- Viviana: Any news?
- Ilias: Yes.
- Viviana: Good or bad?
- Ilias: Good. My best friend Ryn will help us as well.
- Viviana: Nice. Do you think he could arrange for us to get a better map?
- Ilias: I don’t know, but that’s not all. Thanks to Sandril, the Academy and several noble families have issued a complaint about the trial. That’ll give us at least another week.
- Viviana: Now that’s good news!
- Ilias: Tomorrow is Seramis Baltor’s wedding anniversary. Shall we go?
- Viviana: For sure! I’ve already worked out a cunning plan.
- Ilias: What’s that?
- Viviana: The cunning plan.
- Ilias: That could actually work. I particularly like the idea with the shoe.
- Viviana: Let’s visit Alissa. We have to discuss everything in detail.

A shoe? Good god, she’s working with Kruschev! Just how manny connections do these Shadowdancers have?!
What’s in the shoe? WHAT’S IN THE SHOE?
A foot. Who’s foot, on the other hand, is the question.
a SHOE? What would you use that for? Knocking out the guards with its stink maybe?
A shoe? Oh no, she’s getting serious!
I’m wondering if the shoe thing involves hiding something in the shoe, or having a blade or climbing device on the bottom. XD
Ilias: “Have you got a plan?”
Viviana: “Yes I have, and it’s so cunning you can brush your teeth with it!”
Viviana: “A plan so cunning, you could stick a tail on it and call it a weasel!”
Ilias: “Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?”
Viviana: “Yes, it is.”
Ilias: “Hmm… That’s cunning.”
When I see “cunning plan”, I immediately think of Baldrick.
Shoe? Does it have something to do with Cinderella plot?
But Ilias should really go for it before she also would think about him as just a friend…

I mean he even likes how she thinks… It’s win win situation if she accepts his proposal…
The shoe might have bombs on it.

That was…rather lacking in the subtlety department I think.
Oh hang on, I think my shoephone is ringing…

Well I always prefered Grand Admiral Blackadder´s style when he respectfuly asked the queen Asphyxia to hand him over the supreme command of the universe, sow button on his spare uniform, and marry him in instant.
This plan… it sounds like a shoe in for success. *I now beg your forgiveness as I go to slap myself repeatedly.*
Wait, so.. is that a plan for the jailbreak, or a plan for the wedding anniversary? Is the plan for them to become the most fabulous couple at the party? Is that why she needed the rainbow knife?? It’s all coming together now!
THE SHOOOOOOOOE!
over two-thirds of the comments are about this mysterious shoe. heh.

That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Cunning plans, involving a shoe? Oh dear. I think i am falling in love with another fictitious individual from a webcomic. This is really becoming a distressing habit
@ Zinc Chloride:
That was ‘O-(-’.'Q) ‘ ‘s line not mine.
I take it you missed the right comment to quote by that much?
Viviana going to the party?where’s a lot of nobility will be?yep,something tells me it would be “Ostap Bender”-style venture.And by that I mean that many if not ALL guests will have their possessions missing at the end of the night
PS:Sorry for my possibly bad english
@ Sambo:
and yet for some reason no one has yet to make the obvious Random Task/ Austin Powers connection.
Malin wrote:
Oh common, Ostap Bender wasn’t a simple thief. He was a trickster. He would rather trick people into giving him their possessions rather than simply stealing those. Where Viviana would prefer taking possessions openly as “payment” or stealing them and living a card.
P.S. Your english is pretty good.
P.P.S. Seeing as you know Ostap Bender, are you from Russia or some former USSR country?

Small bombs? Are we making a closed room murder here?
Trimutius wrote:
Viv is clever enough to use that sort of approach-I mean,she has good looks,and can make people believe her(I dunno how to tell this better).
PS:yes,I am Ukrainian =)
wait… did Ilias just ask Viviana on a date? dude’s smooth.
Nothing’s On the paper she’s just using it as a memory aide.
Malin wrote:
Well yes… But she is not a kind of girl who will persuade others to give her stuff unless they owe her… And even if it is the case she will simply take it (there was example)
@ avid reader:
I don’t think it was intentional, but yes he did; Viviana’s thoughts, on the other hand…
@ Falcon:
The shoe is, in fact, on the OTHER foot.
just stumbled over it and thought it might be good to mention that your story is beeing postet here

if you didn’t know that already
Okay, let’s go over the plan one more time. Phase One is we go to the Baltor’s estate. You and I steal the Avaril while Alissa waits outside in the getaway shoe. Meanwhile Ryn waits outside Lilith’s prison in the thimble. It shouldn’t take long for her to roll doubles and break herself out. For Phase Two we rendevous at Baltic Avenue and wait for somebody to buy our stolen merchandise. For Phase Three we all buy a mansion on Park Place and spend the rest of our days downing martinis and smoking cigars while wearing top hats and monocles.
