[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))

[WHAT HEY those are the training weights she just got from Kotetsu on her birthday!!! YOU LITTLE SNEAK HDU --

-- okay no Pao-Lin's mostly just perplexed. It's not like she doesn't have other training weights, after all. But those ones that Tiger got her were pretty damn snazzy.]

When did you take my training weights?

[...Elicia might not know what those are by name alone. OR MAYBE SHE DOES. SHE'S A SMART KID.]

U-um. I think you left your door unlocked that day...

[BLUSH GOD I FEEL LIKE SUCH A CRIMINAL]

[YOU ARE A SMOOTH CRIMINAL ELICIA]

Well...I guess I should've been more careful about locking my door, then. [SEE LOOK IT'S TOTES NOT YOUR FAULT KID, A HERO SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER]

I'm really sorry! [BLURTED SO DRAMATICALLY] I was supposed to be a hero like you, but a hero would never do such an awful thing!!

Aww, it's okay! I'm not mad at you, and I don't think anyone else is. [If they are she is going to taze the fuck out of them] And at least you're giving the stuff back! A hero would definitely do that, if they ended up stealing something.

I guess so--it's really important to give back anything you take...

I'll try harder and be a better hero, that way you guys can be proud of me!

You don't have to worry, Elicia -- I'm already proud of you. And I'm sure your parents and your friends are, too, for owning up to your mistake and trying to make up for it.

[/)_(\]

Th-thanks, Miss Pao-Lin! I'll try to keep being someone you'll be proud of!

I'm sure you will. Is it okay for me to drop by later and pick up my stuff, then?

[A nod!]

Mhmm! Me and my mama and papa'll be here!

All right, I'll see you soon! I'll even bring cookies for you from the bakery. [Just in case the girl needs more incentive to feel better.]
