MAKING MONEY LIKE A MINT

• It's go time for the world's shoddiest heist! • Resources: bank map + general description of the bank, security and curse bustle. • The full recap of IC plans is here, but to sum up: Mingyu and Winnie will procure the map from Haltham's connections. Wei Wuxian's paper man magic will confirm the findings and supply reconnaissance for the curse password on the day. Su Xunxian and Beitang Moran will distract security. Five and Mina will teleport into the vaults and loot. Catra and Rachel will provide muscle back-up. • Having heard word of Mingyu's request of a map to Haltham, the Merchant obliges Karsa to send along aura quartz pieces for the operation participants. These will give them access to an exclusive and fully private communication platform throughout the day of the heist. Use the channel for quickie communication between heist participants here. The channel is open to heist participants who are not physically in the bank. • Karsa's only message: If you must do it, do it well — Karsa. • The players of heistin' homies can OOCly vote on the loot options. The grand reveal of what these items are worth, do or amount to will take place later. • En... joy wrecking a local economy? Hooligans.

[ Ignoring the instructions, Catra stalks up to him. ]

And you're sure of that? According to this plan of yours, this whole thing stands and falls with you.

Also, you don't happen to be planning to make off with the coin all by yourself, do you?

[ Narrowing his eyes when she gets in his space. The lack of trust is mutual, but he's at least confident in his own abilities. ]

I'm sure. [ He holds in his temper, but he's still a little more forceful when he continues -- ] What choice do you have? They're looking for us. The sooner we get what we need, the sooner we can move on. We don't have time to come up with other options.

[ Or maybe he's just a control freak. Whatever. ]

I can't carry it all at once, and you could just as easily run off with it when I go back inside. Believe me, if I didn't need you, I wouldn't be asking.

[ So Catra is a contrarian at best, but she's also enough of a strategic thinker to recognize that Five is right: this is their best plan. On top of that, the fact that he just admitted he needs her does appease her a bit; she's already recognized that he is far more powerful than an ordinary child, and admitting this weakness to her means he really is in a vulnerable position. That's good for her. Means she's got some cards in her hand.

She straightens up, leans back on her heels a little, and musters him. ]

Alright then. Leave it to me; no one's laying a hand on that cash.

[ She's more reasonable than he anticipated, and he straightens back up when she relents. It's hard to argue with him given the facts, and he appreciates not having to push through any moral objections. He's already had to make promises that he's not feeling terribly obligated to stick to, so he'd prefer not wasting time addressing them.

And it really is a simple plan. ]

Good. [ He thinks on it a moment, then as he looks at her, he amends: ] At least try not to draw attention to yourself.

[Moran just watches the discussion unfold, letting the whole thing follow its course to its natural conclusion. Of all the things he thought he'd never have to do again, half-parenting younger people is certainly one.]

I'll lead the team inside for distraction and keeping an eye on the situation. We need to make this quick an efficient. I would say thirty minutes as an absolute maximum.
