[keysareforchumps]

Who: Crow and YOU! Well you if you're unlucky enough to be in the bank he's gonna rob.
What: BANK ROBBERY!

Where: Genessia City
Warnings: Villain tropes and explosions!
Notes: I will be posting an inside the bank option and an outside the bank option. Please mark which one you are responding to in the subject of your tag.

Waking up in a strange cocoon wasn't Crow's idea of a good end to his vacation. He had been lounging when he felt his eyes grow heavy. The next thing he knew, he was in a cove,
in a cocoon, and had to walk through water to get outside. He looked around the beach as he approached the newspaper stand and hologram. He grabbed the reading materials and quickly skimmed them as he listened to the welcome lecture.

What interesting technology. It wasn't unlike the comm system he had aboard the Sovereign. He listened to the repeating message another two times before he stuffed the flyers inside his armor and took off into the city. A job? Him? Ha! He wasn't about to get some two-bit job and earn money like a civilian or some hero. He needed money so he'd take it. As he listened to the woman on the hologram and read the information, an evil plan was already forming in his mind.

This would would be his. This world would be the seat of the New Crow Empire. He had nothing here but his brain and the armor on his back. Fine. He could work with this. First, he would need the money. Then he would need the power. Once he had power, he'd get minions. With all three of those things, he'd take the world. It was all too easy. Time to start phase one.

Inside the Bank

It was just a few minutes to closing. The lines were short and the tellers tired. The bank was closing in mere minutes and this was the perfect time to strike. Closing time meant storing things, putting away the money, and opening the vault. That was the moment Crow was waiting for. He hid outside the bank for most of the day, watching customers go in and out. The armor clad villain waltz into the building right at the stroke of five minutes to closing and tossed a grenade into the air. It exploded and blew a hole in the roof of the first floor. Crow held out his metal arm, the hole in the palm open and ready to launch another one.

"Alright! This is a bank robbery! Be good little victims and do as the evil villain says. I want all the money you can fit into this bag!" He held up a bag he found in the trash during his stakeout. He moved toward the tellers "Now, let's do this clean. Yeah? One lucky teller is going take me to the vault. I'm filling my bag and then I'll leave without causing any more damage. Sound fun? Good." He laughed as he grabbed one of the tellers with his metal hand.

"I choose you!"

Outside the Bank

He'd gotten the money! Now it was time for the getaway! Crow blew the doors off the front of the bank and ran out through the smoke. A few more thrown grenades exploded. They kicked up dust, smoke, and rocks. He ran down the street toward his chosen getaway spot. It was a sewer entrance just a few blocks away. He could make it to the manhole, he was sure. Then he just had to rip the metal plate off the hole, jump in with his money, and he could escape into the dark filthy tunnels of this city. A perfect plan.

Sure, a bank heist was small time. He knew this but he had to start somewhere. He couldn't build an empire without money. He justified it was building the foundation of his evil reputation in this city. Everyone had to start at the bottom.

outside!

[pumpkinmagic]

It was a lovely evening for a nice stroll. It hasn't been a week since her stay and she had to window shop before it was time to call it a night. Just a cross the street, Blair heard a loud BANG and froze. The purple cat with her witch-like hat watched the scene taking place.

She blinked when she saw a strange guy running with a bag? What was he taking? Small as Blair was, it wouldn't surprise her if he ran right past her. For her, it was a nice advantage. Blair hopped on the large bag and held on tight with her claws.

"Hey mister?" Blair called out behind him while riding. "What you doing?"

Re: outside!

[keysareforchumps]

Crow indeed did run right past Blair. He felt the slight increase of weight on his loot bag. He looked back at Blair. A talking cat? Huh. He'd seen weirder. He'd kidnapped weirder for that matter. At least it wasn't an evil dwarf princess trying to ride him like a horse. Improvements all around.

"I'm a Super Villain and I'm committing a crime. What does it look like?" He asked. Seriously, did it look like he wasn't robbing the bank? If it did, he needed to work on improving the image of his evil actions. Social impact and reach was important for a super villain.

Re: outside!

[pumpkinmagic]

While Crow gloated about himself, Blair clawed her front paws on the bag a couple time, filing them cat-like. "Oh? It looks like you were running away with a bag over your shoulder."

Blair looked down at the bag, inspecting it, and still filing. "Oh~ so something important is in this thing," Blair commented. Was she making holes on it already? Probably.

Re: outside!

[keysareforchumps]

"HEY!" He saw that, you stupid cat! And unfortunately for Blair, Crow carried things with his human arm. This left his metal arm free. He swung the bag in front of him and threw a punch right for the hat wearing cat. The cat in the hat.

He always hated that book.

Re: outside!

[pumpkinmagic]

This cat in the hat was different, and better.

