Phantom Thief Quest [Dropped]

Wait, only first name or do we need to give a last name too?
I was thinking first name, but family name isn't set, so that's fine too.

I also spent most of that 'writing' time reading up on sumi-e, Kumano brush-making and the uses of various hairs and shapes. Surprisingly interesting! Oh, and the brush' wood is made from cypress, by the way.

(ALSO I'm nowhere near an expert on Japan, so if someone spots something blatantly incorrect/stupid, please correct me. I've been to Tokyo once, but it was hardly an in-depth visit.)

Since we chose the sneaky thief route, I think having the knowledge to knock other people out with chemicals and being generally nondescript will help. Also, Ryo was once a currency, so I did it for the lulz.

This should be our family name, so that we have a genetic precedent for our... "gender". We are a Hideyoshi.

Like I said, we are Hideyoshi! We are so androgynous, that we cause both male and female hearts to go "doki-doki" for us(and we're really popular at school. Seriously, on Valentine's Day, we get so much chocolate from all of our admirers that they had to make a special basket labelled "For Hideyoshi" to stop our locker from being stuffed to the point of bursting and then bursting.), and no one has a damn clue if we are a male or female. Or really cares.

edit: Okay, so magic tricks JUST beats out cosplay voucher by one vote, school star beats out invisibility by 3 votes, and Hideyoshi is the clear winner for the name.

A noise. Tapping? Yeah, tapping. But seeing as it's - wow, nearly midnight, according to your bedside clock - it's way too late to investigate. Letting out a quiet groan, you turn over and tug the bedcovers higher up.

Taptap. Tap.

... Wait. Isn't that coming from inside your room?

Yeah. Yeah, that's definitely from over by your bookshelf, and you've never heard it before. Something's come loose from somewhere, maybe? Peeking your head out from under the covers, you take a quick look - it's hard to tell with only faint light making its way through your blinds, though.

Taptaptaptap!

Okay. Now it's just getting stupid.
[Boldness roll = 76 +10 = 86! Great pass!]
Gritting your teeth - it's definitely not a serial killer. Or a ghost. Or your dumbass sister messing you around - you lunge an arm out, stabbing a finger at your bedside lightswitch. The lamp clicks on immediately, and looking at your bookshelf reveals -

The box holding your 'new' old sumi-e brush giving a tiny jiggle with each tap, like something inside it's... moving... around.

Oh holy fuck.

[ ] MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

Oh, and @Evillevi, do you want a re-roll or a skill boost?
