The Robber


Oh, another call. I wonder were I will be placed this time.  Red country's wheat crops have been booming this last season.  But The Blue District is on their way to world domination.

I took the parchment and walked away from the Orange Town citizen who handed me the assignment.  I unrolled the parchment, seeing the 7 insignia. This is legit, better than the Soldier symbol.  I have less control when the military gets involved.  They use me as an excuse when one of the countries get out of hand to set things right.  Makes me feel like the good guy and I don't like it. Lets see where they are sending me. 
To the White Capitol! Wow, these orangites prefer to respond to revenge rather than stopping the Blue district form taking over.  And it looks like I'll be stealing brick.  Oooo! That's has been a rare commodity indeed. I will make an impact for sure. Well I've got my new orders, time to change location.

I went to my little shack and grabbed my pack and my credits for the other commodities I have "acquired."
Not to much stuff since I haven't been in Orange town very long.  The White Capitol sent me here purely out  of spite, I knew I would get much out of the deal, they put my on a 11 district.  Psh! 11. They should have known I would have done no good, even if Orange has two settlements on it.  But now Orange is smarter. Getting revenge is always more profitable.  Plus they are putting me in a 6 district! I'll have my work cut out for me.

Oh right! Orange wants an immediate commodity from The White Capitol.  To bad they didn't specify, they get to be surprised.  Walking on the empty paved dirt paths that were so numerous around Orange Town, I could see The White Capitol's storage units just up ahead.  Passed a wheat field one my right and a sheep heard on my left, I reached the treasure! Well not for me. I had to play by the rules. The only reason I am not in prison is because each of the countries, Red, Blue, Orange, and White need me.  When they don't get what they want they use me to get it.  When they are done with me, they send me to the desert, it's were I live so I don't mind.

I opened the large crate that was covered in faded white paint.  The door crashed open because of it's weight.  The crate was as big as a small cabin and as deep as a water well.  I tired a rope around my waste and slowly lowered my self down.  (Whistle) The White Capitol was doing pretty good.  Their commodities stacked up pretty high.  Holding tight to the rope I reached for the credit closest to me.  I was still to far. I faced back toward the wall to readjust myself, when a section of the rope began to unravel.  Wow! I dropped about a foot because of it. I looked down and the credit that was now in my reach. Well that works.  I climbed up and out of the crate. You'd think The White Capitol could get a new rope with all the commodities they have, they have to climb in here too. But they have always been stingy.

Lets see what commodity Orange Town gets. Wood.  Wood is always useful.  I could use some of this myself.

Well I just have to go give this to the citizens of Orange town and then I get to go get me some brick. :)
