~*Stealing Opportunities Part 2*~ A sharp knock at the door was quickly answered by a rather flustered and relieved Shadai, a look that quickly changed upon seeing the handcuffs around her son’s wrists and the pissed off look on his face. “You found him! Thank the heavens, but what is with the handcuffs?” she questioned, glancing between the two curiously. She highly doubted they just found him wandering the streets or sitting on the porch of someone’s house. “We found him at the Durem Gift Extravaganza disabling the alarm system. When we realized he was a minor and had run away from home, we brought him here instead of the station. We’re leaving him in... Your care with a warning to stay out of trouble as no harm had been truly done,” the officer explained, ignoring the dark looks and growled curses that emanated from Cody. As the handcuffs were unlocked, a pale white hand shot through the door opening and gripped Cody’s free wrists. The officer barely noticed her nails slowly lengthening and gaining the appearance of serrated claws instead of fingernails. “Thank you officer, we’ll make sure he stays out of trouble. Come on Cody,” Ary said as calmly as she could, growling the last bit and giving the spawn the darkest look she could muster. It wasn’t hard to tell the look from her frightened him more than the one his actual mother gave him as the blood suddenly drained from his face. His skin practically glowed in the dark it was so white. Good, he knew who the real one to fear at the moment was. “Alright... Well, I hope you have a nice night. Good bye,” the officer said, speaking slowly as his eyes roamed over the unusual group. Kids these days were just getting weirder and weirder by the minute. Once the officer left and the door closed, Ary threw Cody harshly into the couch. The pre-teen fell against it with a soft thud, just barely able to remain sitting. Gah, he was going to have a nice bruise in the shape of Ary’s hand that was for sure. She certainly had the death grip thing down insanely well. “I hope you’re happy. You are in so much trouble; you will wish you had gone to jail instead. Aenira, Azrael, tell Cody goodnight and go to your rooms,” Arytiss growled, voice colder than ice and her body rigid with fury. If there hadn’t been little kids around, she wasn’t sure she would have spoken so nicely once the door had been shut and the officer gone. “NO! NO HURT ‘IM! No hurt ‘im, mommy!” Aenira cried, sniffling loudly and looking severely upset by how things were going. Course, with her latched onto the pink-haired spawn it didn’t look like she would be going anywhere anytime soon. “We’re not going to hurt him, ‘Nira dear. We just need to have a little chat with him,” Ary assured, crouching down to try and pry the little girl off of Cody’s leg. It took several more minutes of talking and struggling to get her to let go and be carried off to her room. In the silence that followed, Shadai merely gave Cody a saddened and disappointed look. Cody, in turn, just stared at his shoes with most of his face hidden by his hair and feathers. Neither one moved or spoke as the white-haired female put Aenira down for bed. Both knew what was to come, and both knew how unpleasant it would be. “Azrael, go to bed. Do not think I don’t see you,” Shadai finally spoke, but directed her attention to the partially open closet where twin orange eyes stared out. She watched as the scowling toddler emerged, looking irritable as his hiding spot was revealed. He glanced between the two and the stairs, as if wondering whether or not to disobey the Egyptian and possibly get himself into trouble. “Azrael, please, just go. This does not concern you.” “Cody’s my brother and I’m not leavin’,” Azrael replied, crossing his arms across his chest. There was NO WAY he was going to let Cody be yelled at for running out of the house. It was just unfair! Not to mention that Ary was looking pretty scary and he probably needed all the support he could get. Besides, he wasn’t that much younger than him, both in years and growths so he should be able to stay up... right? He froze as blue-green eyes locked with his, their depths blank of emotion except of self loathing. “Azrael, just go. No use,” Cody said quietly, sounding as if he was on death row. Azrael just watched him for a few more moments before turning and slowly making his way up the stairs. As he walked, Ary passed him by on her way back down. Both adults waited till they heard the soft click of Azrael’s door shutting before turning their gazes to the spawn on the couch. Cody just sighed as the yelling began, wondering why he had stooped so low as to try and rob another store. It seemed so... unlike him to do such a thing. Well, he had committed a crime so he supposed he ought to receive his punishment, both the yelling and grounding, with some form of his dignity left intact. ((Words = 886))

+Cody's Journal+
Dear ******** HELL! Just for running out of the goddamned house and TRYING to steal something, I'm grounded to my room for a ******** WEEK! This makes me so mad, I could kick a hole in the wall or... or something!
