5th Turn [Video/Action] Forward Dated to the 26th

[It's late at night that the video feed opens. The thief is there, not remembering proper camera etiquette again, with a finger held up to his smiling lips. "Be quiet," he seems to be asking. Not that it would save him.

While he's requesting quiet, he himself is haphazardly humming a soft, haunting melody, the title of which he will swear to the day that he dies that he doesn't know. For a man who hasn't spoken to God in years, his humming is strangely reverent.

The viewers soon realize why.

The thief removes himself from the video feed, presenting a scale replica of a cathedral that some may recognize as the forever incomplete Sagrada Familia, the magnum opus of the deceased architect, Gaudi. Done up entirely in matchsticks and glue, and delicately standing on the coffee table in front of Lupin's zebra print sofa, it is but a faint echo of the original's majesty.

Astute observers will notice something different about it--it doesn't look as incomplete as it is in real life. The thief comes back into view, smiling.

There are secrets lingering just beneath the surface of his gaze. He will say nothing that will indicate what, though.]


Beautiful, isn't it. Been feeling a little nostalgic, for some reason. I thought the Old Man would appreciate it.

I'll bet.

[He grins.]

Still a helluva sight. Matchstick-wise, at leas'.

[ oh so dryly: ] Please don't tell me he was some kind of top-secret ninja architect.

Fair enough. Say, speaking of carpentry, that place is almost done. Just needs a bit more work, and then you can start painting and using it.

Yea, sure, but there's a catch.

I've decided to start putting together another building. A shrine, for Moro and the other gods here. But you knew that. What you didn't know, is that you get to help.

Who inherits the rest of his stuff anyway? The baseball seats and all that? I bet I could find a buyer... in the right market. Then we could recoup some of the losses.

[Isn't it cute how she says "we" not meaning "we" at all.]

Oh. I can do the math. Did the math ages ago. I just wanna let you know that it's cruel and unusual to spring a pop quiz on a stranger.

[ in other words? she's being typically difficult. ]

...Possibly the kind of little kid who preferred fantasizing about a perfectly normal life, instead.
