The Mosely Report

My hobbies are literature, horticulture and keeping the scum in line for our fair city. My allegiances lie with the noble Sheriff Gorman Truart but I will admit, though only to myself, that I find his methods . . . disturbing.

today at work i let someone into a dressing room and they said “thanks” and half of me tried to say “you’re welcome” and the other half tried to say “no problem” and i ended up saying “your problem”

this post had me in tears

[ghost-plot]

I was hoping the notes would be full of similar stories, but they’re not, so I’ll add my story for anyone else looking for more laughs:

I had to go to a library to pay a fee and I was practicing in the car between “I have to pay a fine” and “I have to pay a fee” and I walked in and firmly stated “I have to pee” and slapped a five dollar bill on the counter (the fee was like ten cents), and walked out. This was like three years ago and I still haven’t been back,

[greatestgoth]

My friend was driving and we were almost past our turnoff so I tried to say “quick” and “fast” at the same time and I ended up screaming “QUACK” which ended up with him judging me very hard and missing the turn

[soldieronbarnes]

Recently someone in class asked me how I was doing and I started off saying I was good but switched to I’m okay in the middle and ended up saying “I’m gay.”

Which, while kind of accurate, was not what I meant to announce to my classmate.

[spankyhole]

This Halloween I was handing out candy and a child said “trick or treat” and I smiled gave them their candy and apparently my mouth betrayed me and I said “Merry Christmas” and proceeded to sit down and look up to the sky for answers while their mother laughed at me :)))))

[succlentwitch]

I was switching between “Bye Deanna” and “Goodbye” and I ended up saying “Go Die”

[stellaathena]

Sometimes I try to say “I fucking love you” but it comes out in the wrong order and then everyone’s uncomfortable.

[magebird-old]

When I first started my coffee shop job, I was still getting used to greeting customers as they came in the door. A man walked in, and in the jumble of trying to say, “How are you doing?” and “What’s up?” I ended up demanding “What are you doing here?!”

[ledamemangociana]

something really cool happened once at the office and i started to say “i’m so amazed” but halfway through my mind changed to “that’s really amazing” and i just ended up saying “i’m really so amazing”

[umbrellabonsai-deactivated20180]

one time i was out in the woods in the spring when the birds were just beginning to come out again and i went to say “i’m so pumped for the birds” and “i’m so hyped for the birds” and instead i said “i’m so humped for birds”

[fuckyeahrichardiii]

Tried to say “medieval lit class” while talking way too fast and ended up saying MEDIEVAL CLIT CLASS

wait did i mention that i said this in front of my students while i was teaching? cause that’s how it happened

[the-ninth-arcanum]

a cashier told me “have a good day” at the same time as I was saying it, so I tried to switch to “you too” and ended up actually saying “have a good doo”

We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.

[oppressionisntrad-blog]

Important things to keep in mind!

- never take from ‘mom and pop’ type store. Its likely you’ll actually harm them, whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much.

- never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired.

- similar to the above, never take things that are usually locked up for the above reason

- if its a store you know gives their near-expiration products to workers/charity, try to avoid taking the near expiration products.

- if youre taking clothing, avoid leaving hangers. it sounds weird, but itll make it seem like it was more likely an error in the computer than a theft, since the empty hanger sitting there will seem suspicious. 

- also for clothing, try not to take more than one item at once, as it will look suspicious if theres 10 medium shirts missing, and it won’t be written off as just a stocking error. and it will lead to workers being penalized

- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do it

like i was homeless for a while when i was younger and i tried to follow those guidelines to avoid doing harm to people who were probably not much better off than me while trying to get food for myself.

[tattoosfade]

Holy crap, is there like an unspoken thieves code or something?!

[admthrawn]

it’s a thing. I won’t even lie. I watched someone slip a nursing exam book in their bag at the store I worked at. She made eye contact with me and the blood drained from her face. I simply gave her a sympathetic nod and walked away.

