the akira kurusu experience ([personal profile] maskreant) wrote in [community profile] recolle2018-06-10 12:32 pm

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

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.

Yeah, that's what I thinking. Better to leave no trace at all.

[He moves to that other screen though.]

Sure, I'll do that. They went in about five or ten minutes before us?

Hmm... I'll need to figure out which cameras cover the route they took as well. Two pairs of eyes will definitely be better for this.

[ There's a lot of things to think about. How long must it take for people to sort through footage like this when they don't know what they're looking for? ]

Five to ten minutes... we might need to double check. I'm fairly sure that Akira will have avoided being seen, but... it won't hurt to be thorough.
fiddlestick: (hmmm)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-07-19 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yea....good thinking. Oh! Could you get a map of the building as well? That'd help us narrow down where they went.

[He starts rewinding footage]

I'm not so worried about Akira, he's done this before...or at least in his other life's memories. I am a little worried about Koga though. I feel a little bad how we basically dragged him into this.

[ He's an artist not an IT engineer, Elliot. But he'll do his darnedest. ]

Map... map...

[ Ah, here we go. There's something about floor plans. Noted, and he'll put that to one side for the moment. Better to sort the footage first, and then go back to the map. ]

He'll look out for Koga. He always did for us as well, and while I don't remember most of the individual palaces we went through, I have a feeling he is good at keeping an eye on those under his wing in dangerous situations. As long as Koga isn't overly reckless, he'll be fine.

[Elliot looks over at the floorplan, examining it to try to guess what routes the others might've taken]

Well I know Akira will look after him, no question of that! I'm just worried because Koga's so new to the app and Akira can sometimes have...too much faith in his friends' abilities.

[Like you know, like the time he shot me]
fabrefactions: (67)

[personal profile] fabrefactions 2018-07-21 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah yes like that time he shOT ELLIOT. ]

Well... I hope he would have a little more care. Koga has no fighting skills whatsoever, here or in his memories from what I gather.

...

Still, I will have faith in them. They seem to have avoided the cameras as far as I can see though, so that's a good start.
fiddlestick: (hmmmmm)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-07-22 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that is a good start, true...

[he keeps watching his own videos on fastforward, trying to get glimpses of them when he notices]

Oh great, there's guard dogs patrolling.
fabrefactions: (65)

[personal profile] fabrefactions 2018-07-22 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ priceisrightlosinghorn.mp3 ]

Ah, right. Animals were exempt from vanishing, weren't they?

[ Well, the doors are shut here so they should be ok but... ]

Is there any way to get a message to them? There are ways we could distract the dogs, but if they don't know to look for them...
fiddlestick: (dot dot dot)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-07-23 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[He thinks about it]

I don't know. We could try texting, but if any of them left their ringer on, it might give away their position.
fabrefactions: (82)

[personal profile] fabrefactions 2018-07-23 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yet if we don't inform them somehow and they are caught off guard...

[ He lifts a hand to his chin and taps it thoughtfully. ]

Which is better? I do not want to put them in danger.
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-07-24 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Um...I don't know...

[he watches the camera, pretty worrying until-]

Oh! Look! [He points to the camera as this happens]

Haha, guess I should've figured Koga would know how to handle dogs...
fabrefactions: (63)

[personal profile] fabrefactions 2018-07-24 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Bless Koga for his skills with puppers. ]

That takes the worry off a little. [ Phew. ]

I suppose the best we can do for them now is clear any images of them and find that map. [ Now he's found the footage, he can pause for a moment - so he's bringing up the map and beckoning Elliot over. ]

It looks like we're here-- [ He taps a knuckle on a room towards the centre of the building. ] and if we follow the path Akira and Koga took, I would assume they are somewhere around here. [ He points a little further along, to the far right of where they are. ]

Maybe?
