1ST HEIST | even my cat is a criminal

[maskreant]

Akira Kurusu shared a photo. 11/12 near Apprassage

so... i was sick the past week and my cat snuck out several times without me knowing. he ended up bringing an assortment of socks and underwear from around the city. sorry. if you recognize anything that belongs to you, you can come get it. i promise he usually doesn't do this when he's out. again, sorry. i played a tune (loop stations are great) to heal the hearts of those who lost their undergarments last week. i hope it helps.

[ This is the attached tune for those that click on it!

Also, you can assume that the black and white cat slipped into your place somehow and snatched your undies/socks. The picture does not convey the kitty's heist. If you want it stolen, consider it there. All stolen items belong to all genders... Morrigan is impartial and just. Otherwise, some of these can probably be NPCs' items. ]

he was actually a stray before i picked him up, so it's not like he went crazy with power when he went outside. i'm not sure what got over him, but he'll definitely stay inside for a while.

come pick them up. better than telling me which one is yours.

[ HE DOESN'T NEED ANY OF THIS KIND OF INFORMATION he's dying. ]

[notyourutopian]

Yeah I am definitely not telling you which one is mine.

So.
You know 'my cat stole it' sounds like a really bad excuse right?

[maskreant]

i don't think pulling a heist this large without being caught is feasible for something or someone bigger, but that's really the story.

you can believe what you want.

How's it get in and out of apartments?

[maskreant]

he can open doors.

[ He'll send a picture of his cat staring at a doorknob, reaching for it desperately before jumping up to hang onto it. With a couple of twists he opens the door...

And walks out—that sound and the shaking camera is Akira chasing after him. ]

so as long as it isn't locked, he can get in.

[notyourutopian]

That's

...

You have an insanely smart cat.

[maskreant]

i wouldn't trade him for the world, but with intelligence comes consequences.

like this. if only he could use it for good...

[notyourutopian]

Right...

So what's with the underwear?

[maskreant]

as a serious answer, cats and dogs like their owner's scent and it's the strongest in dirty socks and underwear. that's why you find cats sleeping in underwear drawers or laundry baskets and dogs being crate trained by throwing underwear in to ease their anxiety.

in context of this post, probably because they're soft and easy to steal, like socks.

[ HE'S PRETENDING ALL OF THESE ARE CLEAN. And will be washing them, anyway. ]

[notyourutopian]

My dog mostly stole socks, thinking about it.

I can't imagine your cat has made you terribly popular right now.

[maskreant]

i don't know if that's better than stealing shoes.

no, but at least i was never popular to begin with. this isn't too different to what i'm used to.

[notyourutopian]

She usually just nests on them.

It was a nice way of saying people are probably mad at you.
Not...actual unpopularity.

[maskreant]

that's cute. Morrigan tried to fit into my shoes before, but i got him when he was a bit too big for it.

that's still the same thing, isn't it? if people don't like you, you're unpopular. it was never an excuse or anything. then again, it's no big deal.

[notyourutopian]

Hm.
I'm not sure if people being angry with you and unpopularity is the same thing.
I mean.

They can be angry with you and not dislike you.