I live in a small town and I knew she was a waitress at a hotel my sister works at, and people at that hotel don’t tip well during off season. Nursing exam books are 50+ bucks. Being a med student myself, I didn’t even breathe a word, and when inventory came up later and the book was missing, I suggested it was likely a mislabel, and the manager wrote it off.

Sometimes, thievery is a necessity. Don’t send people to jail over petty shit. 

[blockmind]

"whereas taking from a walmart wont effect much."

woa hold up about to give you some retail lowdown

Background: Been working at Target for five years and we hear about this stuff every day let me tell you. We have a system called Assets Protection and I’ll get to them later but basically they’re the people in charge of tracking how much money Target loses every day in theft.

Here’s the thing: little thefts add up for a major department store, everything adds up, coupon fraud adds up, your fakeass return adds up. It adds up as a collective loss for the store and that money lost gets subtracted from what the store makes as a whole. Product loss effects what Target earns on a day to day basis.

And maybe people don’t understand this but, when Target loses money, we, the workers, lose hours—so we lose money too. Our store has been struggling to make sales goals for years and what if we dont make sales goals because theft put us under for the month? Boom, cut the hours. That’s some min-wage level people being effected, some of which downright rely on it to survive. WE DIDNT MAKE THE SYSTEM BUT WE SURE HAVE TO FOLLOW IT. Take into consideration the billions of dollars Target lost due to that credit fraud thing—PEOPLE ACTUALLY LOST THEIR JOBS OVER THAT. Was it the higher-ups? of course not. They were my friends, my coworkers, whose positions were eliminated when Target took steps to get rid of middle management in order to recover from the money loss.

The system IS fucked up and it’s going to effect the lowest people on the totem pole no matter goddamn what so:

"never take items that a worker is assigned to monitor (usually super expensive items), theyll be in trouble for it. and its usually a minimum wage worker and usually they lose hours or pay, or they even get fired."

If you’re stealing from a large retail store like Target our assets protection WILL GET. IN TROUBLE. FOR YOUR THEFT. EVEN IF THEY’RE NOT LOCKED UP. I dont get in trouble directly if someone ditches electronics with a cart full of shelf items but that nice AP guy who doesn’t get paid enough to deal with this shit in our store sure gets the brunt of it and trust me, I’ve listened to them complain. Their job LITERALLY DEPENDS on how much money they save the store IN THEFT PREVENTION

”- basically just always consider ‘will this harm a worker’ and if the answer is yes then dont do it” EVERYTHING WILL HARM THE WORKER STEALING ANYTHING FROM STORES HARMS THE WORKER I REPEAT: IF YOU STEAL FROM STORES YOU ARE HARMING THE PEOPLE ON THE LOWEST LEVEL OF THAT COMPANY I.E. ME DONT GLORIFY CASUAL THEFT DONT FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF FOR THIS

[lt-mosley-report]

"STOP RIGHT THERE, THIEF!" ((-is what my muse would say. She is a lieutenant of the City Watch after all. But back on track, no one - and I. Means. NO ONE - should justify stealing. It's wrong, no matter how you slice it. However, keep in mind that wrong =/= necessary (edit: Wanted to add in necesary =/= right either, to cover my bases.). I know many people IRL that had to steal something in order to survive (clothes, food, medication, etc) but that doesn't make it good. Don't steal anything and make it seem like 'every body' does it. Stealing never helps anyone but yourself or the person you're trying to help by doing it. For that matter, keep things thoughts and opinions to yourself because I can guarantee you - speaking out loud and in public gives you no brownie points and can blacklist you. Either by people that MAY want to be friends with you but can't trust you (because you're a thief) or by people that HAVE trusted you but then you come up with this bullshit reasoning that stealing is in any correct. Keep. It. To. Yourself. If you're going to be a criminal with your own agenda, stealing for yourself (or someone else) don't say it on the internet and for god sakes - don't project it like a dumbass to those who listen. -because they are listening.