Uh oh, the idea already nailed him sooner than Blair thought. That's okay, Blair had always trolled with villains, or anyone that deserved it really. Blair hung on when he tossed the bag in front. But when she saw that metal arm coming in, Blair jumped up avoiding the attack.

"Woah!"

She landed back on the bag again.

inside

[guitar_hero]

He happened to be somewhat nearby when the explosion called his name louder than any voice could. He dumps the fairy floss he was chewing on in the trash and meanders into the bank, taking a moment to scope out the scene before seeing the teller being molested by quite a violent toothed creature. At least he had a little flair.

He makes his way over and cautiously steps between them, not wanting anyone to get an accidental grenade in the face.

"Why not take me? I'm a much better hostage. John Smith. Bank manager. Nice to meet you."

Re: inside

[keysareforchumps]

Crow stopped and looked at the old man. God he was old. Look at that turkey neck. Still, he listened to him. Bank Manager huh? He looked from the old man to the teller and back again.

"Oh? Are you a good manager or just one in title? Can you open the vault?" He asked as his metal hand released the teller and pointed a large metal finger at John Smith. He kept grinning despite the interruption. Dark eyes ran over the old man's clothes before they snapped back to his face. He would wait for an answer before he decided to grab the man or not.

inside

[guitar_hero]

"Of course I can open the vault. Can't I?" The teller nods at this and he looks back at the robber. "See? Perfectly capable. So why don't you take me down there, I'll get you what you want, and no one gets hurt."

Re: inside

[keysareforchumps]

Crow looked from the teller to the old man. The metal arm grabbed the front of Mr. Smith's jacket and pulled him close.

"Alright then. Kidnapping you should be easier anyway. Old people tend to be light," He said before he swiped the old man off his feet and put him on his shoulder.

"Now then. Let's go to the vault. It's downstairs, right? All banks keep their vaults downstairs." Crow aimed his hand at the floor and launched another three grenades. The exploded, blowing a large hole in the floor. The villain jumped down with the old man on his shoulder.

"MWAHAHAHAHA!"

Inside!

[foxcurls]

Helgi was not having a good day, he woke up in the box, and to make his way though the soggy bay and the around the city trying to figure out if this was real, some kind of trip or if he'd just cracked. And now, just as he decided he should get a bank account some purple super villian wannabe robs it!?

He put his hands up like a good little bystander while the thief grandstanded but once he turned to deal with the tellers he threw himself forward, intending to knock the guy down.

Re: Inside!

[keysareforchumps]

Crow wasn't going to pay the fox boy any mind at first. He was just another bank customer who would shiver in the corner. That was, until he tried to play the hero. Crow was used to moving fast and dodging things and people. Hell, he'd tested all of his own spiky death traps on himself to make sure they were good enough for the heroes! Despite how heavy the armor looked, Crow used a standing jump to leap right over Helgi and landed behind him.

"Civilians shouldn't try playing hero. You're just going to get yourself hurt," Crow commented as he landed.

"Sit down like a good hostage. Or I'll make an example out of you for the rest of these scared people."

Re: Inside!

[foxcurls]

Helgi didn't say anything to Crow's threats. Instead he just kicked out trying to knock Crow's feet out from under him.

He didn't think he could beat Crow after seeing how he moved, But that wasn't his goal. He was just trying to distract Crow long enough for help to arrive. Surly the tellers or someone would have pressed the panic button by now.

Re: Inside!

[keysareforchumps]

The feet hit metal but Crow was used to swords, bullets, and the occasional goose bazooka. The foot of a little fox? That didn't even make him move. He stared down at the little fox and waited. His grin spread wider as he reached down and grabbed Helgi's angle with his metal hand. He pulled up, intent to pick the fox up and hold him by his ankle.

"Well? I'm waiting? Are you going to leave me hanging? Huh?" Yes, it was a pun but it was an EVIL pun.

"Where is your heroic banter? You're playing the hero, aren't you? A hero has to throw witty banter at the villain. It's tradition!"

Outside

[swordprincess]

Karla was just finishing one of her later patrols in the city. She was just approaching the bank, intending to walk past it when the door suddenly exploded in front of her. Jumping back with a start, she instantly drew her sword, waiting to see what would happen next. She could barely make out the figure dashing through the smoke, carrying a bag. Her instincts quickly told her that this guy was up to no good, so she silently ran after him, sword in hand.

Re: Outside

[keysareforchumps]

While Karla was silent, Crow was not. As he ran out of the smoke he let out his evil laugh.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" He threw back his head as he laughed. It was hilarious. This heist was going off without a hitch. All he had to do now was escape down into the sewers! If only he knew he had a quiet ninja on his tail. He was too proud of himself to look back. Run forward and never backtrack. Unless you know there is a hidden chest somewhere. Then backtrack.

