Intro for @bethany
Brushing off some dust that he had accumulated on the seat of his grey skinny jeans, Syl exited the bus that brought him to Salem's shopping plaza. It was his intention to rip off the gaming store and cash in whatever he could grab at the pawn shop across town. He needed some cash for the week, on top of whatever else he could spare for his sister. If there was anything left by the time she'd ask him about it... Syl didn't think about that much, if ever, so it sure as hell wasn't on his mind as he crossed through the parking lot and headed for the store in question.
He always showed up to this place at different times of day, just so he could be sure that there would be different people working. Beauty about this one place in particular was that their security cameras were just for show. In Syl's line of work, he could tell when security systems were operational - because he had his fair share of dismantling them. This store might fool a paranoid grade school thief, but not him. He kept his clothing simple, his faded black hoodie as non descriptive as possible - the dark red shirt underneath not visible at all, just in case he had to make a run for it and change out of the top layer. He'd just stuff it in his bag with whatever shit he got and disappear, no big deal.
Syl kept his pace even as he walked in to the place, one of the employees greeting him without looking up from their magazine. He went straight to the back, planning on working his way to the front after making sure the dude and whoever else was on shift was properly distracted. Lucky for him, he didn't really have to do much to make that happen - the guy at the counter was distracting himself without any effort from him - and if anyone else was working there they had to be in the back, probably jerking off to a cardboard cutout or some shit. Syl was well aware that most of the primo games were up front on display, so he had to really play this right. Good thing he didn't mind screwing around with a few demos in the mean time, though when it came to video games he absolutely sucked.
