I thought of making a fic about the weird and somewhat hilarious things we face while playing AC. The first two oneshots are rewritten, but new things will show up with time.
Failed Synchronization
Greed & Gold
The inner conflict of a tempted guard.
And there it lies...
A golden, promising, glittering...
...Temptation.
I just wanted to fly there and take them, spend the hundred coins that were scattered all over the floor in front of me on everything my heart desired. The sight of passer byers who were taking the said coins like their life depended on it didn't help containing myself either.
Damn it all...
You see, it all started on a typical normal day in the beautiful Venice where the sky was blue and the rivers were clear.
That is, until it was my turn to guard the central bank's entrance since the other guards were so busy getting a drink. They're probably passed out on a random ally by now. Lazy idiots...
Anyway, as I started to drown in my boredom and waited for the next useless fool to take my place, I noticed people gathering to take something I couldn't see from where I was standing. But when a man in front of me fell, I finally saw what the madness was about.
I couldn't help but to gasp.
A hundred golden coins lying on the floor.
I just stood there, conflicting my self as the people around me exclaimed:
"MONEY!"
"MONITA!"
"IT'S MY LUCKY DAY!"
"NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!"
You're just keeping to push the line here, people!
Couldn't they see a faithful guard doing his everyday duty, fighting every fiber in his being just so he wouldn't jump and take the coins all to himself?
"GOLD, GOLD!"
That's it! I'm taking the blasted coins!
So our friend ran towards the crowd like the greedy man he turned out to be, shouting, "IT IS MINE!"
He didn't notice the smirking hooded man walking calmly towards the bank, passing the gathered fools and flipping a coin, muttering, "Always work like a charm."
Greedy men's weakness is the colour gold after all.
