( Spain never asked for his sword to be enchanted to do this magical phantasm thing but it's his sword so he can't really toss it out. Whatever, he'll have a priest exorcise it later. For now, there are more important things to take care of!

In the middle of the Ironwall District, Spain will be creating quite a scene. He's stopping random people and trying to get them to listen to him. Whatever he has to say, it looks like it's very urgent given the way he's acting. )

Hey! ¡Ay! Listen! Are you listening? YOU THERE! Stop what you're doing! This is an important announcement from the Red Dragons!

( Scarlett Dragons, Spain. He'll get it right eventually. )

There's a thief on the loose! A terrible one! And you know who you are.

( Dramatic pause. )

WHY ARE YOU STEALING UNDERCLOTHES?! Stealing isn't very nice, you know! Those underclothes belong to someone else and not you! Why do you even want them? Someone else has already worn them! Turn yourself in or stop right now or else you'll be in trouble!

[conquistador]

Because I'm talking to a lot of people!

... At once!

[conquistador]

( Please help him because he needs all the help he can get tbh. )

No.

... Do you?

( Spain shut up shut up. )

[lovesmash]

( DID HE JUST-- )

You've got guts, asking a lady that kind of thing...!

( she's weighing the pros and cons of this in her head. on one hand, he does seem to be the only proactive person taking on this case, and there's no way in hell iva is going to let some sick perv run around stealing underwear from women live. on the other, gOSH DANG SURRENDERING HER UNDIES TO THIS GUY IS JUST ALL KINDS OF NOT OKAY IN HER BOOK.

maybe if she...tests his competence a bit more...to see if he's not completely useless... )

So what if I do? I could just lure the thief in myself with them, you know. If you know any worthwhile information though, maybe I'll help you out.

( she's doing it for her family.....FOR HER FAMILY............ )

[vaporwear]

[...Because Ms. Fanservice?]

Oh, I am glad then. [Alisa sighs in relief, before she raises an eyebrow in question.] For real?

[conquistador]

Well, if everyone takes better care of their things now, the thief might give up.

[volcanic]

No, you're not.

[ourparadise]

Well..thank you, I'll keep that in mind? Is it everywhere? Or just one guild? Surely someone stealing can't do this to every guild...

action.

[caches]

Huh.

[ gaius is going to have to stop what he is doing to take a look at this riot. whoever this guy is, he's actually curious about what he has to say.

after giving the stranger a few minutes to just.. chill... he'll rear up behind him and give a friendly tap before a loud suck can be heard on the sucker in his mouth. ]

Unless there's more than one panty thief on the loose, I think we're looking for the same guy, pal. Or girl. We can't discriminate.

[beat]

I dunno, if I were some masked vigilante with a knack for undergarment theft, I'd be less stupid with my actual thievery. Y'know, now that I've got people preaching the written word this side of Goldvale—thou shall not steal underclothes—I'm pretty sure keeping everything on the down low would benefit me in the long run. Hypothetically speaking.

[vaporwear]

Hopefully. [Although she personally doubts it.] Have you found any leads, so far?

[Curious. Not that she's actually wearing one right now but...]

[buildyourworld]

Be quiet! If the thief is nearby, he would have heard you and run away! [Tieria snaps at him, very clearly annoyed with how loud he is. It's annoying enough to be out and about catching a panty thief, he doesn't need his guild mate announcing it on top of his lung.] It's Scarlett Dragons, get the name right already.

[conquistador]

... I assumed it was everywhere.

( ... But he isn't really sure now. )

[conquistador]

( he shakes his head no. )

The opposite. The mystery has grown.

[conquistador]

But if you were the thief and you kept stealing after being warned once, you would still be a fool, no?

[conquistador]

I am, look!

( ... And the crowd he amassed before is gone. )

...

[volcanic]

[ Just. This face. ]

[conquistador]

( ...

Is this what it feels like to be judged. Spain hasn't felt this way since Isabel and Ferdinand... )

... What?!

[volcanic]

...You look like you're doing a great job.

[conquistador]

Ah, I didn't mean it like that.

( Spain isn't really interested in what kind of lingerie you're into, lady. Please! He's innocent! )

Hmm... According to the guild, it began in the last few weeks. So the thief probably isn't anyone who arrived this week. The thief is definitely a native!

1/2

[conquistador]

( Oh.

Was that... )

[conquistador]

( -- a compliment? )

Thank you.

[volcanic]

Uh, that wasn't-- nevermind. [ He shrugs it off. God what a plebe. ]

[conquistador]

( Spain turns around. )

It's a guy.

( He sounds so sure. )

[conquistador]

If the one running away is the thief then I'll catch him! ( And beginning to look over the crowd now. Nope, no one is really running. )

... That's what I said.

[conquistador]

Are you looking for the thief too?
