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.]

But... >:

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

... [That last statement was not approved]

But nothing. >| You're a Princess. It inevitable.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He just snorted in response to the others silence.] "...You'll probably see soon enough."

"... this island isn't quite the paradise it appears. Just a friendly warning, kid."

But I didn't do anything D:

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

[Man, was there ever any luck for me?]

... It's probably no different than before. [Heck, this might be somewhat of an improvement especially when I know the tinydragon isn't always a tinydragon]

Guilty by association.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[He quirked a brow at that, not quite sure what you meant. . .But it's not like it was any of his business anyways. So he's just going to light up a cigarette and move along.]

" . . . The person who came here with you. You would know where he is, wouldn't you?"

[ . . Back to this subject again. He wanted his money.]

Buuuut >:

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

Of course.

Are you going to let me borrow some clothe or not?

No buts. >| Also. You're being threatened by a feline.

[smokin-bomb-59.livejournal.com]

[THere was suddenly a flaming cat perched on Gokudera's shoulder, gazing at you in what almost seemed a threatening manner.]

". . . You take me to your friend and I'll see about giving you some clothes after that."

[. . Not that he wants to see a naked Frau, but he already suspects that whenever they find this kid's friend. . .Well. He probably won't be naked.]

.... Dera ttly wants to see a nekkid Frau, I know it

[twice-promised.livejournal.com]

[... Where did that cat come from]

.. Very well. [My impending doom senses are going off]
