin and the other

...You know, that's weird - your dad is the only one I've seen who doesn't stare at the person they're haunting.

[theebest_thief]

Like I told you, dad didn't really follow the groove of my other folks. He wasn't a horrible man, but he grew up with an ego bigger than mine. And a lot of spite for a lot of people, myself and my mother included.

[needs_a_plan]

Ego bigger than yours? I'm having trouble imagining that. Anyway, he looks like an asshole.

[theebestthief]

Yeah... Well, he was a big enough asshole to deny me as his son without bothering to see the facts. Even if it meant getting me out of that shit orphanage.

[needs_a_plan]

Hm. Did he have any other kids?

[theebestthief]

Probably. My grandfather had been willing to look for any half-siblings, but in the end, it was nearly impossible. The only reason he'd found me was my mother's letters they'd found a year later.

[needs_a_plan]

Huh. I don't know if my father had any other kids, but I assume he probably did. Hell, he probably got married a few more times. If he hadn't already been married when he left my mother, I mean. Who knows.

[thebest_thief]

Well, he have asshole dads in common, then?

[needs_a_plan]

We have a lot of things in common. Which doesn't prevent you from being obnoxious.

[best_thief_ever]

What's wrong with being obnoxious?

[needs_a_plan]

Pff, probably nothing for you.

[thee_bestthief]

Well, then I'm all for it!

[needs_a_plan]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[theebest_thief]

Aaaaw, am I so easy to read?

[needs_a_plan]

Maybe.
