024 - [Thief in the Night]

[tsuntempesta]

[. . It had been there last night before he locked up. It was an outfit he'd just finished designing - and he'd felt quite proud of it too. There was quite the hefty price tag on it atop of that. And now it's was just. . . gone. He might have been a little pissed off at this - but he was more baffled by the fact that there were no clues left behind. Nothing. THere was also no way for the thief to have gotten in. No windows busted out, the door still firmly attached to it's frame. The windows and doors were both still locked like he'd left them.]

" . . How the hell. . ?!"

[Ohey, the clothing shop some people were talking about. Maybe someone here would be nice enough to let me borrow some--]

[oooooor, not]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He's going to glance over at you, frowning still.]

" . . Can I help you?"

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

[.. M-man, such tension] A-ah..

Please, we don't really have any money, but a friend of mine is in dire need of clothes. Would it be too much to borrow a pair? I promise we'll pay for it later..

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . .A friend of yours, hm? . . . I believe he might already have some clothes."

[. . .He's moving to shut the door behind you. He has his suspicions.]

" . . I had a visitor last night, it seems."

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

... 'last night?'

But we haven't even been here for that long.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . Possibly this morning then. I just now got into my store."

[Seems retarded someone would have done this in daylight though. . . How did some one not notice them?]

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

[.. Hey wait] So what, you're really implying it was one of us?

[Frau wouldn't be that stupid, would he?]

" . . What do you think, kid? It would have to be someone new who broke into here."

[. . Because anyone who has been here a while knows better than to fuck with the mafia. Except for that one stupid brat, but that outfit wouldn't have even fit him. So.]

I didn't do it! And there's no way he could have too.

[... Unnnnless you count that whole Ghost thing, but shush >>]

I did! See? I'm a good girl. ;_;

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . and why couldn't he have?"

[Gokudera snorts, placing a hand on his hip irritably.]

*petpet* good Mommy >:

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

.... Do you really think someone naked would walk into public and break in somewhere?

[Someone is possibly gonna owe me for this]

♥

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . . . "

[He's going to frown a little.]

" . . .It would depend on the person."

[. . .Some people probably would. But this question begged to be asked so. . .]

" . . Just why. . .was he wandering around naked to begin with?"

X3

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

He...

I don't know.

Other than he had nothing when we got here. [And apparently I wasn't traumatized and scarred for life enough yet]

" . . .I'm assuming it grabbed him either while he was changing or the the shower?" [He snorted.] ". . I wouldn't put it past the mermaids anyways."

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

... Does this happen often? [getting pulled in at bad times or just pulled in in general, really]

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

" . .Does what happen often? People getting pulled in naked? If that's what you mean, he's the first I've heard of. . . Who knows though really."

[The Storm Guardian offered a little shrug.]

.... is it possible I just avoided capture? XD

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

[Or, yanno, no one wants to admit to it] ... I see.

Why do these mermaids bring people here anyway?

... No. Keep dreaming Princess.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

"... When you find that out, let us know." [He was frowning softly as he said that.]

"...as far as I can tell, it's to see. How much they can mess with our minds." [ Totally not a bit of bitterness there.]

[Have a child walking by, a white owl perched on his head as the taps the floor and the walls of your shop with what looks like Mukuro's trident.]

Haithar.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He's going to watch you do this without a word for a few moments, before tilting his head to the side.]

" . . .What are you doing?"

kfufufuu~ Z(o^v^)o

[eclissarenebbia.livejournal.com]

Mm?

[Looks up at you with those sightless eyes before a very familiar polite smile curves his lips. He taps the trident on the ground again, and the owl hoots, ruffling its feather. Did you sense that touch in your mind?

Because on the ground where the trident stands may be the article of clothing you're looking for. Even if it's just an illusion.]

I am looking for someone, as you are looking for something.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[. . .He gets that feeling that those clothes probably are an illusion - given who you look like. Not to mention, he at least knows about you.]

". . .Who are you looking for?"

bossu~ ♥ kfuu~ :3

[eclissarenebbia.livejournal.com]

Mm. Boss~

[A chuckle escapes him as that garment fades away, ripped apart into shreds that form little owlets as his own howl hoots, stretching her wings as the little things circle them.

He sees no problem talking to you. He may... realize you are not Valente, but you feel like Valente, and you have Storm flame like Valente.]

♥♥

[He watched the clothing shift into the miniature owls, tilting his head to the side.]

" . .Primo? I haven't seen him around here." [He gave a small thoughtful sound.]

" . . .Normally at the bakery, isn't he?"

x3

[eclissarenebbia.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Not there.

[Smiling softly as the owlets then fall down to the ground and become licorice instead, growing by his feet.]
