29-PSA: thievery is for thieves. And hypocrites.

Hammer is standing in front of the camera, and you can practically see the invisible podium from the stance he's in. "Citizens, a word, if you will. There is a lot of thievery going on today, and I, for one, won't take it. I understand that people get jealous sometimes, but that's no reason to go out and rob a person.

Because, you see, when you rob someone of their possessions, you're also robbing their souls. And that's against the law." As he makes his point, he moves a little, and near his window the observant will notice a framed piece of paper. If you look at it more, although the camera cuts off most of the view, you can see that it is granting the holder an
'hD in
ribleness'.

"Thank you, and remember my words."

How does it steal your soul?!

Well, it's very simple, really, it- How old are you?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

... What.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

Do you need help with understanding some of this, Major?

[hidesinrestroom.livejournal.com]

No.

...How do you figure one's soul is tied to their inanimate objects? I'm genuinely curious about your hypothesis on this.

Well, you see, if someone buys, say, a really nice car, and then some vandal steals it from you, all that effort that you put into it, with its cool designs, and perfectly matched colors and top-notch horse-powered engine, will have gone. And with it, that effort becomes a melted puddle of disachievement, and your soul goes with it. Of course, he got what was coming to him, stealing my car like that.

That... is not only a convoluted statement, it's also incorrect. If someone steals your car, it's certainly a financial loss as well as a practical hindrance - additionally, such a theft may possibly weaken one's social standing among their peers depending on if the car is extravagant enough to be considered a status symbol, but... a soul is a purely metaphorical construct.

Ah... Hammer? It's a curse, laddie.

[horrible-protag.livejournal.com]

[OoC: orz, thank you~! Admittedly that bit with the soul is probably the best and most IC thing I've done with him in a while, if not ever.]

A curse? Well, it might be possible, but what sort of curse makes people steal like this, eh, Keats?

[There is a long, long pause.]

I postulate that the city itself may be what took our things from our homes, Hammer.
