In and out. That was his goal. Silas had a mission coming up that he needed to have his head fully in the game for. He refused to fumble so close to the starting line. Thus, in order to cool his head and get himself into work mode, Silas decided to take on a little light work in the tunnels. All he was here to do was a little petty theft. Nothing complicated. Nothing noteworthy. He let himself fade into the crush of people navigating the tunnel, looking to dine and shop. At his side was Brutus, who held that sutra he found back in Ilex in one grubby hand. Silas discovered, in time, that the tag attracted powerful pokemon. If he was going to be wandering around where he could encounter some, might as well encounter the strongest, yes?
Once he emerged from the thick of things, he let his gaze pass over the crowd until he spotted a fellow in a familiar black outfit. Ah, yes, the fellow grunt he was here to help do a brief gig. Practically purse snatching, really. He nodded to the man and gave him the signal, which the man responded to in kind. Good. They were on the same page.
Now, time to warm up for his biggest heist yet.
He put on a charming smile and walked through the front door of one of the shops. Apparently the owner was behind on 'payments' to the Rockets. The protection fee turned into debt to be paid for via your kneecaps pretty quick if you renegaded on payments. Silas waited for the store to clear out and for his back up to enter the shop as well, locking the door behind them and flipping the sign to closed.
Neither noticed that Brutus had been locked outside, cheerfully oblivious to what was going on within the shop. He happily climbed on benches and rummaged through a nearby trashcan before tugging at a lady's purse. She swore at him and hurried away, leaving a confused Brutus watching her leave. Huh. Weird. Why was she so mad?
He continued to 'monkey around' for a while as Silas and his 'friend' started to close in on the idiot that got in bad graces with the mob. For now it was just a nice little 'chat'. They were reasonable people. Money. Goods. Pokemon. There was more than one way to repay one's debts, as long as it could be repurposed or sold.