Outside

[swordprincess]

Does this guy really think it's that funny? Karla thought to herself as she continued to pursue the figure. She wondered if he was even aware that she was on his tail. She was about to yell at him, but decided against it. Perhaps she could knock him out with one stroke and turn him in...if only she could catch up to him. She had to hope that he would either stop or slow down soon, and that she could keep up her stamina until then...

Re: Outside

[keysareforchumps]

Crow did come suddenly to a sliding stop. He bend down and grabbed the manhole cover he'd chosen for his escape route. Of course, this let him hear something he didn't pick up on before. Footsteps. He turned and grinned at Karla. Metal fingers dug into the manhole cover and with one pull, he ripped it open.

"You trying to be some hero?" He asked, still holding the manhole cover. She was running right for him. He wanted to see just what she would do.

OUTSIDE

[fukkinawesome]

IT'S PAYDAY. Gotta get money, gotta buy so much nutella. It's important, now that he's figured out where Bane hides all the fucking kitchen implements. He has a point to make, thanks.

After all the merc had a lot of disposable cash now, what the fuck else was he supposed to do with it?

Save it?

That's hilarious.

And he was almost there too, when one explosion later, what almost struck him as a walking Nexium pill scampered out the front of the bank, sack of money in hand.

what

no what was that

what

WAIT

"... shit some of that is my money, isn't it."

SHIT.

"HEY. DUDE. BRO." NO. That's the click of a semi automatic being loaded, armor or not he can see a face. If he can see a face he can shoot a face

"GIMME MY MONEY!"

Re: OUTSIDE

[keysareforchumps]

Crow wasn't about to stop running. He had a bag of money over his shoulder and left the revolving door of the bank spinning in the middle of the road. He heard screams and crying before. Still, the unmistakable clicking of a gun caught his attention. He looked over his shoulder to look at the idiot covered in red and black latex...with a gun. That's a rather dangerous hero weapon. Maybe he was an anti-hero. Or a fellow villain who was going to hit up the bank but lost out?

In that case.

"HAHAHAHAHA! You were too slow! The money is mine!" He slammed the helmet shut and turned down an alleyway. You wanna shoot him? Get running, idiot.

Re: OUTSIDE

[fukkinawesome]

Running is for squares, daddio.

One blue flash later and there's a hail of bullets from the end of that alleyway instead.

"PUT IT BACK, I ONLY GOT TWENTY FOUR HOURS LEFT ON THE NUTELLA SALE."

Not exactly a battle cry of the ages, but when there's a six foot two body builder in a full body leather gimp suit charging at you down an alley way with a blazing gun, the words that come out of his mouth are sort of just so much sound.

Re: OUTSIDE

[keysareforchumps]

"NO!" Bullets were not Crow's friend. He didn't like bullets. They took down his health meter and he only had six of those, you know. He quickly dove behind a dumpster and tried to think. Teleportation powers were a pain in the ass but he had tricks up his sleeve. Or arm. He popped out a few grenades and slid them under the dumpster.

They blew and sent the dumpster flying through the air and right at Deadpool. You got a gun. He has a dumpster. Shoot that out of the air.

INSIDE

[brinewitch]

Kani, obnoxious creature that he was, didn't accept paychecks.

He'd become fussy and got his money all paid in cash thanks. There was absolutely no reason for him to be in the bank. He didn't even keep it there, no he stuffed that into about a dozen various hiding holes in his room.

So what was he doing here?

Well just moments prior to Crow fucking everything up like a fucker, Kani had been in the process of energetically flirting with one of the tellers.

He'd been doing such a good job too, there was a date planned and everything!

But no, nope. No such luck, now she's screaming under the desk, there's a hole in the ceiling and some sharky looking asshole with a metal arm is making demands.

Rude. RUDE.

And Kani was nothing if not an impulsive creature, which was probably why Crow would find the date placard on the central check table thrown at his stupid, stupid head.

"Hay! People are tryin' ta talk in here, buzz off!"

Re: INSIDE

[keysareforchumps]

Crow just laughed as he approached the teller counters and looked over at the man. Bright red bandana, make up, a top hat and fancy clothes? He was either a rich man or a fruit loop. Either way, he didn't care. He just grinned at him, flashing bright and sharp teeth.

"I'm robbing the bank. Be a good hostage and get on the floor. The sooner everyone gives me what I want, the sooner I leave."

Re: INSIDE

[brinewitch]

Tonight on 'I Forgot I Was a Mythical Creature', Kani completely ignores the prompt to get on the ground.

No, instead he goes and hucks the pen holder at Crow. FIGHT HIM.

"Show you hostage, Jabberjaw! Scram!"

He'll remember he's magic.

Give him a minute.

[keysareforchumps]

A pen? That was all this pirate could muster? Fine. Crow turned to look at Kani directly before he suddenly threw a massive metal punch. You want to play with the big boys? Fine. He'll treat you like a big boy.
