[ no superheroes existed in the castle outside of Steph we we're protag free :/ ]

Just warn me if that happens so I can recalibrate my next visit.

[ Varian drops himself in bludhaven ]

[vigilantics]

I'll send you a letter. "Hey Varian, I'm robbing a bank, wanna come with?"

[ thankfully this is probably the least weird conversation the people who work here has heard tonight. ]

[alchemenace]

"Absolutely, just let me grab my stuff, I'll leave a note!" [ he grins but ] I say that, but your paper money still weirds me out.

[vigilantics]

But it's a lot more convenient than carrying around a bunch of gold.

[ where would you even put it all... ]

[alchemenace]

The weight difference is pretty notable. [ not that Varian has... any experience carrying gold around, but. ] ... Does that make it easier or harder to steal...

[vigilantics]

... both?

[ steph can't really compare. she does not carry around gold. ]

Thieves don't seem to have much trouble.

[alchemenace]

They don't have a lot of problem back in Corona either. Or outside of it.

[ thievery is whatever you need it to be, he guesses ]

Guess it's just a matter of being stubborn enough? Or. Uh. Desperate enough.

[vigilantics]

Yeah. Although if you're too desperate a lot of the time you leave a lot of room for mistakes.

[ crimes of passion are often messier and leave more evidence. ]

[alchemenace]

[ ... Varian laughs awkwardly ]

Yeah, I, um. I am aware.

[vigilantics]

...

[ SIGHS ]

[alchemenace]

In my defense, I never stole money?

[ is that. a defense. ]

[vigilantics]

[ no he just jumped straight to murder. ]

Well, that's better than the people I beat up earlier.

[alchemenace]

[ excuse you his first crime was treason via stealing from the king's vault, thanks ]

So does that mean I get a free pass on being beaten up?

[vigilantics]

[ she pretends to think about it. ]

Hm... yeah. You're free to go, mister.

[alchemenace]

Gosh, thanks, officer. I don't know how I would've explained that one going back.

[ implying he ever explains anything to anyone in corona ]

[vigilantics]

You would have to come up with a very elaborate cover story, I bet.

[ or he could just not mention it at all. ]

[alchemenace]

Or maybe they'd buy "I tripped and fell".

[ shade thrown at rapunzel party ]

It would've been annoying either way, so I'm glad you're sparing me.

[vigilantics]

Of course.

[ she should probably actually look at the menu at some point. she does that. ]

So, we're going for very stereotypical American breakfast.

[alchemenace]

[ luckily even though tangled is set in Germany they all write in English so Varian can read this menu ]

Is the hour stereotypical too?

[vigilantics]

Honestly... yeah.

[ you are either here in the middle of the night, or you're here in the morning if your family suddenly decided they wanted to try functioning as a cohesive unit for once. ]

I'm surprised we don't see anyone else here.

[alchemenace]

Really? In this diner?

[ there's no such thing as 24 hour anything in corona or ... outside of it, really, and so varian sounds genuinely shook by this revelation ]

No wonder your job keeps you busy... [ the night life here is? constant and not just wolves? incredible ] What do people even do awake all night?

[vigilantics]

It... depends?

[ she taps her fingers against the tabletop, trying to figure out just how much she should say here. whatever. the kid spent two months in a murder castle. ]

Crime, for one. It obviously happens during the day time, but it goes way up at night. Less people around, you got the cover of darkness, blah blah. But other than that, there's like bars and clubs and stuff?
