That name is really uncreative.

[He knows Latin, what about it.]

Sounds easy enough, aside from the fact that anything in Excelsior is going to have a ton of really advanced security around it.

[robintohood]

Ever tried to steal anything in Excelsior?

[levelshift]

No, but I'm from a city like it. I can handle whatever the hell technology they want to throw at us.

[robintohood]

Good. I’m thinking we gotta take the stealth approach. Apparently someone name Felicity Slaughterclaws has also been eyeballing that toy

[levelshift]

Goddamnit.

[Stealth is a lot harder for him with his ability and the crutch. He's never a fan.]

I hope that's a person and not a literal cat.

[robintohood]

If the Baron is any indication, I’m guessing an alien cat person

According to him, she’s “Scourge of the Stars, Whisker of Trinkets” and his “sworn enemy”

[levelshift]

An alien?

[.......... Oh, that's kind of cool? He's never run into an alien before.

Of course, Accelerator being Accelerator, he can't just text that back.]

Well, whatever. If we get into a fight I'll be able to take her.

[robintohood]

Hopefully it doesn’t happen but good to know

Recon on the place first so we have an idea of what we’re getting into

[levelshift]

Alright. Anything I need to bring for that?

[robintohood]

If you got anything for stealth, use it. Otherwise, nah

We’ll see how a typical night shift looks like for the place from when they switch and close to when they open again

[levelshift]

Got it.

[Black clothing it is! Good thing most of his wardrobe is black.]

That sounds really simple. I'm guessing you've done a lot of these before?

[robintohood]

Yeah. In this kind of work, you spend more time intel-gathering than actual action

It’s how you don’t get caught

[levelshift]

[That sounds so boring....]

Didn't have to worry about getting caught back home. Everything my group did was signed off on by the city's board of directors.

[robintohood]

Lucky. It’s the dead opposite for me. You develop a healthy sense of paranoia if you got a life like mine

[levelshift]

I wouldn't call it lucky.

[He was still doing horrible things, killing people and the like.]

Were you ever caught?

[robintohood]

Nope. I’ve only gotten “caught” when it was on purpose

[levelshift]

So you've never been to prison?

[robintohood]

Been to juvie but that’s it

[levelshift]

What was that like?

[robintohood]

It’s kiddie jail so it’s exactly as shitty as it sounds like. I wasn’t even 10 yet when I went

[levelshift]

Fuck, you were still a baby.

[That's Last Order's age. That's nuts. It's almost impossible to picture a kid that young getting locked up....]

What'd you even do?

[robintohood]

Got caught stealing. I was also mouthing off at the cops so I was charged for resisting arrest too

[levelshift]

And they thought juvenile hall was the best place for a kid that young? The American law system doesn't have anywhere better?

[robintohood]

There’s a lot of things wrong with the system. How kids are handled is only part of the problem

Also, there’s a lot of corruption in Gotham

[levelshift]

Fuck.

I guess I can't say it's that surprising. Shit's fucked back home, too.
