>#TEAMRING: Rock the heist. (PART TWO) The Heir, transparent, filters his - no, her way into dozens of rooms. She is looking for a ring. She finds several - on bedstands, in cupboards, behind refrigerators and under beds and within underwear drawers. She - no, he gathers each one, checks their captcha codes - damn. Each one is precisely as unique as the others. The Doctor has done an excellent job of hiding the real one. The Sprite, too complex for an epithet, sets dominoes in motion. Forward and backward in time, they lay trails for #3 and #5 to track, they slow down #1, speed up #2, seduce #4. Set fires for #11 to put out. They create paradoxes to confuse #6, shuffle #10 around, give #7 some heartfelt relationship advice, kite #14 and #15 into each other, and... kind of just leave #12 and #13 alone. They’re little more than complications. The Thief, battle-ready, and the Rogue, beautiful, arrive at the Vault. A massive, hulking thing - to break the door would be absurdly inauspicious, unleashing a cascade of bad luck. Fortunately for our protagonists, the Rogue can walk through walls. What she cannot walk through so easily is a Demoness. She stands, in their way, needles at the ready. She shares a glance of deferred recognition with the Thief, who readies her 2x3dent. The Rogue cracks her knuckles, her neck, her... a lot of joints, she’s fifty. This is sure to be a legendary fight. ==>
