A Tri-Force of Crime [FAX/Bloo]

"It is ONE bag full of jewelry. Rings, and necklaces- some of which break into the high thousand or low two thousand range at retail price," she said flatly, subtly hinting at that there were more bags where these came from. "Quarter of a million," she added not exaggerating. And in her mind she was being generous. She was factoring in the work she and Fox did compared to the him selling the goods off. But naturally clients loved to get things cheaper then they actually were so she was also factoring that in. This was all guestimation right now though, since she didn't know how connected and influential he was just yet.

[Making me pull a random number out of my butt. How dare you Bloo lol]

"Yeah, a quarter of a million." Fox said, merely backing up his partner. In reality he had absolutely no idea how much all the stuff they'd stolen was worth. As long as it kept him fed and a roof over his head, and some time to spend with Adri... well that was good enough for him. If this Sinbad guy could take their loot and turn it into money for Adri then that just meant Fox and Adri would have more time to spend doing fun stuff!

"So what do you think? Pretty awesome right? So... you can turn this all into cash right?" Fox added, feeling like he needed to at least come across like he knew what he was doing. He was a professional too, even if he still didn't quite understand a lot of this stuff going on.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, Adriana would consider this more of a peace offering from his more generous offer. Still, fifty grand was fifty extra grand in their pockets. "Phones are currently out of the question. Haven't bought any," she replied simply. Adriana was a tad paranoid with keeping stolen phones for the off chance that someone would get into contact with their provider and track their phone down. Plus since it was just her and Fox up until now, there had been no reason to have phones. She also left it unsaid that they had stolen some phones already.

Fox frowned behind his mask. He didn't like the mention of phones being needed, but for completely different reasons. Mostly the fact that no one had bothered to explain to him exactly HOW one worked a phone, just what they did. So far all he knew about them was that most people seemed way too attached to them, seemingly talking to the things, and that the items could take pictures. The fact that they could transmit one's voice to another phone had never occurred to him.

Thankfully Adri had a much more plausible reason for them not to use any phones.

"I don't like phones..." Fox commented shyly.

Weaver ignored the random thought concerning their lack of a phone. What did having a phone have to do with being efficient at stealing? But a more pressing matter was he revealed what kind of power he had. Portals? She blinked in surprise and... intrigue. Didn't take her long at all to consider how useful that would be for her and Fox. Could it be used to rob bank vaults? No... if that were the case, he wouldn't be acting as a fence. So storage then? That was still very useful. "Affording one was never the issue," she said flatly before counting the money. Not because she didn't trust him, she had a 'wire-tap' on his brain. She just flicked through it and enjoyed having that much money on hand at one time.

Fox watched as Sinbad opened up a portal from out of thin air, causing the Kitsune's eyes to light up behind his mask yet again from sheer surprise. He'd heard about magical portals and the like, in fact he could even use a portal of sorts with his shadows in an emergency... but seeing one so easily appear and then close on a whim was something rather impressive to one who knew something about magic. Just what kind of magic was Sinbad using?

Similar thoughts ran through Fox's head on the uses of such a portal, and came to the same conclusion that it was apparently for storage. The only question was did it lead to some static area in this world, or was it it's own place altogether? Whatever the case was it didn't really concern Fox... he was simply curious at the workings since it seemed magical in nature. At Sinbad's comment about letting Weaver handle the phones Fox simply nodded, letting out a little sigh of relief.

Fox looked over at Weaver as she started to flip through the paper money.

"Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as the jingling of coins." Fox commented under his breath, just loud enough for Weaver to hear him. He still didn't like paper money, though he could see the advantages of it. After all, paper money didn't weigh as much as a pocket full of gold or silver coins and it certainly made less noise. Fox just liked things the way he remembered them, and it seemed the whole world was intent on hammering home the point that nearly nothing was the same for him anymore. A glance at Weaver and he smiled behind his mask, reminding him that not all changes were bad.

They had the money now, and normally that would have been enough for her to just leave. But if she wanted to continue making use of Sinbad's services, they'd probably have to continue with this phone business. And it was also the mention of removing their masks that bothered her. Fox would be fine with his illusions, and they were now business partners. Adriana still didn't trust him enough not to remove the wire-tap yet. She'd nod to Fox and remove her mask, Sinbad was totally right about that. Would be much easier to buy a phone without people thinking you were going to rob them.

Fox was obviously a little concerned about removing his own mask as he started to fidget a bit, looking toward Weaver for some confirmation. When she nodded and removed her mask he simply nodded in return and waved a hand in front of his own mask, turning his mask's face into her own. He had briefly considered using Sinbad's face for this illusion but he wasn't certain how well the fellow would take that, and Fox had already used Weaver's face a few times when they weren't going out to gather loot.

"I prefer to keep my mask on... for... reasons." Fox said, not wanting to give Sinbad too much information and unable to really come up with a plausible excuse so quickly. Thankfully the illusion was perfect, the fake face looking just like the real thing up to the point where it mimicked his expressions and the mouth moved as he spoke.

Adriana said nothing, following after him while also learning more from eavesdropping on his thoughts. They did have to play the twins angle before with Fox's disguise. It had worked thus far but she did hope he'd learn to use other faces. There was all kinds of things they could pull off if he could disguise himself as other people. But for now there was no harm in his disguising his face as hers. Once they were inside, she'd find the cheapest but most reliable phone. She had no plans to wile away hours on some silly mobile app or game like she had seen so many people her age. And she'd make sure to put a password on it too...

Fox walked alongside Adriana, keeping his face neutral so that his mask wouldn't show any other emotion either. As they entered the store he didn't want his nervousness showing though. While the others thought about what his limit on changing his face was with his mask, his mind was more on the here and now... mainly what the heck was a phone really for and how was he supposed to know how to use one? He followed Adri, pretending to browse the selection of phones. In reality he didn't know what he was supposed to be looking for in a phone.

Thankfully he didn't need to know. As Adri picked out a simple but reliable phone he picked the exact same model. He didn't know that these things could play games or send texts and such, nor would he have been able to easily navigate the menus anyway since he couldn't read English.

"This one seems... fine?" Fox said, not really sounding sure in his selection of devices.
