Amalthea Bank Heist

[soulping]

[You find yourself standing across the street from your bank, though the sign is large enough to read the words:]

Round 1

[soulping]

[and behind you, speaks up a potentially familiar Cat]

At what time will you be attempting your heist?

Discussion

[goodbyenurse]

...Oh my. Just me today?

[Hope nobody cares but I am changing into the track suit and sneakers--running in my absurd lawyer outfit would be absurd.]

Re: Discussion

[glorious]

[...I AM STILL HERE. JUST. RESPECTFULLY TURNED AWAY. WHERE I'M NOT LOOKING.]

Re: Discussion

[goodbyenurse]

[YES GOOD.]

I suppose a late night entry would be best for properly taking advantage of my talents.

Besides, I wish to keep the possibility of civilian interference to a minimum.

Not too late, however... [TRACK SUITED UP.]

I suppose we do not have access to the building plans through our local governmental records-keeper, do we?

Re: Discussion

[glorious]

[STILL NOT LOOKING]

That's a bit beyond the scope of the game. You'd have to go in without any detailed plans.

Re: Discussion

[goodbyenurse]

Tch. I suppose properly planning such a heist is simply beyond our game's runner.

I suppose that settles it, then. The night calls to me. I shall deal with it as I originally planned.

Decision

Re: Decision

[goodbyenurse]

[We goin' in at 10:15 PM. DARKNESS CALLS.]

Round 2

[soulping]

You proceed onto the bank premises during the dead of night...at precisely 10:15pm. No-one seems to be around the premise and, thankfully, no-one seems to be on the streets now either.

However, the bank is quite obviously closed at this time of night and, presumably, locked. You'll have to find a way in.

[goodbyenurse]

[Step one: case the joint. How tall is the building, where are the ground floor entrances, did some dumbass leave an open window, etc etc.]

Re: Round 2

[soulping]

The building is only one story high. There are windows, but they all have a metal grate over them that are bolted into the brick walls and none of them are open. However, towards the back you may get a view of a metal box on the roof.

Re: Round 2

[goodbyenurse]

[Then we are going to start abusing sealpowers. SURE ARE SOME GLOWY PURPLE RUNES SPREADING OVER HER BODY (not that you could see it because... hoodie).]

[And there are little girl eldritch whispers which would probably be concerning to anyone who was around, but. again.]

[She's going to go ahead and use the darkness to make handholds to let herself climb up to the roof.]

Re: Round 2

[soulping]

...You successfully call upon eldritch, dark powers to scale the back of the wall.

Now that you're closer to the metal box, you can see a ⚡ symbol displayed on the metal door. There doesn't seem to be any lock on it.

[goodbyenurse]

[>DON HEAVY DUTY WORK GLOVES.]

[>OPEN DOOR.]

Re: Round 2

[soulping]

You successfully open the door! And find that there's exactly one plastic wire inside, and it certainly looks rather flimsy...

Re: Round 2

[goodbyenurse]

[Well, I guess this is just to keep people who don't have electronic skill from being locked out of disabling things.]

[Good thing my black and decker 133 piece toolkit has diagonal pliers.]

[...snip.]

Round 3

[soulping]

You successfully open the safe, the door falling with a loud thud. Inside, 91,500,000 yen awaits.

However, for every free square you have you can only fit 355,000 yen inside. If you still have the dufflebag from the Janitor's Room, you'll be able to take more money. However, it'll take you some time to fill your case and the dufflebag, and you'll only be able to pick up 710,000 yen at a time.

Time, something you have in very short supply as you hear sirens growing louder and louder outside...

Start packing.

Re: Round 3

[goodbyenurse]

[If only I could grow more hands out of the walls.]

[Oh wait. I can.]

[Still carrying the C4 duffle bag and clearing out the other one (and also her other other one in her case) with shadow tendrils, it is time to start shoveling money into both duffle bags at the same time.]

[In the meanwhile, her hands are dumping her entire collection of gear aside the marbles. MORE ROOM!]

[Eldritch abomination thievery is the best thievery.]

Re: Round 3

[soulping]

Unfortunately the shadowy tendrils find it a bit difficult to actually hold onto the money, and they keep dropping the cash on the floor -- if not outright having the money slip through its grasp. It seems whoever placed this money here put some sort of charm on it...

You manage to put away 710,000 yen. The sirens are still getting louder and louder...

Re: Round 3

[goodbyenurse]

[...Damned 'fair and balanced' rules.]

[Well since it's dark in here, just going to shovel in more money. TENDRILS OF DARKNESS, GO AHEAD AND SPREAD THE MARBLES AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE.]

Re: Round 3

[soulping]

The tendrils can at least do that much, spreading the marbles all over the entrance way.

You now have 1,420,000 yen. You hear the screeching of tires outside, and can maybe even see some flash of red and blue lights bouncing along the walls now.

Re: Round 3

[goodbyenurse]

[Okay, I have two options here. Option one: get the hell out now and try to get away.]

[Option two: gather the rest of the funding while waiting for them to surround the area, then find a weakness in the enemy defenses and escape. This comes down to a secondary question: Do I think I can take a number of armed police officers waiting for me in close quarters...?]

[The tendrils sharpen. And Belt shovels more money.]

[The way of Amalthea is not one of half-assed escape before the mission is complete.]

Re: Round 3

[soulping]

You now have 2,310,000 yen. There's the sound of doors opening and closing, and feet organizing. You may be able to fit in two more chances at grabbing the money, but it'll be close.

Re: Round 3

[goodbyenurse]

[Two more you say? Two more it is. She continues shoveling, preparing to run.]
