Pinnacle stood in an alleyway around a block away from the casino, waiting for her partner. She had brought along her Miniaturized mech frame, a large duffel bag that was slung over her shoulder, and two pilot gloves she had just finished creating. Thankfully there didn't seem to be many people around to notice her at 4 in the morning.

She could already feel sleep calling to her and they hadn't even done anything yet. She hoped that once things got going the adrenaline would be enough to tide her over. It wasn't like she had much choice but to tinker through the night though. Not if she wanted her partner to be of any use at all. Then again... She could always just get unpowered henchmen in the future. It would certainly help with the looting process.

Speaking of Brightside... Where the hell was she? It was normal to show up at least an hour early before the heist, wasn't it? She let out a sigh as she carefully hid herself behind a dumpster in the alleyway, doing her best to ignore the smell.

If she didn't show up she could try going in solo. Even if it screamed trap there was a lot of money in there. Enough to accomplish something big.

Brightside poked her domino-masked face into the alleyway where Pinnacle was standing ominously. The younger girl rolled her eyes and sauntered into the dark, already wearing her costume, albeit with a comparatively plain-looking backpack strapped over her shoulders. This was *Such* Classic villain behavior. Lurking in some dank, dark alleyway at *Four in the morning?* She was silently cursing her power for bringing her here, *Especially* This early. She'd barely even gotten any sleep at all, and now they were supposed to just blindly trust the vague direction of her power?

It actually made her pity the people she usually used it on, a bit, albeit only for a little while.

"Jeez, you made it hard enough to find you. I've been wandering around here aimlessly for, like, ten minutes or something!" The thinker pouted, tapping her foot on the ground. 

It had probably only been more like five or something, but it was the principle of the thing... Sorta. It wasn't like it actually bothered her, it just seemed like the easiest way to break the ice after their short tinkering intermission.

"So? You got the stuff?" She grinned eagerly. Her first piece of tinker tech!

"Ten minutes...?" Pinnacle asked slowly, sending a blank stare Brightside's way. Not that the girl could see it. Just how long did Brightside think that SHE was waiting? Not to mention she had been working through the night without sleep. She let out a long sigh before suddenly tossing the pair of gloves over to her. They looked like normal gloves except for a flat looking device that poked out of the back of the hand.

"Your tinkertech, as promised. Simply hold your hand like this to trigger it" She instructed, somehow sounding even more tired than she felt. She held her hand up to show as demonstration.

"You have three charges per glove, and a range of around 10 feet. Point and fire to taze people in a wide cone in front of you. It also interferes with... Electronics..." Pinnacle trailed off, staring hard at Brightside. Why hadn't she thought about that before? Giving a device that could interfere with her own equipment was stupid, to say the least.

Had she planned for this? She was a thinker, after all.

Pinnacle's right hand - the hand with her plasma repeater attached - twitched as though expecting a fight to break out. After realizing nothing was happening she seemed to relax just a bit.

"... And you can charge it at home. Now, we ready?" She asked, suddenly sounding much more awake.
Wendy
Why did she say it like she was so unimpressed...? Ten minutes was a long time for her! She was about to unleash the full power of her pouting capabilities when instead she was distracted by the shiniest piece of Tinkertech in the world. Why? Because it was *Hers*!

She fumbled the catch eagerly before slipping them on with reckless abandon. Rigged to explode? Some kind of trap? These things crossed her mind, but they were entirely squashed by the excitement of receiving an actual piece of what was essentially magic.

"Pew pew! *Pew*!" Brightside said happily, pointing it at the nearby walls and up into the air at imaginary targets. She, of course, wore a wide smile the entire time.

After another moment of self-indulgence, she looked back towards her partner in crime.

"Awesome. Ready!"

The alleyway permitted some amount of privacy to the two conspiring heisters as they spoke. The world outside the alley was dark and quiet, only the faint sound of cars interrupting the stillness of such an early morning. No one dared to interrupt the two as they readied their gear for the coming heist. The loud sound effects provided by Brightside did, however, scare off a few rats from a can further down the alleyway but it didn't seem loud enough to wake anyone in the near by buildings. 

Further down the road, the next block over, was the bright sight of the casino. A security guard lazily leans near the front door with his arms crossed in front of his chest. A small trickle of guests sillouted by the dark of the night slowly make their way into the building. It was early enough that few were actively arriving at the building but the parking lot had a collection of various cars that were indistinct in the shadows of the early morning. It seems front the outside that despite the vulnerability, they have not upped security much. But that was just the outside. Who knew what protected the inside of the building.

Pinnacle gave Brightside a blank look before letting out a sigh. Was she trusting a child to back her up? Probably.

"Well, come on then" She said before walking over to the edge of the alleyway, peeking out onto the street. The casino was visible, but not the contractors. Not that they'd be able to do anything about them from here anyways.

"We need to get closer. They'll probably go to the parking lot, so lets head there" She decided before walking out onto the street, and headed towards the next street over. Better to just loop all the way around to the parking lot and wait there for the contractors to show up.

"Right, *Right.* Business time. Suuuuper *Serious* Business," Brightside grumbled agreeably, artificially lowering her voice a few octaves in her misguided attempt to sound serious.

The casino didn't *Look* Unguarded. Although... Well, in hindsight, she supposed that her power hadn't actually mentioned that it would be unguarded, just that the maintenance team would be able to access the vault. God, being on this side of her power *Sucked*! It was like being able to give someone exactly what they wanted, but then it just left the details up in the air.

Well, it normally worked way better for *Unpowered* People, but this aspect was definitely *Lame*. Couldn't you have thought up something better, power?

"Right, okay. Uh," She trailed off, following behind Pinnacle with a few scampering steps, "Are we going in quiet, or loud?"

She wasn't even *Trying* To be overly serious with that one. But it sounded so cool! *Ahahaha!* She grinned.

As the dynamic duo began to make their way closer to the casino, the scene of the building became clearer and the shadows began to clear into distinct figures. By now any stragglers were in the building or preparing to leave. A beam of light marks the patrol of a lone security guard in the parking lot. His light lazily swinging back and forth between cars as he makes his rounds through the maze of parked cars. No one seemed to be driving off yet so perhaps they had some time. 

The sounds of music and slots bled out of the casino from a good distance. The front door guard was no longer alone, either, as a second guard steps out and has a small conversation with him- oblivious to the heist set to arrive. No one in a maintenance uniform has exited the building in the time it took them to get here but surely it can't be much longer.
