BOZ ROGUE 1
HP: 18/18 | AC: 18 | Perception: +5, Low-Light
Fort: +5 | Ref: +9 | Will: +5
Racket - Thief | Spells Prepared | Skills | Sneak Attack| Extra Space Here
Well, there goes the keeping this quiet. Could be worse than Nico though. Boz just smiles with a little bow.
"Too right, Nico. Too right. A skill not used is a lesson wasted, or something like that." he gives. It's true though, Boz has felt for a long time now that when it comes to Magic, something was going to waste. It was probably too late to ever reach true potential but as it was something in him was outright rotting on the vine. It didn't feel pleasent. Best to change that.
Besides, imagine the kind of mischief a thief can get up to when their skills with skullduggery are *literially* magic.
Nico then tests the mirror and the familiar and Minerva drops that it's only vampiric beings that don't care reflections, for the most part. Boz pats him on the shoulder a bit.
"I thought it was worth a shot, learn something new every day - aye?"

Minerva gave a little genuine smile, Boz responds with friendly comically fake shock. The kind where you know that the next words that come out of his mouth will obviously be a lie.
"A 'Guild'? I have no idea what you might be talking about." he gives with a grin and a little bow. Now, her bringing up a connection to Hecate, that raises an eyebrow. He did say he knew a thing or two about moral flexibility.
"Well, one thing I do already know about Magic is that most of it is just knowing something that the people around you don't. Or at least knowing somefink that nobody knows you know. I mean, I'm not an expert on Magic or Gods - but doesn't Hecate prefer a certain type of person for prayin'? And I don't just mean Witches." he gives with a scratch of the back of the head. If he was remembering correctly, doesn't Hecate prefer Women as worshippers?
"Let's keep it simple for now and build slowly, but sounds like we got the basics of something, aye?" he gives, taking the hand to give it a shake. A little Give and Take, a little Quid Pro Quo - aye?

Oh! Congraduations on finding Soverign City's last in-service Typewriter.

Well shoot, first 17 of the game if I am reading that right.

Did I do that wrong?
Sergio is going full Secret Identity with Shriek. In fact that this point the rumor is that the Shriek is a literial Demon from Hell. How could that rumor get started, I wonder?

Oh, not just Hecuba. When Minerva does her little trick to grab her coin bag of course everyone can watch the bag float to her hand. Boz might have been the only one that could watch the hand going out to the bag though, the invisible force looking like a hand made out of vibrant energy to him.
It, uh, might have given the game away a bit.
Still though, with the job laid out of course he has to smile as he quietly consults with Nico, his bruv-with-another-muv.
"So 25 gold and a free boatride, 10 up front, and all we have to do is *not* rob that guy? Think we can manage that. The guild will get it's cut if we go for anyone else." he gives with a chuckle. Alright, in fairness part of the job was making sure the junior priest didn't get robbed but still! Who was the most likely to rob him anyway?
As they went over to the Hook and Bar, Minerva comes over and asks him one of the big questions point blank. His first impulse? Sell the lie harder.
"Neva' said I was a Clown. I said I was an Acrobat an'..."
Right then, a wicked idea crosses Boz's brain. Pretty good one actually, he thought so at least. He looks to the sides to make sure nobody else is listening except maybe Nico.
"Alright, I'll tell *you* because as a Witch you get Moral Flexibility an' that a proper workin' relationship means havin' a little Give and Take. We can cut a Deal or two, aye?" he starts, taking a breath before he actually gets ready to tell the truth to someone outside the Family for once. Or close to it at least.
"Not an Acrobat. I'm kind of amazed none of you thought 'ay, wait a tick - when was the last time we even had a circus?' Pssh." he gives with a low chuckle.
"Nico and I weren't lying earlier. We did get the kind of education you get from the streets, aye? Jus' never used them to entertain the kiddies. Way I figure it, I'm what happens when someone who was supposed to be a Mage doesn't get their proper Academy Schoolin'. Bastard son of a Wizard or somefink' like that. I just know that I can See Magic. Always have. It's just an 8th Color on the Rainbow for me.
So what if we Favor Bank this, aye? You teach me some proper Magic, I teach you some of My skills too? Or just pay you back in Favors?"

