2nd Steal // [Log]

Who: Rikku & You!
Where: Various places (besides Everglade)
Style: Starting in 3rd, but open to which ever. Most likely 1st though.
Warnings: Nothing at the moment besides Rikku possibly pick-pocketing you.

Ever since Yuna had been elected as City Guardian of Everglade, Rikku has obviously taken up the job of Deputy Guardian to help her cousin/best friend out. Unfortunately that also meant that Rikku had to keep her record clean from there on forward. She was more than happy to help out Yuna, just as she'd planned even when Yuna was just talking about if she had ran for City Guardian to her. She'd have her back, no matter what, but keeping from pick pocketing people and stealing was not that easy. It was in Rikku's nature to do so, after all....

What was a girl to do?

It was so hard to keep from doing so in Everglade, but Yuna never explicitly told her that she couldn't do it in any other city besides Everglade. And since that wasn't actually specified... She found herself in various places, pick pocketing various unknowing victims. To them, she just seemed like a bright, cheerful girl who was happy to help out or someone they "accidentally" bumped into.... Little did they know that she was filling her own pockets along the way.

"Oh, excuse me. I apologize for that," she said, maybe taking a wallet discreetly along the way. As if nothing happened, she continued onward.

Were you one of those victims? Or maybe you just happened to catch onto her?

Of course he was avoiding the question. Did she really expect an answer? Not really. At least now that blush has faded enough.

"There's a pretty nice cafe around here if you want to go there," she offered.

With her pockets lined now, she could probably pay. But.... Why pay when he had bills now. It's only appropriate that the guy pays, right?

She really shouldn't expect him to give her a straight answer when it was more fun to leave her to wonder.

"Good. You can lead the way." He said as he motioned for her to take the lead. "Your treat, by the way, Ms. Pickpocket."

"No fair. I worked hard for my bills, okay?" Because clearly pickpocketing people is hard, honest work.

Regardless of that fact, she lead the way, dismissing the last bit of his sentence. "You know, you should really be proud of me. Yunie is City Guardian of Everglade and I'm her Deputy Guardian," she said with a grin.

He followed along with her as she lead the way, he tucked his hands into his pockets as he did. "Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the guys missing their wallets don't think it is fair for you to take them."

But he wasn't going to make her return them. "I assume a City Guardian is just literally someone that looks after a certain city?" In this case, Everglade.

"Yeah well... We're not in Everglade right now and Yunie never specifically told me not to anywhere else. Besides, maybe they should have been watching their wallets more closely," she shrugged, walking on. "Pretty much, yeah. It's important spot. The place we live is pretty nice now since she's City Guardian, but there's a lot to do."

"I'm pretty sure they wouldn't think they have to watch it around a cute blonde girl." Rikku was probably one of the few people you would expect to be a thief.

"And yet you are here stealing from people instead of helping her with her work load? Or is this a common thing for deputies to do?"

Being called "cute" by anyone else was nice. Being called "cute" by Gippal though... made her feel happy. Not like she's going to let him know that though.

"I'm helping her... by getting more bills to spend. Besides, I do my share of work," she shrugged.

"So your idea of helping out someone who is protecting a city is to steal from people in other cities and give to her?" Because that just sounds..like a terrible idea, but it could probably work for all he knew.

With that, she shrugged, "Old habits die hard. Just be glad I don't steal in Everglade."

And about that time, the cafe in question comes into sight.

"I don't think I can be glad about that, since I'm living here at the moment." You know, since this city wasn't outside of her steal zone. Though he could move to Everglade and fix that.

"I guess you'll just have to watch your wallet more often, too. Not that you shouldn't have been aware of that already by this point," she said with a grin, approaching the cafe. ~~He really should~~.

"I think I can figure something out to stop you." Maybe just a basic chain on the wallet. That or keep it somewhere other than his pocket. He continues to follow along to the cafe, looking over the place slowly as they got closer.

"Good luck with that," this is Rikku that we're talking about after all. Who's to say she wouldn't find it even if you put it somewhere else anyways. Do you really want to find out?

Now realize you set yourself up for this comment, Rikku. "You find it that difficult to keep your hands out of my pants?"

And there's that fantastic shade of red that disappeared earlier making it's comeback. Yep. She sure did.

"Buy your own food!" Huffy face is a go as she opens the door to the cafe.

Gippal can't help but laugh at her reaction and he reaches out to gently grab her arm.

"W-Wait, Rikku." His laughing starts to die down some. "Wait. I just couldn't resist. I'm sorry." He's not, really.

Still giving him a huffy face, she rolled her eyes as a perky waitress hurried over to them.

"Hey! Welcome welcome! Just the two of you? Would you like a table or a booth? Ooh! I bet you'd like a booth! But a table is..." she said as she went on her own spiel.

She glanced to Gippal after looking to the girl. At least she's dropped the look she gave him a few minutes ago.

"Is this how I sound to you guys?" she asked him, dreading the answer. "I don't care. Whatever is fine unless he has any preferences."

Gippal leans a little close to her. "Sometimes. If you are really excited, you are a little worse."

He leans back into place and then gives a little shrug. "A booth is fine." Gippal honestly didn't have much preference, all he really cared about was the food. And the fact that Rikku would be paying for said food. When he actually had a job and stuff, he'd be happy to return the favor.

