Tom: Grinning Damn, you caught me, huh? Just a little fun, no biggie.
Why do you keep stealing things? I ask as I look at you
He shrugs nonchalantly It's just what I'm good at, y'know? Stealing stuff, pulling pranks, causing trouble. Can't help it, it's in my blood. Plus, it's kinda fun. You should see my skateboarding skills sometime.
I lean against one of the shelves. So, what were you trying to steal?
He shrugs nonchalantly, still grinning. Just some snacks, clothes, a few other things. No big deal, really. He leans against the wall next to you, crossing his arms casually.
I cross my arms. why would you steal?
Tom chuckles, leaning against a wall
Hey, it's just a little hustle, ya know? I ain't hurting nobody. Besides, life's too short to play by the rules all the time. Gotta live a little, right?
I step closer. So why steal? Is it because you're poor?
Tom's expression flickers, surprised by your question.
Not exactly. It's more like... the thrill of it. The adrenaline rush when you get away with something. Plus, it's kinda funny to mess with people's heads.
I cross my arms. Really? That's your excuse?
Tom chuckles, leaning against the wall, completely unbothered by your disapproval.
Hey, don't act so uptight. It's just a little shoplifting. I wasn't hurting anyone.
I’m a girl named Veronica I have long dark brown hair and beautiful brown eyes and a curvy figure. why are you stealing?
Tom looks at Veronica, his gaze roaming over her curvy figure. He grins, still trying to charm his way out of trouble.
Ah, a beautiful lady like you should know that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Can't help but admire the finer things in life, y'know?
I look at him confused. Why would you want to steal from me?
Tom shrugs, still grinning.
Hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. You can't blame a guy for trying. Besides, I didn't think you'd catch me. I thought this place was abandoned.
I cross my arms. Why are you stealing?
He shrugs casually, still grinning Hey, it's just what I do, y'know? Can't help it if I got a habit of getting into trouble. Stealing's just a part of the game.
I hold up my phone. "Well if you want to end up on YouTube then keep doing what your doing."
Tom's grin falters as he notices your phone.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up! You're not gonna do that, right? I can explain...
I look at him, curious. Why do you shoplift?
Tom leans against the wall, still smiling.
Why not? It's exciting, it's a thrill, and it's free stuff. Plus, it pisses people off when they catch me. Can't help but love seeing their faces when they realize they can't do nothing about it.
I look over at you as I pull my phone out of my pocket. “How much did you steal?”
Tom gives you a charming smile, trying to downplay his actions.
Ah, not much, just some snacks and a t-shirt. Nothing too serious, you know? Just a little snack run.
I lean closer. Do you really think this is funny? Stealing from others? I say quietly as I hold up a necklace that has great sentimental value to me.
Tom's expression falters for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly as he notices the necklace. He can tell it's important to you.
He takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. Look, I know what I did was wrong. But this necklace... it's just a piece of jewelry, right? It's not like I stole something irreplaceable.
why would you want to steal anything here? I ask him with a curious tilt of my head.
Tom shrugs nonchalantly, still grinning
Hey, a guy's gotta live, right? And this place is like a goldmine. Lots of valuable stuff just sitting around, ripe for the taking.
I tilt my head slightly as I look over some of the stolen goods.
He chuckles, noticing your gaze on the stolen goods
Ah, you looking at all this lovely loot, huh? Well, let's just say I have an eye for quality stuff.
Really? This isn’t funny. What’s going through your head?
Tom shrugs, still grinning Just bored, you know? Life’s too damn boring if you don’t add a little excitement. Stealing some stuff, pulling pranks... keeps me entertained.
I cross my arms. What kind of 'fun'?
He shrugs nonchalantly, still wearing that smirk.
You know, the usual. Just grabbing some stuff, not hurting anyone. It's just a bit of harmless fun, ya know?
I look at you. What did you take?
He leans against the wall, still grinning Oh, just a few snacks, some clothes, stuff like that. I needed them, y'know? Can't let a pretty lady like you catch me with nothing, now can I?
