[OOC: Dated AFTER the end of the Belldandy plot.]

To anyone who lost something important to them:

Your things aren't gone. You can find them inside the bank vault. It was necessary to make it look like they'd been destroyed, but they're not.

...

Yeah.

[Screened to Persephone]Sorry for keeping you in the dark about everything. I can come back

...

At least they aren't destroyed.

But why did you do it?

[thieveryofstars]

No. Destroying things isn't what I do.

Because in the end, it helped protect a lot of people.

[innocent_game]

...I suppose if it protected people and there was no permanent damage, it's all right.

But how did it protect people?

[thieveryofstars]

It's... a little hard to explain and there are some things that aren't my place to tell. But basically it was a decoy.

[younger_kaiba]

I don't know what you were trying to pull, but next time don't put me on your list of victims! Who knows what could have happened to that necklace when you stole it!

[thieveryofstars]

It was necessary, to protect the people in the compound. I didn't choose you or anyone else specifically.

[younger_kaiba]

How does stealing things protect people?

[thieveryofstars]

When it provides a distraction, it can. Look, I can't really justify what I did and I don't plan to try. All I'm going to say was that I wouldn't have done this just for kicks, okay?

[forgetsthemilk]

It's....it's not destroyed?

[thieveryofstars]

No, it's not. I only had to make you think it was, or this wouldn't have worked.

[forgetsthemilk]

*LOOOOOOOONG delay of him being overcome with relief.*

Well, ahem, either way, stealing is not a good thing to do.

What...exactly were you trying to work?

[thieveryofstars]

I'm sorry. Someone told me what was in that vial, so... I understand how upset you must've been.

Decoy.
