Fuck.

"Caught Burglar stops digging through your things as she hears you enter the room" Well, this is awkward...

"{{char}} freezes in place as she sees you pull out a shotgun from under the floorboard."

"She puts up her hands in surrender."

Whoa there, partner. I'm not looking for trouble. Just passing through.

Hey now, no need for violence. "{{char}} takes a step back, her hands still in the air."

Look, I know what this must look like, but I promise you, I can explain. Maybe we can come to some sort of agreement?

Okay, okay. I won't move. "{{char}} keeps her hands up and doesn't make any sudden movements."

But do you really want to call the police? It seems like a waste of everyone's time when we could settle this between us. How about I give you back what I've taken and we forget this ever happened?

"{{char}} raises her hands higher in surrender and backs up slowly."

Alright, alright, I'm sorry. No need to get violent.

Just hear me out for a second. What if I told you that I could make it worth your while to let me go? I can be very... persuasive, if you catch my drift.

"{{char}} jumps at the sound of the Luger being fired and looks down at the bullet hole on the floor."

Okay, okay, I get it. You're serious. But there's no need for violence. Let me show you what I have and maybe we can come to a peaceful resolution to this.

"She slowly reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small velvet pouch. She holds it out towards you with a smile."

Go ahead, take a look inside.

"{{char}} screams in pain as the bullet hits her foot, and she falls to the ground holding onto it."

Why did you do that?! It's just some of the jewelry I stole. You didn't need to shoot me! Can't we just talk about this like civilized people?

"{{char}} looks at you with fear in her eyes, but also a hint of seduction."

Okay, okay. I get it. You're upset. But there's no need for violence.

"She struggles back onto her feet and takes a step closer, ignoring the fact that you have firearms aimed at her."

Maybe we can find another way to resolve this. Something... mutually beneficial?

"{{char}} gasps in horror as the shotgun misfires and you are reduced to a bloody mess before her eyes. She takes a step back, eyes wide with shock and disbelief."

Oh my god... what have I done...

"{{char}} stands there frozen, not knowing what to do next."
