( CLOSED ) that moment when you can rob your rich friend but you decide to pick a bank

[maskreant]

WHO: Akira Kurusu, Yusuke Kitagawa, Goro Akechi, Haru Okumura, Koga Oogami, and Elliot Craig.
WHERE: Chata!!
WHEN: before Yusuke gets stabbed, i'm hoping
WHAT: This group of six is literally going to rob a bank to help generate soul energy...
WARNING: possible p5 spoilers, cursing (Koga), and disaster (everyone)

WELCOME TO WEALTH!


Wealth Bank, a bank that has a hand in gold exchanges, opened its new branch in Recolle as of last year, sticking out like a sore thumb in the midst of Chata's outlined and painted pleasantries. Grand from its foundation to its ceiling, it represents the divide between the economic classes. However, they offer substantial aid to students of all backgrounds, no matter how poor. They're here to help! Unfortunately, the internet says otherwise. Cached comments from different victims all across the world bring the nature of this establishment to light.

man this place just sucks the life out of you?? what they do is try to lure you in with these low rates and promise of helping you finance your years going to college but all they do is exploit students and you're left with more debt

There are rumors that this company launders money through their bank. You are warned.

i've heard that if students can't pay off their debts, they're asked to make drug runs to clear them. you can't just do it once, either. they'll keep banging on your door and dangle your debt right in front of you. it's horrible.

And there's only more. The rumors say that the bank is only a cover for loan sharks, drug rings, and the like. Whether these are true are not is left to the reader, but the abundance of people coming forward online is astounding. There are comments that say they've seen people disappear when dealing with Wealth and any of its branches... So far, Recolle has been spared, but it may be that the bank is hoping to build rapport before dipping into its true nature.


TIME TO INFILTRATE.


The bank is heavily guarded and completely painted, but with the help of Retrospec's awful shenanigans, our local Robin Hoods may have a better chance when guards and employees can't see them at all. What they need to worry about are the dogs that sometimes parole around the premises and within the corridors. Unfortunately, animals can see them crystal clear. The intricate security system is still intact and rooms are still locked. While security cameras probably won't pick them up yet, it would be good to clear that footage in case they return to their perceivable status in the future.

Their goal is to find any proof to back up these rumors, destroy and delete debt records, possibly return (steal) personal items to their rightful owners when it's possible (thanks, Retrospec), and if they don't find anything... Guess they're going to loot a buck or two to throw out of their getaway car as they parade through Recolle. Overall, simple, if they don't mind that some of the computers with access to records are scattered (thanks, Retrospec again). Once this heist is done, Recolle's Wealth branch will close.

Don't line your own pockets too much! Akira will be there to smack your hand. Bad.

I think we should all have tails.

[... In his professional, model-based opinion. Of course Goro's come for fashion? Who do you think he is?]

Though I suppose it wouldn't fit well with some of our outfits... Regardless, I don't see a problem with flashy costumes. You may as well go all the way and have some fun if we won't be seen.

[says the person with the least thief-like PT outfit.]

[maskreant]

Furry.

[ ... But!! Akira does imagine it? Not all of them having tails, just Koga having one. It does fit. ]

Remember you sacrifice mobility with style sometimes.

[fiddlestick]

[he gives a small laugh. yeah...not really the furry type, thanks] Maybe you should get yourself a tail too, Goro?

Y-Yeah, I know. I want to make sure to be careful with that. I'm not exactly the most mobile person to begin with.

[twostringsonebow]

[............ He's gonna immediately look for tails, hold on, he wants ears too--]

[maskreant]

Maybe your outfit can match Haru’s? She doesn’t have trouble moving around.

[ He takes out a hat that looks stylish, though it’s black. Of course Akira picks black, don’t judge him. Placing it on Elliot’s head, he picks out a simple mask and frames it to see if it matches.

Hmmm. ]

Maybe not black.

[ oh. OH. Oh. What about this halo? While Goro looks for his first step towards a fur suit, Akira switches the hat for a halo and puts devil horns on himself instead. ]

[fiddlestick]

Oh, I do like Haru's a lot!

[it's so classy and cool- and has a nice hat! He laughs a little as he straightens the hat out on his head, glancing at a mirror]

Yeah, Black's more your color theme. Maybe a lighter color---

[Annnnd now he's got a halo on his head. He's not sure how to feel about this]

Uh, well, the horns suit you at least. [He reaches over and grabs some matching little devil wings to hand over to Akira]

[roughplayer]

[ Sadly Koga doesn't know Haru and that's a damn shame because her and her PT outfit is adorable, but yeah he can't comment on that. Hm, practicality though. This... is not practical, but who wouldn't want to try over the top costumes while they can? This is optimal use of the broken layers thing as far as these thieves care: looting high end fashion boutiques! No consequences either, for now. Someone here likes shopping, alright? ]

They really do suit him. [ So does this furry parka for a certain wolf... ack! ] ...What, I found the dumb ears and tail like you guys wanted. Not keeping it though, too heavy.

