Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ignatius looked up from his new box in disbelief to find that Arrakis got his box unlocked and ...

Made it over to the scale which ...

Told him he was done ...

"Hey!" Ignatius was beat? By a snot? In unlocking boxes? Okay, to be fair, he seemed to be absolutely terrible at unlocking these things but -- hey, he was the hob here, he clearly should have been excellent at this crazy assignment, whatever it was. He gave a bit of a pout, pushing his lip out in an attempt to make Arrakis feel bad for winning, or something.

Not that they were competing.

It didn't last long though, because Ignatius would not let himself not unlock all these boxes for long. He went back to work, taking out one of his tools and jabbing into the box's lock.

Unfortunately, he was really, really bad with lockpicking.

Okay, he would get it this time. Ignatius refused to be sitting there, failing again! The tool was haphazardly shoved towards the lock as Ignatius attempted to figure out how to actually do this, considering he was so bad.

Miracle of all miracles, Ignatius' haphazard attempts actually worked. The lock came open, revealing an oddly heavy diamond. It was so bizarrely heavy that there was no way it could have been real, right? With a shrug, he walked over and put it on the scale.

Amazingly, what he took out weighed significantly more than he needed. He swirled around and pointed it out to his enemy friend and declared, "Ha! See, I took longer but I got more treasure than you!"

Ignatius was mostly just trying to justify the fact that he sucked at lockpicking.
