[ X] The jewels. The shiniest of shinies, the only reason you don't have more already is that you can have too much of a good thing and coin-to-jewel balance is utterly essential n good hoard-building.

These updates keep getting more and more fun!

Thank you Zerban!
 
So I'll admit that when I voted to go on the heist earlier, it was mostly to buck the SV trend of "fuck you Misa for trying to manipulate us!"

However there are precisely two times at which it'll be appropiate to say "Fuck you Takara". One of them will probably come naturally later in the story.

[X] The gold. Fuck it. Just start grabbing dripping clawfuls and shoving them in the bag, you're a thief for a night so you will abscond with a literal sackful of money!
The other is when they try to claim that paper is better than gold, because NOTHING is better than gold! other than possibly Abzu's cuteness.

"(Your true name is Eldingar and your elf disguise is named Lord Elding. Everyone in the city knows.)"
Where Eldingar learns his magical closet has been about as good at hiding him as a glass house.

(Also we need to wean Eldingar off of this.... this filthy goldbuggery as soon as possible)
Heresy of the highest order! Do you want Eldingar to be an even worse dragon?
 
[x] The bearer bonds. The idea disgusts you as a dragon on every conceivable level, but Takara does have a point that it's more value per pound, and by design you can use them for whatever the fuck you want by virtue of holding them in your hand.

He is best dragon. He deserves all the hugs. He will get his gold when it is time for it.

It is not like he is a wyvern where everyone would be constantly asking "are you even a dragon?", so I am sure whatever he does will be fine.

Lets all give the stormy dragon protagonist a break and have something good happen. A night with a wonderful incubus followed by a large cash influx is awesome.

I really like the idea of those tight latex suits that shine and show off how much dragon is there.
I wonder if Takara is recording things magically, and I wonder if they are a doppelganger.

Paper money isn't as shiny and crumples when dragons sit on it, sure. It's also more valuable than a pile of gold depending on the value.

Much respectable, very business.

The bearer bonds can always be exchanged for gold later, and we'd get more gold that way than we could scoop up now.
Besides, we don't want to look like one of those filthy mortals who only became a dragon out of greed, do we?

I see it more as if we can reluctantly do what mother says and renovate our boi-cave, we can reluctantly take the mortal money to get better things latter.

We can turn them into more gold later.
 
Eldingar right now:



Chapter Twenty-Two: You Were Not Prepared For This Level Of Innuendo And Frankly You Question Your Ability To Function As A Team Because Of It
Beautiful
And then her breasts deflate with the short, sharp pop of a pair of balloons being pierced.
... pffffffffthahaha
"Sweetheart..." They shift their hand down and pat your chest, just over your heart as they lower their voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "(Your true name is Eldingar and your elf disguise is named Lord Elding. Everyone in the city knows.)"

You make a face like they just pried your ribs open and took a shit inside of your chest. You helplessly splutter out a few false starts to a sentence you don't know the end or middle of.
oh you poor little shit, you had to find out someday.

I think it's pretty clear the Eldingar's alignment is firmly Disaster Gay.
Your hunched movements are a lot more restricted and involve a lot more quiet, rubbery squeaking.

"(May I ask why these suits again?)" you whisper.

"(Well for starters, no proper thief would ever be caught dead outside their proper attire,)" Takara replies. "(And for another, you're already sweating like a hooker in church. If it weren't for all that rubber insulating you you'd be sparkling like a firework.)"

You lapse into a momentary stubborn silence as you register the wisdom of their words. "(But... then why the navel-length plunging necklines?)" you ask.

"(Ventilation! Very crucial. This material really does not breathe well.)"

"(And the heels?)"

"(Absolutely essential aesthetic touches!)"
Oh yeah, they know how to have fun with their work.
"(Wait here and watch, then glide down and meet me once I've taken out all four guards by myself.)"
They've got us figured.
You are a classy and distinguishing dragon of wealth and taste and you will not salivate over any half-masculine rear in sight even if it is vacuum-sealed in rubber.
Dear, it's not just a river in Egypt.
"How do you throw paper like that?" you ask, following Takara to the vault door. "Any time I've tried it just flops over all useless."

"It's wonderful of you to set me up like that but I really must concentrate right now," Takara replies, kneeling by the tumbler and twiddling their fingers in a discomfortingly dexterous fashion. "I need all my concentration to work a different sort of magic right now." They press their ear to the metal and begin to turn, listening intently for the mechanism within. "But practice, my dear. Lots and lots of practice."

You shift your weight awkwardly from foot to foot, waiting for Takara's latest show of 'magic' to kick in. They seem happily dead to the world, sticking the tip of their tongue out as they gently caress the locks. Just as you sarcastically think something about whispering sweet nothings to them too, they start doing exactly that. This heist has made you feel a lot of very weird things and you'd like to go home now.
I love them. Perfect. Just wonderful.

[X] The magic items. Sniff it out with that beautiful dragon nose of yours and stuff it all in the bag. What's valuable will be worth a lot and what's not will at least entertain you with its gimmicks.

Remember that Eldingar was especially distressed by the loss of distinctive Shiny Things from his hoard, and considers general wealth to be more a sort of dressing for the stuff that matters. The poor boy needs something to assauge his mood, let's pick up some distinctive shinies for him, especially to rub it in the Russo's faces about not fucking with us. And then go chat with Takara about further heists, because this is wonderful.
 
@Imrix convinced me.

Hrm...y'know, I just had a thought. Last update, our brand new secretary Amani told us we were broke, desperately in need of cash, and gave us a letter from the Rosso brothers. Right after that, a mysterious shapeshifter shows up in the same alleyway we just ran into with a solution to that problem.

Could Takara have secretly also been our secretary? Is that part of their game?
 
Google tells me it's #007FFF like so and that seems fine for the big blue dumbass.
Excuse you, it's big blue baby.
It's alliterative, can be shortened as B3 and Eldingar is not just a dumbass, He is an innocent baby.
(Puts on Jester hat...as it was a jest)
I see it more as if we can reluctantly do what mother says and renovate our boi-cave, we can reluctantly take the mortal money to get better things latter.
That is a fair point, Eldingar tends to do things he is told face to face.
Bitching and moaning all the way there and doing his best to escape it, but he does it.

This past my mind aswel. Granted if Takara did that, they would need to watch out because if Eldingar found out he would rampa-
Oh who am I kidding?
Any other dragon would rampage, but Eldingar would pout and complain while laying on his hoard.
Sobbing in a dignafied manner, honest
Maybe catch some lightning from Issachar's lightning farm, because Eldingar is a child made from spite.
So yeah, if Takara fooled Ol Eldy, worst that is going to happen is that we get big bawling blue baby.
(Protec him)
eyyyy it's the most magical page number motherfuckers
Oh, most wonderful of days!
We haven't had such a wonderful day since page 34!

Aaaaaaah fuck it, there's good logic for going for these.
