[open to all] LET'S STEAL CHRISTMAS

Date & Time: 05/04/12 - Midnight
Location: Several different broken into apartments...
Characters: Jack Spicer and YOU!
Summary: Jack is getting desperate for materials, so he's breaking into people's apartments to take anything of value.
Warnings: Possibly violence (HE'S PROBABLY GONNA GET BEATEN UP A WHOLE LOT.....)

[Waiting it out and playing good guy in order to earn enough money to buy resources just didn't sit well with Jack. He'd considered several different methods of gathering the necessary tools but this was the quickest and easiest way he could think of. Once it hit midnight, he left his own living quarters and went off into the night with nothing but his backpack and a burlap sack, stalking the halls of exsilium and blending in quite well with everything, inwardly mocking people who made fun of his outfit. USEFUL NOW ISN'T IT. In any case, he eventually came across a door, tossing a few looks down either side of the hall before a mechanical limb extended from his backpack, a small key shaped object at the end of it, which inserted itself into the lock of his current target. For a few seconds it'd just sort of jiggle around in the lock, before the door clicked open, the limb retracting back into his backpack. He was getting the hang of using this 'sentient weapon' thing, and he was really loving it so far, especially since he discovered it can do things like this. Now that he was in, it was just a case of robbing a few suckers blind and reaping the benefits the next day, or so he thought.]

[ooc: feel free to have potential victims react however you want! Maybe they find him, maybe they're still asleep, anything goes! B)]

[ Good, that gives her time to get up and poke her head out the door. At least she's gained one pair of pajama pants by then. ]

No, really. What do you want? Were you looking for me?

[Jack hops back a foot or two in surprise, letting out a little high pitched yelp as he does.]

Don't do that! Sheesh, uh..

[He's just going to hide that burlap sack of his behind him and grin awkwardly...ehh...]

W-Well, I...uh...no, I think I have the wrong apartment! Haha, this isn't mine, geez, sure is hard to get around when it's so dark...heh. Eheheh.

[ She raises a finger to shush him. ]

Shh, you'll wake my roommates! Also the door was locked so I don't really think you're in the wrong apartment. You want to come in here and tell me what you're really up to?

[Annnd he'll just kind've look to the side. He's really surprised by the fact she's not freaking out about this whole invasion of privacy thing.

Aliens sure are weird! Still he's got a pretty good lie in mind to tell her, so. :|]

Alright, alright, but you can't tell anyone. It's...kind've a top secret project I'm working on.

[ It'd better be good. She pulls him all the way in so she can shut the door, throwing him an expectant look. ]

Cross my collapsing and expanding acquatic bladder-based vascular system's rough correlation to a heart, I won't tell a soul!

Alright, so...

[How to word this...]

Day one I got here and everyone thinks I'm some kind of total loser, right? I can tell. They probably don't even think I'm all that good at what I'm good at. Mechanical stuff.

So I figure I'll build something to help us all get out of here, you know? But I don't have any materials and I'm kinda broke, so, uh...

Maybe...I'm just borrowing some stuff from other people to get it done.

[And he holds out the sack and gives it a little shake; there's a few kitchen appliances already in there, courtesy of Unit 303's kitchen.]

I figured...y'know, it wouldn't matter if it worked! We'd all be out of here anyway so who cares about a few missing blenders and toasters and...whatever else.

Is that so? So what happened to being evil?

Well, maybe I'm doing this for myself! You ever think of that?

[And he'll try and look evil. Check out that grin.]

If you're all gone that means noone can stop me from taking this place over. Plus those masked losers will be too busy ransacking other planets to stop me, either, and if the places they're going after put up a fight it'll just leave more time for me to do my thing.

[ Tapping her chin as though she actually has to think about it, it's taking all her effort not to laugh. ]

But you just said you were building something to help get us all out of here! Just a hunch here, you're the expert obviously, but that's not very evil.

Look, whatever! I'm totally evil here, you just don't get the subtle intricacies of diabolical masterminded-...ness.

Sometimes you have to do a little good to do a lot of evil.

[He's tempted to just admit he's lying and wants to build a robot army to prove her wrong, but...no. Not a good idea.]

Or you could wipe out whatever they're using to bring everyone back to life, slaughter them all, and reap the spoils! That's what I would do-- I mean, if I was evil and wanted to stage a coup.

