On the road to the new Eldorado.

John finally realized that there was a way to do all of that. The municipal junk yard would be a deserted place where he would be alone to try his powers or create a barrier and there would be a lot of random things no-one would miss to train his craft skill on. Furthermore the long tramway ride would give him the opportunity to have fun with passengers. A pop up opened when he decided this was the way to go.

+1 Wisdom: your clever decision makes you wiser.

He really needed some gear if he wanted to farm, he learned that long ago. Of course he had no way to buy magic items or potions but he would have to do with what he had at his disposal. He had noticed earlier that the caffeinated soda he got from the vending machine had boosted his mana regen stronger than simple food or drinks would and he was curious to see what an energy drink would do.

He walked to the deserted tramway station and waited for the next tram. People in such a nice neighborhood didn't use the public transports and all was done to dissuade people to stay here. No benches or vending machine, no news kiosk, poor people were not welcome here.

After a few minutes a tramway stopped and he got inside. The wagon was almost empty and thanks to the new state of the art fully automated line there wasn't even a driver. (John had a free transport card because the company his dad worked for helped design this system. It was very popular with users because the trams always ran on time, a lot less so with the railway unions.)

John spotted a nice looking twenty something girl, wearing business clothes and checking something on a tablet. There was also a morbidly obese man sitting on the other side of the aisle who was looking at her, only interrupting himself to take a hit of his ventolin inhaler.

There was also a middle-aged black woman with a baby in a stroller and two young kids running and screaming on the opposite end of the wagon.

John walked the aisle and while looking at the huge man to make sure the guy would notice him, he went to sit down just next to the girl.

He really needed to lvl up his Theft skill to get more range or make it cheaper. He got his cell phone out and launched a silly idle game which would buzz and flash around even if he didn't do anything and used the advanced version of Theft on the girl.

Her inventory sheet opened in front of him and while pretending to play he looked at what she had on her that he might want to take.

The tablet she was using was a new model and very pricey but she had it in her hands and would notice it disappearing.
Nothing really awesome on her. Her business suit, nice looking but not a brand new one. Expensive but rather plain looking underwear. No expensive jewelry and in her purse only the mish-mash of make-up, tampons, receipts and various useless items he would expect. Using Observe he could see how much was in her wallet and he didn't have any desire to take her 22.56$. The problem was that with all the stuff cluttering her inventory a blind Theft was assured to give him an useless and worthless item.

He just got the explanation for her nice looking attire but low finances. There was a invitation letter for a recruitment interview at the headquarters of Odracir International Trading. She had little to take but to avoid wasting the mana of his spell and giver her a hand for her interview he took her bra.

Soon the tram reached the station he had to change at to reach the junkyard. He left the wagon, disappointed that he wasn't able to have more fun in it. Even taunting the guy by sitting next to her wasn't that fun because nothing interesting had happened afterwards.

There were more people at this station and a few small stores and kiosks. John used this opportunity to buy two six packs of Blue Boar energy drink. He wasn't sure if his idea would work but he loved the stuff and was out of stock at home. He could easily afford the 24$, he had barely made a dent in the treasure he got from Vanessa the day before.

The other line he had to use next, the line 12 was not automated and as such the next tram was delayed 25 minutes and would only arrive in 15 minutes rather than 10 minutes ago.

John went to sit on a bench and opened a can of Blue Boar. It worked! Drinking this stuff got his mana regen to a bit more than 12mp/min and that was without using Meditation or any other buffs.

"No! I told him to fuck himself. Yeah that asshole had no class at all. Can you imagine that just because he bought me this necklace and took me to this trendy new restaurant he thought I was his girlfriend. No, no, I just told him that I was going to the bathroom during the meal and left. Listen, Stacy, you can't let those fucking nerds get ideas. I was way out of his league and he thought it wouldn't matter." John was hearing an obnoxious slut with very obviously fake tits and various other plastic surgeries talk shit to someone on her phone. She circled the bench and went to sit just behind John, out of sight from the rest of the station before lighting a cigarette.

There was a lot of free space all around but she was holding her cigarette in a way that sent smoke in John's face despite the many signs that marked this place as a non-smoking area.

"So are you coming Saturday? Please come, Leroy, Lucius, and Jamaal will be there and if I'm alone they'll ruin my butt. You know I hate it, but if they don't have another free hole I won't have a choice. No they won't stay after it, they don't want to be seen with white chicks so we'll have to do it at Leroy's garage," she continued while sending more smoke John's way.

Some people were truly asking for it, thought John. He really needed some planning. Using advanced Theft he noticed that she was only wearing the skin tight shiny golden shorts and absurdly small tank top he had seen on her. She had no purse on her only one of those small carry pouch things for her phone, money, keys, and a pack of cigarettes.

He left the advanced Theft window open and started casting the regular version of it until she was left totally naked with nothing on her. He then slid the butt plug he had stolen from Frank (a rather sizeable one) and equipped it in her butt. It appeared inside so it was easy, but without any lube or previous stretching she would have a lot of fun to remove it.

John heard her gasp and noticed she stopped talking. He just got up and went to sit on the other side of the station, where he would have a better view of her trying to get away from this situation.

While waiting for his tram he finished his can of Blue Boar, happy to see that drinking it gave him back some mana on top of the regen bonus. Because her clothes were so skimpy to begin with no one had noticed that the girl sitting with her back to everyone (hidden behind the back of the seat) was actually totally naked.

She had nearly no money and few clothes. The only two things of value were the phone and the necklace. He looked at it more closely.

Pearls to swines: cursed item. The person who receives this item will loose all respect for the one offering it.
-200rp towards giver.

A cursed item? Nothing he could use directly.... Unless he made sure someone found it and used it to ruin their relationship with someone else. He couldn't use it for a girl he liked but it was a social weapon of mass destruction (especially if he could steal it back afterward to reuse it).

John was sad that he wouldn't be here to witness the utter humiliation of the bitch whose name he didn't even knew, but the tram was finally there and he had to go to the junkyard. So he just got up and walked on it.