((In this massive space, there's various doodles of things being destroyed and a very detailed image of a security keypad with several numbers punched in and glowing in the space above.))
That shop did have some cool stuff... You know, I might just try again. This time, I'll make sure no one will notice me. I know the code, no one will know I left and that stupid alarm won't reveal my presence! Just to be safe, maybe I'll bribe Azzie with some cookies to get some help, yanno? Can't be too cautious when dealing with this kind of stuff.
Hope this works.
Cody, the King of Thieves
((On the back, detailed diagrams of the shop and various other things are drawn out as well as a plan to probably steal as much as possible without getting caught. In the corner, Operation STEAL is written out...))

~*Operation S.T.E.A.L.*~
Silently Taking Everything And Leaving It was close to 5:30 pm when Cody, who was supposed to be grounded to his room for another few days yet, emerged from his room and silently moved into Azrael’s neighboring one. The orange-haired pumpkin demon sat waiting on his bed with an empty box of cookies on one side and a crude Jack-o-Lantern on the other. I’ve given you the cookies, I want my wish. And it better work this time,” Cody quietly demanded, not moving from the doorway. His blue-green eyes stared coldly at the little demon as he appraised him. His brother was indeed the little business man, knowing exactly how to get the most out of giving his services. Cody was just glad it was only cookies he wanted and not money or something. He’d be broke within a week if his brother did. “Mm... Yes, but I cannot say it will. You know how un... Unpre... I can’ control it that well,” Azrael calmly replied, struggling a bit with the wording. A smug smile slowly crept onto his face as his usual notepad and orange pumpkin pen were slowly taken out. Writing on a specific page for a few moments, the paper was torn off and placed inside the squash. They had discussed the terms earlier and written out most of the wish via the little hole in the closet that Cody had created when he violently kicked it. The small hole had been useful while the two were grounded to their rooms for various reasons. Both watched the pumpkin as it burst into life, light flowing out in graceful ribbons before dimming to something similar to candlelight. Yet both knew there was no such thing inside and seemingly no light source. Cody watched the pumpkin warily, waiting for it to go out. His “wish” had been simple; for him to sneak and steal so quietly that no one heard him and thus he wouldn’t get caught as easily. If the “wish” had been too large, the light would have gone out or not lit up at all. Both had noticed that if the results might not appear, it would flicker and, well, black or red light meant more of a curse than anything else. Basically, bad luck instead of good luck and many times more likely to occur than not. By some sort of miracle, the light remained true and stable. A sigh of relief escaped from the older boy before he glanced at the clock. Already it was fifteen minutes later with the light outside almost gone; time to go and gather up some stuff while waiting for 7:30 to roll by. The reasoning behind this was for the darkness to fully settle and everyone to in the shop to head home. Bidding Azrael goodnight, he slipped back into his room and waited, watching the alarm clock by his bed intensely. Time seemed to speed by, taking only a few seconds to pass through two hours. Footsteps going past his room and down the stairs, then down more stairs again to the basement meant that Ary had finally left his room and the girls were going to watch a movie. A soft knock on his door in the secret code he and Azrael had discussed meant it was safe to leave. The boy had told him about everyone’s plan on watching a movie and had agreed it would be the perfect time to sneak out. The plan had been for him to quietly open his window, climb out onto the slight piece of roof outside his window and jump, gliding silently to the ground below. From there, he’d half run and half fly back to town while sticking with the shadows and steal from the shop. Or he could slip and fall ten feet into a snow drift. Just his luck too that the damned wish wouldn’t change whether or not he wouldn’t trip or fall, just that he was quieter and stealthier. Cody sighed and stood, brushing the snow off his clothes and out of his hair, making sure he stayed well out of sight of the windows. Sneaking around the side of the house, the boy was already feeling a surge of adrenaline course through him and making him a little jitterier. It took him seemingly no time at all to run into town and locate the shop from before. The keypad numbers had been stamped into his memory, as well as the location of the back door. Moving around to the back, he made quick work of the lock and soon found himself inside and pressing the numbers to turn off the alarm. With that out of the way and only the lights at the front on, a wicked grin spread across his face. “Perfect.” Of course, even with everything laid out so perfectly, he had forgotten to include the fact that there were policemen on patrol outside the shop. And here he was almost a half hour later, having handcuffs slapped onto his wrists. Wait, didn’t his mom say she would kill him if he tried stealing again? Cody’s eyes widened suddenly as he was thrown into the backseat of the police car. “Son, how old are you?” a deep voice asked and Cody turned, flinching away from the bright light. “I... I... I don’t know! Where am I? How did I get here? What’s going on?!” he gasped, sounding terrified. The officer just sighed and shook his head. Kid was probably trying to pull some sort of trick on him or something. Well, it would be useless to try and get information out of him now. As they pulled away from the store, Cody panicked even more, huddling into a little ball. What did he do to deserve this?! ((Supposed to be posted several days after the Stealing Opportunities and journal stuff. I was lazy. D: )) ((Words = 957))

~+Cody's Journal+~
Dear Journal,
Oh by the god or gods above, yesterday... I... Ok, I’ll start at the beginning. First, I haven’t ANY idea what’s been going on the past few weeks. I don’t know why, but I’ve figured out a few things. One, I ran out of the house and attempted to rob a store. While being grounded for a week, I created this elaborate plan to rob the same store AGAIN and almost succeeded and ended up in jail for the night.
