un: dappled pearl of the parted seas [voice]

[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!))

[ Enjoy his rare praise. Not many people earn it.

It's true, he does know what the hell he's doing, more than most. Moran isn't the first to recognize that, but at least he doesn't seem as manipulative as others who pay him a compliment. Five expanded on his idea all on his own. ]

...Good. Anyway, in this case, it's about survival. As long as you can get the others to understand that, there's no reason why this won't work.

We will only bring in people who have no objections, to cut short on palabres. Those who would rather not need not put their morals in peril, after all, as long as they do not try to prevent it.

How shall we proceed for reconnaissance? We can't very well just walk in to have a look, it would be too conspicuous.

[ That sounds more than alright with him. As much as he enjoys arguing, it takes up too much time, and he's not going to be the one who bends.

It's refreshing, almost. This feels like a conversation between adults, and Five relaxes into the idea. He brings up a good point. Especially given the heightened awareness of their group. ]

I've started to take notes from the outside. We can get a feel for how often they rotate security without getting close.

A better view of the layout wouldn't hurt anything. ...I'm not sure we can get our hands on something as useful as a map unless we make other contacts.

[ The unasked question is if he has any. Not entirely necessary, but it would cut down on how many jumps he has to make if he knows exactly where he's going. Not to mention where the guards are stationed. ]

[beitangmoran]

We'll need to ask around and see if any of our recruits have ideas on how to do that. Who knows, maybe someone else might be able to do something with their abilities that we cannot.

[Some people have been pretty straightforward with what they can do, others prefer not to say, but suely if it helps, they will say something.]

[somebadnews]

[ He nods again, slower, considering what he said earlier. ]

Anything’s possible. [ Don’t get sidetracked. ] Right. We’ll have a meeting. You can start with the ones who already contacted you and go from there. I’ll work on the rest.

[beitangmoran]

Excellent. We'll manage to make something happen, it seems. I was not expecting that, but it's rather exciting.

[He's never had to earn money before, and he's certainly never stolen money before. It's pretty exciting.]

[somebadnews]

[ He's about to leave him to it, but his eyes snap back at that last word. ]

Exciting? We're doing this because it's absolutely necessary for our survival. Don't forget that.

[ Shaking his head, he starts for the door before he botches the whole deal. (Young people...) He's forcibly calmer when he looks back. ]

I'll be in touch.
