TITUS RAM TEST DRIVE

[emperorofthieves]

PROMPTS

1) A thief in the night. You're sleeping peacefully, when suddenly you're awoken by the faint sound of rustling. It's quiet, so it could just be the wind, or perhaps you've a pet that's making the rounds? Surely that's it. Yes, you had better go back to sleep and ignore the shadow that moves across your bedroom, searching for wherever you keep your valuables.

2) Backed into a corner. One wrong turn, and you found yourself down a dark alleyway with three--no, four men pointing daggers at you, one of them gesturing for you to open your coin purse. You're contemplating what to do when a hooded figure comes swinging down into the alley and lands hard on one of the muggers, followed by two daggers thrown at the shoulder and thigh of the other two nearby. Just as you're wondering what happened, more dark figures with knives come rushing into the alleyway. Looks like it's just you and the hooded man against these assailants now.

3) Wildcard. Make up your own scenario!

[ In the grand scheme of things he doesn't have much to lose. It's the advantage of being in near-constant financial struggle, if it can even be called that, though it's not a silver lining he's especially fond of. The most valuable thing in his apartment is his chemistry equipment, which honestly isn't something that would catch most thieves eyes.

But while he has very little to lose in the way of actual valuables, he's got a lot to lose in other departments, and the last thing he wants is for this person to find his costume. That, and if he lets this guy roam free he's going to steal from someone else who might have much more to lose. Not a scenario he's a fan of. ]

Hate to tell you, buddy, but I really think you hit the wrong one today.

[titus is from a basically-feudal country, so he's pretty intrigued by the scope of tech, even if this apartment is pretty average otherwise. but he does jump when he realizes his target is awake]

... yeah, I kinda figured that.

[not that it stops him from continuing to rummage in peter's things? titus??]

[spectacularluck]

[ Okay, that's odd. Not just him still checking out his stuff, but also the way he looks ]

Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure this is the part where you panic or threaten me, and I tell you "I've already called the police, they'll be here in a matter of minutes".

[ guess who is making a mock-up really deep voice for that last part ]

[emperorofthieves]

[he waves a hand easily]

You could call them now and they wouldn't catch me. Hey, what's this do?

[he is holding........a tv remote control]

[spectacularluck]

It turns on the TV.

[ a pause, and then— ]

Let's just get this out of the way. What are you, a time traveler? Or maybe just from another universe? Let's say I teach you what's there to know if you give up on robbery.

Possibly forever.

[emperorofthieves]

No can do. It's my job. As for the rest... pick a story you like and go with it?
