looking for a son! :D

[whereonearth]

Hm? You're wanting me to do the mommy dance? I know your kinks, Player.

Perhaps if you could actually find me someone to engage with...

...I wouldn't be so hard to catch.

Until next crime.

Your player wants to find you a son?

...I'd always thought that kind of thing would be more up to you to handle.

[whereonearth]

A son by definition doesn't have to be by blood. I suppose I could handle it on my own. Like everything else, I could always steal one.

[aibanchou]

All the fun of an heir without the mess of raising him. That sounds effective, actually, if you have the right person.

[whereonearth]

Finding a suitable protege is the real mess. Unless you're offering. You look dependable enough.

[aibanchou]

Me? I'm usually on the crime-prevention side of the law. That is a tempting offer, though... the life of a high-class thief must be exciting. What would be expected of your protege?

[whereonearth]

Well, that's not surprising to hear. I was a detective, before I became a stellar thief.

[ She had to think about that. What would be expected, hm...? ] Well, someone who shows initiative. Willing to learn. Cute. Seems like you have things covered, so far.

what about a nanny

[mary_poppins]

Restlessness and guilt often drive one to leave premature.

what ABOUT a nanny, hahaha.

[whereonearth]

That's one way of putting it.

[steals4fun]

Hello, Carmen.

[whereonearth]

Well, if it isn't my favorite bandit. Long time no see, little king.

[steals4fun]

Too long, Carmen. You've been missed.

[whereonearth]

Of course I am. If I wasn't, I'd be caught by now.

You look as well as usual. You must be bored, bothering to check on me.

[steals4fun]

Ah of course, forgive me.

And not bored, I told you, missed. But sons are meant to check on their mothers.

[whereonearth]

Ah, but it's Valentines Day. Shouldn't it be spent with a fair maiden instead? With as handsome as you are, I'm sure they're lining up.

This is either a terrible or fabulous idea

[color_of_chaos]

[With a quick run-down of this woman from his mun he is thinking of possibilities.]

What if someone did catch you or I suppose became your son? Would you perhaps be willing to work with them to protect the world, without working within the confines of law enforcement of course.

both, definitely both ;D

[whereonearth]

If the world were to be in any sort of danger, it would fail to be able to produce the magnificent works of art I love to lift.

My capture, however, wouldn't be able to sway me to that side, however. But, for my own son, whether by blood or not... I'd be willing to do anything.

hehe :P

[color_of_chaos]

Well I am technically an orphan even if I am self-sufficient.

[He wouldn't admit to wanting another parent, he's too tsundere for that. He would pretend it was entirely a pragmatic decision of gaining a formidable ally.]

Your strategic prowess and information gathering skills would be a welcome addition to help us with the threat all worlds could be facing.

[whereonearth]

'A welcome addition'? Since when does someone ask their mother a favor like that?

What's your name?

[color_of_chaos]

[Well she certainly adapted to this idea quickly.]

My name is Chikage Narukami.

I suppose I did come off as a little rude. Maybe it would be better if I explained the situation in full?

[Right now talking about evil unspeakable gods and nameless horrors sounded a lot more comfortable.]

[whereonearth]

Is Chikage your given name? Or is it Narukami?

...All right, shoot.

[clonksukcer]

You can steal the pyramids, but not enough of a guy's time to spermjack your way to a kid? Way to ruin my borrowed nostalgic fondness here, lady.

[Observe- one (1) smarmy, snarky teenager, hardly ideal son material at first glance. But be aware- the reason he is this way is due to a nearly pathological and all-consuming desire to be like his father figure- suppressing all parts of him that aren't like him until he’s become a practical carbon copy. Rewrite history to make him the son of a elegant master thief, on the other hand... and watch a most peculiar transformation take place...]

[whereonearth]

I've found far more joy in my one night stand being with a detective trying to hunt me down. Baby weight does hinder a proper B&E.

[clonksukcer]

So you're only into guys who's chasing you, and the kinda things that gets you chased don't really match up well with bloat and baby bumps? Ironic situation, that. A professional runaway artist can't even risk catching 22 minutes to herself and a man.

[Taking a few seconds of silence to congratulate himself on the reference puzzle the fact that the Carmen Sandiego was now in front of him, Dave felt a certain sense of curiosity take control. She always seemed to be a pretty strong single woman who didn't need no man from what he could recall...]

Harsh as it is to be you though, what would you even do with a kid? Heard the rootless life-style ain't exactly a recipe for happy childhoods.

[whereonearth]

Neither is knowing one parent is a crook and the other is an upstanding law enforcement officer. Doesn't exactly make for the best bedtime stories.

As for what I would do with a kid? Children can be taught anything. Of course, I'd be sure they had the best toys available to them... the Honjo Masamune, for example, would be a lovely sword for them to hold. Maybe England's Imperial State Crown... or even taking them skydiving over the Great Wall of China.

I'd think of something. Then, hopefully, they'd grow up to be as charming as you.

[clonksukcer]

[He scoffs at her little jab, for he is well aware that his character is not a "charming" one- he's worked very hard to be this abrasive, and takes a perverse sort of pride in it.]

Got nothing valuable on me except my taste in fashion, mam. So even if you say those kinda lines to all the boys, I'm afraid I'm the wrong tree to bark up for priceless artefacts.

Still. Can't deny that'd make for one hell of a birthday gift if you could find the damn thing. Always was more partial to Muramasa blades though, 'cause if Reefer Madness taught me anythin' it's that anythin' the Man says will make you flip out and cut the heads off people is usually cool stuff you should definitely get your hands on. Way better than crown jewels anyway. Kinda hard to sport that kinda bling for bragging rights without getting an SAS team busting down the door on your sweet sixteen.

[He refrains from commenting on her line that children can be taught anything. Judging from the grimace he makes upon hearing it, it may just hit a little too close to home...]
