[OOC] Let Me Steal Your Heart [BuzzingBee + Dagger]

[BuzzingBee]

Aw dang, hopefully you get better quick!

At least monday works out pretty well for us then xD

[Rogue Sloth]

Thanks! It's looking like it won't be too bad, so I should survive the blizzard lol

We'll have most of Saturday and Sunday too, even if I do go out with my friends. Our plans aren't until like 6pm on both days, I think, so I'll have time before and after ^^

[BuzzingBee]

That's good XD

True! And even some of tomorrow actually. My plans got pushed to a little later so I might have some more free time than I originally thought xD

[Rogue Sloth]

Sweet. I get to take some more of your time, ha ha >:D
Just kidding. I hope you have fun with your friends tomorrow!

Also, if Crow and Penelope sleep together again, we can just skip over it, since it's nonessential for this part

[BuzzingBee]

Yep! xD
Thanks!

Ok! I went ahead and threw in the skip. Penelope's getting bold XD

[Rogue Sloth]

Crow really likes it xD

Their next meeting isn't going to be nearly this peaceful though lol

[BuzzingBee]

Honestly it's going to be the exact opposite xD

[Rogue Sloth]

Crow may be inadvertently saving Penelope's life here, but she'll probably think he was doing it on purpose after Jaxon's group kills all the guards ^^;

--

EDIT: I just had an interesting idea: What if Jaxon blackmails Crow into helping him stay hidden from the knights?

Hear me out. Jaxon would have learned that Crow was in the outer villages by overhearing conversations about him by the local knights. Initially, he wants to hunt him down to collect the bounty on his head, since it's basically worth a small fortune at this point, but his plans change when he manages to track him down and finds him with Penelope (I would guess he'd either catch them in an intimate moment or overhear them talking or both).

Jaxon is a patient man, so instead of killing Crow right away, he decides to use this knowledge to force Crow to help him evade the knights so he and his thieves can continue sabotaging them for the Younisians. Basically, he would threaten to kill Penelope if Crow tells anyone where he is, and Crow would listen to him because he knows Jaxon is more than capable of doing it. Once he's through using him, Jaxon still plans to kill him for the bounty, but Crow has no idea, so he wouldn't even realize he's in danger too.

I feel like it could add an unexpected twist to when Crow and the other thieves are working with Penelope and the knights to hunt down Jaxon's group, because Crow would be working as an unwilling double agent and throw them off course.

[BuzzingBee]

I just got back home so I'll try to get my reply up soon! c:

And definitely cx it's going to make her feel super guilty for listening to him

Ooooo I like it that idea :D
I feel like Gavin will probably be amongst the first to catch onto him, since he'll already be distrusting of the thieves and kinda still think it was their fault even though he's working with them. plus he'll be quick to jump at any reason to make Crow the bad guy xD

[Rogue Sloth]

Good timing lol I just got home from running errands this morning ^^

I was thinking the same thing actually lol It would be interesting if Gavin figures Crow out first, but no one believes him because he didn't trust him from the start. Also, Crow wouldn't explain himself to Gavin because he would be worried Jaxon would find out somehow and kill Penelope because he said something. So he would definitely come off looking really sketchy

[BuzzingBee]

Oh nice xD

Cool lol that's about what I had in mind. I imagine him trying to get Penelope and Olivia on his side and it just not working xD Olivia already doesn't like him that much anyways and Penelope would just think he's trying to get between her and Crow. it'll be a real shocker for her when she finds out Gavin was actually telling the truth cx

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm very excited for this part xD
Also, poor Crow lol He keeps getting caught in the middle of things he wants nothing to do with

[BuzzingBee]

Same xD
Honestly poor guy lol

[Rogue Sloth]

If the seven deadly sins were a thing in this RP, Crow's vices would definitely be pride and lust ^^;
He's got an ego because of how good he is at thievery, and he kind of walked into the other one because of his past habits
At least he's self-aware enough to keep them both in check though

--

EDIT: I'm going out with some friends to see a movie soon, so I'll be gone until like 9PM my time. Just a heads up :)

I already wrote out most of my next reply though, so it won't take too long to post when I get back

[BuzzingBee]

I could see that xD
Idk what Penelope's would be lol I'd go with envy or maybe even sloth. Envy because I see her letting it affect her more than she shows and sloth only a little because I don't think she takes a lot of initiative even though she does work hard.

Ok! c: Have fun!

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah, I don't know which ones would fit her. I think her biggest struggles are with her insecurities, since she seems to blame herself for a lot. I don't think I'd peg her with any of the seven if I was judging.

Crow's a little more straightforward xD
I don't know if I would call him a simple man, per say, but he's definitely not as emotionally complex as Penelope is

[BuzzingBee]

Yeah Penelope's bad when it comes to her insecurities xD
Honestly the only thing I think she's like confident enough in is her swordsmanship cx which is why not being a knight does kinda freak her out

And speaking of blaming herself, boi is she going to feel bad about Millicent ^^;

[Rogue Sloth]

It'll be a twist when Crow's offered the job as ambassador by his father xD
I'm curious to see how Penelope will react

It's about to begin

[BuzzingBee]

Honestly xD
Yeah cx I imagine she's going to be excited but she'll worry Crow won't be happy with that life so she'll be really conflicted lol

Let the chaos begin!

[Rogue Sloth]

Sorry it's taking me a while to get a reply up. It's been a crazy morning ^^; Both my husband and I were in separate mild car accidents because the roads are so icy. It's like freaking bumper cars up here lmao
No one got hurt and our cars are only a little dented. It's just been wild xD
Oh, the joys of winter

I'll get started in a few minutes!
