She doesn't so much accumulate lists of rich enemies.

She laughs. "There's some universally hated billionaires! Those are popular targets. But we can just divine for someone."

Permalink

"All right."

It's a bit easier to pick a bank, first, sorting for relatively easy to break into with magic (which isn't a divinable trait, but Ruby's done enough experimenting to figuring out which traits are both divinable and make a bank easy to steal from). After that, sorting their customers by account sizes and levels of security on those accounts. Unfortunately, big accounts tend to have more security, but 'big' is less important if they're going with something low yield anyways like hacking someone's debit card.

This is a test run, so it doesn't need to be huge.

Yup.

So finding people's ATM-relevant information it is! There's a separate trick to getting the ATM to think you have someone's debit card, and another to getting it to just unlock, but the 'finding information' part is what's more generically relevant to stealing money.

Ruby has her compose a list of target accounts, where they usually withdraw from, and the relevant ATMs - they can hit a couple places in quick succession, too, in case any individual theft turns out too hard.

Sounds like a plan.

Her pet is very clever.

"I am." Headbutt. "A good match for the most genius girlfriend."

Permalink

"Let's go steal some money."

Permalink

Heh.

And onward to theft!

Ruby feels like splurging on her girlfriend after.

Permalink

Her girlfriend does not have much in the way of material desires, but okay.

Permalink

Maybe they can get very nice clothes for a future date at a very nice restaurant.

Permalink

That... sounds like a worthy investment, actually.

"I sometimes have good ideas! You can keep them here, too, if you're worried about space in your dorm."

Permalink

"I think would be better. Keep all my really pretty stuff in one place."

Permalink

Kiss. "Though I might get a bit pouty if you get something prettier than me."

Permalink

"You'll have to forgive my skepticism that such an outfit could exist."

Permalink

"You're sweet."

"Maybe someday I'll make art so beautiful it'd surpass even me, and I'll have to promptly destroy it in my jealousy. To very dramatic music, of course."

Permalink

"Nice resonance. Very mythic."

Permalink

"I am cursed by the Muses to only produce works of unsurpassable beauty."

Permalink

"Hence why one must be destroyed before you can do the next."

Permalink

"Horribly tragic, really."

Permalink

"I shall shed a single tear tonight."

Permalink

"A very important tear."

Permalink

"In honor of my beautiful sacrificial artist."