[hehehe426]

Mm like for serious, thief fandom. Nobody talks about the roleplay blogs. They haven’t been very active recently, but they’re all amazing. There’s obumbratus-artifex, who writes a stunningly in-character Garrett, not to mention the dozen other Garretts...

[lt-mosley-report]

And what a lovely Karras ye are! I love everything about this fandom and - now I finally found the actual rp part - I'm addicted. Invite your friends  and become one of us. One of Us.

[hehehe426]

…. :/ i don’t know anything about Keepers or Builders or pretty much anything about old Thief lore. I never played the old games.

I read something about them on the wiki, once? but it was too confusing…

this is when my only-recent arrival to the fandom bugs me

[sneaky-taffer]

you can always ask an old taffer for a brief run-down of all of them and we’d probably be more than happy to gush about the colorful factions and lore xD

[lt-mosley-report]

I can answer any and all questions that you may have and provide as detailed responses as you'd like. It's very rich lore and I'm sure you might enjoy it if you liked the new Thief or if you have interest in the story =] Also trying to make an RPG based on the series but it's slow. . . .

[lt-mosley-report]

Wait, wut? (Spoilers for Thief 2)

Karras changed the city completely. How? Some articles from the wiki and I've researched 'em up myself for clarity: Truart took control of the Watch, and made many great sweeping reforms. Women were being hired, new technology was being used, officers were prohibited from drinking on duty,[4] uniforms were centralized, unified ranking, a system of paperwork was in place,[5] a code system was introduced, Watch Stations were cleaned up (except cells and interrogation), tough measures were being taken to fight the Wardens, street crime was being cleaned up, crime and autopsy labs were created, dedicated Divisions were created to fight major crimes, different tactics to fight crime,[6] and etc. -Thief wiki, http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Category:City_Watch

When Truart took office, the City Watch got a whole lot more organized and was a major pain in the ass for Garrett. However, there's something I realized as well as this: However, many of these additions were created alongside the rise of the Mechanists, such as similar uniforms, women, technology, and street cleaning for the Servant Project. After the fall of Karras, the Watch lost a lot of what Truart created. Some things, like uniforms, reports, city-wide cohesion, and others remained. Some things like the Mechanist technology and female officers were gone by the time of TDS. -Thief Wiki, http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Category:City_Watch The Mechanists also went through a similar reform. However, that's not the plot twist. Here's the plot twist:

I have found out something new. All this time I thought Sheriff Truart, possibly out of some misguided sense of duty, was acting alone against your people, but that is sadly untrue. As is his fashion - Truart was hired! Yes, and by the Mechanists! He has met with Karras, their leader, several times, and from those meetings came the order to systematically eradicate all Pagans.

-Thief wiki, Letters from Mosley #4, http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Trail_of_Blood:_In-game_text#M10B08 Truart was hired by Karras. Now, this may not be giving Truart enough credit but bare with me here. If Truart was hired by Karras . . .and Truart reformed the watch . . .  and the Mechanists had a similar formation . . . then all the evidence points to one possibility!! Karras single-handedly manipulated the City Watch into a great era of revolutionary reform and his Mechanists at the same time AND managed to fool an entire city (sans a few) over the course of a year(I believe). . . . Damn. If he wasn't so crazy at the end, he would have made a great Baron.

A Night in The City - On Patrol

[lt-mosley-report]

Drosera didn’t know his way around the City very well. Certainly he had been making his trips more frequent and was becoming familiar with some districts, but The City was very large, and he feared getting lost if he took off in a panic while Mosely created a distraction. He’d need time (more than what he had available) to plan his way out, backtracking through familiar roads and routes he’s taken before.

But he nodded his head anyways; she already had a distraction prepared, so he may as well take advantage of it now while he could. “Yes, yes a distraction bes good, probably better than what I’m thinkers of. I bes only needsie a minute or two anyways.”

