ROLEPLAY- Sig who was only a few metres away from the beach with his head sticking slightly out of the water had heard Peppermint and was everything he could do to not respond. Renna helped him by swimming circles around him, imitating a maraquan grral. He sighed and petted his petpet's head, passing her some fish as a reward for helping him earlier. He swam towards the short once again, and Renna settled on his shoulder as he climbed out. Hs silently started to follow the Cybunny. Having witnesses wasn't the best idea - considering his current rap sheet. -

CrackedSkel Peppermint was unaware that he was being followed. Looking around, his large eyes held a happy look as he looked around for the next customer. An old Shoyru who'd been buying slushies for years. "Here it is, Mr. Piney, but are you sure a Dung slushie is healthy for you?" The tan Shoyru snorted as he took the drink. "I'm gonna die soon anyway, so it doesn't matter. I would've had enough neopoints for buying something else, but some loser Lutari stole what I had for the week! Saw him and his ugly petpet running off to who knows where to spend the points on who knows what!" Peppermint raised a brow. Maybe it was that same Lutari? Shrugging, he said "Have this Berry Blast instead, Mr. Piney. I'll pay for it." The old Shoyru thanked him happily as they switched. After saying goodbye, the Cybunny was on his way again, taking a shortcut through a quiet area of the island to his next stop.

ROLEPLAY- Sig was far enough away to see the interaction, but not to hear it. Renna made a bubbling noise in his ear and he slunk away behind the huts, heading towards his campsite. He hadn't been staying on mystery island for long, and he planned on moving out and back towards Krawk Island as soon as he possibly could, but for now, while he had the security of the trees and the water for Renna he was fine by staying where he was, even if the locals hated him. He climbed carefully through the brush and towards the tiny beach were he way staying.
He took Renna off his shoulder and placed her down into the water, and she promptly disappeared under the surface, likely to go and get some seaweed or something.
Perhaps with the money they stole they could go to Kelp on the way past Maraqua. -

CrackedSkel (Alrighty, I hope you feel better! And your post is good :3)
Peppermint blinked, hearing noise nearby just as he finished his slushie. Looking around as he put the empty cup back in his bag, he tilted his head to see that same Lutari sneaking off. "Hmm..." he murmured, quiet for a moment before deciding to follow. Maybe he could find out where that thief was hiding. Eventually, he was able to spot the other neopet's little settlement. A large ear twitched as he studied everything, glancing as the petpet disappeared into the water. After watching him for a while, the Cybunny called softly, a little nervously, from his spot "W-why are you taking people's money? That's not very nice..." He made sure to keep his distance though. For all he knew, the Lutari could be some weird killer too aside from a thief. It just wouldn't sit right if he hadn't followed to see what was up, and where all the stolen neopoints went. Peppermint wasn't the strongest guy around, but he knew a thing or two on how to defend himself. Not that he wanted to be stupid, like Lightning, and fight things like the Snowager.

ROLEPLAY- Sig had put his hat on in the time between Renna disappearing and Peppermint talking. He looked over at the Cybunny and slowly removed the hat he was wearing, his hand absently falling to his side where he kept his knife. He didn't want to hurt anyone and at the same time, he didn't want to be caught out for stealing. He would defend himself if he needed too. "I don't know." He said slowly as he processed what Peppermint had asked and he flexed his paw. "I guess I like the thrill. I'm a pirate, so what should it matter to you?" -

CrackedSkel (Hi :3)
"Well, it matters to me because stealing is wrong," Peppermint said "Most people know that. You'll be in a lot of trouble if you're caught." He still kept his distance, just talking with the Lutari. He could probably outrun the pirate, but still didn't want to be too close. "Do you spend it on food?" he then asked slowly "Or medicine?" The Cybunny shouldn't really be questioning though, considering what he spent some of his money on. Still, maybe the neopian before him was just trying to get some quick money for some good or necessities or something. That was different, but it still made stealing wrong. "You should try getting a job," he suggested "It's a steadier stream of pay, and you don't get in trouble for the neopoints you get. Or compete in events with points as a prize or something. Anything that doesn't involve stealing." The "thrill" the Lutari apparently liked wasn't worth it.

ROLEPLAY- Sig's eyes followed the Cybunny as he shifted, but he remained still as a board. "You needn't know what I spend my earnings on. Don't be blaming me for stealing when it's just as much fault as the person whose belongings they are. It's not my fault that they leave their bags unattended." He shrugged a little, completely ignoring the suggestion of getting a job. Who would hire a pirate anyway?
After a small bout of silence, he said. "I want to help a friend of mine. They're looking for a way to change their appearance." He said slowly, eyes fixed on Peppermint, ready to gauge his reaction. -

Peppermint blinked at Sig. "Change their appearance," he echoed "You mean a morphing potion or paintbrush? Or actual surgery?" If Sig was expecting anything negative, he wasn't going to get it. If anything, the Cybunny looked curious. "Is something wrong with them?" he then asked, out of a bout of concern. "I... um... if you can elaborate, I can talk to Lightning about us loaning you some neopoints. Just... no stealing? At least until I get a decision from my friend." He knew Sig was coming from a good place if it was for a friend, the points, but stealing was still wrong. Watching the Lutari carefully, he waited on a response. Maybe, if Sig proved himself, Peppermint could convince Lightning to give him a job. They could use another delivery boy or slushie maker. As he waited, he offered a small, hopeful smile.

ROLEPLAY- Sig's eyes narrowed slightly and he took a half step back, as if realising his mistake for talking. "Naww.." He sighed, leaning back a little as he picked up his pack. "I'd rather stick to what I do best." When he was younger, he likely would have jumped at this opportunity, but now he felt as if his life was going nowhere, and if people shunned him for stealing now, they would do it for the rest of his life - so why be anything different when the world saw you as just a petty thief?
He stared at the Cybunny, before tilting his head. "What makes my stealing any different to the Ghost? Or the Pant Devil? Or Skraal's ugly little tax collector?" He asked, eyes flicking towards the water briefly. Where was Renna? She could get him out of this. -

"Look, I'm not going to argue about this," Peppermint said "It looks like we're just going to go in circles, so I'm just going to go. You just keep stealing, I guess. You probably aren't getting any offers like mine in a long time, and it could've done you some good." Turning away, he started hopping away. Just because Sig stole like some of the bigshots, didn't make it right. Anyone who stole wasn't doing anything right. There really wasn't much Peppermint could do in the situation, and it looked like Sig was reluctant to change. So there was no use in sticking around. Taking out a map, he pretty much ignored the Lutari as he left, looking for where his next delivery was.
