1ST HEIST | even my cat is a criminal

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. ]

[ NOPE. Nope. NO. Akira stops nibbling onto Goro’s cheeks and backs off. Of course he doesn’t want to show that this is actually scaring him off, so he stays there except with his arms wrapped around Goro’s neck. Don’t do the thing. ]

Thanks for the meal.

[ No, Akira is very deserving of punishment. ]

[Mrrrr. He backed off, at least, so Goro won't tickle him... but Akira is getting his full weight put on him, down bitch.]

I'm getting serious about my diet from now on.

[ what the fuck are you trying to do? Akira feels the weight like he's being forced to kneel, but he doesn't budge. Instead, he gives Goro a suspicious look. ]

If your agency hasn't said anything about it, then you should eat whatever you want.

It's not my agency, it's me.

[Even Sena hasn't commented on it, which means it looks natural, but that's a little worrying.... He'll keep leaning.]

I don't want fat cheeks, you know. Certainly not ones you can chew on.

[ WHY ARE YOU LEANING MORE? Akira is now putting his energy isn't staying upright. Stop. Stop. ]

In all seriousness, I think you're fine.

[Down. Down. At this point it's because he wants to win.]

Thank you. However, I would like to prevent that outcome, as I gain weight quite easily if I'm not careful. Not everyone is so blessed with a high metabolism. It's going to be hard with the holidays...

[... What were they talking about? Oh, right.]

Do you have anything you'd like, Akira? I'm certain I could give you anything you ask for, no matter how difficult it is to find.

It's not like you don't work that all off... You should, anyway, since we should be on tip top shape in case anything like August happens again.

[ NO. Akira will stand tall!! And even lightly shove Goro down onto the bed. HA. He's about to join him, but stops with only one knee resting on the mattress as he thinks about a present.

What would he like again? He doesn't remember the last time he officially celebrated the holiday. Rubbing his neck awkwardly, he knows he has to answer. ]

I'd be happy to just enjoy the holidays.... I can't really think of anything.

[Point taken, and point won; Goro flops onto the bed without protest, brushing his bangs away as he considers Akira's words.]

You are the hardest person to shop for, I think. But in that case, I'll take you out for a nice date so we can enjoy it together. Is that alright?

[ Yes, very much. That is definitely all right—there's a lopsided smile as he nods. After a second or two, he tumbles down onto Goro with a loud noise accompanying it. He is not light, but at least there's a cushiony surface below? ]

I do want to go check out an Indian restaurant, though. That would be great.

[ A sad... Pitiful dream that won't come true (maybe), but let him dream. He gets comfortable as he envisions the month of snow. ]

Or stroll through the Christmas light show.

[ At least that is possible. ]

[Oof... This is fine, he'll pet through Akira's hair affectionately, smile small and soft.]

Whatever your heart desires, I shall ensure comes true. I'd even fetch a cowry shell born from swallows if it pleased you. The cloak made from a fire-rat's fur. Impossible things like that. Though a jewel from a dragon's neck may prove dangerous, so consider what I mean to you before that task.

All of that sounds too dangerous for a pleasant boy like you.

[ Goro has gone through so much and the thought of it makes Akira cling onto him with a secure squeeze. ]

As much as I like the feeling of my heart pounding out of my chest, a peaceful Christmas sounds nice.

[ ... But that doesn't feel right. Akira's lips curl a bit where Goro can't see them as something sparks in him. ]

But I don't see why we shouldn't bring holiday cheer to others. What about bringing the ghost of Christmas' past, present, and future to a friend or two? Silver gets awfully prickly during this time of year.

Don't underestimate me, Akira, I'm quite serious about you.

[As if it wasn't obvious. Goro'll return the hug though, nuzzling into Akira's hair. Mmmmm.]

Does he have a problem with the holidays? I'd like to change that, if I can. I've always found them a wonderful time of the year. My second favorite after fall.

[ All he hears is "Don't underestimate me, Akira, I'm quite embarrassing." He's going to simmer in silence with a squint in his eye, but not like Goro can see. Good.

Oh no, this took a turn. Akira isn't... sure. Let's see. ]

Uhm. [ HOW DOES HE SAY THIS— ] It's for other reasons, but I'm sure it's related to the holidays. Why don't you ask him?

[That is also true, he is. A comfortable Goro Akechi is a truly embarrassing creature.]

