Veris -- The Heist
Why are you ruining Veris' good mood? | The former golden boy of B.E.E has just stolen a very precious jewel. It won't be long before the game begins in earnest. What side are you on? Do you even know who he is?
. . . TIME: February 14 - 1:30AM LOCATION: Palazzo D’Oro, Venice TIME SINCE HEIST: 0:01 hours
There it was. The jewel of the Palazzo—Il Cuore di Venezia. A diamond so exquisite, so steeped in legend, that few had dared to wear it, let alone touch it.
No one but Veris Green.

He had slipped in with ease. Well—after relocating to Venice, watching the palace like a hawk, meticulously mapping out the museum, hacking the systems, bribing the right guards, and waiting for the perfect moment.
Then he slipped in.
A shadow among shadows, moving with trained efficiency. The perfect heist executed in under half an hour. Take that Antonia.
Veris tucked the diamond into his suit pocket. In his hand, it was nothing more than a trinket—a prize that had lost its shine the second it was his.
He lifted a weighted envelope to his lips, pressing a kiss to the wax seal. His insignia, the lingering trace of Grand Soir—because what was the point of stealing a masterpiece if no one knew exactly who had done it?
As he turned to leave, he placed the envelope where the jewel had rested. A calling card. A taunt. A big fuck you to the queen bee.
He was still smirking as he slipped into the labyrinthine streets of Venice—right up until his body collided with some bug of a person, their drink splattering across his suit.
"Bloody hell—" A sharp inhale, his accent unmistakably british. His expression twisted in disgust. "Do you have any idea what you’ve done? This is Armani!"
