Mammon/Viper
An Ode to a Thief
The sweetest lies
the sourest truths
all bite.
Look at that gold
and the wealth they ooze
all light.
They won't mind if
I liberate some
all right?
As I bid farewell
with a hum keeping mum
all night.
Diamonds, coins, silver and more
I don't discriminate
all might.
So long as there's money
I won't be late
all fight!
Prompt Idea:
Viper's a thief, using their Mist Flames to help them pull off heists at parties frequented by the rich. She/he often pretends she's/he's a wealthy person too, while secretly mining information and other things to sell off later. She's/he's angry at the curse, because it's too draining for them to use illusions to keep up an adult appearance, so that cashflow avenue is cut off. Still, after making a name as an Arcobaleno, Viper is approached by the Varia with an offer to be a Guardian. Viper initially refuses, but the Varia are persistent, and keep chasing her/him down, usually interrupting important deals and transactions. Fed up with losing money because of them, Viper agrees to join, but only after an intense haggling session over her/his wages, job benefits, retirement perks, etc. (A lawyer is even hired, but soon passes out from the tension.)
Do you think I should write it as a three-shot? Or would someone else like to take up the prompt?
