Hey guys, been a while since I updated this huh?
Well I was looking over Sybil's Thief outfit and noticed... It looked more like an assassin's attire than a thieves, so that's getting changed this chapter.
And for an apology I'm hitting the big stuff.
[[]]
Sighing as I looked at my outfit, after locking the door and closing all the blinds, and noticed one thing.
"I was really out of my mind picking this stuff." I said to myself, "I'm not gonna be inspiring much of the sight of a master thief with this on."
So with that I walked over to my laptop and opened it, finding it just how I left it back home, minus an Icon of a phoenix on it.
"At least I know how to contact you." I muttered clicking the image, almost instantly opening to reveal Phoenix's helmet.
"Hey Sybil!" Phoenix called out happily, "Nice to see you're already checking in... You rob Chloe already or something?"
"Nah, not yet." I said waving my hand, "It's too early I'd be exposed, rather I wanted to know if I could exchange a few things about my outfit."
Phoenix chuckled, "Didn't like it?" He asked, "Well, normally I wouldn't do this, but I may as well. So what are you after?"
I chose to keep the skin tight suit, though now that I had an idea in mind as to what I called myself I asked for a certain pattern to be added to it and asked for a mouth cover to be added to it. I also decided if I wanted flare I'll go all out, so I kept the hip cape, but I also took a deep purple coat that had buttons up to a tall collar to cover my mouth even further. Finally I took a ballroom mask of a certain design with a set of contacts, which prompted Phoenix to speak up.
"Okay, so this mask I had designed to have a special function." Phoenix said, "Normally your eyes would be visible, however I've added a feature that will set a lens in front of your eyes, acting as Binoculars, night vision and infrared just like that mask. And speaking of that old mask, keep it, you might need it when you face Syren in the future."
"That's assuming I don't prevent that." I noted.
"Sybil... Lets just make sure we've got our grounds covered." Phoenix said, "Speaking of I've got a new set of boots here for you, these little puppies, thanks to pressure sensitive wheels on the heels, will zip you along any thin enough surface, like say... Power lines."
"Nice." I said grinning, "When can I get all this stuff I ordered?"
"Look out your window." Phoenix said before cutting the connection.
Raising an eyebrow I walked over to my window and opened the blinds, revealing a drone hovering there with a parcel tied to it.
"Really?" I asked opening the window and taking the box and removing it from the drone, which flew off, "I guess I'll be sticking with these gloves Phoenix gave me from the start seeing as he didn't add anything new."

After storing away my new gear I entered the lobby of the hotel I was staying in and... Oh boy, Chloe is arguing with Marinette while trying to look good for Adrien.
"Yo!" I called out waving my hand, distracting Chloe, who smiled and walked my way.
"Sybil your timing could not have been better." Chloe said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me toward the hidden heroes of Paris, "Sybil I'd like you to meet Arien Agreste. Son of the famous fashion designer, Gabriel Agreste."
"Nice meeting you Adrien." I said holding out my hand for a hand shake, "Relax, I don't bite."
"Nice to meet you as well." Adrien said shaking my hand, slightly nervous though.
"Why aren't you acting... More... Awed!?" Chloe demanded, "This is Adrien, he's perfect!"
"I..." Adrien started.
"First, I was never big in the fashion world." I started, "And second... He's not my type."
"Huh?" The three people in the group said in surprise.
"How is he not your type?" Chloe demanded.
"Simple." I said with a grin, then turning to Marinette, who looked confused as I gave grin, 'Time for some fun.' I thought, "This on the other hand. Now this is more my type." And thus I clasped my hands around Marinette's cheeks.
"H-h-h-huh W-w-wha-!?" Marinette stammered, "I-I-I'm not that type of girl miss."
"Shame." I said, "So, what's your name cutie?"
"M-Marinette Dupein Chang." Marinette said.
"I am not going to stay for this." Chloe said walking off.
I waited a few minutes before letting out a sigh, "I can't believe that worked." I said getting a look of surprise from the two, "I really don't like her."
"Me neither." Marinette admitted, "So... were you just acting like you were interested in me?"
I chuckled, "Oh no, I'm completely lesbian." I said, "I'm Sybil Eriklon, I'm new here, any reason you two are here? Because if pretty boy here is the some of some famous fashion designer I'd think he'd live in a mansion of some sort."
"Yeah, I do... It's... Kinda lonely I'll admit." Adrien said, getting a look of pity from Marinette, which I noticed and smirked at.
"Well now I know why you're here Mari~" I sang quietly, "But why are you here Adrien?"
"Well... My dad told me I needed to be here tonight for a reveal in the hotel tonight after dark." Adrien said, "My father is displaying some of his new pieces on the third floor ballroom tonight and I've managed to convince Chloe to invite everyone in my class."
"Can you make it?" Marinette asked, "I'm going because I'm trying to become a fashion designer myself really."
"I'd love to try Mari, but I'm still unpacking." I admitted, a lie, "Plus I'm still trying yo get used to the new time zone... It's taking all my effort not to fall asleep right here and now."
"Oh..." Marinette said, "I can ask Alya to take some pictures for you if you want."
"Sure... Here's my number." I said holding out a slip of paper I wrote my number on and handing it to Marinette, then looked at Adrien, "Good luck bud, girls are gonna be all over you like harpies tonight I can feel it."

