[This is Elicia, looking ashamed, puffing out her cheeks; whelp, she dun did it. She stole. She committed a crime and would surely be locked up in the tunnels for life, grow a beard, make friends with the rats there. Yes. Especially with the discovery of the bag of goods in her closet. For a week she ate nervously at dinner, stopped her mom from putting clothes away before hiding the bag further back, under some blankets. She paced by the door, hand on chin, brow furrowed. She tossed and turned, dreaming of the stolen things hopping out to confront her. Awake in a cold sweat, pleading with the stars to unburden her from this paaaaaain.

HER SHAME WAS STRONG AND HER HEART HEAVY.

So here she is.]

Um... A while ago, I... took some people's things. I-I didn't mean to! I don't know why I did it--I thought I was a really cool thief who stole for good reasons! But I guess I wasn't really and it was all in my head... I have all the stuff still, though. Right here!

[She lets the camera pan over all the things she's stolen. Yep, look at all that stuff.]

I snuck out and took these, a-and I feel real bad about it. But if you come over, I can give it back! Mama and papa says that's the right thing to do, always, to give back anything you take...

I'm sorry! Really, really, really, really sorry! I'll make it up to everyone, I promise!

((ooc: stuff stolen is here for reference! thanks for all the volunteers you can still sign up for that if you wanna and then reply to this post, if it interests you and you thought you missed out. |D))

B-but stealing's still not right or nice! 'Specially cus I took some things that people would have been really sad to lose...!

But what if you only steal from people who aren't nice?

Mmm.... I... guess maybe....

[this is a toughie]

Are they villains?

Kind of. Its not always clear who the villains and heroes are, but the villains are always really bad. That's why it's okay to steal from them.

... I guess so...

[CONFLICTED EMOTIONS.]

Do you steal from bad guys a lot?

Bad guys are the only ones I steal from. I'm...kind of a really cool thief back home--but don't worry. I haven't stolen from anyone here.

[Yet.]

Ooooh! Well, that's good.

Do all the thieves in your world have those funny hairdos on their faces, too??

You mean my sideburns? [He scratches at one thoughtfully.] Uh...no, but they're pretty darn snazzy, don't you think? More men should have them!

Yeah!! Because then you can keep your face warm when it's cold outside!

[I want sideburns too, they're swank!]

[Lupin laughs at this--oh so innocent!]

Yep, they totally do! I also just like the look of them. They're pretty classy, I think.

Classy? Does that mean you wear them at school?

Eh? Uh..no~ It means that they look cool.

Yeah, I guess they do!

I don't think I can get those, though. My hair doesn't grow like that...

You don't need to worry about that, Elicia-chan. Girls can do things with their hair that are much cooler than sideburns!

Like pigtails!

[THOUGH A LOT OF BOYS AROUND HERE COULD PULL IT OFF TOO

THEY'D LOOK CASH

JUST SAYIN']

That's right! Like pigtails!

[Pity Goemon's not here--it would look so cash on him!]