Then... Edes... ((The next few lines are full of hearts and random doodles of Edes and himself...))
To make things short, we’re dating. I... I sort of accidentally called him instead of my mom when they took me to jail, but I was scared! I hadn’t any idea why they were questioning me and how I managed to get there and... I don’t know. But we cuddled and he stayed with me at the jail the entire night! ((Even more doodles of hearts...))
I know I shouldn’t be happy, but for some reason I’m GLAD I did whatever they said I did. Otherwise, I’m sure I would never have had a similar night with him. I’m just glad he’s MINE and not his. That horrible little brat that keeps trying to steal my Edes away! Ooh, it makes me furious just THINKING about him!
BUT HA! EDES IS MINE YOU FOOL! ALL MINE!!
((Even MORE doodles of various modes of destruction fill the rest of the paper as well as random hearts with Cody and Edes together... Rather cute and scary at the same time really.))
Oh, I suppose I’d better finish this before I get distracted or throw it away and mom yells even more. A whole month of house arrest then another two weeks of major chores is more than enough. Better lay low till things blow over.
Heh, I sound like a secret agent. Secret Agent Cody... Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
Cody

~*Shadai's Journal*~
Dear Journal,
Well, I'm officially grounding Cody to oblivion. I never expected my sweet little boy would go so far as to rob a store when he was already grounded and then get sent to jail for the night. We have a court hearing in a few weeks... not entirely pleased about that.
Although, one good thing has come from all of this. Edes joined him in the jail cell for the night and it was just so adorable. Since then, Cody's been far more pleasant around us. Either he's trying to get on my good side and reduce his punishment, or prevent more being added on, or he's behaving for Edes as he's usually around the house when Cody's allowed downstairs.
Though, just because he's released from his room doesn't mean much. I make sure he regrets what he's done by putting him to work and my gosh, the house has never been so clean and organized before! Even the fridge-well, I won't go there. Ary has her own now so things should be good for a while.
Aenira grew a bit as well and things have gotten even more hectic. I'm still wondering when Azrael will grow too... He's not the most social of children, and that's-((a massive, jerky pen line to the edge of the paper cuts off whatever would have been said))
Aenira's trying to fly around the house again... Ugh. Moving on, I've asked for Ary to teach Cody a melee class, since he's required one and I don't want him leaving the house unsupervised unless need be.
I'll write again soon.