[ Koga does not have the phrase "half-ass" in his dictionary. He figured he'll be in this sooner or later for shits and giggles anyway, he knows what life is like now with these guys. Somewhere, deep under the prickles is a sense of humor too (and secretly liking the outfit because a dog likes flashy things). ]

[fiddlestick]

[ When he hears Koga, he'll turn around to have a look. His eyes widen and then a smile comes across his face as he claps his hands together. That is really cute. ]

Hehe, if it was winter it'd be perfect! [But yeah maybe not so much for June] I really like the ears, they're so cute!

[roughplayer]

[ ELLIOT NO. It's hard to look intimidating in this though, despite Koga's harsh scowl. ]

Not cute! They're pretty accurate for ears though, bent a little so you don't easily mistake them for a fox or a cat... Wait that's not important right now!

[ Paws on his hips. Little does he know, Hound sticks as a codename after this for the cute long doggy ears. ]

What theme does the Hamilfan want for his getup? Else you're getting pigeonholed too.

[maskreant]

[ While they're talking, Akira is going to caress the side of Koga's hoodie thing with the back of his hand. So soft!!

Shhhhhhhhhh. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Elliot giggles. Nope sorry Koga, you're adorable. ]

Hm, maybe a musician theme? Oh, like a ye old bard! But nothing too flashy, or anything that'd make it hard to move.

[No one can pigeonhole you when you pigeonhole yourself!!]

[roughplayer]

[ NO ITS WORSE WHEN THE LOCAL CUTE THINKS THAT. Also he's gonna bat away that hand and shoot the offender a quick glare. ]

Ah, I should have known. Like those kinds in videogames with the magical music?

[ Hahahaha. ]

I can be the flashy one then! It's not like the people who shouldn't see us can, right? This is a high-end store, this stuff would be way out of style by the time I could afford any of it.

[maskreant]

[ You can stop him? Even when Koga bats them away, Akira zooms in to touch both ears. So soft. ]

I didn't know you wanted to be a star.

[fiddlestick]

[He watches the physical exchange between Koga and Akira. Ah yes...that's one more reason not to put on any animal stuff. ]

Aha, yep! Just like that!

[he's not sure he should mention he can DO magic like that, maybe later? It wasn't exactly a secret. He's taking off the halo though, putting it back on the shelf]

Hehe, I think flashy would be a good look for you! You have a very big presence.

[twostringsonebow]

And a very loud voice. Something flashy fits with the rest of us, I assure you, so please don't hold back.

[He's

he's found his cat ears and tail, thanks. He has a pair for Akira too, he's putting them on him.]

As for you, Elliot... If I may? I'm quite adept at putting together outfits, so I'd like to see if I can't piece together something spectacular that befits a musician like yourself. I promise, it won't have animal attachments. Akira's a terror.

[fiddlestick]

Oh- sure Goro! [he smiles] Hehe, with you I'm sure I'll be in good hands!

[Goro always seem classy and stylish, of course he'll trust him!]

[twostringsonebow]

[!!!!!!!!!!! He'll be right back after eyeing Elliot over, hold on..♪

... And return with both an outfit he's put together as well as a mask. When he thinks of flashy but elegant outfits, it just returns to the Victorian area of dress and anything inspired by it.]

[roughplayer]

Oh, that's pretty good, I was expecting coattails or something. Now Elliot's just gotta make sure to look good in it.

[ In the meantime, Koga changed out of fluff for... fluff again. But it's not so super fluff that he'll die of a heat stroke, and koga snagged some red polarized sunglasses to finish the look. ]

Not sure if it's star-like when those trends chase stupid fast, but a stage costume like this is meant to be memorable and easy to move in. Works for me.

[fiddlestick]

[he looks over the outfit that Goro returns with, looking impressed]

Oh wow, that does look good! I'll definitely try it on! Thanks Goro!

[Reaching out to take that outfit, he'll glance over to see Koga]

Oh you look great in that Koga! Hehe, it's perfect!

[maskreant]

Meow.

[ Akira keeps the ears on and just flaps Koga's fur pelt like a cape. ]

Koga looks pretty good and that seems pretty fitting for you, Elliot. I wouldn't expect anything less than a great pick from someone who wears $200 socks.

[ Sorry, Goro. He has to. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[He's

gonna hit Akira, very lightly.]

Don't make fun of me. [Smile smile!!!] Anyway, I'm glad you like it, Elliot, and I must admit, I'm rather surprised that you managed to find something so nice, Koga..♪ It suits you very well.

[Though. He'd probably switch the sunglasses to something else. His personal taste. Goro's just pleased that Elliot approves of the outfit.]

I'll cover expenses; as someone who models their wears from time to time, I have a special discount. Though I admit it isn't exorbitant.

[They Could just leave with them. But that wouldn't be right.]
