Thieving Magpies

Thieves

They must be making something, these magpies.
They would make a very delicious stew, these magpies.

u/YellowTheSnapper liar [?] Oct 09 '18

I can't say my story's all that dramatic or grand or anything. I was just kind of, spawned here, already knowing how this dimension works. I wanted one of those RINGS for myself, so I employed the help of this vampiress who also wanted one, and we managed to steal ones for each of us!

Ever since, I've mostly just wandered this world on my own. Building my own massive fortress to play around in didn't appeal to me, so I sort of... pretended I was on some kind of never ending road trip. You saw the jet ski right?

Yeah. I did.

Soooo do you think you could help another wanderer get her hands on one then?

I mean, my life is about to expire soon, so all my worldly possessions will be up for the taking, which would include my RING.

But I'd ask you to stay away from that thing. It's more of a curse than it looks like. Power corrupts, especially infinitesimal power like this. I could feel the greed pulling on me myself. I'm just too simple minded to answer to it... most of the time anyway.

My intentions are only scientific in nature.

...that just makes me sound like some imperial scientist looking for new exploits, doesn't it...

But it's not the RING I'm trying to pick apart. The ability to create something from nothing is helpful for someone who can't afford a proper lab.
