*The Joker may be apprehended for now, but there are still little crimes going on all over the place. That's simply the way of cities; no one city can be completely devoid of lowlifes. Today seems to be no exception; you can see a cop talking to a store owner, looking perplexed. What might catch your attention, however, is the stolen goods: The store owner is one of those types who pays partly in anemoi, and apparently now can no longer do that as the thieves made off with all of it.

Well isn't this interesting.*

((OOC: A sort of general gossip thread. Talk to the cops, or talk amongst yourselves over this development. Who would wanna steal Anemoi?))

[En route to the coffee shop he sees the cops crowded around the storefront. Curiosity takes hold of him; he may not have any real authority to ask but one of them may recognize him as one of the B-grade villain hunters last week.]

...What's going on here?

OFFICER

"Hmm? Oh, you're one of the guys from the lab, right? Seems like some guys broke in and stole some anemoi. Kind of weird, really, 'cause he says nothing else was touched. They didn't even get near the cash register."

[trustycrowbar]

It's not that weird, officer. Memories mean a lot to people. Some of the amnesiac citizens can get pretty desperate...

[Mordin wouldn't do this, would he? No... he may be impatient and getting frustrated but he puts too much stock into helping people to do something like this... right?]

How much did they take?

[misery_hates_company]

"All of them, he says. Didn't spare a one. Says it must've been pretty organized too. Minimum amount of damage."

[trustycrowbar]

From what you're saying it's more than we normally see go through the labs. Probably means whoever took it didn't expect to use it all on himself...

[The Joker's in lockup for now, so it can't be him. His goons, maybe, but none of them were all that skilled...]

[nomen_est_numen]

Well, it certainly caught Shen's attention, there went half his paycheque! He stands outside the store, gawping.

"... Of all the places in this town..." he splutters.

GOSSIP

Anemoi - isn't that what is suppose to recover our memories?

I'm surprised no one had done this before... that I'm aware of.

[third_alternative]

My question is, why the heck wasn't there better security for them in the first place? After all, it's only our memories that got stolen. No big deal. [He shrugs. But the sarcasm is clear, and Rex is very obviously Not Happy.]
