[As usual, please ignore the ... background noise. Moran has tried to find a quiet place to speak from, but some of the noise is from the network, not his surroundings, and he'll be speaking through most of it without paying attention to it.]

With the news that our good friend who freed us from our chains gave us, I think we might need to hasten our money gathering. We have been doing alright for living expanses, but if we wish to accumulate the amount he mentioned, it will take more than that.

I'm not sure how we can do this short of robbing a bank, though. Does anyone have any good ideas?




((OOC : Bank Heist IC planning is a go! We will need mod approval for our plan and then get our success rate and consequences worked out, so watch the OOC thread for the final plan!))

[beitangmoran]

You... actually think a robbery is a good idea?

[He thew in the comment mostly idly because someone mentioned it in an almost jokey way, but...]

[plentystrong]

sure

what, you got moral objections? we literally were abducted to this place through some kind of interpersonal portal we owe this world nothing

also it's the most efficient way of getting that cash

[beitangmoran]

I personally do not, although some of our companions do.

I suppose we might have to look into it.

[plentystrong]

well they don't need to know do they

[beitangmoran]

In that case we might need to stop speaking of it here. It was just reminded to me this is a rather public forum.

[plentystrong]

right

so you got any more buckets to deliver to my doorstep

[beitangmoran]

If you'd like to come to my rooms with some tea, you are most welcome, young lady.

[plentystrong]

Tea. Right. I can do that.

[ She'll steal it from the kitchens probably. ]

[beitangmoran]

Excellent. I'll tell you more then.

action;

[plentystrong]

[ It's fairly easy to Catra to snatch a pot of freshly brewed tea from the kitchens. She used to sneak contraband back at the Horde, and this place is not that different.

When she arrives at Moran's door, she does have the decency to knock. ]

Tea delivery.

[beitangmoran]

Come in.

[The room is pretty sparsely furnished, like all of them, but Xunxian has tried to arrange things in a slightly fetching fashion nonetheless. Moran is seated near a table, with paper and his inkwell and brush, tracing characters.]

[plentystrong]

[ Catra doesn't hesitate, entering the room and closing the door behind her. She walks up to the table and sets down the teapot. ]

Here's your tea.

[beitangmoran]

Thank you.

[He'll get two cups and pour, and take a sip... and make a small face. Brewed too long. Oh well.]

So I take it you are interested in acquiring coin even if in a slightless less than legal manner.

[plentystrong]

[ She looks at him like she doubts his intelligence. ]

Yeah, obviously. Why else would I be here?

[beitangmoran]

Have you actually done this before?

[Moran has never really been around scoundrels and outlaws or anything like that. It's fascinating.]

[plentystrong]

Not exactly. [ She shrugs, then smirks and puffs out her chest as she boasts: ] But I've run entire military campaigns before. How hard can this be?

[beitangmoran]

[Oh, that's interesting.]

So we do have our common points, I see.

We will need to coordinate with several people for this. I think a meeting f all willing is probably going to be in order soon, so we can better organize.
