Throwing a wrench in the Kobold Plot

[happy_kender]

There is a Kender sitting at a table trying to reorganize his pouches and pockets. There are a lot of things strewn on the floor in front of him. Some of them might be yours, most are not. Tass is having a lot of fun doing this. Every once in a while he picks up something from the piles to examine, then he puts it back into a specific pile. Eventually these small piles of objects will be put into specific pouches. He's not experienced in magic and may be placing some dangerous objects together.

The one thing he hasn't taken apart is is map case. That is lovingly stowed on his hip attached to his belt.

(OOC: He's a Kender and has a habit of acquiring things that aren't his. They are usually items that he finds aren't' being used by someone or well, he doesn't know how he got them. Feel free to find him with your stuff.)

"Hey!"

Fry picks up a rubix cube from the pile.

"This is mine. My initials are on it in sharpie. Taking things without asking is stealing."

[happy_kender]

Tass looks at him and smiles, "I was wondering where that came from."

He knits his eyebrow, "Now that's a mean word. I don't steal anything, yet people keep accusing me of it. I just find stuff in my pockets... Also, there's so much interesting stuff lying around that no one is using."

[fry_sandhu]

"It was in my school bag. You did steal it." Fry says.

He gets a notebook out. "What's your name?"

[happy_kender]

Tass stands up to his whole 3 foot height and offers his very tanned hand, "I'm Tasselhoff Burrfoot. Nice to meet you. You're human right?"

Tass' face looks super childish till you see the fine lines etched on his tanned skin. He's actually about 30.

[fry_sandhu]

"Yes." Fry says.

"Are all these items stolen goods?"

[happy_kender]

Like Tass would know, "Acquired, yes, Stolen..." He shrugs. Some of the things there are very mundane like flint and tender, and some food, other's not so much.

[fry_sandhu]

Fry gets his phone out and starts taking pictures of the items, and the kender.

[happy_kender]

"Oh, what's that?" asks Tass as Fry takes the photos, probably messing them up, "That looks magic, is it magic? Where did you get it?"

[fry_sandhu]

"It's my phone. It's mine." Fry says. "I'm gathering evidence so I can get you arrested for being a nasty little thief."

[happy_kender]

"Hey, now," says Tass his smile fading, "That's a really mean thing to say to someone."

Tass starts to replace the things back into his pockets and pouches.

"Look at this," he says looking at Fry's phone, "How did that get here. What is it?"

Not even he knows how he ends up with things, maybe Kender are magic after all.

[fry_sandhu]

OK, now that is not cool. This guy is screwing with him.

Fry launches himself across the table to tackle the kender for his phone back.

[happy_kender]

Tass is quick, you have to be when you are small, and manages to avoid the tackle, "Now, what is that about?"

It wouldn't be nice to hit a child with his staff even one that is probably bigger than he is so, that stays on the ground next to him.

[fry_sandhu]

"GIVE THAT BACK NOW OR YOU'RE NICKED, SUNBEAM!" Fry yells, trying to grab the kender.

"YOU'RE HORRIBLE! I NEED THAT, NOW GIVE IT BACK!"

[happy_kender]

"Sunbeam?" asks the confused Kender, "Give what back, you have your what-cha-cube thing and... oh you mean this. I was just looking at it."

He offers it back to the boy.

[fry_sandhu]

Fry takes it back quickly and puts it in his inside pocket. He's still fuming mad though. He doesn't read the confusion on Tass's face: all he sees is a bully and a thief.

"You can't take things that don't belong to you. You need to give all these things back to their owners."

[happy_kender]

"But no one was using them, well some of them," says Tass. Those things that he has legitimately are his, "And besides, I gave you your stuff back."

Tass picks up his staff and leans on it observing the boy. He's never actually met a child react quite this way before.

[fry_sandhu]

"Only because I made you." Fry says. "In my world they put people like you in prison."

[happy_kender]

"Kender?" asked Tass, "I don't think I'd really like your world, then. I mean an entire race in prison. You'd think we were Gully Dwarves, or something."

Believe me you didn't make Tass do anything, kid.

[fry_sandhu]

"You can't steal here, either." Fry says.

[happy_kender]

"Why do you keep using that word?" asks Tass, "It isn't stealing unless someone is using it. I haven't done that. None of the things I take were being used."

Kender logic.

[fry_sandhu]

"I was using my phone and you stole it right out of my hand."

[happy_kender]

"I don't remember taking it, honest," says Tass, "It just appeared in my hand."

[fry_sandhu]

"You're a liar and I'm reporting you. Theft is taking things that don't belong to you without consent. Don't take my stuff ever again."

Fry walks off, not trusting himself not to punch the guy.

[happy_kender]

Tass shakes his head, humans are weird.
