[ You stay where you are. We're coming to collect you.

Those two statements from his most recent dream echoed in his mind throughout the day, making him nervous enough to startle when ever his office door had opened or one of the many NYBG gardeners had stepped out of the bushes to ask him a question. It was absolutely ridiculous! His finger drummed on his desk as he settled on a wild contingency plan... The only problem with it was he needed some help to pull it off. ]

Hey, anyone out there want to make a few bucks under the table?

I'm not. And I'm not going to arrest you, but if I think you might be doing something that'd get you or someone else seriously hurt, there might be a call made!

[scotch_egg]

Why do people assume I'm making--

No fine. Sod it. Whatever. Let him do what he wants.

[scotch_egg]

[he won't and if he does there's Ellie},s/amll>

[scotch_egg]

It's nothing. Go away.

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Nose scrunch -- stool pigeon sighted ]

That's all the more reason not to tell you.

[temptationaccomplished]

Thank you, my dear. We can enjoy a lovely evening in while casting them out to the doghouse. I'm putting on some tea if you'd like a cup.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure they'll mind much about us not sharing.

[serpentinthegarden]

Never said it was a job. Just that I was doing it...

[temptationaccomplished]

Darling...

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Oh he did like being called darling! Even if in this case it sounded a little pitying.

The other side had an army. It was time to prepare for it... just in case.]

It's for our side.

[seawalled]

I. Am. Concerned for you, you bloody idiot.

[seawalled]

Ha! Fat chance.

[seawalled]

That's when we sit in one of our rooms and lock the door, dear. Tea sounds absolutely perfect.

[seawalled]

Wait, since when is that a euphemism for someone's ...

I'm not opposed to a little extra cash flow. What kind of trouble do I need to get into?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Eeeeuug.... His kryptonite. Ellie crossing her arms and saying she is worried. No fair bringing out the big guns! ]

It's just a small break-in. In. Out. Should be really simple!

I just need something from a Church...

[temptationaccomplished]

I don’t know! It just sounded like he was implying things!

...didn’t it?

[temptationaccomplished]

[Fat chance? After ...everything here? Was that intentional? He’s not sure that was intentional. But it was funny anyway.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Hey.

[ Finally some one who is in for a bit of trouble! ]

Minor breaking and entering. Are you up for something like that?

[seawalled]

I mean he could've been. He's an adult human being just like the rest of us, you know. Not some fragile little twee thing. I've heard him say worse, believe me. ... Just not an expression I'm familiar with, that's all.

That bein' said, what you two do with each other's ... fruit roll-ups ... is none of my business.

[chenqing_player]

Pretty sure I can handle it. I basically grew up on the streets.

[he is always up for a bit of trouble.]

What am I breaking into?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He drew closer to the screen as the subject of the heist might prove to be controversial for some... ]

A Church.

[seawalled]

[yes. yes it was. carry on, friend]

[seawalled]

Something. From a ...

[and then something clicks]

Oh. Ohhhh. Darling, if you're afraid to go into a church and it's an easy thing, I can do it for you. You don't need anyone to break in.

[chenqing_player]

[He's in luck. A little quirk of an eyebrow and an amused smirk since Wei Wuxian is not at all religious and not afraid to cause mischief in a church.]

Well that's not going to be hard on the entering part to all of this. But what about the stealing side?

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not afraid! It's not a matter of being afraid of anything... What I want people to snatch for me is very dangerous and I need some one who won't melt like the Wicked Witch if they accidentally end up getting splashed by it.
