I am not a Crook, We are citzens of the Outside. We have rejected the simplistic, boring, regimented, bureaucratic, moral, and ethical scriptures by which society live's. In their place we have substituted our own far more superior ones.
We may physically move among them but we are not of them. Where they are lazy, we are industrious. where they are immoral, we are moral. Where they are liars, we are the Truth. We are probably the greatest power for good to the society that we have discarded.
Why is this so you may ask? It is so because we give the police something to do, someone to chase, some reason for their rushing about in expensive uniforms. And the public... Oh how they listen for the lateset reports on our exploits, How they talk to each other about it and relish every detail !!
And what is the cost of this entertainment and social good ?
Nothing.
The service is free,even though we risk life, limb,and liberty to provide it.
What do we take from them ? Nothing.
Just money, paper, and metal symbols. All of it insured. If we clean out a bank, the money's returned by the crown.
No sacrifice, No sacrifice at all, we are benefactors. But in order for us to accomplish All this good for Them we must operate outside their barriers and well outside of their rules. We must be stealthy as rats in the wainscoting of their society.
If this has in anyway motivated you to seek a alternate lifestyle outside the Norm then lets get organized and get a nice Honest Thieves Guild started.
After all can't have the wizards hoarding all the gems guilt free now can we.
