Kyriakos | Memory 35
35. Theft and trickery ★ (Trivial Positive)
In this memory, Tempest and a few others are hired to gather information; the employer's rival has the location of a particular treasure he's interested in, and the more information they can get him, the better. So the group as a whole decides that the best way to get information is to wait for the man to offer it himself, with the assistance of a few mugs of ale.
Of course, it isn't that easy. The man has a high tolerance for alcohol, and he likes to flirt and gamble. So much so that a few of the men end up giving up so they don't end up ruining the entire thing. Tempest, getting fed up with waiting (impatient as she is) decides that she's going to get this done tonight - and leaves the tavern to find a cheap clothing store to get more . . . feminine clothes.
That's right Tempest went and bought a dress. Later on she made the employer pay her for it, but details.
A quick wash and change later, Tempest re-enters the bar dressed up and without her cloak. She doesn't think it'll work as well as it eventually does, though - it turns out the man likes young, skinnny women and . . . well, Tempest fits the bill. So she plays up the flirting and the drinking until she has the man absolutely plastered, and she accepts an invite up to his room.
He does eventually end up spilling the information, after she's drank with him a bit more and slept with him. But if there's one thing Tempest doesn't tolerate, it's assholes. And for the first part of the night she watched this guy be a huge asshole to most of the bar maids there - being grabby, yelling at them and so forth. And it's no secret that Tempest loves revenge.
The next morning, the man wakes up naked and tied to the bed, his clothing stolen as well as his money. And Tempest, back in her regular clothes, is sat downstairs to watch everything play out. He gets freed, runs around screaming about how he's been stolen from etc. and the owner ends up kicking the guy out, still buck naked. And knowing full well Tempest did it, because hey, she's a regular and he knows what she's like, lolz.
She eventually leaves to go give the infoarmation to the employer, which ends up with her getting the next part of the job as well as a little extra for being so efficient.
tl;dr don't act like an asshole in front of Tempest, she'll make you regret it because she's an even bigger asshole.
What she learned:
- She took info-gathering jobs too
- She prefers the "get them drunk" method but it doesn't work with her patience
- She'll also go all out if her patience gets the better of her
- And sleep with the target
- And then steal all his belongings and embarass him because he's an asshole
- And somehow it all works out and she makes extra coin off of it
- well ok
