So hypothetically, if you're an atheist (no judgement on people who aren't! ♥) and then learn your magic is the result of divine intervention, does that change things for you?

I happen to be in Enprise, so they can count as a debate!

Oooooor~! I might wander around and anyone can try to steal some coins [ inserted image of twenty weird coins ] from me if they can find me! I was a priness in another life and I'm the only staff member of the Stone Pegasus Casino left in town, so I count as double rich, maybe? Either way, it might be fun to see how daring people can get!

[ Feel free to respond with like action stuff about trying to find her, or have threads lead into that. she's being vague on purpose and moving around. ]

[Every instinct in his body objected to hunting, he was a thief after all, not a hunter, he looks around for anything he could use, sabre out he keeps looking around, heading toward the food section...instinctively thinking for a moment that he needed to refill his stash of food...and maybe she is snacking...mocking him in her thoughts, though his heart pounded ridiculously hard, he is able to barley keep the sabre steady, his footsteps are getting heavier, and breathing as well]

[ hmmm...

You know secure in her position... ]

I don't doubt you!

[ Let's see if that'll make them jump. It might reveal where she is by the sound of her tapping out the letters (and did mean she needed to gently put the rapier on the shelf) but worth it, maybe. ]

[A vib of a cell phone is heard, and he takes a wild slashing swing behind him a slight sound of metal cutting air can be heard, the very soft tapping, that...that couldn't be her? TEXTING!? He tip toes toward the sound...and grabs one coin, and tosses it toward some radios one shelf behind the rapier, while making a quick dash toward it, tucked down he runs toward it, trying to make it to either the rapier itself, or to a hiding spot...but if she were to peek right now, he would be spoted]

[ A few things happen all at once here. First, she drops her own cell phone, back into the purse. Second, she stands in a quick motion, having been apparently discovered. And third, with her right (biological, the other is a prosthetic) arm she reaches out to grab the small rapier again, just to be ready. So yes, she might notice him, but that's her immediate instinct.

The coins to steal, presumably, are in the purse, especially given the sound of there being many small stone and/or jade-ish objects in there. ]

[He starts to run toward her and dashes just to the side of the aisle, and tosses a coin, aimed at her general direction, purposefully high to hopefully divert her attention toward it, his eyes look at her, frantically and sees the purse, he is coiling his legs to prepare to jump right at the purse]

[ . . . Bah, he's too close. He's too close and there's no way she can risk her blade powers here. She doesn't have enough confidence in not genuinely hurting the younger man. As such, while she is distracted, when she realizes why she was, she doesn't use her powers, instead skidding back a step and trying to use her left arm to block the open top of the purse. ]

[He jumps, and throws the sabre toward the other side of the aisle mid jump!(he is kinda off though, it hits the shelf instead) Using his entire body toward one tackle, aimed at the purse, though one arm being slightly closer to the shelf then he thought..., knocks a radio out of the shelf, which, alters his course slightly, more toward her, rather then the purse he originally aimed for..he might accidentally tackle her! though his left arm still reaches toward the purse anyway]

[ Well she needs to drop the rapier then too! These are dangerous, you know, this thing is sharp and while she miht remember it and has the muscles to show for it, she's not a master swordsman. And this guy had already said he didn't have powers, right? So they are going down with a tackle, the jeweled little sword on her end going to the ground as she yelps in some surprise at the sabre on his end.

That said, if they're going down...

She has a lot of leg strength and strength in her right arm (upper body strength is limited because the output on her prosthetic left arm is limited) so she'll at least try to flip them over to give herself better leverage. But there is that opening on the purse. ]

[Not much he can do now, mid air, expect to try to keep his eyes on the purse, the 1st thing that happens, is hitting her mid section, at the left side, his left hand just BARLEY getting a strap of the purse, enough to move it toward him, but not enough to get a grip on.

He was barley thinking about his right arm, other then tucking it in slightly, the arm slams against her, he is unsure about where though, as he tries to reach for the purse a little more as he sees the ground rushing up to greet him, mentally still unprepared to land, desperate to get that ONE little extra inch so he can grasp it, regardless of how he lands]

[ Is.