Shadai

~Melee Class with Ary~ “Again, this time stop TRYING to hit me and do it!” Ary snapped, glaring down at the pink haired boy on the ground who was, once again, groaning in pain. They had been only sparring for about fifteen minutes and already she was beginning to see that it wasn’t going to work out. Instead of a class for Cody, it was looking more like a session where she had full permission to beat the holy hell out of him. Something had to be changed if the boy was going to actually DO anything. He needed motivation... “Break... Please?” Cody whimpered, flinching as the white-haired female moved closer. He sighed with relief as she didn’t deliver some sort of kick or other potentially bruising attack. Instead, she picked him up off the lightly padded floor and dumped him onto the couch, throwing a water bottle at him in disgust. But what did he care? He was free at last! At least, for a little while anyways. Ary just rolled her eyes, leaning against the wall while Cody rested and nursed his water bottle as if it could wash away his pain. Yeah, she really had to switch battle tactics here just so he had some sort of chance of actually beating her. “Stay here, I want to try something else. Move and I break your fingers,” she growled, walking up the stairs a moment later and up to her room to grab a specific object that she had managed to take BACK from the spawn after the whole jailing incident. Cody sensed the item before Ary even appeared. He recognized the powerful icy aura, the scent of ice, and the raw power it possessed as it slipped down the stairs like a blizzard in the middle of the night. Silent, dark, and powerful, bringing about an icy death as it swept across the world. Or in this case, down the stairs from Ary’s room. He watched the pure white scale, unable to look away from the frosty beauty it contained. Cody still wondered what it had come from, but neither he nor Aenira could get her to speak of its origins. Despite all the strange thoughts storming his young mind, Cody still noticed how Ary’s skin seemed to tremble, appearing more and more like a giant claw covered in snowy scales that were exact replicas of the one in her hand. Strange... “Seeing as you could never beat me in a physical fight, I want you to steal this from me. If you do, you can keep it,” Ary explained, setting the scale on the nearby table. Cody couldn’t resist such temptation for long. The real question she was pondering was how long she could keep up her disguise with the scale eating away at it... Cody slowly stood up, his hand still held tightly to the water bottle he had been drinking from only moments before. Slowly, his eyes examined the little test of sorts in front of him. Ary was fast, he had to admit. She was almost as fast as him on a good day, but with him somewhat tired and her completely alert to any and all movement he made there was no way he could solely rely on speed alone. So, with his opponent faster, stronger, and fully alert he’d have to rely on distractions and such... Ary watched Cody closely, tensed and ready to move at the drop of a pin. Knowing the spawn well enough, she figured he’d try something to distract her. Well, that wouldn’t work as that wasn’t the point of the lesson. The whole point of HER melee weapons was to know how to think on your feet, know how to use one’s surroundings to your benefit, know how to defend oneself, and know how to fight back if necessary. She knew Cody was a quick thinker and could evade punches rather well, but he was lacking with the other two options, for the most part anyways. Cody suddenly squirted his water bottle at Ary’s face, throwing the entire thing a moment later as he darted forward. To his utmost surprise, both the water and bottle dropped to the floor completely frozen and steaming slightly. In that instant he paused to stare, Ary’s knee collided with his stomach and was followed by a very violent kick that send him flying back into the couch. Blackness met him as his body smashed into the couch, unaware of much else other than the violent throbbing from where she had kicked him. What seemed like moments later, Cody suddenly sat up, face completely drenched in water. With a soft shriek, he went about wiping off the offending substance that was quickly soaking his precious feathers. “Oh get over it already, it’s just water,” Ary explained, standing over him with an empty cup and obviously the culprit of said rude awakening. Cody just glared at her, groaning and curling up as the dull ache from both the kneed and kicked areas reached his brain. “That... Ow... Unnecessary,” he grumbled, flinching a bit. It didn’t look like it, but he was fairly certain she could probably break him in half. Ouch... “Yeah, right, this is how I run my class. You go about in a path that I don’t like then I stop you. Unfortunately, you just happened to be going in said path. I don’t want some strange, complex plan involving you sneaking around and distracting me,” Ary replied coldly, in the same position she had been in before Cody had lunged. Cody merely stared at her, flinching every time he breathed. “How... How did you...?” he asked softly, gesturing to the blocks of ice on the ground that was originally his water-bottle and the water that had been within it. Ary vaguely glanced down and shrugged, as if deeming the matter highly unimportant. Cody just frowned, suddenly rather curious about her. She definitely didn’t act like any OTHER human person and not to mention she didn’t exactly look normal. Not that Shadai was any closer to normal, but when he looked in books and ancient pictures he found that she looked quite normal within her home. “Come on; steal the scale if you can. I’m sure it’s worth ten times its weight in gold and then some if you find the right buyer. Not to mention a whole lot of trouble, but hey, that’s your problem not mine.” Cody just sighed and stood up again, trying to think of a new strategy. Maybe he could just tackle her or something... Ary blinked as Cody charged, tackling her like a football player would. Mind you, she DID fall, but didn’t remain helpless for long. A flurry of flailing limbs and cries of pain later, Cody ended up on his stomach with Ary sitting on top of him and holding his arms back. “Nice strategy. Too bad it didn’t work like you had hoped. Try again,” Ary said, releasing him back towards the couch. It took Cody practically a half hour of trial and error to finally realize the female wanted a sort of fist fight than a strategy. Of course, once he realized this he practically threw himself at her, punching and weaving almost like a pro and leaving Ary to try and protect herself against his somewhat weak, yet strategic fighting style. Cody pulled back for a moment before charging forward in a flurry of jabs, trying to take down the far more skilled fighter. For some reason, at some point during the fight his fist collided with her upper ribs and in one attack managed to drop her to the ground. “Nice... aim... Class dismissed so grab your scale and go. I’m fine,” Ary grumbled, giving Cody a dark look that clearly meant not to mess with her or question anything she had said. Thankfully, he got the message and grabbed the icy scale, leaving a moment later. God, next time she got into a fight and broke something she was going to only teach kids that didn’t seem like fighters or invest in a better splint. Augh...