He grimaces, keeping his gaze averted. He wasn’t a warrior for a reason. “I…. can try?” he laughs, an uncertain grin on his face. He holds up his gnarled staff, tapping it a few times against his open palm before holding it up. “With this?”

He holds it up like a club, though he’s got an uncertain look on his face still. “I bes sorry, it bes going to hurt.”

As soon as the pagan reluctantly swung the staff at Mosely’s face however, a sharp voice from the opposite end of the alley shouted out in alarm. “Hey!”

Mosley’s face went from an expression of mirth to one of shock as her pagan friend brought up his staff. He was going to hit her with that? At his own questioning gesture, she decided it would have to do. She gave a nod and watched him raised the staff. Instinctively, she clenched her fists and set her jaw to take the blow. She was about to close her eyes, when she suddenly noticed a shadow behind him and she cursed the gods for their timing. A loud ‘Hey!’ rang out through the alley and she was sure that if nothing was done soon, their plan would fall to pieces. She looked between the two before quickly let out a cry and falling to one knee, holding her side. For good measure, she would bite he tongue and casually ‘fall’ down the stairs at work tomorrow to make this look good. “Augh!” She said dramatically and loud enough to be heard, “I’ve got a Code 245!” She looked up at the pagan and hissed a warning silently to him, “Go now! RUN!” before she continued and leaned against a wall, “-Gonna need some back up over here!” She would do her best to keep the dogs around her and have them help bring her to the station. If she had to explain anything, it’d be personally and she’d try and make this pagan sound as armed as a Hammerite with a death wish. As she laid against the wall, a couple officer yelling in alarm 'How many are there?!', she could only hope that her co-conspirator would understand the length she went to go to. If this didn't work, she'd be out of a job or worse - unless the sheriff just suddenly died she didn't think she'd get away with this.

A Night in The City - On Patrol

[lt-mosley-report]

Once the pair were safely away from any prying eyes, Drosera felt a small comfort again. They’d be safe to communicate with each other for now and be able to see if anyone were coming their way from either entrance of the alleyway.

He recoiled a little at her words. The Lieutenant certainly was taking a number of risks in allying with him and his people. There was little doubt that the officer they bumped into would report the sight, or at least mention what he had seen. In either case, there would only be trouble for Mosley, or for both of them. If they couldnt salvage the situation, they’d be in some trouble.

He gestures a hand between Mosley and himself. “It bes not safe now, the other one will come back for sure. We must speaksie somewhere else where they bes not knowing.”

He glances around, quickly, reassuring himself for the second time that they were alone before leaning in closer, speaking in a hushed voice. “A diversion. We bes needing to makes it look real, like I bes just escaped for realsie.”

He shifts from foot to foot. “Ahh, but we bes needing to make it look… actually realsie first. So they’re not asking questions.”

When they weren’t in broad daylight, Mosley was able to think a bit more clearly. Besides be well aware that what she was doing could get her hanged, she was glancing about and listening intently to what her co-conspirator was telling her. It was a good plan, though only a draft and so she had to think of something that would work. If she were a pagan, what would she do in a situation like this? After a few seconds of thinking, she frowned and shifted on her feet - she had a plan but it was risky. She kept a hand on her sword, “I can maintain a distraction, but I need to know that you can escape and know your way around. Right now, we’re at the Old Cloister gate-” She looked up, seeing the gate in the distance from the darkness of the alley way. “-I believe there’s a fence line that has been due for repairs for a while now.” She smirked, “-They won’t be getting it fixed as long as I’ve got something to say about it.” It was a good plan; distract the guards with something, plan a route with the least guards in the way and then he’s hope free through the fences to contact his leader. Now there was only the hard part. Mosley stressed her lip in contemplation, looking around in thought before she started to nod gently and looked to Drosera, “I’ve got an idea but, uh, how’s your left hook?” She asked. On her face was a grin as wide as a Cheshire cats’. “Think you can sock me a good one to make it look real or do I have to bait you? Get you angry?”

