[Those inside 508 Ricardo Street will hear snippets of an argument between Frances and her newly-droned not-dad.] --no, I didn't get ya a present, what do ya think, you're not my real dad, idiot-- What! Grounded! Ya can't-- I'm not walkin' up these stairs 'cause ya told me to, stupid, I'm doin' it 'cause I wanna!

What's a kid like you want with a bunch of rope?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Art project.

I'm sneakin' outta my house, stupid! What does it sound like I'm doin'?!

[lifeofavarice]

Do you really want me to answer that, kid?

What's in it for me?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

No, I probably don't.

Dunno... I'll put ya on my "Will Not Shoot In The Face The Second I Get My Weapons Back" list or somethin'. It's a very exclusive list.

[lifeofavarice]

Ye...ah. Good luck with that one. It wouldn't keep me down.

How much rope?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

We'll see.

'bout... two stories worth? It'd probably be better to have more than less, really.

[lifeofavarice]

I look forward to it!

Give me ten.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Alright.

[lifeofavarice]

[And true to his word, ten minutes later, Greed is climbing up the tree near the second story window, the rope wrapped safely around his shoulder.. Was that a pebble or a boulder hitting the window? Whatever it was, it cracked.]

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[A few seconds after the pebble hits, a small, redheaded girl in a green pinafore dress opens the window.] Ya the guy from the phones?

[lifeofavarice]

The one and only, kid.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Alright, just throw the rope over. [She leans out the window a bit.]

[lifeofavarice]

[Tosses it!]

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[Catches it!] Yes! [She disappears into her room, but that voice can carry for miles.] Didn't expect an adult to keep his promises, but this town's weird like that, I guess!

[lifeofavarice]

I try to keep all my promises. I've never told a single lie in my entire life. [Sounding oh so smug as he just chills out on the branch.]

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[She returns a few moments later and throws the rope over the side of the window, the other side of the rope securely fastened to something. She climbs out of the window and starts scaling the house like a mountain climber.

A few seconds later, she's on the ground, a very self-satisfied look on her face.] Easy.
