Sour Diamonds // Closed w @galaxies-unknown
It was supposedly the color of the darkest midnight. Faceted to perfection and still an enormous size for a jewel. Those prospectives looking to buy it lorded this black diamond in particular to be the pinnacle of mysterious beauty, but all Rind saw from the skylight earlier that day was another target.
She had a thing for jewelry, its glittery stones and shiny metals attracted this Eevee's gaze. But when she laid her eyes on the diamond on display at the auction house, Rind felt her nose crinkle in disgust. This jewel was big, yes, but it was awfully drab. It was opaque and not clear at all, it barely sparkled when the moonlight hit it! For a gem these rich folks believed to be worth so much, the vixen thought it was awfully dull.
She would have skipped out on this heist and found something better to do, but Rind couldn't pry herself away from this opportunity. She wasn't here for the gem itself, but for its pricetag. The diamond was apparently worth over one million dollars to them! What fools!
But oh... Wouldn't it be something to see their faces when they came back in the morning to find it gone?
It was late into the night. The janitor was just finishing up his shift and would soon lock up the auction house. They were going to begin bidding on that ugly diamond the next day, so tonight had to be the night. It was now or never.
She hid by the front door, quietly waiting for the janitor to exit the building. When he finally did, slipping by his feet and getting inside was simply done with her small size.
It would have been easy. In and out, just as she did with other heists. But of course things got complicated minutes in. The gem was there, right there! But an unfamiliar scent was brought to her attention. Someone else.
A flash of brown dove away from the diamond and hid behind an antique rocking horse. A narrowed eye peeks out.
