A foggy night falls over Decimus. He's out and about, walking on the streets. He seldom likes being around other people, the only friend he needed was his shadow. He picked up this motto as he began stealing things. He started of slow, things like muggings. He had a simple plan that he would always use, and never failed. He would never attempt a theft at day, far too easy to get caught. He would pick his target(s) that were best for his current situation, mostly people who wouldn't be able to chase after him. Tonight he was walking along with a 70+ lady, and she was using a walking stick.
If Decimus could do anything right, it would be spotting an easy target. He had laced the bottom of his shoes with fabric so that as he walked he was silent. He was one of those guys who would use stealth as a first option, but then he would go all out if all else failed, he was no wimp, he could handle himself. As he got closer and closer he saw what he wanted, the purse. Now was the time to try his new technique, he had been working on a way to turn invisible for a short time. He got into an alleyway and powered up the technique. When he looked down at his hand he could see straight through it, it worked! But there was no time for that, he quickly run back after the old lady.
He snatched the purse from her and run as fast as he could. The lady looked confused and scared as her purse seemingly floated off in front of her. All was going well until the invisibility wore off, but even worse than that, the technique had completely drained him. He fell flat on his face, passed out. The old lady walked over and picked up her purse, then walked off again. A failure was something that he never liked, nor did most people. He needed money to fuel his addiction but he didn't have enough. This was the only way he saw fit of getting some quick cash. That was some time ago though. He was now somewhat of a big time thief, he had moved on from old ladies in the street, and was now onto banks, and jewelers. Tonight was the night of the big heist though.
He had picked up a rumor that certain royalty was having a stay in town, only with a 24 carat diamond necklace. This was the day he had been waiting for, this could get him out into the real world, and he could pawn it off and make enough money to be set for his life, As long as all went off without a hitch. He just needed to find the target though. He was able to hack into some networks of the local hotels, and found that the target had made a reservation into some fancy hotel, probably the most expensive one there is here, and he probably should have guessed the target would do that. He always said that, target. He didn't like names, he didn't like making things that personal, and this was a job to him. He quickly ran down to this hotel as fast as he could, not being able to fly like his dad he was quick tired after the run.
That was when he saw the target with his eyes, some old lady, about 45, she was accompanied with 2 large men, presumably body guards. He didn't quite know why she was coming to this town, at this time, but there was only one thing he cared about right now, and that was around her neck. Around half an hour after the target had made it in the building; he decided to make his move. There was no one else around so he didn't have to worry about being watched. He saw that behind the counter there was a large wall of keys, underneath them was the room number they went to. Decimus noticed there was only one missing, so he brought the room right next to it. He walked up the stairs and when he got to his room he waited, waited for a time that he knew she would be asleep. He waited until 1 AM. When he went to check on her, he still had one problem, the body guards.
He went back in his room and continued thinking up plans. He looked up and noticed that there was a vent in the roof, which probably went to all the rooms. Using his Ki he cut a hole into the vent, and climbed inside, taking a rope with him. He slowly crawled along the vent until he got to her room. He cut another hole, just big enough so he could get through. He was right on top of her, and she was fast asleep. However she was still wearing the necklace, which made things a little more complicated. He wrapped the rope around him, and then made a hole in the roof which he could tie the other end to. He then slowly eased himself down, close enough to grab the necklace.
Everything was going fine until the guard opened the door and saw the whole thing. He reached for his gun and fired. Decimus quickly jumped back up into the vent. He crawled over to his room, while the guard was shooting into the roof blindly. Decimus made it back to his room and turned invisible, then jumped right out the window and ran, until the invisibility made him pass out a while after running, he didn't even realize he was shoot until he woke up. He knew one day he would get it right.