'I wish I had more time to talk to them.' I thought as night started to fall while I put on my outfit, twirling my cane once, 'But I've got an alibi at the moment and the perfect first heist to make my name known. Tick off Gabriel and embarrass the Bourgeois at the same time! Beautiful.'
When I was fully equipped I opened up one of the air ducts on the top corners of my room and crawled in.
"Dear god don't they ever clean these places?"
[No P.O.V.]
Adrien was surprised among all things.
For once his Father actually came out in person to reveal his new line-up of clothes, which were hidden behind a large curtain that covered the stage.
And Marinette was excited, she was standing next to Adrien, and she was seeing the reveal of new designs.
"Thank you all for coming tonight." Gabriel announced, "It has been a lot of work designing these new outfits and tonight I plan to reveal them all to you all."
Camera's flashed repeatedly as Natalie opened the curtains... Only to receive a series of gasps from the crowd.
"What the-?" Adrien gasp.
"Their gone!?" Marinette cried out.
"What!?" Gabriel growled out turning around to see nothing but a series of empty stands.
"I gotta admit, these are actually pretty good." A female voice announced from the roof, causing everyone to look upward.
Swinging her leg from the rafters was a young woman in a purple skin tight suit etched with silver lines in a crisscross patterns, even forming a heart in the middle, a deep violet fedora on her head, a violet coat over her suit, completely unbuttoned save for the collar around her face, a violet mask covering the rest of her face, with red eyes visible in the eyeholes, with six other red orbs next to them. A cane hanging loosely in her hands, and more importantly, a duffel bag slung over her back.
"Who are you?" Chole demanded stepping forward, "And return those clothes immediately!"
The woman just laughed heartily and stood up, "Now why in the name of Hermes would I do that? I'm a Thief little lady." The woman said aiming the head of her cane at another rafter, "As for who I am... Call me Araignee."
With that the head of her cane shot off and hooked onto a rafter and she swung off her rafter and through the window.
[Sybil P.O.V.]
I burst through the window, detaching my grapple and grappling onto a light post to swing onto the rooftops.
200 Thief Point's per dress and I stole ten brand new dresses I'll never wear. I'm 2000 point's more experienced now.
Looking to the street's below I noticed several cops gathered below, and from the top of the Hotel I saw Ladybug and Cat Noir show up.
"So you're Paris's famous hero duo!" I called out to them, "Been here a month and only now I've seen you. Well then I've got some new things I want to wear so I'll see you later."
Their responses were lost to the wind as I broke into a sprint, 'Stupid impulsive move.' I thought afterwards.

Yeah... I'm tired and I really can't think of a good escape scene at the moment so I hope you all enjoy this chapter and I'll see you next time.
