Uh, whoops. That was me -- I made Quarr as an alternate account for the RTD subforum but clearly forgot to sign out. Sorry!

Oh.

...Wait, why do you need an alternate account for the RTD subforum?

I guess I was afraid you guys would lynch me for abandoning my old RTD without saying anything? Clean slate and all that, really.

Suavely strut over to the barkeep and ask to see his special wares.
Hopefully he'll have something beside ale. Something that'll jog my memory...

"Masks? Haha, what foolishness. Why ever would I want to hide my face? Let those who betrayed me know my identity, my cause. Let them shake in their boots, as the man who once protected them, protects them no longer! I will be the harbinger of their destruction, and they have naught to blame but themselves!"
Looie's the first one to enter the store. Cape draped across his back, he approaches the register. "Hand over the cash, bud. Today's not your lucky day."
The cashier is an older man, in his late thirties. He might even be the manager -- in a flash, he punches Looie in the face, pushes the panic button, and draws a knife.
Looie manages to dodge the punch effortlessly, though the cops are on their way.

Cyrus sits in the driver's seat, engine still going. He can hear sirens in the distance. He's ready to split in a moment's notice.

The second group prepares to enter. Donning masks, they bust through the doors. Dezrick is quick to appropriate an improvised weapon, brandishing a splintered half of a mop menacingly. Finley approaches the register, but backs away once he spots the man's knife. Rolf charges forward, ignoring the danger. He barely evades the cashier's first stab and then delivers a sleek chop to the neck, aiming to incapacitate his enemy with a single blow. The chop doesn't do anything... maybe he pinched the wrong nerve? In the next instant Rolf finds a 3 inch knife embedded in his abdomen.

While this exchange was happening, Dezrick managed to sneak behind the cashier. Bringing the half-mop down across the employee's throat, he gains complete control over the man's movement. After smashing his face into the counter a few times, he opens the cash registers.

"I'm only counting about $600," says Dezrick with a sigh. "Should we search around for the safe?"

The sirens grow louder — sounds like they're getting closer. McCoy doesn't spot anyone close by, but it shouldn't be long now.

Perception roll! {Hidden}
You notice the security camera in the corner of the store. Its light is blinking. Could be a fake, but...

"I guess it's decided then. Convenience store first."
As the group stands up, the door opens. Finley walks in with a scowl.
"What'd I miss?"
"We're leaving, right now."

Dezrick takes the wheel while the other five try to fit themselves into his old Altima. The car was clearly designed for, at most, five people... not six. {4} With some struggling and dubious upholding of traffic laws, the group's in. The sun's already set, and it's well into the night.

The car is parked next the entrance, the engine still running, ready for a quick getaway. The lights in the convenience store are on -- looks like this shop's open 24/7. There's only one guy manning both the registers. If there's a safe, it'd be in the employee room next to the counter.

Finley exhales. "Really, a goddamn convenience store? Are we wannabe gangsters from California? What's next, UZIs?"
"We need money before we do anything serious. A couple thousand will make our next job a hell of a lot easier, so quit complaining," says McCoy.

"I have some ski masks in the dash if you guys want them. You know, to disguise your faces or whatever."

Roll for perception! {Hidden}
You don't spot anything unusual about the store.

There is a double of Rena (I think that is her name) but it is never explained how she got there, nor is there anyone who could pretend to be her.

When was that? I watched the series a while ago, but I don't recall anything of the sort.

This filled up pretty fast. Turn 0 coming in like an hour, maybe less.
