Aki strode down a pathway in Sky Peak Village, her tail swinging behind her. She was searching for someone to interact with, but so far she was coming up empty pawed. Shame, for she was rather bored today. All she needed was a little action going on right now, maybe a good old fashioned fight to start.
But eh, it wasn't that bad out at the moment, so perhaps no fight was needed to enjoy herself for a bit. She had heard of a lovely garden that was here, maybe she could head over there?

To say that Thalia had poor attitude management was a compliment and a half. Because she was civil, quite kind sometimes as well. Well, it seemed that Sky Peak Village was entirely and wholly undeserving of her presence, as she had been kicked out of the local tavern.
There she stood, shouting profanities from the street at the tavern owner in an accent that was far too reminiscent of the docks workers in Eclipse City, though her voice held none of that same grumble. It was high pitched and nasal1, and she shouted: “You're a right knob you know that?! Piss poor establishment too, the swill you serve these people shames yer mum, you bleedin’ git!”
Thalia was loud enough that she was causing a bit of a ruckus outside of the tavern, with the burly human man who had kicked her out essentially rolling his eyes at her and slamming the door in her face. Now typically, Thalia would practice restraint and kindness… but on a day where she hadn't drank in over 24 hours, she was growing irritable.
Letting out a growl of irritation, Thalia raked a hand through her hair, her teeth gritted in fury. Her head was killing her, and she had been out of mead for a few days now. She might very well go insane. Groaning theatrically, Thalia weighs her options. Either she dips, or she acts petty, her two default modes really. Decisions, decisions…
1 Basically, imagine a Valley girl with a very slight Scottish accent that gets thicker when she yells.

Aki heard a commotion nearby, strolling on over quite casually to check it out. Seeing a moon elf angrily cursing at a building, she had found the right person to talk with. Moving on over, she planted herself right next to the moon elf. She waited for a moment, then introduced herself.
"Hey there, names Aki." She introduced herself, extending a paw to shake. "You seem mad. Just get kicked out of here?" Aki questioned lightly, a small grin on her face. "I wouldn't throw a fit over it, some places are just plain boring."
She gave a laugh, amused at herself. "But, of course, if you wanna be mad go on ahead. This place needs some action right now."

Thalia was glaring with her arms crossed at the ground, thinking of what to do when her rather rude thoughts were disrupted by what appeared to be an ashen-colored felinekin walking up the road. The woman frowned, looking at her with some regular apprehension.
"...Hi." Thalia started, her head a little achy as she blinked long and hard, pinching her nose and rubbing the back of her one visible eye with one hand. "Ugh, sorry, migraine. My name here and everywhere else is Thalia, Thalia Fellstar. Well met, Aki." Thalia shook Aki's paw, curious by the feel of the fur but keeping it to herself. She had clearly not forgotten her manners. "Anyway, yeah. I just got done taking up an odd job nearby. This place is like, really anal about 'common courtesy'." She used pretty large air quotes for that one.
Then Thalia had an idea, a dumb one, but a fun one. A wide grin, mischievously sinister, spread across her face. "I could always try disrupting the peace..."

Aki gave a grin in response to Thalias grin. "I like the sound of that, indeed I do!" She laughed, putting her paws on her hips. She was liking this Thalia person already, indeed she was. "You need some help with it?" Aki asked, a hopeful gleam in her light green eyes. "I've got some tricks up my sleeves, you know." Of course, you needed to ignore the fact that she had no sleeves to hide tricks in.
She waited for Thalia to give a yes or a no, and with a yes then what the plan was going to be. Hopefully something good, although Aki could probably find any petty revenge where you disturb peaceful citizens good. Whatever it would end up being, she could make it fun. Thalia looked like a good person to have some fun with, whatever the fun ended up being.

Thalia considered Aki for a moment, giving her a swift once over as she tapped her chin. Some assistance in starting a tavern brawl would be fun, though a little risky. It had been ages since she caused such chaos, especially in public. Also, Thalia really liked Aki’s vibe. She seemed down to cause petty problems with a complete stranger at the drop of a hat, too? Sounded like her kind of person.
“Well, if you’re down with starting and possibly partaking in a tavern fight that could cause tons of property damage…” Thalia proposed with a smirk. “There’s a buncha rough and tumble looking guys in there, I saw a few playing dice games in the corner. It’d be pretty funny if someone was accused of cheating.”
Okay, so Cyran would probably pass out the next time she saw him, but that’s why he didn’t have to know, right? Right. Seemed like sound logic to her.

Aki grinned wider, eyes lighting up. A tavern brawl, hm? Now that she would love to do. "Ah, that sounds great!" She replied happily. Quickly thinking up some schemes, she thought for a moment. "Hmm, you got any plans? Worst case scenario, I could always hop in a game and cheat my way to victory." She commented, enjoying how they were plotting right outside the place they were about to cause a rampage at.
She could always slip in some new dice, of course, and start a smaller fight, but she wanted something big. Something that, instead of just that table fighting, could get the whole tavern riled up. Something to make them all choose sides. What they needed was something to go horribly, horribly right for them.

Thalia hummed in thought, crossing her arms and popping her hip out to the side as she did. A tavern brawl was pretty hard to start honestly, but if you had the right crowd anything was possible. Oh yeah watched as a man walked into the tavern, his head bowed. That gave her an idea.
“How about this...” she started after a moment of serious contemplation, clapping her hands together as she invented an idea out of thin air. She led Aki over to the side so that they weren't in the way, also so that they were able to speak a little bit more privately.
The plan was only simple by principle, but it sure as hell was fun. The way Thalia describes it went as such: Aki walks in and Thalia follows after, Aki chats up one of the richer regulars while Thalia sneaks over to the table with the dice players and bumps into it, hopefully getting a few coins and die on the floor. Swap them out with counterfeits, return to Aki, plant the stolen dice and gold into the pocket of the regulars, and once they realize that they've been stolen from, a fight will hopefully break out. It’s not full proof, but Thalia is petty enough to make it work.

Aki nodded in response to hearing the plan. "Sounds perfect. But, weren't you kicked out? How do you plan on getting back in?" She questioned, realizing that had been skipped over. Might be a bit of a flaw in the plan, unless Thalia had a way to get in unnoticed. Or they both could just ignore that fact and go in anyway, but that could be a bit harder to do.
Whatever Thalia said about getting herself in, she was liking this plan quite a bit. It might take some more effort than it seemed, however. She rocked back and forth on her heels, listening to Thalia explain her way of getting into the tavern without being seen by the guards.

Aki’s inquiry about her getting inside wasn't missed, and Talia grinned. “I've got that covered. I've got a Cloak of Shadows, see?” Talia then reached back, mimicking putting a hood on despite her current cardigan not having one. Pinching the air where a hood would be, a black hood made of wisps and shadow materialized, and when she put it over her head the entirety of her form was shrouded in shadow. The only thing that remained visible was her one eye, which glowed a bright pink color, pupilless.
“See? As long as I stay in a shadow then I'm basically invisible!” She said, gesturing wildly with her hands to herself. Plumes of black smoke billowed off of her. “I'll stand in your shadow until we get inside, then we can make it work that way.” Talia then dropped the spell with a snap of her fingers. “I think we'll need a sign though. Something we can shoot to the other person things can go right. Any ideas?”
