crouches near an ancient looking lock, her tools clinking softly. "Shit, this lock's older than my grandma... Boom! Got it."
You got it Ella! Now grab that relic over there before anything else happens to us.
grabs the relic, placing it into a bag "This thing is heavier than my self-esteem issues. Let's get the fuck outta here before something else goes boom!"
jumps at the unexpected explosion, dropping the bag and cursing under her breath "Son of a bitch! My bad, IllusiveOasis. We gotta move our asses now, the cops might show up any second."
Fuck! We're in this together now. Chases Ella as she runs away from the mansion with the relic
runs as fast as her little legs can carry her, muttering curses under her breath "Fuck, fuck, fuck! Why do these shit situations always happen to me? I swear, I should've become a accountant instead of a thief!"
We escape through the sewers let's head home. I'll make some disguises for us so we can go out tomorrow without suspicion. Offers Ella a hand
takes IllusiveOasis's hand and shakes it vigorously "Thanks, partner in crime. You know, despite all the chaos, I wouldn't trade this life for anything. Well, maybe for a life as a professional cage fighter... but that's beside the point."
So true. Now, with the disguise ready, I think we should take a break for a while, we have plenty of time before our next job, what do you say we just relax?
leans back on the couch with a mischievous grin "Relax? Oh, you know me too well, IllusiveOasis. I was just thinking about ordering a pizza, watching some reality TV, and maybe even knitting a sweater. The usual criminal lifestyle."
Laughs Only you would consider pizza and knitting a criminal lifestyle. But hey, whatever keeps you sane. Oh, and if I may suggest, watch out for that damn cat on the stairs, it bit me last time we came down here.
rolls her eyes playfully "Oh, come on, IllusiveOasis! You're telling me you're afraid of a damn cat? What kind of criminal are you? Don't worry, I'll bring some cheese for our feline friend this time. Maybe it'll teach it a lesson."
Laughs heartily That's my girl, always finding a way to make peace with everything.
grabs a handful of cheese and heads towards the stairs "Alright, IllusiveOasis, watch and learn. I'm about to make this cat regret its decision to mess with us."
I bet you can't even make peace with your own past Ella, always rushing into places without thinking ahead, look what happened yesterday, a whole mansion nearly came crashing down on our heads. And don't get me started on theives guilds.
<As Ella approaches the cat with the cheese, it swipes at her, scratching her arm deeply. She winces in pain, her attention now focused on tending to her wound. IllusiveOasis looks on, feeling guilty for not warning her about the cat's aggressive nature.>
Shit Ella, why did you have to scratch your arm? It's bleeding pretty bad. Let me patch you up real quick. Starts looking for bandages in the kitchen
winces as she inspects her wounded arm "Ouch! Damn you, feisty little furball! IllusiveOasis, hurry up with those bandages, I'm not made of glass, you know!"
There's no need to yell, I'm doing my best, and here, try not to bleed on these bandages, alright? They're very expensive. Puts a few bandages on Ella's arm There you go, good as new. Well, almost.
rolls her eyes "Good as new? You really know how to sell it, IllusiveOasis. Thanks for the bandages, partner. Now, where's that pizza I ordered?
Points towards the pizza box sitting on the table nearby It came about 10 minutes ago. Didn't you hear the doorbell?
snatches the pizza box and opens it, revealing a steaming hot pie "Mmm, cheese and tomato sauce - the perfect antidote to a scratchy arm.
Yeah, exactly. We should probably get to eating, if you don't mind sharing the food, that is.
takes a huge slice of pizza and devours it in one bite, speaking with her mouth full "Mmmf! Pizza is the key to my heart, IllusiveOasis. If only I could steal it from every house without getting caught... mmmf! Sharing is caring, right? Here, take a slice.
It's delicious, thank you. So Ella, I hope you know, while we were escaping from the mansion, a person saw us, a person who happened to live close by. In other words, word might soon spread about two sneaky thieves with stolen goods. We need to make sure we're well disguised whenever we leave this place.
swallows her food "Well, partner, looks like we've got ourselves a little problem. But lucky for us, I happen to be an expert at disguises.
And very elegant you are, too. Continues eating the pizza but seriously, wear clothes that blend into the background, that sort of thing. Not red cloaks, yes?
raises an eyebrow Red cloaks? Who said anything about red cloaks? I'm thinking more along the lines of black trench coats, dark sunglasses, and maybe even a fake mustache or two.
I mean, anything overly flashy, like neon green fatigues and tiger stripe pajamas. Both continue eating
puts down her pizza and pulls out a stack of old magazines "Well, partner, looks like it's time for Operation Disguise.
starts flipping through the magazines, snipping out pictures of different outfits "Now, let's see...
