>"I must beg to differ, the three gold you paid me for it ahead of time say otherwise."
>Offer broom.

>"Paid in advance? I need one, but I didn't ord--..."
>She gives a mischevious smile.
>"That's right, the broom. How could I forget? I'll just be taking that then."

[Hello Purvis]

>Offer it up.
>"You really helped me out of a jam with that advance payment, you know. Hope this one lasts you!"

[Hanged Hourai]

>Offer it up.
>"You really helped me out of a jam with that advance payment, you know. Hope this one lasts you!"

>She takes the broom.

>"Yeah, yeah. Thanks."
>Inside, you look at Keine who seems confident.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Have a good day!"
>If there's nothing else, depart.

>You leave the area around Mokou's place.
>On the outskirts of the village, you feel a hand on your shoulder.
>"Boo!"

[Hello Purvis]

>Hand outta nowhere?
>"Gya!"

[Hanged Hourai]

>Hand outta nowhere?
>"Gya!"

>You hear laughter from behind you.
>"Wow, I didn't know you would freak out like that."

[Kasu]

> Turn to face unknown person.

[Hanged Hourai]

> Turn to face unknown person.

>It's Tear
>"Hi there."

[Hello Purvis]

>"This is why mysterious unexplained deaths happen, you know. Good news, the plan worked like a charm."

[Hanged Hourai]

>"This is why mysterious unexplained deaths happen, you know. Good news, the plan worked like a charm."

>"Nice, now for the part where we get rich."
>"You go in first and head for the market. I'll sneak in afterwards and then we'll get lotsa money!"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Alright, and how do you want to do the actual takedown?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Alright, and how do you want to do the actual takedown?"

>"How about I make a grand entrance to freak everyone out, then you come from behind and 'knock me unconsious'?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"Too showy. I have another idea. We say you accosted me on the way back, and I managed to overpower you. This way, less public interference. Or running into someone who knows how to tie a good knot."

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Too showy. I have another idea. We say you accosted me on the way back, and I managed to overpower you. This way, less public interference. Or running into someone who knows how to tie a good knot."

>"So you just show up with me all tied up? The villagers might be doubtful."
>"But if you want to do that, then ok."

[Hello Purvis]

>"They might be. But worse would be if they got involved. Maybe we can mix these plans. You take something from the cart, I chase you out of town, come back with you bound up?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"They might be. But worse would be if they got involved. Maybe we can mix these plans. You take something from the cart, I chase you out of town, come back with you bound up?"

>"Sounds like a plan."
>"Now go to the market, I'll find you."

[Hello Purvis]

>To the market. Pocket the strings and colorful cloth.

[Hanged Hourai]

>To the market. Pocket the strings and colorful cloth.

>You go down to the market, with string and cloth at the ready.
>People walk around you without much notice.

[Hello Purvis]

>Hide them in our pockets, then look about as normal.
>In fact, take stock of the opposition.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Hide them in our pockets, then look about as normal.
>In fact, take stock of the opposition.

>You look around and see several vendors, hawking their goods, none paying attention to you.
>As you look, you hear noises in your cart.
>Someone yells, "What's that?!"

[Hello Purvis]

>Look toward the noise.

[Hanged Hourai]

>Look toward the noise.

>You look to see what the noise is.
>In your cart, there is a filthy, hooded figure holding the rusty knife and knee boots.
>The figure winks at you.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Hey! Put those down!"
>Give chase when she flees.

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Hey! Put those down!"
>Give chase when she flees.

>The hooded figure jumps down from the cart and runs through a crowd of people.
>"Holy! It's the thief!" someone yells
>Everyone is murmuring and whispering about what they just saw.
>You chase the hooded figure through the village, catching up beyond the village borders.
>You find Tear with her hood off, resting under a tree.

[Hello Purvis]

>"Good show. Shall we move onto part two?"

[Hanged Hourai]

>"Good show. Shall we move onto part two?"

>"Indeed. Still got that string?"

[Hello Purvis]

>Withdraw it from pockets.
>"Once you get free, take the long way home. Make sure you don't get seen. We'll burn the clothes and stuff on the fire tonight."

[Hanged Hourai]

>Withdraw it from pockets.
>"Once you get free, take the long way home. Make sure you don't get seen. We'll burn the clothes and stuff on the fire tonight."

>"Kay."
>She hold her hands in front of her.

[Smok, destroyer of thoughts]

>Tie her hands like intended
>"you can free yourself from this?"
