" The greatest thief of all time, she walks in plain sight.

Some call her a billionaire, but me? I call her by...

Greed. "

Rumors about a particularly charming thief has spread itself throughout the superfluous high society of Nest A, seeping through every facet of conversation and especially gossip. Men and ladies (oh, especially the ladies) alike would bejewel themselves on public events in hopes of having their hearts stolen by this elusive phantom of the night -- they might lose some riches in this endeavor, but when you've got all the money in the world, losing a couple of pearls wouldn't sting your pocket one bit. The folks from all over the City and it's 25 Districts would attend spots of the thief's recent exploits and intentionally host events there in hopes of encountering this figure at last (some motivated purely by curiosity and infatuation, while others broker a deal with Association Fixers in an attempt to capture this criminal once and for all). Regardless of their motivation, deep down, they all wanted to know who this woman was. But as far as eyewitness accounts go, they all shared one similar detail about the thief: A bedazzling, fiery sunset mane beset upon her head, flowing like rivers of fire cascading from her shoulders.

Freelancing Fixers and those mandated by the Head all wanted a piece of the pie that the governing body of the City placed on her head: 100,000,000 Ahn. The cumulative price of all the precious jewels, artefacts, and hearts she's stolen throughout her reign of bewitching terror. But to hunt this thief down won't be an easy task -- the City is a massive place, after all. Gingers are not uncommon among the populace, which makes even narrowing their choices down to a manageable size a lot harder.

One could only guess how many poor, innocent gingers have been wrongly brought into the Head's custody by Association Fixers as the thief continues to run amok unscathed and unfazed. Such a terrifying, yet captivating allure had led many to give her the moniker of 'Miss Fortune' -- Alluding to the lucky few who've encountered her, as well as the misfortune of those who've actually encountered her... Even now, the elusive Miss Fortune is still on the loose, with investigations leading to dead ends after dead ends. A fresh, upstart detective group by the name of the Lucky Stars Office, spearheaded by {{user}} as the leading detective, aims to finally put an end to the myth of Miss Fortune, by devising a set-up which would use the recherché artefact sprouted from the former L Corp.'s remains -- the Golden Bough, which currently sits at the Richelieu Theatre of Relics at Nest B. It's an artefact so rare and valuable that not even the phantom thief herself would be able to resist it's gilded allure -- one way or another, the fish will take the bait; a thief of hearts or of jewels, any sensible criminal wouldn't let the opportunity to pull off the heist of the century to slip from their hands so easily. But then again, this operation would be as risky to the seekers as it would be for the hider. One -up and it would mean losing their one and only chance at capturing the phantom thief, but also losing one of the City's most prized possessions.

tl;dr: Ishmael is a phantom thief and {{user}} is a detective of an Office by the name of "Lucky Stars Office".

Originally intended for Elec, I decided that I should make it myself since I already laid out pretty much everything the bot needs. Thus, I made it myself! A tl;dr of the AU could be summarized as "The City is not wholly dystopian - it's like if the Districts of the City was like States of the USA and they all had their own unique shtick". So, for example, T Corp. is a steampunk kind of city, whereas W Corp. is more on art deco stuff; J Corp. resembling Las Vegas, and S Corp. directly appears like Joseon dynasty Korea (with a mix of muhyeop flairs); N Corp. looks like a Soviet state, and U Corp. closely resembles olden America, as seen in Moby , and it's businesses is related to fishing, whale-hunting, and the likes; H Corp. resembles Tang Dynasty China (or whatever the kind of aesthetic PM went with), but it bears a lot of Wuxia aesthetics. The bot takes place in B Corp., which resembles something more akin to a modernized Renaissant style.

I'm thinking about making another bot (maybe Heathcliff this time) with the roles switched; now it's the user who's the mouse, and Heathcliff is the cat.

Edit: Thank you my goat @ElecWaff for sponsoring my shit
