An extra helping of Alphabet Soup: V is for V_la
sg_fignewton's Alphabet Soup ended up a couple letters short. One of the letters was V, and whoopsdontlooknowitsaplotbunnyauuuggghhh!
Update, 3/25/12: This fic is now subtitled 'What Vala Claimed Had Happened'.
V is for V_la
“You don’t have to act like it’s so funny.”
“But it is! I mean - of all people - you got robbed?”
“Not robbed! Robbery is, you know, I’m armed, stick ‘em up and hand over the pretties. If he’d tried that, I’d have handed him his head on a stick.”
“On a platter.”
“That too.”
“I didn’t know the terminology was so specific.”
“Well, you all have lots of really specific terms for things you do. I do too. You should be able to understand that.”
“So you weren’t exactly robbed.”
“No. I had my pocket picked.”
“And now we have to go back to the Stargate, dial home, and admit to them that we need a new GDO because you let some low-life steal ours, and we can’t exactly go back without one.”
“What did he look like?”
“Oh, you know. Not much. Not very tall, not very short, not dressed fancy. But he had the prettiest brown eyes and a really sexy accent. And he couldn’t hold his booze. Well, I thought he couldn’t. Maybe he was holding it better than I thought.”
“Wait, you were drinking with him?”
“Well, yes. We started talking shop. That’s how I knew he was a thief. He told me.”
“He what?”
“He did! He said ‘Other people’s property just comes naturally to me.’ I liked that. I think I’ll use it someday.”

Fandom: Blake's 7. For those not familiar with that show, the resident thief was named . . . Vila.
Also, for those not familiar with the later seasons of Stargate (yes, such people do exist), the resident thief was named Vala!
For the sequel, go here: Thick as Thieves. Warning: it's smutty. PG-13.
