The Introduction Harley and Pogo were simply minding their own business, doing their own things in their separate lives. No where near each other.
Somehow, some way, this crazy orb that looks suspiciously like a giant bubble floats on over to you. No matter how you try to avoid it, no matter what you do to stay away (this is if you even try to stay away), it persistently follows you! One way or another, whether it was your doing or the bubble's doing, it pops on you!
Suddenly, you're somewhere else! Is it a dream? Hum, maybe. Hey, who is that other person there with you? Wait a minute...where the heck are you?!The Scenario For some reason, you're in the rafters of a bank. There are about four tellers, but nobody else in the space below. Before long, all the lights below you go out! The only thing you can see in the Bank below are the four tellers, but everything else is pitch black! The four doors open, and it sounds like there are four robbers entering the building, about to make their way to the tellers!
You have to stop them!
Nearby, you spot what seems like a very close knit grid of hanging light fixtures from the beams you seem to be sitting on, and beside each of you is a knife that looks about sharp enough to cut the ropes of the lights.
Some reason or another, and you and your partner figure out that you can't get down; the lights wont' turn on until the robbers are defeated! The only thing you can do is to cut the lights from the rafters, and hope they fall on a robber to catch them, or have one fall close enough to a robber so that they flee.Rules and Dice Rolls Rules
---> Roll 1 20-sided dice with every post where you try to cut a light from the rafters to stop the robbers.
---> Once all four robbers have either been trapped by a light fixture or fled, the cops appear to detain them and RP ends with you and your partner as a hero! They'll 'wake up' in the place they were before the bubble popped on them.
---> This is a dream, but they will remember it clearly, just like they had met for real!
Dice Rolls
Remember, this is 1 20-sided dice!
1: Oops, you almost fell off the beam! Miss a dice-rolling turn to recover.
2-14: Missed! Try another fixture.
15-19: Well, you missed the robber, but it got so close they fled the scene!
20: The light fixture falls, trapping a robber!
Tools at your disposal ---> One Knife
---> A Myriad of hanging light fixtures below you.

It'd been naptime for Pogo, comfortably stretched out in her bed and starting to drift off. Out of the corner of her drooping eyes, however, she saw a bubble floating towards her. "Oh, hello again." she mumbled idly, waving to it before reaching out to catch it, causing the item to pop all over her. After all, it'd been sort of fun last time, right?
Now she was in the rafters of a bank....and apparently had a knife. Well that was odd.

Harley didn't really remember falling asleep,but then again when did he ever? Imagine his surprise, then, when amidst his wanderings among the over-sized garden vegetables there appeared a...
...well, he wasn't sure what it was, but it wouldn't leave him alone! It wasn't so much frightening as it was annoying, and a game of chase began that ended only in the bubble impaling itself on the scale of an avocado.
It was odd, how dreams made sense when they really made no sense at all. He dangled his feet down from the rafters and watched the robbers enter.
"Hey!"
But there was no response. When the lights went out, he looked about him only to see a rather eclectic little girl there among the rafters with him.
"...hey."

"Hi there." Pogo greeted, staring down at the darkened building. "Do you know what's going on?" Maybe it was the serious feel of this whole endeavor that had Pogo calmed down - or maybe it was just because she had a knife and Mommy always said to be careful and serious when using knives.

Again, Harley was gifted with the sense dreams sometimes had of just what he had to do and why.
"We gotta catch 'em," he nodded, looking down to the knife beside him before carefully picking it up. There were plenty of knives in his house, and rather than tell him to simply not touch them, Dad had taught him how to use them...well, to some extent. Safely.
"Like with the chadeleiieirrirer, yenno?!" he yelped, suddenly excited. One ear turned forward, and the other folded back and down to listen below the pair.

"Ummm what's a chandelier?" Pogo asked, blinking at him strangely. She'd never heard of one of those. Carefully, she held her knife and tried to scoot closer towards the light fixtures. The girl had no idea what a chandelier was, but there were funny hanging lights here. They could fall on robbers right?
"We cut these?" she asked, pointing to the wires holding up the fixtures.

Harley rolled his eyes. He opened his mouth to make a smart remark about how chandeliers always fell on the bad people in the movies, but was interrupted by the girl's question. He nodded.
"Yeah."
He tried once just to demonstrate.

With a shrug, Pogo reached out to hold the wire and cut under it. This would result in her slicing her hand off if she wasn't careful, but this is Pogo and her hands came off all the time so her brain didn't go there right away anyway.

The light fell, but sadly Pogo missed. "Woops." she commented, before scooting along the beam a bit more towards another one.
((deeg is a derpderp and forgot to roll))

Harley huffed when the sound of crashing was accompanied by no screams.
...man, how morbid was that?
He laughed to himself and scooted up three and left one, slashing that rope as well.

Pogo tried the next light and missed even worse than the last one. "Can we aim these?" she asked, trying to pinch the next wire a bit so it turned.

Harley sighed and shook his head, leaning over the railing to try and swing the light fixture. It was, as dream logic demanded, unusually heavy and immovable.
"I don't think so."
He sliced the cord in anger.

"Oh. Are you sure?" she asked, leaning back to try and pull the cord a bit and angle it before she sliced. His had hit, right? So maybe her's would!

Harley thrust a fist into the air in triumph.
"YES!" he yelped, for some reason expecting his voice to have no effect on the situation. He rolled his eyes then and scampered further across the beam to try another cord.
"Yes, I'm sure," he replied, rolling his eyes. Stupid girls.

Pogo stuck her tongue out at him and tried to aim the next fixture. She cut it right this time and it landed right near one robber, causing him to run in pure terror.
