Time is fake and nothing matters really, so if you’re willing to be patient, I am too.

Little ooc ask: i am sorry for forgetting timezones exist me brain dumb

*Your body, real body, full physical body is grabbed.*

No, this one’s a Sisyphean level of nothing happens. I am immune to mental alteration. This includes exactly what you’re trying. I am Greed. And this world belongs to me.

You’d think you’d figure it out, especially since nothings been destroyed in mine. Meanwhile, you’ve given me some pretty valuable blueprints, to modify and warp at my will. Sure I may not get your penchant for illusion, but It’s certainly quite valuable regardless.

*He flips it in his hand. Then again. And again. Eventually, it picks up enough speed to spin on its own in the palm of his gloved hand.*

*He chuckles to himself.*

#also yeah i’m tapping out for sleep too.

Did you get that out of your system? Or have you not realized the futility of this?

*There’s so much. So much. So very much. Years and years and years and years of intricately packed items.*

*So much dead matter. Every second is recorded. Every moment like a picture frame.*

Specifically? I find that hard to believe that I was accounted for, but oh well.

But I have all the time in the world. Then, I have all the time of the world.

We’re linked now. So, let’s make a deal. You can root around as you wish, and I’ll do the same. It’s not like we can stop each other.

So what would you like to know?

I have a moderately important question: do you care too much about a certain Kajeet the travelling Merchant? Or, fo that matter, know anyone who does? He’s being rather problematic…maybe a nice long vacation in an enclosure would do us all good. I just need to know what the effects on other people will be, to avoid complications.

It would leave a trail. Too many people come looking. Too many missing persons. Only use this method as a last resort.

#thieves cant

[local-pickpocket]

Please.

*From sludge and scrap, the thing reforms itself. Its eyes, they’ve changed. More defined. Mechanical. Again, horns shoot from its head, splattering blood everywhere.*

*What is this thing?!?*

If that would’ve worked, my days would have been through millennia ago.

And please, if you really thought that you would get the prerequisites back being as you encompass them, then you really aren’t as creative as you present yourself as.

It should be back now.

*The chain rips out. Something’s left you. An empty feeling permeates through as it all snaps back.*

*He drops you. Immediately, objective complete, he turns away.*

So, here’s something you should know. Since you want to go about and declare your own uniqueness and trauma, I thought I should tell you.

My capacities aren’t very well defined, and I’ve exploited that since my creation. See, when I wish to steal something, the requirement is that it fits as a quantifiable object. So, I’ll explain it to you, since you’ve been such a great sport about this.

*He spins around again, lopsided horns blaring into your vision.*

I have stolen two things from you. Your ability, and the requirements to use it. Funny how such things work out like that, hmm?

No, no you misunderstand.

I don’t want a key.

I.

*He grips your shoulder.*

Want.

*He lifts you up.*

Y O U.

*A chain stabs into the back of your neck. It doesn’t hurt, but it feels intrusive.*

*A note lands in front of you.*

“Thank you, sincerely, for your wonderful gift. I’ll be sure to put it to good use. Illusions are one thing, but them being so real as to trick even my restrictions are certainly very intriguing. I will watch your career with great interest.”

“Sincerely, Mr. Burnnadot, of whom you really should have considered with more effort.”

*The Half-Elf vomits blood. A lot of blood.*

*Then, flickers in view. He looks at his hand as it blurs and vanishes and reappears, again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again again and again

*He’s gone.*

[local-pickpocket]

*You tear into this poor half-elf’s mind, tearing through memory and soul, again and again!*

*You see his past, his present, and take it apart! Like a child through a sandcastle! It’s almost too easy! Almost too easy.*

*But his laughter doesn’t stop.*

*In fact, it’s making the laughter worse. More reverberant. Louder.*

*As you continue, music seems to pipe up in the background. A jazzy number, upbeat and jovial. As it does, the chaos solidifies.*

*Shit. He can.*

Well, you’ve done quite a number on my little vessel. Shame you missed, isn’t it? Well, I have business elsewhere. Another time, another place, and all that. I’ll be seeing you.

*The space surrounds him. Then, in a blink, he’s gone. Leaving only the image of the unbroken thief as a remnant in the space. That, and a note.*

“This shenanigan was sponsored by the Gimmick-Authority.”

*A rune of greed is etched upon the note.*

*His smile wavers. But doesn’t break.*

You’re an enigma, eh? Let’s test then… AND SEE IF WE CANT CRACK IT!

*He flourishes dramatically. As he does, a second torrent of sheer chaos whirls opposite yours.*

*He can’t have just… no he couldn’t have.*

*He cackles like a Demon. Like a Mad Demon.*

Oh I just HAVE to thank you! After that Symbiote gave me pure biokinesis, I was sure no one would top that! But giving me THIS! Oh that’s a gift I so much more thankful for!

*His laughter continues.*

[local-pickpocket]

*Shame then, that Burnnadot does not care about the body, so long as it lives.*

No, no, no…

*He stretches out his hand. The ring glints. Chains erupt from every angle, and it all just… stops.*

*Tears of space litter the area, scattering in a webbed pattern like supports.*

*He cackles quickly before stifling it.*

So I can expand it! Excellent! Now, another gift.

*He reaches out, weaving through the rifts and paradoxical space, and grasps a small segment of the shattered space. It hovers in his hand like a sphere of annihilation. Then, with another flash, he closes his fist.*

*He smiles wide. Uncomfortably so.*

[local-pickpocket]

*Chains, again. A section surrounding the figure stabilizes. The ground collapses around the small segment, as it falls into the chaotic mess.*

Now this is very interesting.

*His tail trails across the surrounding madness. It sparks like a blade against metal.*

*The tails bleeds from the contact point. The flesh knits itself back together as he looks at it.*

So, you can warp space, hm? Might be nice to have. But that comes later.

*The tail whips back, and stabs the ground. It itself sketches out a rune of its own. But it doesn’t complete it.*

Now tell me, little cat. Can you tell what this is?
