Mu~

[there is a baby sitting on the steps of an abandoned shop- an old department store with a couple of battered vending machines to the right, probably empty, and not running. mammon hasn't bothered to check- they're just sitting there, slouched forward a little, legs splayed. they've been testing this area for illusions, so if you've been trying

[she walks by the vending machines, hoping to find something to eat, but got turned around twice. she finally notices a hunched over form and waves.]

You know if there's any food in there?

[greedy_viper]

I don't believe it matters, unless you have a key for the system.

[the price of picking up a stick and opening the vending machine for you would be around 25 euros. just saying :/]

[firefists]

Well, breaking the thing if there's something in there would be easy, wouldn't it?

[Pffft. She can open it on her own.]

[greedy_viper]

Then I suppose you might as well open it and see.

[in which case mammon will probably leech off of her. specially if there's lemonade or something involved.]

[firefists]

[Tatsuki nods and looks around, spotting a big rock. She walks over, grabs it and hurls it at the machine, causing the glass to shatter and fall to the ground. She then proceeds to approach the machine and eyes the remains.]

Sweet! There're two candy bars here and... 2 cans of lemonade? How random is that?

[greedy_viper]

[mammon examines the loot quietly for a moment, before creating an illusionary double exactly where they're sitting. making an illusion of invisibility, they stagger to their feet and waddle over to where the lemonade is nestled in the vending machine.]

[well, they are thirsty. reaching in there and taking one, which vanishes from view as they return to their original position.]

[firefists]

[Tatsuki's jaw drops.]

H-H-How did you do that?!

[greedy_viper]

[storing the lemonade under their cloak before they drop the illusion, exactly in place as if they'd never moved.]

Please refrain from accusing me of things I haven't done.

[firefists]

[omgwtfbbq.]

Then how-how-how did the lemonade disappear like that?

[greedy_viper]

[what indeed. have a serious frown.]

Perhaps you miscounted.

[firefists]

No, there were two there. Quit messing with me.

[She turns towards them.]

[greedy_viper]

I don't know what happened to the other one then.

[mammon shrugs.]

[firefists]

[You're lying.]

Wow, well, can I offer you a candy bar?

[greedy_viper]

[rather blatantly, yes.]

If you wish, I suppose, although eating candy on an empty stomach is generally inadvisable.

[firefists]

[Just admit it.]

Do you want the candy bar or not?

[greedy_viper]

[no. and have a small frown.]

I said yes. I'll keep it for later.
