The Best Idea

[hachitaro]

Who: Taro Watanabe and Albedo
What: Taro's feeling more impulsive, so he decides to try to steal something rare. Those rare books he saw through a window will do!
When: Forward-dated to Friday the 27th, night
Where: Albedo's room and then wherever Taro runs like hell to.
Rating: R for potential blood and violence. Because Albedo.

[It's dark, and Taro's been itching for something to steal. He needs some extra money, anyway. People in the hotel are more likely to have rare stuff than people in the dorms, so he heads to the roof to start climbing down and peeking through windows.]

[He spots a bookcase full of rare books, and no one inside, so he heads back to the interior of the building and pulls out some safety pins and gets to work on the lock. After a few minutes of work, he slips inside, looking around to see what's the oldest or the rarest.]

*All of the books are easily a hundred years old, even though all of the publishing dates are far into the future...at least it seems that way. It's hard to tell, since they're all dated TC something or other. But he won't get much time to examine them, as Albedo's chosen tonight to come raid his personal library.

He doesn't ask questions when he sees someone else in his room, pawing at his collection. Without so much as a conscuious thought, his knife comes out from behind his cape and he lunges, aiming to stab clean into the spine of the unlucky intruder.*

[Taro hears footsteps behind him and he turns, leaping out of the way of the first blow.]

Woah what th - shit!

[He darts to the right, trying to figure out a way past this guy. Dammit, if only he had his illusions still...]

I don't recall giving anyone permission to poke around in my collection.

*He shifts to intercept Taro, swinging the blade again without hesitation.*

[Shit. That cuts into his shoulder and it hurts pretty badly. He reaches over to try to grab the man's wrist and maybe use his lower center of gravity to flip him off balance.]
