[Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, a small child dressed in a raccoon hoodie and a mask is rifling through your things. She will be taking anything shiny or valuable and shoving it in her backpack.]

[AJ is returning to her work, trotting around the corner to pick up her bag of gear... and then sees the little disguised human]

Well, hey there, little critter. [she is suddenly right behind you!] Don't think those belong t'you.

[theraccoon]

[Being caught isn't so surprising, Chandra has been caught many times before. She didn't become a master of escape by not being chased a few times.

She has never been caught by a pony before, though. And this pony is absolutely adorable and Chandra isn't sure if she should run or give Applejack a hug.]

Ohmygosh a talking pony!

[She still has Applejack's things in her hands, though.]

[deciderly]

Yes, Ah'm a pony. But what're you, exactly? [she doesn't want to be rude but... her stuff! AJ's keeping her eyes on it. if she does have to chase, she's the fastest pony in Ponyville, at least on legs]

[theraccoon]

I'm a raccoon, duh! Don't you see the tail?

[She wiggles in place a little so that the tail attached to her backpack swings back and forth a few times.

She might also be evaluating her avenues of escape while she stalls Applejack. That window is looking like a good option.]

[deciderly]

Yer bigger'n any raccoon I've ever seen. But yer both little thieves! [she advances on the raccoon creature]

[theraccoon]

[Whoops! Talking is done now then. She's diving for the window now, keeping the stuff tucked under one arm while she reaches out with the other to vault herself out the open window.]

[deciderly]

[grrr! Applejack leaps out the window after her. the chase has begun!]

Come inta my farm, will ya? Get back here! [if that little raccoon didn't have her lasso, they would have been stopped by now]

[theraccoon]

You gotta catch me first!

[Not that she wants to be caught, but she can't resist a taunting. She's running across Applejack's yard now, trying to get to another house to hide behind it and lose the pony tailing her. The only problem is that humans can't run as fast as ponies oops.]

[deciderly]

[that little sneak, taunting her! AJ hates being taunted, mostly because of Rainbow Dash. that just makes her run harder. and she is catching up to the raccoon that hasn't built up all the endurance she has.

at last Applejack is close enough to stretch her neck and attempt to catch the tail in between her teeth. hopefully she doesn't miss!]

[theraccoon]

[And Chandra is caught! And she's dangling from Applejack's mouth, flailing and trying to wiggle away.]

Augh! Okay okay, I'll give it back, just put me down!

[deciderly]

[speaks around the gritted teeth]

Tell me wut y'all were doin'? [and then she puts the kid down, but rests a hoof on her shoulder so that she doesn't run off]

[theraccoon]

[Ker-squished. Chandra wiggles a bit but gives up when she figures out she is stuck. Instead she turns quiet and a touch bitter as she speaks.]

I dunno why you're asking, it's pretty obvious.

[deciderly]

[she won't squish too hard! just a tiny bit of pressure is all]

But why?

[theraccoon]

[She is a drama llama so she might make a scene anyway.]

I don't know, I just did! It's just a stupid rope anyway, what's the big deal?

[deciderly]

A rope or a gem, it don't make a difference if it belongs t'someone else. [huff]

[theraccoon]

Fine, fine, I'm sorry.

[She does not sound sorry at all.]

Will you let me up now?

[deciderly]

Not yet, mister. Ah wanna know what drove ya t'steal in the first place. Ah don't thinka thief would really care for my stuff. Thought y'all would go to Rarity's place first. But yer lucky ya came to me an' not her.

[theraccoon]

Why? Would she go ballistic?

[Dodging the question~ Also Applejack does have things worth stealing, those apples Chandra ate earlier were delicious.]

[deciderly]

Uh, yeah. She would. So y'all should be thankin' yer lucky stars right now and tellin' me why you were interested in my stuff!

[theraccoon]

...

[Now she's going to try appealing to Applejack's sense of taste.]

It looked cool?

[deciderly]

...

What's that got to do with anything?

[theraccoon]

Well you asked why I took it, and I said because it looked cool. I thought I could make a tire swing with it.

[deciderly]

[hmmmm]

Ah feel yer hidin' somethin'. [lifts her hoof off of the raccoon] Ya sure ya don't wanna talk about it?

[theraccoon]

[Rolling out from under Applejack's hoof so she can push herself up now.]

Well I thought we were talking. And that's pretty weird anyway, I've never met a talking pony before.

[deciderly]

You know that's not what Ah mean. [gently pokes the creature in the chest] ...But Ah guess it's none'uh my business anyway. So git along!

[theraccoon]

Right-o, Pony Lady! Thanks for not getting me arrested!

[She's not one to say no to a chance to escape without getting in trouble, so she'll go ahead and leave.

By the way there's like half a dozen apple cores on Applejack's floor, tucked away behind a table somewhere. Chandra had a little snack while thieving.]

[deciderly]

[it's what she'd honestly expected... with a sigh, AJ picks up her sack and goes off to clean up]

Ah hope that little critter turns out okay...

[xxxpriest]

[there wasn't anything shiny or valuable in Frau's things, just a lot of porn. As in mountains of stuff]

Oi! Kid! [he picks up the raccoon dressed kid] Didn't anyone tell you to stay out of other's things?

[theraccoon]

[She has dropped it on the ground anyway, stupid gross magazines. She does not enjoy being picked up though.]

Hey, put me down! I wasn't even gonna take it, it was all gross stuff!

[xxxpriest]

[he looks vaguely annoyed as he lifts the raccoon kid to eye level]

Such a kid. [okay, drop] Obviously, you don't yet appreciate what amazing literature this is.

[theraccoon]

[She falls, and then she's sitting on the ground and pouting up at Frau.]

Don't treat me like a kid! I know what those things are for, Mom told me when I found Dad's gross magazines. There's nothing 'amazing' about it.

[xxxpriest]

Of course there is. Look at this article. [he flips open one of the magazines and shows an article which was a biography of the woman on the cover] Would you believe she's religious?

[theraccoon]

[She is decidedly nt looking at it.]

I don't care if she's religious or not! Anyway it's a lie all religious people are not perverted.

[xxxpriest]

I never said anything about that. And there's nothing perverted about looking at porn.
