Story:

Jade looked around, tucking the heavy diamond under her wing, ooh where was the stranger? She thought back to earlier that day

... she had been sneaking towards the large building, the large hood obscuring her peripheral vision, she shifted slightly, glancing around but no guards were in sight, she paused, who was that? They certainly didn't look like a guard, hmm probably competition. She reached into her pack and silently grabbed her blowgun. She slid the dart in and inhaled, but the other Kymph's ears swiveled around. Jade blew the dart, but it was quickly dodged. A paper airplane flew her way. She unfolded it and it read, "Midnight, on the bridge. Come alone." She looked back up, but the stranger was gone. She tucked her wings closer to her body and slunk forward. She was soon inside the vault. Her large eyes hungrily scanning the riches lining the walls around her. She hissed in surprise as the unfolded paper airplane drifted to the ground. Alarms started blaring, in a panic, she grabbed the largest diamond and fled. Jade was chased for a while, but she soon managed to get them off of her tail ...


She looked at the sky, it should be around midnight, anxiously shifting from side to side. This might be a trap for all she knew ... until a pink "comet" crashed out of nowhere, landing silently in front of her--what a show-off. This Kymph was all roses and hearts. Was this really someone like her? Seeing her look, the stranger smiled wickedly. "Every rose has its thorns," she said, her icy voice cutting through the sky like a blade. Jade meekly nodded. Wait, she wouldn't let some nobody intimidate her! So she glared at her and questioned, "And who are you?" The stranger barked a cold laugh. "Right, like you haven't heard of me," she said sarcastically. Jade just shook her head, which caused the fellow thief to scowl. "Oh, well I'm Clepta," she said with a disapproving frown. Jade introduced herself and asked why they were meeting. She received a shrug, "Oh, just the usual." Jade raised her eyebrows. She got a sigh in return, "To trade, to plot, ya’ know that sort of stuff." Jade gave a nervous grin since she hadn't really interacted with her fellow criminals. She waited for Clepta to speak. "Watcha’ want for that mighty fine jewel ya' got there?" she inquired. Jade looked down at the diamond which she had almost forgotten about. Ooh what a stupid thing to steal! It was so recognisable! But if Clepta wanted it, she was sure they could make a trade. "Oh, uhh, umm." She stopped abruptly when Clepta held up a pendant, a vivid, inclusion-free emerald in a platinum setting. It was beautiful. The moonlight bounced off of it, making it seem magical. She gasped and found herself shoving the diamond at Clepta while snatching the pendant. She slipped it around her neck and smiled. Clepta grinned, "Meetcha’ here in a week?" she inquired. Jade hesitated but then nodded.

story: "midnight, on the bridge. come alone."

the shuffling of the note under the key to the coded language it was scrawled in was the only noise in the dead night; her trained steps were silent, and her tucked wings made no noise. her mind did wander a bit, though- it wandered to scoff. what kind of amateurs wrote down notes to pass along and kept keys for their secret little languages? it was ridiculous. too ridiculous to be a set-up, even; she had spoken to certain individuals she had... connections to as confirmation that this was real, of course, but surely someone setting up some fake plan would try a little harder.

whatever. made her job easier.

"alright. hand it over."

oh? they were here. wonderful.

the papers were hastily buried underneath a tree close to the bridge. not like she'd need it anymore; even if she did, it was easy to get them once, and she figured it wouldn't be difficult to get them twice. she inched forward, shifting the object strapped to her back as she took flight, naught but the slightest breeze signaling her deadly ascent. her sharp glare settled on the two at the bridge, an equally sharp smirk curving underneath her mask- she did quite enjoy her job, after all.

if she didn't, why would she do it?

... righteousness, she guessed. this was for the greater good. these were amateur criminals she was targeting, after all; they were a novice assassin and a client, from what she had gathered. what a burden.

she did enjoy the fun of her job, though. she enjoyed plummeting into someone, bashing them or pinning them down, letting them know that they couldn't slip by with their sneaky little antics... did that make her a criminal, too? she didn't really think so. if a killer kills a killer, the number of killers in the world stays the same, but not if more are taken care of. besides, she didn't always kill.

ah, whatever. she should get on with this. she had a meeting afterwards, anyways- not a serious meeting, but she still wanted to go. a little fun at a secluded restaurant with her... friends. comrades. sounded like a fun night, eh?

high above, she hovered, spying through the clouds with precision and locating the two dusky figures with ease. with moonlight dipping over her sleek form, she flapped, wings striking up before she flipped them down and dove.

and she dove, and dove faster, a pink-shot chrysocolla bullet headed straight for her targets. with honed swiftness and an expert maneuver, she twisted to reach and shove the object strapped to her back off- a baseball bat. snatching it in her front paws, she turned to see the fear-struck expressions of the two kymphs.

too late for them.

she swung the bat into one to knock them right off the bridge- the client, she assumed from what happened in the next blurred events. the other kymph attempted to tackle her, and she swerved, dropping the bat and dodging a strike she caught a glimpse of sharp metal from.

"ah, jeez," her sweet voice sighed as she rolled the bat underneath their feet, taking the opportunity of their stumble to push them down into the river with their client. she saw a few lapping waves of foam, and then... well, she didn't stick around. she figured that did the job.

the vigilante simply smiled under her mask, knocked the bat into the river, and took off. she had a nice nighttime outing to attend with the gang.
