[phone//The Thief Always, part 1]

[It's nighttime, and Chizuko is calling from a payphone. She's scoped the joint out, making sure noone is nearby to observe her and is disguising her voice by speaking in a lower pitch than normal, speaking through a set of walky talkies and placing a towel over the receiver. The resulting voice is waspish and androgynous, not recognizable as

I'm sure there are other ways to rebel against the enemies. Have you considered alternatives such as throwing eggs at Police Officer Grady's house? Or slash the Milkman's tires on his milk truck?

Your sarcasm is amusing. But i'm only warming up with this.

[inababanchou]

Oh, sorry. I did not intend for sarcasm. I think if you were to throw wrenches in their plans, you should pester them directly. I don't see how stealing jewelry from the Hardware store can be a constructive act of defiance. I don't like them much either.

[grand_theft_moe]

Truthfully, i'm just warming up with this. I intend to move on to more vital items once i'm back in practice.

Also, it will infuriate Grady. Is that not a worthy goal in itself?

I've only been here for a day and I've had the pleasure of not meeting Officer Grady. I hear when he's on a rampage, taking cover is the best action against him.

[grand_theft_moe]

That is correct. The shadows are the best cover there is.

[inababanchou]

I'm told not even the darkest shadows can conceal you from Officer Grady.

Okay I just made that up. But he does seem to be intensely ferocious. I don't like him for bringing me to this place, but I'm very wary of his ability. If an enemy's location is compromised but the enemy has no fear to move, then sure he must be extremely powerful.

[grand_theft_moe]

He is ferocious, but also shortsighted, like a boar. He sees a lot but comprehends little.

Even if I find the vehicle which to carry your message a little dubious, good luck with your heist. I hope you succeed in your purpose of enraging Officer Grady.