[lt-mosley-report]

A Night in The City - On Patrol

[lt-mosley-report]

The sound of the approaching Watch officers was enough to make the pagan a little jittery. He needed to get somewhere dark and secluded, out of sight lest he got the both of them in trouble with the patrollers. They needed to find somewhere to disappear fast. Though they were allies, he couldn’t be certain about whether she would still remain so if they were discovered.

He jumps to the worst conclusion at Mosley’s façade, a look of panic crossing his face again when he believes himself betrayed by the officer and he briefly attempts to put up a bit of a struggle before it dawns on him that it was merely an act which he at least may have looked a little more convincing.

Mosley would certainly see trouble for this, there was no doubt about that. Unless he ended up in a prison cell, questions would be asked. The others would begin to suspect things, and no good could come of that. The only thing they could do was attempt to make his absence later on seem genuine. He turns his head to glance back at her, meekly nodding his head to a dimmer alley.

"Over there," he hisses softly, "We bes cant talking out here."

He’s got a vague idea in mind, though he cant be sure the woman would agree to it. Making a struggle look convincing would require some injury, but without it she’d surely fall under suspicious scrutiny of her superior officers when he mysteriously “vanishes” without a trace.

In any other circumstance, Mosley would have balked in hesitation at following any sort of shady character into an alley. It was by the good graces of luck that it was an ally and that she had no reason to worry about an attack. As she followed him into the darkened shadows, she made sure to keep her hand on her sword should anything besides the pagan attack. And, if necessary, use the sword as a means to create another façade.

When they were completely immersed in the shadows, Mosley eyed the pagan with an expressed that bordered on concern and wary caution, “I’ve taken a lot of risks for your people.” She started and, as if she wanted to make sure they were alone, she glanced behind her and then turned back to Drosera and took her hand off of her sword. “What can I do?” It was amazing that she would even ask such a thing, given the amount of literal shit she would be in for what she just pulled. No doubt, that officer would put in a report and if there were any contradictory reports in her watch Truart wouldn’t pass up the chance to bring Hagan into the light of day. And that bastard . . . she would dare say that he was worse than the Sheriff. The fact that he held his ideals up to that of a god spoke volumes of his passion of violence.

A Night in The City - On Patrol

[lt-mosley-report]

Drosera make a short noise of alarm when shoved against the wall, though he dared not make more noise than that for fear of attracting more City Watch officers nearer to the alley he was in. His eyes darted to the side, watching the entrance to the alleyway and expecting more trouble to come his way. It seemed as though no one heard either him or the female officer pinning him to the wall, allowing him the opportunity to return his attention back to her.

He recoils away from her when she hisses her words at him, and it takes a moment for the words to register in his head. Once they do, realization lights up on his face and he allows his body to relax ever so slightly.

"Friend?" he asked, keeping his voice down. He stops, looking up as if in thought before nodding his head slowly. "Mosely… I bes hearing that name before. You bes helping us out, the others mentioned it."

He raises his hands to nudge Mosely’s own in order to have his tunic released. He’s hoping his calmer demeanor will be enough for her to trust letting him go, but at the very least he should be alright for a little while longer.

At least, they’d be alright until a curious patroller happened to wander a little too close.

"Maybe we bes moving somewhere else?" He proposes with a shaky grin. "I not bes thinking it’s goodsie to stay here."

