Plan Time: Pt 2
Everyone, I think it is time that we set our plans into motion. Please, gather at the Invidia mansion as soon as you are able.
[Though for how ominous that sounds, Lion himself isn't there? But there is a phone propped up on the table with a piece of paper under it: "turn me on~" If woken up, they will find that there's a facetime app running and Lion (and likely Ruin too) is on call. It's aimed at his shoulder rather than his face but he's trying!]
Ah- Sorry I can't join you all. Leaving this layer is a bit too much of a risk right now. But I believe last time we all gathered we largely agreed that attacking Greta's funds directly was our best course of action. Ruin has been working on earning a place at the- what was it called?
...
High Roller? Very Well. The High Roller tables- so if previous behavior is to be believed she should come to defend her title if he starts winning large amounts. I suggest we split into two teams- one team to cover and support Ruin as he does this. And one team to attack the bank. I... will not be able to join either side, as Greta may call me to her aid. So you may have to 'fight' me. If so, of course, I will throw any fight and look for a chance to aid you.
The question is this: who would like to do each role? We should likely nominate a leader for the bank team as well.

When we talked about the bank, we weren't really sure if we should do something at the vault itself or with the account administration that Monarch found...
Um... [ she takes a breath and seems to steel herself a bit: ] I think we should do both. If we go after the physical vault, we can cause some chaos as a distraction. And that way, a few people can sneak in and get access to the bank's systems.
As for the distraction, we could put out a heist notice early. My Executor weapon is still in a vault, so if we make that our first "successful" heist by having it disappear, it should be more of a threat when we announce we're going after Greta's vault. Then on the day of that heist, Ruin makes a scene at the casino — if we're right, Greta won't have a choice but to confront him, and everyone's attention will be divided.
I think... that's what a Phantom Thief would do.

I'll do it. [ Just so everyone knows. ] The time we've all spent preparing shouldn't be in vain.

It's possible.....it's also possible that Authority is transferred based on wealth. In that case, if we can raise our own while lowering hers....
[ But then he looks down. ]
Though that's conjecture.

Huh. That feels...nice. ]
Right!

[ Monarch has a moment of grim grimace at that. He still, uh, hasn't figured out what his Executor power is. ]

Yes. I don't like the idea of stealing, but I think it's the best way to manage this. But, um... I also think we really need to make a show of it. I don't know if it's necessarily going to be enough just for us to take her money. She needs to really feel like she's lost to us.