[ And she smiles so innocently as she says it, too. ]

You're not going to do a lot of good with my blender. Which, by the way, can I have that back?

Well, I could do that but...I mean, I don't have to...necessary-...uh...egh.

[He just stares at her for a minute before reaching into the sack and pulling out the blender, handing it to her.]

Fine, here. I'll just go snatch another from somewhere else, then.

See, now this is what I meant by this whole better ally than enemy thing. If we weren't on good terms I would've just kept that, you know.

Oh...

[ For a second after she takes the blender, she looks at it... a little disappointed. It's only when she looks up that she smirks again. ]

You mean you're not going to fight me for it? Or at least put up a fuss that I can be more evil than you when I don't even care about being evil?

H-Hey, who said you can be more evil than me?? If anything the fact you don't get this whole evil plotting thing just goes to show how little you know about being evil!

Any two-bit wannabe villain can just destroy everything outright. That's not how greatness is achieved. You have to work it. Make it your own. And that takes time.

Rushing into stuff like this is so a newbie mistake. Which I expected anyway, I just didn't bring it up.

[ She shrugs and sets the blender aside, taking a seat on the bed. Normally talking about death and destruction isn't her bag. Reminds her way too much of her ancestor and all. But there's something different about teasing him with it. ]

Well, sure! I mean, if you're just looking for something small-time like taking over this place. But if you're looking for world or universal domination, an itty bitty place like this compound is just a drop in the ocean!

Exactly!...but I'm starting from scratch, so obviously things are gonna go a little slow from the getgo.

I'm workin' my way up here! Get some momentum going and then there'll be no stopping me.

[Hmm..]

Why're you so interested anyway? I'd ask if you're some kind of...oh, I dunno, potential villain in the making yourself, but I really don't think you'd be cut out for it, so...

It isn't really my thing, no, but it's just really frustrating how bad you are at it! It's sort of sad when probably the most not-devious troll you will ever meet is better at evil than the supposed evil genius! I know we just met and all, but...

[ Abort abort abort turn back before it's too late Jack Spicer this won't end well for any party involved. ]

[sdjnfhvif;djs]

Bad at evil!? I'll have you know I wasn't gonna do jack[oh so intentional] for any of you guys anyway! The whole way-back-home thing was a total load!

The only reason I'm out here robbing all you suckers is I'm trying to get parts for my robots, and I've had you fooled this entire time!

So who's the bad at evil one now, huh!? They don't come any sneakier or more devious than me!

[ ROLLING HER EYES. ]

Uh, duh? Nobody was falling for that hoofbeast crap! You're not even a good robber, you just gave me back my stuff because I asked! That's not bad at all, that's actually pretty considerate of you!

[Oh man he's just so frustrated HE THOUGHT YOU WERE NICE...]

W-well, just, shut up! Forget it then, I'm out've here, I've got a bunch of other apartments to hit and I don't have time to waste doing...whatever the hell this even is!

[And to make a point he's taking that blender back. :T]

You can make time!

[ Oh dang oh dang this is exciting! Here's her chance to really shine! She hops up in short pursuit, but when she reaches out, it's not for the blender but for his jacket. When she bares her teeth, it really doesn't have the same effect as she tries not to giggle and fails miserably. Oh god how does fish princess know what black flirts is? Oh god how did I get here I am not good with black flirting. ]

[He figures she's going for the blender, holding it away as she goes for him, but once she actually grabs onto him, well...wtf.

He holds onto the blender but at the same time attempts to pull himself away using just his torso, leaning his body as far back away from her as possible.]

H-Hey, let go! What're you doin'?!

[ She's in the middle of tugging when she sort of stops and holds. She's a lot stronger than she looks for being so short and slight. ]

What do you mean, what am I doing? Uh. It's kind of obvious, right?

[He's realized that while trying to pull away, and it kinda terrifies him.

Not that he's gonna admit that.]

...no? I thought you were trying to get this back.

[Holding up that blender.]

[ Someone's cheeks are very, very pink right now. ]

Oh. Uh. Right... yeah.

[ She would be mad at him for rejecting her advances, but she's busier being embarrassed for getting too excited and letting it slip her mind that humans don't usually do the quadrant thing. The ones she knew best understood it, at least.

Also she's sort of still. Holding on. Awkwardly. Like she's unsure what to do. ]