Glad you like, you can't see it but I'm taking a little bow.

BOZ ROGUE 1

"Pretty sure the Guild won't mind, as long as we keep the code and they get their percentage - aye?" Boz had responded to that job possibility with a bit of a twinkle in his eye. Maybe there was also a little bit of naked Greed but he's a Thief. What do you expect? At least he was among his people, though whether it was Nature or Nuture that he became a Thief is obviously up for debate.
And at that meeting was a subtle bit of evidence for Nuture and that Boz's Nature should be something else. Minerva and her Owl were of course getting attention, but Boz's eyes say that he's seeing something a little different. It takes him a second to figure out what he's seeing, it was like this fog or energy was skitting between the two of then and - Oh, he's looking at a Familiar.
Stop it, before you give too much of the game away.
"And yeah, pretty much the same here. Right Tragic Upbringings, we had. Still, between that and the circus you'd be surprised the skills you pick up, aye?" he gives with a matching bow of his own.

BOZ ROGUE 1

Well, he liked it here. He could see his career requiring him to head somewhere larger at one point, but for now Port Torvin was home. Port Torvin was home and the Guild was Family. A few days ago he was running a bit short on funds, sure - but what does someone like him do when he's short on funds? Goes out and Steals some, of course.
Oh, don't look like that. Port Torvin's local Thieves Guild was right respectable, it was. This wasn't random crime and cruelty for no reason, this was thieves using their heads and bein' organized about this. You know when the last time was that the Guild killed someone for somethin' other then Self-Defense? Honest question, if it's ever happened Boz didn't know about it either. Professionals, have Standards. Rules. Do this nice and proper, aye?
Boz has that hungry look in his eyes of someone that's had to work, or steal, for everything he's had in life. He keeps his eyes open, his knives sharp, and his mind racing just to survive and it kind of shows. Tends for darker clothing with hoods and often walks on the balls of his feet just out of habit. A bit on the short side with short hair, but also a bit on the handsome side so it kind of evens out. His face always has a smirk on it like he's on the inside of a joke nobody else was. Maybe he was. Seemed that way sometimes.
And the night Boz heard of the job, he was in the middle of another one. Not alone, always best to at least work a job in a pair. Someone can keep on the detail work while someone else keeps eyes open. The dark of night never did bother him too much, there was a joke that he had some Catfolk blood in him but Boz knew the truth. Yeah, he did have something special in his eyes and in his blood - but that's not what was it.
"Hold on, bruv. Something wrong with the Lock."
The day Boz realized that he could naturally see Magic when most others couldn't was an interesting one. And he hasn't told many people about it sense. Magic door lock. Not by a lot. Could just make an alarm noise if someone messes with it without the key, maybe it's just harder to pick. Something like that. Either way, Boz goes for going around the side. The front door lock had a spell on it maybe but not the employee entrance. That was a harder pick, but it worked.
The job news came from when they fenced the prizes. Of course, thieves talk among themselves. He couldn't think of any particularly good scores on the horizon so it didn't seem like checking out the temple work wouldn't do any harm. Now, just to keep stories straight - maybe they don't advertize that they're Thieves, especially from the Guild. Aye?
"'Allo. Jus' call me Boz, his name is Nico. Say 'Allo, Nico. We're Acrobats. Rough times at the Carnival circuit." he gives. It's probably not a great story but it might be good enough for now.
"Hear the God of Fish might have a job, aye?"
-
Sorry, just realized I never responded to you outside of my head.
Alright, Ena and Cullen are different people. More experienced proper crooks passing lessons to the younger generation.
Feels like these two would know each other then, almost certainly have done jobs together. Possibly even grew up next to each other. If so, do kind of like the idea that Boz's rep in the guild says young but lucky- and a chunk of the secret behind Boz's luck is that Boz has an extra sense or two you normally only see in particularly dedicated magic users. Boz just naturally *sees* magic like it's just another color on the spectrum and Nico knows about it. Just a thought.

Woot, Woot!
