🧙 WHO: Emerald Sustrai & Rei Amayado
⚔️ WHAT: A pickpocket and a con artist walk into a real estate open house
🕒 WHEN: Early afternoon
🗺️ WHERE: Some random real estate offering in Camelot City
⚠️ WARNINGS: They sketchy, but probably nothing notable. Will update if that changes.
[ Emerald hadn't actually had to resort to pickpocketing to make a living in a long while. After Cinder had taken her in, her only pocketing happened for fun, to keep her skills sharp, to make sure she still could in case things went wrong and she had to go back to it. She hadn't expected to end up somewhere that the skills she'd kept sharp would be rendered completely useless by lack of access to her semblance. Learning to do it without getting into peoples' heads and causing hallucinations was a challenge.
At least now that she didn't look like a filthy, starving street rat. Now that she's back in a situation where she has to take care of herself (inconveniently still without any schooling or skills beyond how to lie, spy, kill, and survive) she could get into places where the people who could afford nice jewelry and clean buildings hang out. There are a dozen or so people in here to look at the building- too many witnesses than she's normally risk doing this in front of. But this magic this place gave her is different, so Emerald's pretty sure she can get away with it. She screwed up a little during the winter solstice because she didn't know what she was doing, but she's figured this out since then.
She smiles at one of the rich-looking gentlemen who's asking her a question. She reaches out to shake his hand in greeting. He smiles back at her, shaking her hand. Light fingers aren't something this world could take, so she manages to get his very expensive-looking watch right off of his risk without him realizing a thing, right in front of him. An illusion makes it seem to him like his watch is still visibly on his wrist after she lets go and she chats with him for a moment, slipping the watch into her back pocket while he's still interested in chatting with her.
Once he's gone, she drops the illusion and turns around, slipping it out of her pocket to stuff it up her shirt underneath her bra- if he realizes it's still gone, no one's going to check there, but the pocket might be obvious-- and nearly bumps right into Rei when she does. She's definitely not used to this kind of magic, her focus is totally off. At this point she can only hope he didn't see anything and pretend like nothing happened. ]
Hi. Nice building. I really like the... ceiling panels.
