Tipple shot Night Cap a smile and a nod. The explorer was speaking their language. "Focus on breathing f'now," they said to Moonbeam, making a show of regulating their own breathing as they'd done with their own withdrawal experiences, hoping Moonbeam would follow suit. They moved to help...
Tipple was putting in a long and complicated order of their own ending with a cup of coffee and a soyange juice, but they noticed Moonbeam's fidgeting. "You alright there, kid?" they asked gently as they approached her. "Saw you looked a bit out of sorts with your skin last night when I was...
Tipple stopped on the way to the counter next to Hazy. "A lion? Like you mean the nasty ol' monster with the head of a manticore and th' body of a griffon? I think those are a myth."
I gotta say, I never considered for a moment during character creation that "easily manipulated with food" was going to become a Tipple character trait, but it sure did very quickly become one. X ]
The ball of blue pelt on Tipple's bed bristled momentarily, only to snap elastically at the mention of food and bound to the door. Tipple nonetheless opened the door as if in no particular hurry. "Well, we best get ourselves started then, got a lot of work to do today, lead th'way" they said...
Tipple nodded to Kai as he tucked himself in with his music, " 'Night," and settled into their own bed, poking around on their phone for a few minutes before curling into an unnaturally tight ball, which, after a couple of minutes, began emitting a muffled snore from somewhere inside.
"I have my tricks for locks and seccies too. But if they double down on electronic security when nopony needs to get to the vault, that might be more sensors and countermeasures than just one of you can handle."
"Chaos won't be a friend," said Tipple. "Tends to make ponies jumpy, especially armed ones. I don't think night will do us too many favors either - if the bank is closed, they'll lock that vault down tight."
"I'm only packing shock pistols myself," Tipple said. They cocked their head sideways, considering. "Maybe we nab the head mucker, and have 'em give everypony the day off and a raise instead?"
"Spend a lot of time in tight corners. I can make my way around without gettin' attention. No explosions necessary, scout's honor," said Tipple with a smirk. "Me an' my pup can slide in the hole Hazy makes an' crack what needs cracking along the way."
Tipple immediately opened the floorplan and began looking it over. "So if you're such a scout, why'd you take a deal like this? I've been crackin' an' snoopin' since I got outta the mine, not a lot of clean work out there for folks like me, gotta make my own opportunities." They pawed at the...
"New experience for me too. I've never worked anything bigger than a high-rent condo. Caver's maxim, leave only cameras, take only hard drives, right? Hoped maybe I was the only one, though if I had to put a wager on it I'd say that the jitterbug with the - " Tipple motioned in a circle again...
Tipple bit their lip and looked up as if Kai had given them a math problem to work out. "Eh, good point, best I wait," they said with a nod. They returned to their spot on the bed.
"So, you ever rob a bank before?"
"Yes, thank y''kindly, Forte," Tipple agreed and nodded. They eyed the bed next to what appeared to be a radiator, then pounced, sitting with their legs tucked under them. "I think while everypony is getting themselves settled, I should go an' fetch some gear. Wasn't expecting the sleepover."
"In my experience, it can be just as much fun with a matching set," said Tipple, who then shot a shrug at Moonbeam Shine. "But I think we'd best get to planning and those introductions Kai asked for. Unless the lot of you have a cart of luggage to unpack I didn't see on the way in or you're in a...
