Who: Laharl the Terrible and YOU!
Where: One of those new jewelry stores
When: Evening
Style: I'll match
Status: OPEN! Heroes, villains, or innocent bystanders welcome~

Forget the rest of the so-called villains. Their ideas of villainry just don't mesh with Laharl's--all that nonsense about distracting the heroes and tiptoeing their way around a good fight.

Laharl is a demon. He enjoys overpowering others more than outwitting them or outmaneuvering them. And it's difficult (and not much fun) to convince anyone of how strong you are without a good demonstration. He doesn't know what foolish mortal summoned him to this world, but since they haven't done a very good job of binding him to any contract, it's high time to exert his own will on the city.

The self-proclaimed Lord of Terror can be found robbing one of Vatheon's largest, finest (and newest) jewelers in broad daylight (well, maybe the more later stages of daylight; he still can't be bothered to wake early). After frightening them into submission with a show of literal fire power, he's enlisted the staff and customers to clean the cases for him. This isn't only about getting loot that isn't wads of paper, it's about recruiting minions. The grin on his face is about as far from friendly as it gets, and he's eagerly anticipating that one of those heroes will show up any minute now.

"See? Everyone cooperates and I might just spare you any unsightly burns."

"Oi oi, what's all this?"

Shiro is no superhero. He hadn't gone by that title for some years now. In fact, he wasn't even wearing a costume or anything: he had just been out shopping and had seen Laharl committing a crime.

Laharl looks way too young to be involved in criminal activity, so Shiro figures he can talk the kid down without getting any superheroes involved. He has a lot of experience with villains, so he's hoping he can stop this with words alone.
paladaddy: (Now that's a funny joke.)

"I'll pass," Shiro said simply. Fangs didn't scare him, so he kept his voice calm and cheerful the whole time he spoke. "I didn't know kids were into jewelry. What are you going to do, wear it all? That would look pretty silly, if you ask me."
paladaddy: (well...)

"It would be a lot easier to just buy them," Shiro said. His eyes were on the fireball, but he wasn't reacting outwardly to it yet. If Laharl started getting fire-happy then he could duck behind a counter and go from there.

With that in mind, he decided to try to trick Laharl. "At least then you wouldn't have to worry about all those tracking devices in the jewelry."

"No, it means they'll find you no matter where you go with them. Tracking devices let superheroes follow you. Didn't you ever wonder why jewelry thieves always get caught in the end?"

Shiro glances over at the store workers, then back at Laharl. He's wondering if maybe he can distract Laharl long enough for the workers to get away safely.
