You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two

Corellia
Coronet City- Shopping District

"Stop pushing!"

"I'm not pushing, you're pushing!"

"Nu-uh! Your face is pushing!"

Sabetha rolled her eyes. They were all such children.

"Shhhhhhh everyone!" She said, turning to the other three kids in the alley. It took a minute, but they all pipped down. Not because she was in charge or anything, but because- well, she didn't really know why. She wasn't the oldest, or the biggest. But she usually had the best ideas. And this one was a great one. Really grade A. And they all knew it.

There was an art to pickpocketing. These four kids hadn't survived on the street without learning certain things. The first was that half a second of contact was all you needed. Hang on too long and no matter how stupid someone was, or how good you were, they were gonna notice. The second was that a good distraction was better than being good. Of the lot of them, Sabetha was the best. But she was also the best at creating distractions. So she was going to be the one to pull of this part of it today. If everything went well, while she was creating a distraction, pulling adult attention to herself, Sasha and Peg would take advantage of that. After a thirty seconds (no more!), Roan would come through and 'help' her, promise whatever mark got caught in the net he'd get her back to "their" parents and then as soon as they were around the corner *bam* they'd be rich for a day or two.

Which was really all that street kids could ever look for.

"Okay, ready?"

Everyone nodded.

Sabetha glanced out of the alley. She took a deep breath. Tied to her leg on the right side, beneath her pants was a long stick. It made walking a little bit stiff, but she was hoping in the crowd here in the shopping district, no one would notice. Sidling out of the alley, she slipped through the crowd. She dismissed the first couple of people, focusing in on a group of young folks.

Perfect.

As she got close to them, using the crowd to keep herself hidden until she was only a meter away, she pretended to trip. Sprawling on the ground right in front of them, she bent her knee hard, ​smacking the leg against the ground, causing the stick to snap with (she was delighted to hear) a realistically sickening CRACK.

"MY LEG!" She wailed.

Now hopefully her friends were doing their part.

Undin was on Corellia visiting his home planet. God it was good to be back! He wasn't there since he was 8! He went to the Shopping district to buy some new power converters for his V-Wing which was left in the hangar.
He was wondering around when he heard and saw this little girl about 3-4 years younger than him. So he pulled his hoodie off from his Jedi robes and went there to help her. "Are you alright?", he said while he stuck his hand out to help her get up.

(ooc sorry is i am not one for big posts.)
It was a rare thing being out of the Temple. hell her sister was enjoying just being a kid for once.
and then there was a kid srawled out on the ground injured.
 
The remains of Corellia, since he netherworld portals the planet had been fractured and broken looking like a massive gaping wound compared to many other things and was a place few others really came to. She was here mostly to work on some of the other things and search around while she kept an eye out here and there. "This looks nice." She said it standing there and working with some fo the locals who were still working around to try and provide a superior shopping experience despite most of the world that was still around look fairly in ruins. THe small padawan was looking over the sections of it getting a smile with some of the sasori workers who were setting up to try and help where they could.

Sabetha tried to keep a pained look on her face, turning on the water works. She was good at fake crying, one of the reasons she was out here instead of one of the others. If everything was going according to plan, as a small crowd of onlookers gathered, Peg and Sasha were already making the rounds while they were distracted. All she had to do what keep up the act for a little bit and wait for Roan to show up.

She could do that.

Looking up at the older boy who was offering her a hand up, she clutched at her "injured" leg and shook her head. She let her long red hair fall in to her face, better if she didn't have to fake it too hard after all.

"I can't stand up," she whimpered pathetically. "I heard something snap!"

Undin knew that he couldn't leave the poor girl alone in the street, so he wrapped his arms around her and lifted her up "It's ok I got you from now on".
Undin was taking her to his ship , when he noticed some kids were robbing some people that were spectating the scene. He whispered to her "So how long have you been doing this for?"

Orihime looked at things when she arrived, her attention on some things when she saw pickpockets and her hand went brushing the robe she was wearing as it pulsed with the lightside of the force aside to reveal her lightsaber on her hip. The blade of the rose was far superior to many of the things she had to work with when she was moving and touched one of them on the shoulder looking them over. "You shouldn't do that." There was a look on her face but she was reaching out with her senses and picking out the others with a small look before she was walking returning to the one she could find that was taken. She saw two others while walking over near them and the petite padawan was standing tall and ready.
