video; backdated to the morning of the 14th
[Once again, Tony's all business and all sourpuss. But this time, he's just gotten out of bed: his hair's still sticking up in places, and careful viewers might notice that he's presently missing an ear. This week's thieves somehow managed to take something of his.
...N...not the ear.
Either way, for a guy who's notoriously anal about knowing where his things are all the time, this is a Big Thing-- particularly when Tony's got some sentimental things tucked into the wallet that was pickpocketed away from him last night.]
I've gotta hand it to you, whoever you are-- you're way more than just a petty thief. [He sniffs in distaste.] You're pretty good to slip under my nose. But three thefts on Foreigners in a row, all within a few days? Unless you're trying to show off, you're just making yourself obvious.
Sooner or later, you are going to get caught.
[Tony adds, coldly:]
By the way, I keep my juulan in a bag-- not my wallet. You've just wasted a whole lot of effort making one more enemy. Unless the Emperor's set up a currency exchange and I haven't been paying attention, have fun with my useless American dollars. Asshole.

We shouldn't completely rule out the possibility that the Kedan are the ones stealing things.

Still. All in the same week, from the same relatively central group of people?

Re: video;
But a while ago the powers that be had to set some strict food rationing when the turtle fell ill and the Kedan blamed it all on us wasting their resources. It's calmed down a bit now that everything is more or less back to normal but all that anger didn't just come out of nowhere.

Could be tensions having a flare-up again. This kind of thing happens. Though... I haven't seen any cause for it.

Another one would be a foreign who's expert burglar.

I come from a world where superheroes are a thing, so that doesn't faze me as much as it should. Do you come from a world without them?

[well, he's got one of those, at least.]

Oh.
W-well then.

Yeah, at one point you just stop questioning it.

It's been about a month. A month too long if you ask me.
video;
You get used to it, I promise. It's better if you try not to focus on the weird.
video;
Noted. I'll try to go with the flow, I guess. As for the thief, though... I can't dust for prints or anything. What're the law enforcement around here up to anyway?
video;
They are honestly more focused on making sure we do not wear a hat after 6pm. It's not that they are inefficient, they just have their own personal focus.
video;
Out of curiosity, were you law enforcement back home? You sound like you're familiar with it.
video;
I'm a journalist, paying attention with this kind of things comes with the job.