Do you really think Silver would answer me? We aren't close, you know. Though... I admit, I feel like I know already. [...] I feel that way about a few things, but they're just out of reach. It doesn't have anything to do with his unfortunate name, does it?

Probably not, but you can always hassle him a bit. Throw in some puppy eyes like he kicked you and maybe he'll yield?

[ Akira hasn't tried it himself... He just learned by chance. Anyway, he thinks of the best course of action without blatantly spilling what he knows. He's... Actually not sure if it has to do anything about his name. ]

You'll see. Let's just buy him two sets of presents for now.

[ Big Hint #1 ]

His birthday's around Christmas.

[It's the only hint he needed, since... well.]

Haru's is the same way; I always make sure to buy her two gifts as a result, since I think it's rather unfair to try and skirt by with just one.

I’m not going to confirm or deny that.

[ He knows nothing and you didn’t hear it from him! Got it? This would be a good time to roll off of Goro, but he stay, even kicking his feet back and forth as they dangle off the mattress. Morrigan has had enough time under the bed, sneaking out before seeing their antics. Since he and Akira are not on good terms, he’ll playfully claw Goro’s foot instead. Ouch. ]

When’s her birthday?

[ Leader must know without needing to ask her personally... Though if he doesn’t get it from boyfriend, he can always ask Yusuke. ]

[-- Ouch??? Goro's kicking lightly at Morrigan, but that's not gonna help, is it. He'll tug off one of his socks with his other foot and wiggle it around for the cat to play with.]

Pay the toll and I'll tell you.

[ You’re the worst. Morrigan continues to paw at Goro’s foot before he sees one is completely naked. Why did you take off your sock? He doesn’t jump onto the bed just yet... he’s watching from here, close to the ground, with his tail swishing back and forth.

HMM... ]

You are the best boyfriend, Mister Akechi.

[ Time to drop words of praise?? How else is he supposed to pay. ]

[To play with??? Play with the sock, you dumb cat.]

Most people assume a kiss is the answer, you know. Not flattery. [But it's whatever, apparently, because he rests his head back and rubs Akira's back lightly.] December 15th. It's not as close as it could be to Christmas, but most people simply buy her one present and say it's for both anyway. Make sure you get her two things, alright? I won't have my best friend cheated by my boyfriend.

[Not when she's been supporting him for so long...]

[ No. Morrigan knows you, boy. You are a charming traitor that didn't save him from Akira's scolding!!! He waits there as Akira rolls his eyes at Goro's soft complaints. Flattery work well as tokens—that was what he was taught.

If a kiss is what he wants, that's what he gets. Right after he's done instructing him what to do for Haru's birthday, he goes in for the kill. With lips pressed, he lingers a little longer as if time stood still. Once he pulls back, he instinctively covers his mouth. ]

Kisses are more like rewards, aren't they? [ Huff. ] But I wasn't planning on getting her only one gift, so don't breathe down my neck now.

[Goro can't stop a smile from growing, chuckling lightly at what he's assuming is some show of shyness from Akira, chest warming. Kisses are a good form of bribery, he's realizing to himself, but hell if he'll tell Akira that.]

I won't, I won't. She'll appreciate too, I promise. There's no quicker way to get into her good graces than this.

[ He already knows. It's too late. Morrigan eventually thinks it's safe and gets onto the bed to play with the sock. It doesn't seem like he's that interested in it, pawing it once or twice before his blue eyes look at them both.

Almost judging. ]

I'm not trying to buy her love, but I do want to show her that she's important...

[ He's rather solemn when it comes to Haru for... Reasons, but wtop looking so smug, okay? He's squinting at him now. ]

Don't buy her anything expensive, then. She'll appreciate something quiet more.

[And he doesn't want Akira's gifts to top his. Goro peers around at Morrigan, moving a hand to wiggle his fingers. Come here?]

You may also take her out on a date of sorts that week, if you'd like. I don't mind.

[ you're a little shit because Akira isn't even considering Goro doesn't want him to top his present. He's genuinely considering it... Also feeling relieved because he has a ton things to buy for people.

Morrigan does come to paw Goro's fingers. ]

So I need your permission to hang out with my friends, too? I don't remember this being part of our conditions.

[ ... He is considering that Goro might not feel completely secure all the time. ]