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:
Letter Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following: Guardians Name: Child's Name: Sin: Virtue: Gender: Current Attitude: Likes: Dislikes: Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars ) Current hair style: Current clothing preferences: Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue) Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them? As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs. Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc. Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up. Thank you.
You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.
(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)

~*Sneaking Out and Taking Over*~ Cody groaned and nearly fell out of his bed as he rolled over. His body ached slightly, like he had been stretched and bashed in the head. Oh, right... Duh. That explained why his head hurt and stuff, but not why... Standing and moving somewhat awkwardly to where his mirror was, he stared in shock at what it, and about two dozen others, showed him. He was a little taller, loads bulker and damn he looked hot. "Thank god I'm prepared this time," he muttered darkly, throwing some clothes on and peering at the time. Twelve noon flashed on the screen and judging by the amount of sunlight streaming through the blinds on his windows, it didn't seem far off. Glancing out the door, lock-picking tools in hand, the greed spawn slipped out of his room and over to the stairs. Talk greeted him from the kitchen and was just loud enough for him to pick out their voiced and the general idea of their conversation. Which was, obviously, about him. Great. "I'm worried. He has yet to awaken and the sun is already above us." That had to be his mom. No one else talked like her, or had that unique accent of hers. "He's a teen; he eats a lot, sleeps a lot, and is grumpy. Give him a couple months and he'll be fine," Ary grumbled, obviously detesting the conversation topic. "Maybe I should wake him-" "Mooooooom! 'Nira won't leave me alone!" Ah, Azrael, his orange haired brother they found wandering around on Halloween. Still hadn't grown yet, which he found rather pathetic for a little pumpkin demon of the night. And by how prideful he was, Cody had thought the kid would actually stay one growth ahead. "NU-UH! HE STOLE MY MIRROR!" Aenira shouted, the sounds of angry thunder echoing through the house. Ah, the only one that could control weather and was about as vain as vain could be. "I did-CO-dy?" Azrael shouted, stopping and staring as he saw his now much older brother leaning over the stairs and watching them. Time to make a quick getaway, he thought, leaping over the railing and taking off through the front door before Shadai could get anything more than a glimpse of him. Her shouts followed him as he ran to the city, hiding whenever cars went by. "Hell like I'm getting caught again. Last thing I need is mother dragging me back home," he muttered darkly, slipping into the alleyway his "friends" usually lurked in. No matter the day or time, someone was usually there. "Yo, look who's back, the little thief from yester-day?!" Cody pinned him against the wall, feeling powerful at his new increase in strength. "I'm takin' over this Popsicle stand and giving you pansies some REAL jobs. Tomorrow, we're raiding the Quik shoppe and if anyone opposes me, well, I'll let you think of something. Get it? Got it? Good. Now let's get planning," he growled, dropping the guy to the ground after getting a nod. Damn, it felt good to have this much power and this much support for possible raids. He kinda liked this feel of absolute power...

