Preparing for the Heist Part 1

(on Nightshade Island, Dusk Town. In the home of Rob Nemesis five friends are plotting)

Ratlin: Rob. Rob. Rob!

Nemesis: I’m listening Ratlin, what is it?

Ratlin: I’m explaining the plan! You haven’t been paying attention.

Nemesis: Sorry, can you start over?

Hawkeye: Hey, frikkin pay attention this time.

Shadow: Seriously.

Nemesis: Calm down guys. Go on Ratlin.

Ratlin: Alright, so here it is. If we want to become pirates, we’re gonna need some money. The bank is a good place to break into, but the security is too tight. That’s why a noble’s house is much easier. And we all know which noble to choose.

Nemesis: Ballis.

Ratlin: Exactly. Now obviously we need to take some preemptive measures. Zanbato, I’ll need you to pose as a guard so you can let in me and Nemesis.

Zanbato: Got it.

Ratlin: Shadow, you’ll sneak in through the back entrance. I presume your cloaking device has been perfected.

Shadow: Of course. No one will be able to see me or even hear me.

Ratlin: Perfect.

Hawkeye: So what am I supposed to do?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Hawkeye, you won’t be directly connected to the heist. We’ll need you to stay on the rooftops and provide cover for us if needed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Hawkeye: I’ve got plenty of ammo. This should be fun.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: So once we’re inside, we meet up with Shadow and steal the goods right?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: That’s the basic idea. We’ll need Shadow’s help eliminating any guards that are inside.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Shadow: That’s why they call me the silent killer.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: So we don’t get to have any fun?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: That’s not true. If anything goes wrong inside, you and me will have to do some serious fighting.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Yeah but we also gotta steal the goods.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Right, our primary mission is to steal anything of value so we can sell it later.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Sounds good. You guys better get out of here before anyone thinks we’re up to something.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Hawkeye (getting up): Even though we are up to something.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Don’t breathe a word of our plan to anyone. If I hear about it, I’ll.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Hawkeye: I get it. My lips are sealed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Zanbato: …………..Later (he, Hawkeye, and Shadow leave)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: There’s not need to be so rude, Rob. We’re all friends were.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Don’t lecture me! You sound like my father.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Your father was a good influence on you. But you chose a different path, like me.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: My father was a marine. He abandoned our family. If I didn’t steal food and money for my mom and I, we would’ve died.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: I remember that day vividly.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Did you just pickpocket that guy? Nemesis: Shut up! Do you want me to get caught?

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: No. I steal things too. I’m an orphan with no money.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: I’m pretty much an orphan. My mother is sick and my father left us to join the marines. I hate those guys.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Me too. My father was a pirate who got captured by the Marines. Now he’s probably in Impel Down somewhere being tortured.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Sounds rough, I’m Rob Nemesis. Ratlin: I’m Ratlin. Let’s help each other, Rob.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Yeah, not a bad idea. Two thieves are better than one.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Ratlin: Exactly. Maybe one day we can get off this rock and start a new life as pirates.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: Being a pirate would be awesome. Let’s save up some money and make that our goal.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">(back in present day)

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Nemesis: We’re so close. Let’s not mess this up.
