Once she was climbing the ladder, I knew I was in for an unpleasant visit from the two. So, hastily, I lifted up my feet from the ground and began to flee from the top portion of the roof with Crumbles behind me.Β
I glid down from the roof before anything could occur. Then, landing on the surface safely, I dashed to the entrance of the museum. Certainly, it wasnβt the right decision. Though I had no other choice! Guards were already protecting the first entrance of the area.Β
Once I entered the museum, I was greeted with many valuable historic artifacts, perceived by my very eyes. No, no, I have no intention to steal those⦠But, perhaps.
Suddenly, a thought struck me. The little detective could be in this roomβ¦ Gah!Β
Indeed, there she was. Looking through her papers and whatnot. Good. Theyβre too distracted with her investigations to notice me, yet.Β
Spice made it to the top, just catching sight of Roguefort as they jumped down from the top.Β
βRats!β she cursed, running over and seeing Roguefort run through the museum entrance. Being cocky, as usual.Β
Now she had magic that could get her down, but she didnβt exactly have any spells that allowed her to teleport (Yet, at least). Everything she did have would be too slow. At the very least she felt she had thrown a monkey wrench into the thiefβs original plan.Β
The question was, what to do now? β¦ She dreaded thinking of it, but perhaps now was the time to think like a thief. Spice was the one who was up here now, and clearly Roguefort intended to sneak in from up hereβ¦ So that must mean they had a planned entryway.Β
She looked around the roof for anything that seemed suspicious. There were a few skylights, but none of them seemed particularly loose or helpful. Peering down she could see Walnut working on the clues they had found stillβ¦ and another figure towards the entrance of the roomβ¦ She needed to work fastβ¦ again.Β
It was then that she spotted the opening to a rather large air vent atop the roof of the building. Certainly big enough to fit a cookie insideβ¦ Like the kind youβd see in a movie.Β
βThis is a stupid ideaβ¦ but whatever, I guess I get to be stupid tonight!β Pumpkin Spice said, throwing her hands into the air.
She put her wand into her mouth to help keep the area around her lit as she climbed right into the vent and began to let herself downβ¦ clumsily. Itβs not like she had much of a grip on the metal plating. She wondered what Roguefort did to always make this seem so easy.Β Eventually Spice managed to land herself at the bottom of the vent. It was peering down from the ceiling and she could see the gem itself on display. That wasβ¦ troubling. Not just seeing how easy it was herself, but seeing that she was still quite a bit high in the air.
However, she stayed within the vent for now⦠Clearly Roguefort was on their way to the gem. There was no doubt about that. Maybe if she played her cards right, she could ambush them.
