Been experiencing a number of break ins and thefts at the roost
Heard similar from some willful machine vendors
Hardware and things
Anyone else notice it

If its someone in a bind to fix something i have no problem helping
You dont have to resort to stealing
Just ask me
When the roost is open
At night please

[that said, he can also be found during the day there...cleaning up stuff that'd been disturbed in his absence and feeling out where he can put locks on things.]

They hit my store too!
I dare them to try it again though!
I've got so many booby traps set up now.

If you or anyone else wants some set up feel free to give me a shout.

[siriusly]

Id rather get some surveillance items
Just to see who it is
Got anything like that

[onekindsoul]

I have a net.
Or leg snares.
You can see who they are with those.
...Right?

[siriusly]

I guess so
Just nothing harmful or lethal you know
I would hate to hurt someone who is just desperate and doesnt know how to ask for help

[Action]

[icanhearscreams]

I saw him, you know.

[Jun is still in a sour mood, but he's at work at least. He should probably be at school but he can't face it without Falco.]

I might have broken his knee.

[He's just Tired.]

[siriusly]

Haa-?!

[Manabu's head pops out from the back room door, eyes big, gawking.]

Him who? Broken what now?

[onekindsoul]

Totally fair!

If they're in need of help I'd rather help them anyways.

And if they're a sleeper, killing them is just going to put us back to square one in a few days.

Catching them gives us a chance to ask them what's up and figure out what's going on from there.

[icanhearscreams]

The guy who stole from us.

I kicked him in the knee. I know I'm supposed to use it only in self-defense but defending the business is self-defense.

[Sensei might not agree, but they disagree on many things.]

[siriusly]

Exactly
Whatever the stuff is needed for is something that can be negotiated
What got pinched from your place

[siriusly]

[he steps out of the backroom over to him, looking him over for signs of injury.

he can't help but exhale with something of a "heh" in his breath.]

Didn't get any conversation out of him while you were doing that defending?

[icanhearscreams]

[He's perfectly fine. As fine as he can be right now... but he doesn't move as Manabu's fussing.]

Not really, no. I could try to draw a picture but... I'm better at drawing animals than people.

[onekindsoul]

Mostly tools or unfinished parts.
The big problem being is that I make weapons and ammunition.
So- Whoever has it now if they aren't careful could end up hurting themselves or other people.

[siriusly]

Same here
Mostly tools
Gotta get a new hammer and prybar now
But youre right
And maybe they know what theyre handling which is kind of worrying if its weaponry theyre after

[siriusly]

Hrmhh...

[he considers that, plopping a hand on Jun's head and giving his hair a bit of a ruffle.]

We might have to do a bit of a stakeout and see, huh?

[icanhearscreams]

[sldkfs. He pulls away from the ruffle and sighs.]

If they're hitting different places, they might not come back. If we can hear more places that got hit, we might be able to establish a pattern and figure out where they're going next.

[hachitaro]

Pardon me for jumping in, but who needs a prybar in this place?

[Said like he doesn't have one.]

[siriusly]

[unfazed, Manabu's hand withdraws to rub at his chin.]

And Ruby said weapon components got pinched at her place...Sounds like we have a walk a round Willful Machine and see if other hardware vendors got tagged yet.

[blink.]

...Tags... [he murmurs, making his way to the door to go outside and survey the outside of the building.]

[icanhearscreams]

Sounds like it.

[... Huh.]

I didn't see any graffiti when I came in...

[But who the hell needs such random shit?]

[siriusly]

Dunno
I keep one for cracking crates when they wash up on the beach
Or working through debris
Or kept one
Its gone now

[siriusly]

[while crouching and moving some dead plants hugging the side of the building:] And I haven't really had a mind to check for any until now...Hmmh...

[he stands back up, hands on his hips, looking up the side of the building.]

But it doesn't look like anything's been placed or marked here, huh?

[obeir]

What's been taken?

Are you there now?

[ K's responding while already on his way over and, thanks to the convenience of the lamps, arrives within a matter of moments to have a look around the Roost himself and assess the damage. ]

[siriusly]

Some of my tools and spare hardware
Yeah im here

[and he's still there when K shows up; he's greeted by Magnet first, as is tradition, but Manabu's easy to find out in the main room. he's pulled one of the storage crates out of the back room and is sorting things on the floor.

when he hears human footfalls with Magnet's tiptaps, he lifts his head.]

Uoh, hey. You didn't notice any marks or tags outside, did you? Jun and I looked around, but didn't see anything ourselves...

[icanhearscreams]

No, not that I can tell.

... I can tell you the thief had glowing eyes. I thought they might be corrupted, but I don't know.

[hachitaro]

Oh, I suppose that makes sense.

Sorry for barging in. It's just customarily a thief's tool where I'm from.

[convene]

What was taken?
Is everything else okay or did they vandalize it?
