USERNAME: #B91600 SUBJECT: A Map of Chroma

[heartsteals]

To my fellow refugees:

At long last I have completed a Map of the town and would like to share it with you all. I am far from a cartographer, having only made maps of interiors before this; nonetheless, I hope that it will be of some use.

I must also offer my thanks to Monsieur Bruce and his associates for producing a great many copies of this map. If you would like to have one for yourself, please stop by my home in Ruga - it's the house with red roses blooming in front. Otherwise, I have posted one in the Town Hall building in Ruga for all to view.

That's all that I have to say for today. Be well!

Yours truly,
Lupin

[ just as he says, there's a hand-drawn map of Chroma tacked up in the town hall! If your characters want their own copy, feel free to start an action thread coming to Lupin's house here, too; he'll be sitting in the kitchen with a stack of them to hand out. ]

[Okuyasu genuinely gets up, goes to Town Hall, looks at this map, and goes all the way home just for this.]

which dot is my house
u didn't label em

[heartsteals]

There is some turnover in house inhabitants - people move between them to live with their friends, as well, not to mention that newcomers arrive every now and then. It would have been a great deal of wasted effort to try labeling every house.

Perfect. Thanks for helping with this. I'll come pick up a few copies myself, if you don't mind me taking more than one.

[heartsteals]

You're very welcome! I believe there are more than enough, so I don't mind at all. I've no idea how they managed to make so many copies by hand, but I won't look a gift horse in the mouth.

[gandharva is... not responding to the forum post! namely because he's not sure if lupin holds a grudge over the money goose spam,,,

so lupin's getting a polite knock on his door!!]

[heartsteals]

[ he'll figure it out sooner or later... information gathering is part and parcel of being a master thief. For now, though, Gandharva is safe! He'll find the door open when he gets there; Lupin is sitting inside a little ways, laptop on his knees. ]

Oh! Long time no see. Are you here for a map? I owe you for the wine, anyways.

Question:
Why do you sound like you're from 19th century France?
Don't tell me you're from 19th century France.

[heartsteals]

You're exactly on the mark, actually.

[ good job?!? ]

[Oh dang...!]

This is really useful. Thanks, Lupin-san. I'll definitely come by for one. If we get more new people, they'll especially want to see something like this.

[heartsteals]

My thoughts exactly - and perhaps it will keep them from wandering off into the woods by mistake. You are, of course, more than welcome to a copy, my friend.

This is quite useful, you have my gratitude. I'll be taking one for my home.

[heartsteals]

You're free to do so. It's my pleasure to help out the good people of our town.

I just saw your map in the town hall.

It is extremely useful, and well done. Thank you for your hard work.

[heartsteals]

That is quite a compliment coming from our resident artist.

you know what's bullshit... this text is probably typed in french ]

It was my pleasure, Monsieur Lupin. You worked very hard on the map, it was the least I could do to assist you.

If there's any other way I can help you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you.

- Bruce

[heartsteals]

[ thank you, le batman... lupin is slightly amused to see that. ]

It's fair to say that you have done more than enough - you certainly put in more than ten times the work that I did! I should be the one thanking you.

[osuni]

[Okuni just strolls right on into Lupin's house because surely by "please stop by my home" he meant "please just come on inside and see me without knocking or anything"

At least Okuni's here for purely innocent (90%) intentions, she'd just like a map!!]

Are there still maps left?

[HELLO LUPIN]

[heartsteals]

[ Lupin doesn't think anything of this, because he did make an open invitation for people to stop by on the public network, and also, because he remains tragically (blissfully?) oblivious to Okuni's true nature as a little chaotic gremlin. All he sees is a cute girl walking in... ]

If it isn't Miss Okuni! Of course there are. Go ahead.

oh hey thats handy!
maybe i can do deliveries now

or
get someone to do them for me its not like i get out of the cafe kitchen much

anyway are there any left? i dont wanna be greedy if you're running low

[Copying by hand had to be hell. Kudos to them for the dedication.]

[heartsteals]

[ argh his eyes ]

There are plenty left, my friend. He made sure to copy a generous amount, so that there will be at least one for everybody. What are you delivering?

[doublecrowss]

[ You know he's replying via forums just to be a little shit now, right?? ]

Ah, thieves and their maps. Although I suppose at least you're using your skills for the greater good, this time.

[heartsteals]

You're not much for keeping secrets, are you!

[ this is Lupin shouting at him across the house instead of replying to him... he doesn't actually sound mad about it, at least. It wouldn't really be fair, seeing as he just told Okuyasu that he has a bounty on his head in multiple countries. But still!! People will think he's stealing things here, and then he'll have to do more damage control... ]

If I come over, will you have snacks ready?

[heartsteals]

I do have some fresh spinach.

[ the kids love it ]

#FFFF4D; doesn't seem like you're in the Discord so lemme just say ty oocly too. This helps me tons.

[tendershepherd]

[Color]

Oh! This would be a huge help for me, thank you! May I have one?

I don't have much I can offer in exchange, but... [He knows it's being offered generously, but he'd still like to at least give Lupin something as a trade for a map.] Do you need a bag at all? I've been making bags out of deer hide and have some extra.

you're welcome!!

[heartsteals]

Of course; everyone who lives here is free to take one for themselves. There's no need to give me anything in return. That said, I certainly won't turn down any donations.
