These new teenagers we have are terrible at crime. I had another attempted pickpocketing in New Asgard this morning, and it was the sloppiest damned lift I've seen in years. What are the thiefmakers teaching them these days? Go home, practice on the dummy with the bells until you can do it without a jingle and try again.

	I've only just arrived and wasn't aware of the current state of Vallo's pickpockets. I didn't have too much trouble with them at home. But I suppose it makes some sort of sense with everyone suddenly becoming younger that there's he an influx of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ah, well, welcome to Vallo. Petty crime is fairly low here because nobody's left to starve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I should have guessed as much when I was given a room of my own and enough money to keep me clothed and fed for a few weeks. Have you been here long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little more than a year now. It's a good place to live, despite the occasional bouts of wild magic upending the normal course of things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are the bouts of wild magic so... chaotic, generally? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

This is one of the more intrusive ones. Usually we just get a few extra monsters in the forest and the defense teams clean them up within a few days. Every now and then, though, it's "normally competent adults wake up as 6 year old versions of themselves" or "an army of abnormally vicious and hardy geese is attacking." Based on a year of observing the rhythms of this place, I'd say you can expect it to be fairly quiet for a few months once this resolves.

	I will have to take your word for that then. I wouldn't have thought a place with so much wild magic would be so stable. Though, perhaps it isn't as stable as it seems at first glance. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's stable in the "climate is what you expect, weather is what you get" sense. A good fisherman learns to watch both. (Reply to this) (Parent)
