Thief- The Fratellis

WHO || Poe, Natasha, Ward, Amy, Miles, Peter [closed]
WHAT || The Knights investigate a bizarre clue in an art theft
WHERE || Nara Roesler Gallery, Brazil
WHEN || Before the concert, time-line wise
HOW || Actionspam 

The Knights are met by the sun elf curator of the exhibit at the Gallery in Sao Paulo, a golden skinned man named Elluin, who wears an expensively tailored suit with a skinny black tie, his long white hair tied up in a man bun. Yep. He walks them to the place where the piece had been on the wall, now vacant. A balustrade blocks off the area from the public, and a small placard hangs beside the blank space.

"It is the strangest thing. The pages were actually tacked to the wall in place of the painting. There can be no doubt that they were left on purpose."

We sure we've got the right place?

[cuivre]

It's gotta be, right? The address matches, doesn't it?

[krasnayapautina]

Who wants to bet if we just stroll on in, the place blows zero-point-five seconds later?

[She's not sure she's ready to chance that, ok. She's looking for another way in that isn't the front -- um, door. (search 16). ]

[starprince]

[ there does seem to be a rooftop entrance, accessible perhaps by an artful climb up that old fire escape... ]

Doesn't anybody make their traps original these days?

[krasnayapautina]

Mmmnope. Apparently not. I hope you all brought your climbing and-slash-or asskicking boots today.. [She nods her head towards the fire escape.]

[starprince]

Finally, some action. [ he rubs his hands together, then cracks his knuckles, and makes a running start to jump up and grab the fire escape, pulling himself up. it's v impressive. change your panties ladies (climb 17) ] You guys coming, or you gonna stand down there with your thumbs up your butts?

[cuivre]

[Miles glances over to see if anyone else wants to go first, but he just goes for it, pulling himself up the fire escape with ease (climb 22).

Looks like they're changing their panties again.]

[newgenwraith]

I prefer the non-explody entrance myself.

[give him a moment to just enjoy those two fine men and their climbing skills (and asses) on the climb before he starts up himself (climb 15).]

[krasnayapautina]

[ brb, rolling her eyes ever so slightly at the show of testosterone before climbing up herself | climb 18 ]

[starprince]

[ star-lord, in the meantime, has gone to find the door, and says loudly and sarcastically: ] Problem guys. It's locked. Guess we gotta go home. [ he's just gonna... draw his gun... ]

[keptbiting]

Oh, put that away, you numpty!

[ she will be there... in a second. (climb 16) she's on her freakin' way. ]

[betrayed]

[Almost a year later... and possibly too late, Ward makes his own climb up to join the others (climb 12) -- just not as gracefully as everyone else.

He still keeps a look out for other people, security, any actual cameras -- because if this is the right place, they wouldn't store something of value inside without some means of protection. (spot 17).]
