38th feather [video/action]

[Today's video feed starts with a close-up on a really bored-looking Murkrow, only to move to show Crow walking down the corridor of Cianwood inn.]

--and you could get a hobby that doesn't include playing with the 'Gear-- [He stops abruptly when he reaches his room and, upon opening the door, both he and the viewers are greeted by the sight of a

At least this time it wasn't you, Biz-- eh?

[The Aipom who was formerly on his shoulder is now sifting through the PILE O' LOOT, looking for wallets...]

Oi, Biz! C'mon!

[action]

[darkenedgales]

[Ha ha ha. Very funny, Kaito. Meanwhile, Blizzard jumps to protect his treasure from the monkey because HOW DARE HE STEAL FROM A THIEF-- until Crow hits him on the head and shoots Biz an angry look.]

Don't think 'bout it. We're giving all of it back.

[bakaitoukid]

[HACKLES = RAISED ON THIS LITTLE PURPLE MONKEY. He is now holding a wallet protectively against his chest as he shoot the Delibird a look]

... geez. 'S like we're surrounded by thieves. [hahahaha] Need help?

[action]

[darkenedgales]

[IS THAT A CHALLENGE? The penguin lets out an aggressive squeak and tries to attack Biz, but Crow holds him tight.]

Gee, I can't imagine why! [SARCASM, in case you can't tell.] It'd be nice if you took that wallet back. Hell if I'm getting stuck doing community service for a week again.

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

I've got it!

[Biz, having climbed up on top of a lamp once the Delibird tried to attack him, is still holding the wallet as tightly as he can. Kaito easily plucks him off of the top and holds him out by his tail]

C'mon, Biz, you know the drill.

[Blizzard cries loudly and flails, because HIS SHINY THINGS, LEAVE THEM ALOOONEEE, but that only leads to him being hit again.]

Whatever made me think keeping this guy was a good idea? Keh...

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Where'd you get him, anyway?

[... wrestling the wallet from Biz's gras]

[action]

[darkenedgales]

I got him in exchange for a Swablu egg!

[brb smacking the penguin who's gone suspiciously quiet... just because he got busy trying to reach into Crow's pocket.]

... Guess you can tell why the previous owner wanted to get rid of him, huh?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

I can take a few guesses. Might get it right on the first try.

[action]

[darkenedgales]

Go ahead! I'll give ya a hint: it has something to do with his, er, "hobby".

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Ha--! What do you know, that was gonna be my first guess.

[action]

[darkenedgales]

Seriously? Gosh, you'd make such an awesome detective! [See that troll grin? SEE IT?]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

... pass.

[action]

[darkenedgales]

[snickers]

Kinda figured you wouldn't wanna!

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

Who would want to? Sounds like a boring profession. [linking his hands behind his head]

[action]

[darkenedgales]

Like anything connected to law enforcement. Although--

[He finally lets the Delibird go and rests his chin on his hand.]

... I guess some people see it as a way to protect what they care for.