Melee Class ‘Why the hell does she want me to take a class with her at the facility? Could have fought in the backyard or something and not... this place. Damn it, she probably wants to kill me or something,’ Cody thought as he stalked through the hallways, snarling at anyone that dared look at him. It wasn’t hard to see that he was in a terrible mood sparked by the very feel of the building. It was cold, creepy, and had a funny smell to it. As Cody opened the door, a blast of icy-cold wind hit him full on like a tidal wave. He blinked once before growling lowly, glaring angrily at Ary who was obviously the cause. “God ******** damn it! What was that for?!” he snapped, slamming the door as he walked in. Anyone who didn’t know of the various traits each sin and virtue had, one might suspect he was of wrath and not greed. “Shut your damned face up, will ya? I’m sorry my room is a little chilly for your lazy a**. You’re apparently required to take a class, and a class you’re going to get whether you like it or not. Now grab that damned stick and quit glaring at me. You look absolutely ridiculous and all it’s going to get you is my fist in your face. Got it?” Ary snapped right back, looking just as thrilled about the whole class thing as Cody was. Rolling his eyes, the spawn picked up the wooden stick by his feet. The surface gleamed with a thin layer of frost over polished black wood. The ends were rounded and coated in silver plating or, knowing Ary, was probably solid silver. Yet in his anger and frustration, the spawn couldn’t tell whether it was cheap plastic or actual metal. He watched warily as Ary spun her far larger and more elaborate wooden spear, waiting. Just, waiting. She would come to him before he would, thus making the first move. Generally, it didn’t matter who swung first in their little mock battles. It did, however, matter who swung last. Usually, that was Ary. After a few moments of staring the other down and slowly edging around in a circle, Ary struck. She moved fast, faster than the spawn had ever seen the teacher move before. That wasn’t what scared him the most, however. No, it was the fire that glared out from her usually icy eyes. Never had the boy seen such hatred directed at anyone or anything and was suddenly wondering if coming to the class was a good idea, even if her desire for vengeance wasn’t aimed at him. A loud crack filled the icy quiet of the room as wood met wood violently. The spears didn’t break, nor did Ary stick around for a return blow as she backed off for a moment before rearing back to strike again. ‘s**t.’ ~~~~ THUD! Cody panted heavily as he stared at Ary who rested against the wall. He hadn’t a clue how he had managed to do it, but the teacher looked to be out-cold. “Woah... Strange... Guess class is over...” he muttered under his breath, rising unsteadily to his feet and turning for the door. Crack... The blood drained from his face. Slowly, Cody turned to see Ary slowly rising to her feet, arm wrapped around her middle. “Are you-?” “Shut the ******** up.” “I ju-“ “Get out.” “Ary?” “Get the hell out.” “You don-“ “I said get the damned hell out of my ******** room,” Ary said, voice deathly quiet. Cody didn’t need to be told twice as he backed up and out the door. He didn’t need to be a scientist to know what he saw and be curious of it. Maybe... Maybe Ary-Nah, that was silly. Ary couldn’t have been the donor of the object in his pocket... Could she? There was no mistaking what was coating her hand and bits of her face instead of the usual flesh. Not to mention that it raised all sorts of questions he really didn’t want to think about. But... There was no mistaking those pure white scales that glittered just like freshly fallen snow. Maybe he could ask her-Wait, what was he thinking?! He was the King of Thieves! Why the hell should he care about someone he hated? With a snort, the greed spawn left the facility as well as any thought of what had occurred within it. Far more pressing matters required his attention.

~+Cody's Journal+~
Log;
Last spree was a success, as was the turnout for selling. These people eat this stuff up like my brother does cookies. However, the gang is becoming... restless. Quick Shoppes and small-time stores seem to be beneath them now and not giving them the thrill they did earlier. Or perhaps they expect more from an expert thief like me and after our success so far, I don’t blame them and why I’m going to change that. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
This time we’re going big. That fancy Gift Shoppe up the street from old man Lenny’s place is perfect for what I have planned. Not to mention security is pretty lax compared to some of the other places around it. Hopefully those idiots don’t screw things up and get out asses through into jail. Shadai has already made it quite clear what will happen if I ended up there again...
Either way, this has to go perfectly if I still want my bed and horde intact, as well as my place to crash. Hell if I’m living on the streets like some sort of ******** hobo.
((Below is complex and very detailed plans taped in with various security measures sketched out as well as ways to bypass them. In the corner the passkey to the security locks and cash register are written out in careful print.))
