materialistic || kleptomaniac || creative

Aspen is the black sheep of the family. After professing her love of music to her family, she was disowned and cast out. Countless times her family covered up her klepto-tendencies but now they came in handy, as she sold her hoard of goods to purchase a block of cheap land in the desert. Now with little more than a tent and some basic items to her name, she is starting from scratch, hoping to get a foothold in the door with her music. Will she make it or will she succumb to the thrill of the steal to get by?

One thing Noelle Freeman couldn’t help notice was that her connection – however misunderstood – to Nancy Landgraab didn’t go unnoticed.

Whether that was by her sort-of romances…

How fake is this text? You’re trying too hard to be cool, Maki.

Or by the fact that high-end lounges in Nancy’s neighbourhood were suddenly allowing her entrance.

Never one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Noelle walked right in and drew all attention to herself. If it was going to be there anyway, might as well control how. 

Even if it meant usurping the paid entertainers. Poor Baako ‘Cupid’ Jang.

Some patrons caught on and kept up…

Others were clearly not as impressed. Dropping Nancy’s name might’ve got Noelle entrance into the lounge, but it wouldn’t get her accepted by Nancy’s people.

Still, the phenomenon gave Noelle a boost in confidence. She went from stealing dirty dishes at work to stealing produce…

… and charging on with her reign of mischievous terror amongst the town.

Even scoring her long longed for Chinese food…

… at a discount, under the agreement that with a discount, she’d get out of sight.

Evidently, Eva hadn’t forgiven Noelle’s pregnancy comments.

Her growing reputation also had a caveat: people knew her as a chair thief, and she intended to live up to it, getting more brash and open as she went.

Where do they go? Magic!

Of course, to continue her notoriety… Noelle had to continue winning over Nancy.
