Eh? How should I know? Did you forget how this works? You're the ones going after it, and I'm just the informant. [ they wave a paw in the air. ] Plausible deniability.
Besides, you already paid me, or you wouldn't be getting this map in the first place.
[ they point a claw at hung. ]
Wouldn't want to go in unprepared, would ya? Anyone else goes in there is gonna be setting up traps and the like. Ain't that how your type works these jobs, to make sure you win?
[ she shrugs a little at the warehouse question with eyes that literally say "i have no idea what any of this is!!!" :grimace_face: she leans an elbow on the bar, chin in her hand. ]
Fine, fine, clearly I've hit my head one too many times... I guess let's have a look at the warehouse... stock up or whatever on what we need for this mission.
[ she does not like having to simply agree, so she just makes a face. weird dreams about talking, sassy leopards, while her friends are here! what will her brain think up next!!! ]
But what you're saying is, if we wanna win, we gotta play dirty, too? Or is that more of a "watch out" kinda warning?
[ hung will be the responsible one with all of his pockets and whatnot, neatly folding the map again to put in a more reachable pouch before he takes the blueprints to carefully do the same with.
once it's an acceptable square, he slides it into the pouch he usually keeps his phone in. rip. ]
Thanks, then. Glad we could do business with you. [ he reaches to tug at the hem of jolyne's shirt, like, c'mon, before gesturing at danny with a hand and a nod to indicate yeah. he agrees. let's go talk where there's not another furry. ]
[ leopard gives a lazy salute as they go on their way.
it takes half an hour to reach the warehouse, and when they arrive, they will instinctively recognize it as their home base. there's all manner of equipment here, all designed for thieving: grappling hooks, ropes, thief's outfits, localized emp devices, etc. whatever you could possibly need, you could find it here.
each of you already has rope, a set of lock picks, caltrops, a small file, a small mirror mounted on a metal handle, a set of narrow-bladed scissors, and a pair of pliers. you each only have room for one more item from the warehouse, as well as your preferred thief's outfit.
so what, exactly, do you need? it's 10:30 AM, and time is ticking. ]
[ she is tugged and looks back like >:/ but not in a mean way, just in a "i dislike this weird situation" way. but it's fine. she just gives the leopard a thumbs up and will scoot with hung and danny, giving them both a firm pat on the shoulder, i'm sorry now these are her boys. we're gonna Heist.
jolyne will probably get dressed first in a cool super spy suit and she looks very very enthused by it. but the enthusiasm goes away in a few minutes as she kind of starts sifting through the equipment. ]
If our powers aren't working, this is gonna be a little difficult, but not impossible.
[ she pokes at one of the emp devices and picks it up then, turning it over in her hands. she should not look this comfortable with the idea of STEALING THINGS!!!!!! but here she is. ]
This is really weird though, right? I'm not the only one thinkin' that. It's way too real to be a dream.
If it were a dream, my head wouldn't still be hurting from that power failure earlier.
[ he says this while rummaging around through things himself. He peruses the fancy devices idly, but doesn't commit to anything. He does, however, commit to an outfit with red accents that he tries not to look too pleased about as he puts it on. ]
We're not seriously going to do this, though, right? We've got bigger things to worry about than some casino heist. Like where we are, and how we got here, and what happened to our powers.
I mean, we've been kidnapped by this place once before with no memories of how it happened... so.
[ there's a moment where hung seems to be dissociating, even as he answers the two of them. his fingers briefly pass over the various things that have been set out for them, with a kind of familiarity that he's not too happy about. it's a different context, but...
he gathers his longer hair up to pull back, setting it into a low, messy bun before he puts a black ball cap on. i'm assuming that all of the clothes that are for hung probably are made for him so horn hole and tail hole. and he just - picks something familiar. it's fine. ]
There are power dampeners in the jail, so it could be that. But... [ looking around the warehouse, real quick, is there anything that stands out as strange? any cameras, any equipment/tech that doesn't look like it belongs or has been disturbed to put something in them (like smoke alarms)? ]
[ you will all feel a niggling sensation in the backs of your minds, reminding you that you do want to be the first to get that treasure. it's supposed to be really valuable, after all, and you know other teams are after it, too. choose your items wisely!
nothing stands out as strange to hung. it all appears to be things that he and the team would have brought in at some point for their jobs. there will only be cameras if they would have brought in cameras, and nothing looks disturbed by anyone outside of the team. ]
Okay. Fair. I admit, it is kinda weird that I can't get my wings to work... [ she carefully turns an emp over in her hands, considering it with a tilt of her head. ] Something tells me we've gotta get to this thing first, before anyone else. Call it intuition. Sometimes, you gotta flow with the current to get where you wanna go. If we want outta here, maybe... the treasure's the answer.
[ since hung is investigating something though, she'll swan over ] What're you thinking, big guy?
I think we're all in the same boat. I've got the feeling, too, and besides us obviously having no idea where the hell we are... I also feel like I know where the hell we are?
[ he looks at jolyne, then at the both of them. ]
There's nothing here that I can see that shouldn't be. So I think we should just go with the flow, like Jolyne said, and just - see what happens. Look for an opening to get out.
[ he pulls out the blueprints and unfolds them, smoothing the paper out. higher power running the show, do we have the Intuition of where the treasure might be? or an approximate idea? ]
[ yeah she'll take the emp, her body is a weapon. she'll go look at the map/blueprints and hum. ]
Having this is good at least, we can maybe take a stab at where we might wanna book it to grab the treasure first. One of the casinos has to have a vault if we're lookin' for literal treasure... Ooh, McQueen...?
[ me looking at this blueprint like "jesus christ, vegas" ]
The real question is where it would even be. Close to the casino itself makes sense...but it might also be too obvious. And they wouldn't mark it. Maybe one of the gray areas--like this one?
[ he points around the Wynn garage and theater area. ]
[ i hate this map so much why is vegas like this ]
Okay, so. [ he'll. find a pen? surely there is one in here? and go about marking the map. he puts an x where danny indicates, nodding at the good call, then considers the casinos thoughtfully. ] The grey areas could be vaults, or security, or private rooms... and then the casino...
For this one - [ he indicates the encore ] - we could try the high limit areas? That's rich person territory, so a treasure could be there. For the other one... private gaming, maybe? It'd be nice if we could find a security room and get a look at where they have cameras.
anyways after taking a minute to dissociate in designer, jolyne is back to looking at the map properly. ]
The high limit areas wouldn't be a bad bet, and the areas by the garage could be a good idea tooβa vault might be subterranean if we end up needing to find something like that.
[ hums ] I wonder if the treasure could also be right on someone, hiding in plain sight.
A security room would be a great start--they must have cameras on wherever the treasure is, and even if they don't, it would give us a good bird's eye view of anything other teams might be trying.
If it's actually on someone though, this all gets a whole lot trickier. I think we start looking for vaults or security rooms first, assume that it's stationary. And then if that fails...we can consider other options.
[ he'll mark the mentioned places, and look at the time. ray how we doin. ]
I guess the question is, how do we want to do this? I'm kind of hesitant on any of us going somewhere solo, if we don't have our phones, or any walkies or something... [ :nyeh: ] If it winds up we run into trouble, or we need to coordinate if it's on someone, it gets more than just a whole lot trickier.
But we can pick a place to start, and go from there.
Well, the longer we can go without making anything look off, the better. So we can just enter like regular customers and see what actually corresponds to the gray areas or see if there's anywhere that has more security stationed around it than usual.