It relieved her that an ally could see her as such; the night was dark but not dark enough that street lamps couldn’t illuminate who was on which side. She released him and gave a nod, but her demeanor quickly changed, her smile fading into a serious expression. “Yes, and it-”, the sound of chainmail getting closer cued her off to the incoming trouble. Her friend seems to mirror the sudden urge she to flee the scene and she quickly and tried to urge him along down the alley. It would take them out and near the patrols of more watch that Mosley made sure weren’t here yet. Upon leaving the mouth of the alley, though, they nearly came front-to back with a fellow officer and it made things more complicated when he turned around. “W-Whoa! You actually c-caught one?!” The officer stuttered as if he’d never seen a pagan before. What was the lieutenant to do in a crunch, but what came to mind that made the most sense? Trying to be gentle, Mosley held the back of Drosera’s arms behind him and pulled him in front of her. In a nasty tone, she told the officer, “Back to your patrol! The nights’ been bad enough with this one constantly running!” She made to pull him with her, down the cobblestone streets of the marketplace and, in her mind, she had some idea of where to go. The officer before seemed to hesitantly go back to his rounds - she hoped this wouldn't get back to the 'Sir'. Mosley kept him in front of her as she spoke to him in a low voice, “If you’ve got ideas, now’s the time. I’m not exactly good at this kind of thing.” She hoped the situation might elicit some good plans from the crafty pagan.

[lt-mosley-report]

Sheriff Mosley,

          I fully understand thy need to continue suspecting and investigating my order.  Fear not.  I am, as promised, thoroughly checking for dangerous dissidents myself, though I have found nothing of note as yet.

          To respond to thy vehement denial:  I play at nothing, and cannot fathom why thou wouldst think I insinuate anything with my suggestion.  Dost protest so at the mere reminder that there may be a faulty gear within thy machine?  That, in itself, doth speak to a troubling mindset.  That thou hast interrogated suspects within thy organization is a testament to thy dedication in eradicating Pagan influences on the Watch.  I am aware of this; thou needst not reel so at a well-meant inquiry.

          Truly, I meant nothing by it.  I have ever doubted the rumors.

          As for thy request, I will attend thy trial, though my schedule doth indeed conflict with its date and it will be not only an inconvenience to myself but a hindrance to Mechanist progress.  However, as a sign of good will to thee and thine, it is only natural that I comply and prove to thee the Builder’s truth.  Should I need a defense — and I am certain our blamelessness will become obvious, when thou hast weighed the evidence — Friend Vilnia will accompany me.  Her absence at Angelwatch is a nonissue for the brief time thou requirest of us.

          I will await thine emissary, and send word of thy summons to Vilnia.  Know, again, that the Mechanist order will continue to comply with any requests that may help thee in thy search for Truart’s murderer.  May the Builder illuminate thy mission.

                                         In the Builder’s grace,

                                         Father Karras

P.S.  None of the Children shall accompany me, so long as I am assured of my security under thy watchful eye.  I put my trust in thee; put thy trust in me.

(Time has passed and the trial has ended . . . but not in Mosley’s favor) Lord Karras,

If I did not know better, reading your last letter seemed as though I was speaking to another individual. Unfortunately, I do know better. Firstly, I want to thank you for attending the trial as summoned. On that note, let it be known that the insults and constant badgering of the witnesses I had produced was wholly unnecessary. For the Builders’ sake, they broke out into tears when their faith was brought into question. They had not once stepped foot in a church and your dismissal of their account based on ‘-lack of faith in the Builder’ was unfounded. When I meant ‘bring a defense’, I did not mean to protect you from verbal harm. Your ‘Friend Vilnia’ was out of order when she attempted to smite the witness at the stand in the name of the builder when the question was asked if you had visited the latrine during your stay in construction of the mansions’ security. It was a question of alibi and one that was dutifully asked, though I will not bring to question why you managed to avoid answering said question.

Karras, the judge may have thrown out the case, but mark my words you have not escaped the sanctity of the law. I need only one incident to have a warrant and I will find you. The Baron is ever on the side of justice and your gods will not be able to stop gavel next time. Should our paths ever cross, know that you are in my line of sight. Lastly, I will keep this between us in our letters: if Vilnia looks at me and questions whether I have rolled in the sins of the earth, she is mine. It is called perfume; an invention that hides body odor. Do pass that along to her, won’t you? I’m sure she may have use of it, working in the heat of machines.   I’m watching you, Sheriff Mosley. P.S: Yes, I bathe – it’s none of your business.
