First Possession [Action/Voice]

[Action]

[Whoever told the new arrival, Greed, that everything is free must be feeling pretty guilty right now. He first tears through the clothing ship, donning his own clothes and carrying off everything else he thinks belongs in his wardrobe.

...And then he makes his way to the item shop. Dear god, the item shop. After locating some type of satchel, he begins snatching up every item and stuffing it in there. New Feathers' possessions. Some late arrivals for other citizens. Greed thinks he wants it too, and he's collecting it all in a manic rage, which is formed from combination of the thrill of being alive again, the sheer excitement of free stuff and the bitter disappointment that the store didn't have any of his own possessions. He's being pretty loud and obnoxious about it too - laughing loudly and intimidating others by flashing his Ultimate Shield. One could probably hear this ruckus from outside.

But don't let him take your items. Stand your ground, whoever you are, be you New Feathers or seasoned veterans. Point out your item that Greed has taken and do what you can to reclaim it. And there is a specific item in store for the first character from the world of the Avatar to notice this mess.]

[Later that day, after Greed has settled down...]

Heh. No such thing as "no such thing," I guess...

Listen up, everyone. The name's Greed. I guess you could say I'm new here. Some of you here may already know me, a lot of you will not. I have a pretty straightforward name, I know, but why act like I'm something I'm not? I'm just a guy who wants a lot of things.

I know I sound like some kind of selfish bastard, but if you think about it, wanting something doesn't necessarily make you bad. So what do you want, my new friends? Wealth? Glory? Sex? Power? Friendship? Eternal life? Let me know. I'll get real a kick out of what you guys think.

Nothing that lives is above pain. It just takes more for some to hurt than it does others. And some break all too easily.

I'm a surgeon. Pain, the treatment and prevention of it is my stock and trade, Greed.

Is it greed to ensure the comfort of one's patients? I cannot think of any I have treated that revel in pain. None that were not somehow psychologically damaged as well.

I honestly have not thought of it that way before. Should that be the case then, yes. I am greedy in that respect.

[A faint, puzzled tone from the back of her throat.]

Heroes seem more the sort to endure pain, rather than feed off of it.
fleurdesel: center, serious, smile, smirk (I'm here. For now.)

I take it you have little to no heroic tendencies of your own, Monsieur Greed?
fleurdesel: left, smirk, sarcastic (Playing it close.)

Just enough to get yourself into trouble, then. [She huffs a soft laugh.] I know how that is.

Sometimes it does not hurt to step outside one's own interest.

And sometimes...it does not turn out so well.

[For a few that she knows here that's an understatement.]

Perhaps it is safer to be selfish.
fleurdesel: right, smile, smirk, serious (Well that's interesting)

Then there is the bizarre occasion where acting selfishly ends with you in more trouble than being selfless. It's a fine line to walk, in the end.

It's the safest bet, I should think.