This kid...

serious?!

She knows she asked for it but all the same, with a little growl on instinct she - as she's going down, yanked, she makes to try to kick at him, blindly, wherever he leg can connect. ]

[YES! GOT IT! Wait...oh crap...]

[Suddenly he realized gravity still worked, getting kicked hard from the side, he coils in sudden unexpected pain, scooping her along in his right arm, which had caught itself wrapped around her, the kick made Al drop the bag he just scooped up, sending it flying somewhere...]

[ wow. She was going to ask if he was alright, but given she got knocked on her ass, she's not actually feeling that charitable. So she's just going to try to scramble to her feet to follow the purse line! ]

[He crashed to the ground hard, He wanted to ask her if she was alright, and sort of felt bad, but he couldn't think right now. He tries to get up quickly, but his legs kick far too soon and gives him a small lift up, just to fall down again, soo much effort, so little movement to God knows where]

[ She does manage to get the purse, having nimbly navigated back over to it!

... But even as she did, she sees that ten of the twenty or so jade coins have fallen out. Frowning,she makes to collect them, but she only has one arm (her right) to really do this with,so it takes a while. ]

[He gets up, correctly this time, and doesn't look like a drunk this time. He doesn't spot the purse, but he does spot a few of the jade coins, and picks a few up, pockets three of them and then actually speaks, with a big smile on his face and hands extended toward her, with a few more of the coins]

Looking for these?

[He says rather playfully]

[ She looks very, very sour for a moment, her red eyes locking on him... but then she laughs and shrugs. ]

Good work, you got me.

[his heart dropped when she looked sour and he doubted himself, then sighs in relif and laughs with her]

Oh God, that was the most Fun I've ever had...here have them back

[His face seems completely innocent while offering the coins back]

[ She's too competitive (and that tackle hurt) to really let it go immediately, but she grins even more, taking the coins back and putting them in the purse. And then with an exhale she's going to roll up the sleeve on her left arm to make sure the prosthetic is still firmly in place. ]

No, no, you did well! I didn't see most of that coming, it was bold! ... Dangerous, but bold!

[He laughs again]

Awww, thank you! and thanks for holding back! Im sure you could have hurt me REALLY bad if you went all out...Are you alright? I didn't mean to tackle you...sorry...

[He looks away, eyes shut tight, almost as if expecting to get smacked]

I'm not about to hurt someone over something like this.

[ She says it simply, but the fact is true: she wouldn't turn her blade on the kid, or even more to the point, she wouldn't make use of her actual power. Still, once she's confirmed that the arm is in place, she holds up her right, stretching out her index finger, and spins it in the air, causing scalpel-sized crystal blades to swirl into existence, orbiting her spinning finger ]

These are way too dangerous.

[He opens one eye cautiously, then opens both of them up and sees the blades and is awe struck]

They...they are beautiful...

[His eyes follow the blades orbiting her finger, and almost looks like a child looking at a Christmas tree for the 1st time]

Yeah, swords are dangerous...but they can be elegant...swift, sleek, light...and with some practice, blade and body are an extension of each other....

[ Wow. She giggles at that, and closes her finger, causing the blades to shatter into what might as well be stardust. ]

Thank you! It's something I'm still working on, these divine gifts of mine.

[ She rolls her right shoulder though. ]

I don't think I broke anything on the tackle though. did you?

[He is amazed when they shatter into stardust, then smiles, looking at her]

No, I'm all fine, though I admit, I'm typically running AWAY from people, not toward them, not everyone makes getting robbed into a game quite like you do!

What are those coins anyway?

I got them out of Retrospec's mailbox. I'm pretty sure they're a currency in that other world.

[ Not 100% sure, but. ]

There is a mailbox? does your other self just give them to you?

Sorry, still new to all of this, so I'm probably going to ask dumb questions for a while

[So much for what he was going to do with coin 1...or maybe he can still sell it somewhere...]
