Bladecrest

[Shura]

Iris tilted her head slightly "I see..." She muttered looking over the intricate designs, she had almost guessed they were naturally occurring like the dark stripes which adorned her skin or a side effect of magic like she'd seem some mages have. But as a rite of passage? One had to be very strong to endure that much ink being stained into their skin. It was very interesting and said a good bit about him. She sat up as well figuring there wasn't much point in staying in bed. She looked over as he commented on the lavender and smirked slightly. "Ah, yeah it's one of the reasons why I use it.?"

 

[Gobbo]

Elias smiled a bit, moving over to change into his normal clothes. Once again, he didn't try to hide or cover himself as he changed. "I was able to get some information on the bracelets." he said, pulling his shirt on. He tugged a few bits of paper out from his pouches, laying them on the table for her to look at when she was ready.


"I found out the items are being held in a vault, at least until after the festival when they'll be put out for display. It would be easier to take them when they're in the vault."

 

[Shura]

Iris looked off as he started to get dressed moving to gather up some clothes to change into as well. She shuffled over behind a privacy screen and got dressed exchanging the loose linen shirt and shorts for a more snug fit tunic and long leggings she tied a black sash around her waist which she could use as a scarf should need arise before pulling her hair back into a pony tail. "Sounds reasonable enough... how difficult would it be to get into the vault though?" She questioned stepping out from behind the screen and going over to the table to look at the papers.

 

[Gobbo]

Elias thought for a few moments, looking over the plans. "It's going to be extremely difficult. Though, with the festival going on, the place should be empty. Failing that, I have ways of knocking out any guards." he explained.


"I've gotten into places with heavier security than this, but cracking the safe is going to take time. Luckily, that's something we have plenty of."

 

[Shura]

Iris looked over the papers and maps of the place wondering how he got so much information in one night. Quite possibly the same way he had gotten information on her own home. She nodded slightly before looking over to the Thief tilting her head slightly at the mention of we. "Hm Your taking me with you?" She questioned with a an eyebrow slightly raised eyebrow. She expected him to say she was too much of a liability to take with him.

 

[Gobbo]

Tucking a bit of hair behind his ear he nodded, glancing over at her. "That's right. I need an extra set of hands with the safe, it has two sets of combinations." he explained, pointing out a crude drawing of the safe itself.


"It shouldn't be difficult to crack, finding the right number combinations is going to take time, though."

 

[Shura]

Iris nodded with a slight smirk. "Alright... if anything I'll keep watch in case anyone comes around..." she suggested folding the parchment and handing it back to Silver.

 

[Gobbo]

Elias smiled a bit at that. "Alright." he stood up a bit and stretched his back, opening up the window. "It's the day before the first day of the festival. The festival is going to run for three days, I suggest we spend a couple of nights walking around and seeing the guard presence, then we it it the night of the fireworks."

 

[Shura]

Iris nodded going to grab her cloak which had thankfully dried and pulling it on. It irked her slightly that she had to be so hidden but knew it was needed

 

[Gobbo]

Eli pulled his cloak on as well. "We'll find some food stalls out there if you want something to eat." he pointed out with a little grin. He went over to his bag and pulled out a few things he might need, sliding them into pouches along his belt. "Ready to go when you are.

 

[Shura]

Iris made a mental note to try and find similar pouches as she tied her sash around her nose and mouth. "Ready." She grinned following the Thief out into the city streets. The night was still alive with activity and preparations.

 

[Gobbo]

Elias seemed to relax quite a bit when they were out in the cool night air, walking slowly next to her. People were starting to filter in from all over, so it was lucky they got their room when they did. They wound their way through the crowds, and though Elias seemed to not be paying attention to much other than the sights, he was making mental notes of the guard movements near the museum, and was marveling at how lax the security was. It was hard to believe that something so important could be there, yet he could catch sight of a few guards sharing a bottle of mead while on shift.

 

[Shura]

Iris was looking around at everything there was at the festival grounds she couldn't help but grin as she watched some stands and tents being set up. Some stalls were already selling food which only reminded her of her hunger. While Silver was busy studying something she slipped away to one of the stalls selling food and picked up a few scures of citruc steamed dumplings that had been stuffed with meat. She grinned pulling on off the stick and into her mouth as she approached the thief and offered on of the sticks out "It's good."

 

[Gobbo]

Elias was jotting something down in a small notebook when she came over, smiling a bit. "Thanks, it smells good." he said, taking the stick. He ate one of the dumplings and sighed happily. "I missed festival food. They always go out of their way to make sure it's amazing." he said with a small grin, finding a place for the two of them to sit and observe.

 

[Shura]

Iris nodded slightly "Mhmm, really good." She grinned as she took a seat on a bench eating another one of the dumplings. "Festivals are always fun." She muttered looking up at the sky. "We only had one festival back in Bladecrest which was for the winter."

 

[Gobbo]

Elias nodded and smirked a bit, taking a bite of another dumpling. "I know. Two years ago I made off with four paintings from the museum when everyone was distracted. That one netted me quite a bit of coin." he said with a small smile. He hadn't stuck around to find out, but apparently that heist had become infamous.

 

[Shura]

Iris blinked a few times staring at him for moment "Wait... that was you?!"

 

[Gobbo]

"Yeah, that was me. Lifted them under very careful watch. I only had a thirty second delay between the changing of the guards, so I had to be creative." he said with a smirk.

 

[Shura]

"Wow... that's... kind of amazing..." She muttered softly staring up at him in disbelief. "You became kind of a legend the town. And the reason why a lot of people hired a lot more guards."

 

[Gobbo]

"Well, they certainly went for quantity instead of quality, seeing how easy it was to get past them at your house." he said with a smirk. "If it wasn't for my mask, I wouldn't be able to walk anywhere. I've developed a bit of infamy pretty much everywhere."

 

[Shura]

Iris nodded slightly before going back to her small meal "Understandable, I might have to do the same at one point..." she muttered softly. "Hm You have to cover your eyes thought." She pointed out.

 

[Gobbo]

"So, you're thinking of sticking with a life of crime then." he said with a little grin. He had an idea for matching masks, but that seemed a little odd. Her idea for covering his eyes was a good one, luckily all the posters he saw of himself didn't focus on the eyes at all. Still, he'd have to look into a mask at the very least.

 

[Shura]

Iris ate the last of her fair food before nodding slightly. "I guess for a while at least. I don't have many marketable skills aside form carving. I don't want to settle down for a while. Not when there's a lot of this world to see." She smirked slightly.

 

[Gobbo]

Elias nodded, thinking. "Well, it's a good career to be in. You end up doing an awful lot of running around." he explained. It was odd how relaxed he was, but it was to just keep up appearances.


"Don't worry, you'll see a lot of the world. It almost makes the lonliness worth it."

 

[Shura]

"Hm, I guess..." She muttered softly brushing her hair out of her face before pulling her mask up. "I guess time will tell really..." she sighed looking up at the sky enjoying a cool gentle breeze.