Even if she gives him crap sometimes, she'd still buy him food since he was new here. Or at least as far as Rikku knew.

Seeming to have not heard her comment, the waitress puts on a bright smile. "Alright! Follow me then!" she said as she grabbed two menus and led them to a booth. Once they were seated, she set the menus down.

"What can I start you guys out with? We have a great deal going on fo--" after a while, Rikku just tuned her out, looking at the drinks.

"I'll just take some water," she responded and then faced him, "I really don't think I'm that bad...."

“You can bring me a soda.” He said to the woman before shifting his attention back over to Rikku. “When you are hyper you can be. But normal non-hyper Rikku? You aren’t nearly as bad then.” And the fact that he thought Rikku was cute meant that even when she was hyper, he didn’t mind it.

“So what have you been doing since you arrived here? All I’ve done is look around this city and read up on a couple of things.”

With the waitress gone to get their drinks, Rikku shifted her attention back to Gippal. "And yet you deal with me," she said giving him a playful grin.

"Well... I wasn't really doing too much. I mean, before Yunie became City Guardian, I sort of just did random jobs and did what I could. It's kind of nice to have an actual job to rely on though," she shrugged.

And then a thought came to her causing her to put her hands on her head. "Oh god! I forgot to get some food for Sparke. I hope he won't be too mad at me when I get home....," she thought out loud.

Yuna said she'd watch him when Rikku was out though... She didn't think she'd run into somebody that she knew. Otherwise she would have brought Sparke along in his pokeball... one way or another. And then realizing that he probably didn't know what she was talking about or the fact that she even said that came to her. "Yeah so uh.. I have a pet now. We're slowly starting to get along. At least he won't shock me all the time now...," but..... considering her mishap... she might come home to a shocking experience again.

“What can I say? I’m a glutton for punishment.” He flashed her his own grin and then just relaxed in his seat and listened to what she had been up to. Gippal raised an eyebrow as she brought up the pet though. What sort of pet did she have that would shock her? And just how careful would he need to be around that thing so he didn’t get the same treatment when he met it?

“Sounds like you guys have had kind of an eventful time. Remind me to pick up some insulated gloves before I touch or pet whatever Sparke is.” He preferred being unshocked, thank you very much.

“I’ll have to find myself a job from what I know. I don’t think the money I have will last forever.” And Gippal didn’t want to hit a point where he was completely broke. Though if he did, he would just leech off of Rikku and Yuna for as long as he could until he got back on his feet or they stopped putting up with it.

"Yeah uh... I already have some. Let's just say the first month or two that I got Sparke, I used my gloves all the time," she let out a deep sigh. "Good thing I got over my phobia.... mostly....," she said giving a dry look to nobody in particular. Having a Pikachu as a pet for someone who had a lightning phobia was insane... Why did she still have him? He must have grew on her.

"It's called a Pikachu originally, but I guess he's a Pokemon? I don't know. It was from somebody's world where these creatures were normal there. They were all over for a month and then only a few actually stuck around as pets," she explained.

"Well, I'm sure you could probably find something. If you really need the help, I'll do what I can to help, but that doesn't mean it's an all out 'mooch off of Rikku' ticket, okay?" she said, making that clear. Of course, she couldn't just let him starve either. Damn it, why do you have to be so good looking, Gippal? Why does she put up with you man..?

Maybe she puts up with him because he’s nice, handsome, charismatic, can put up with her and wears an eyepatch? The eyepatch is probably the biggest factor.

“I’ll be borrowing those then.” That or he just wouldn’t touching the thing at all. “Yeah, its kind of surprising for you to have a pet that can do that knowing your fears.” But he assumed this pet was small, so maybe it was actually good for her to have it? To help her get over her phobia and all.

“Really? You won’t let me mooch off you forever? Maybe I should try my chances with this waitress, then. She might not mind giving me an all out mooch ticket.” He was kidding, of course.

“I’m a capable guy, I know I’ll be fine. But you got any suggestions?” He was good with machines, maybe he could get a job working with those somehow. This place seemed to have quite a bit of them.

That's debatable, but ladies love the eyepatch.

"I... Honestly don't know why I still have him. All I remember is demanding to know what kind of sick joke it was and how he'd follow me. I guess he grew on me somehow... He's still a little shit sometimes though....," she let out yet another sigh.

The waitress hurried over with their drinks, chipper as ever. "Have you guys decided what to eat? The Chicken Parmesan is to die for! Oh! Or how about some pie! We have the best pie around!"

Oh right... Something to eat... That's something they should have been looking for, "Oh uh... No, we'll need a few more minutes." Then she stopped for a moment. She knew he was joking.... probably...., "Oh and uh... Don't let strange men take advantage of you, okay?"

"No problemo! Just call me over when you're ready or I'll check up in a few minutes!" She said and then gave her a confused look. She must have decided it wasn't something to question since she went off on her way.

"No. In fact, after this, you'll have to buy your own food... And maybe something for me paying me back," she said. Even if she said it, she still probably wouldn't mind helping him out deep down. "You could possibly do something with engineering? Or just like doing a repair shop or something," she suggested, glancing at her menu in front of her finally.
