SPOOK.
You there, traveler. I need your help
The dark looming nights of Baltigo started with a stranger trying to catch Spooks attention. A vague shadow from an alley rolled up their index finger into a welcoming gesture. Amused he was, the man with a drink in his hand. What's the worst that'll come from this? He thought, entertaining the stranger by moving towards it. The ice cubicle in his glass crackled, as the stranger explained itself.
The hangman is in town again. Watch yourself now...
While speaking, the stranger disappeared into the valley. What a strange omen. Naturally he'd feel as if he was threatened. The way Spook handled situations was pretty simple; can I influence the outcome -- depending on the answer, he'd give a fuck or not. Types like these, that disappear into mysterious alleys into the dark of the night weren't worth dealing with. This was their turf anyway. Spook had his hands on his pockets while the stranger spoke--it was a common scam around here, distract the tourist and have a second man take their wallet. With his sharp wits, Spook responded to the vanishing entity.
When the hangman meets god in purgatory, will he be excused?
It was merely an attempt to bait out the mysterious entity that loomed within the alley. Fighting on the illuminated street was a better outcome of this bout. A few seconds passed, nothing--the air got cold, the tension rose as a result. Then out nowhere, a flyer smacking the left side of Spooks head. And like a seasoned warrior, Spook assumed a fake karate stance, one that portrayed his muscles more than they normally would. Nothing. His heart beated at twice the regular tempo, all for no reason. A loud sigh followed. Properly inspecting the flyer revealed some interesting things.

CHILDRENS SLOOP EVENT
Varsity Lobby-C Sector 9
Every tuesday night at 23:00
Spook chuckled. How cruel to have a children's even at 9 pm. He'd knew that they were staying in Baltigo for some time--maybe it was worthing checking out what this museum was about? Did they allow entry if the guest has booze with them? That alone motivated Spook enough to haul ass with a few other drunk bar patrons he managed to convince.
Not a long while later was Spook found in a queue in front of the museum. Open till two AM apparently. While in the line, a half case of beer, a conservative tequila shot and two whiskey shots were drunk by Spook and his drunk patrons. He'd declared himself tour leader, and they were in for an adventure.
Yes my good man.
Spook placed the dorsal surface of his hand on the right side of the ticketing guys torso.
We'd enjoy the pleasure of you giving us four tickets to your fine establishment. We have been through a grand adventure, to arrive at this institution of lost arts.
Half Spooks body got pulled aside, with some hush hush whisperings.
I correct myself good sir--let me reperoply. Reproperly. That's a funny word.
His body got pulled back again. There was some discussion in the group, about what this place can be called. They had forgotten it was a museum. Due to these shenanigans the line was held up even longer. The ticketer started to lose his patience.
Four tickets; twenty-thousand beli.
And that action enough warranted Spook to place his hand on the mans chest again. With him towering a few foot above the ticketer, a physical intimidation was constantly being emit.
I'll have my ticket for free please.
It obviously wasn't worth the ticketers time not to grant Spook his free ticket. It also didn't matter to him that the rest of his party wasn't going to get in, unless they coughed up some gold. They weren't as intimidating as him. As soon as he got his stub, Spook nonchalantly continued onwards. The party must go on. While taking a guided tour of the place, a certain painting attracted his attention. A painting called the Nights Watch. The name was interesting by itself, it wasn't night in the picture--the varnish of the canvas made it darker due to its age. The scene was meant to be in daylight. A balance of chaos and unity painted made a unique scene. A strong topic of the painting was the captain ordering the company forward. Spook wanted this painting. Along the tour, they showed the rumoured Golden Sloop. A cute couple in the group of the guide started whispering with each other, luckily within Spooks earshot.
It's worth how much on the streets?
Spoke a louder than subtle voice towards the couple. Some hush hush followed, and the price tagged on the Golden Sloop was enough to convince Spook to make this into an operation. The Sloop was treasured due to some rich merchants wanting it. It'd be like a status symbol to them. Robbing this joint became a mission in Spooks mind. His first task was finding a staff member to turn into a toy. Luckily a staff bathroom stuck out to him, upon entering he found two staff workers there--accomplished after his tour guide wasn't paying attention to the group. A waiter of the restaurant, and a tour guide--perfect. Firstly Spook locked the entrance to the bathroom, and then appeared confused in front of the two staff workers who were washing their hands.
Excuse me, where is the exit?
The tour guide walked to Spook and begun explaining, only to be interrupted by Spook touching his hand and converting him into a toy.

The contract set-up was the general A1 contract.
By using the newly formed toy, Spook propelled himself forwards--launching the toy into the opposite direction. Like a vampire he lunged out to the waiter to grab his shoulder, and brush his neck with his thumb. Doing so resulted in the waiter to turn into a toy as well, with the same contract.
Contract
Spook puffed out, and ordered the toys to come to his side in order to transform them both into mundane coins he could carry out with him. They were neatly placed into the breast pocket of his colbert. This allowed him to leave the museum with no additional eyes attracted to him. It was time to involve friends into this, Spook thought of inviting his crewmate Lucas into this heist. As soon as he was aboard the ship again, he begun looking for Lucas.
Luuucaaass~~~
Said the suave gentleman in order to attract the attention of his crewmate. Spook sat on a chair in one of the crew rooms. A sporadic amount of opened and half full bottles of liquor covered the table in front of him.
Loooehhkaassss~~~
