If you knew you absolutely couldn't fail--that you were guaranteed success--

What would you do?

Rob a bank?

Wait, no. Something that involves getting a lot of money without being shot at by the cops.

[gotbottle]

Yeah, I guess getting shot at by the police doesn't exactly make for success.

Rob a banker? He's probably got more money than most, but it wouldn't touch what's in a vault.

[comewither]

Pretty sure that would bite me in the ass somehow. You know how rich folks are.

[does she??? Mabel is just assuming here]

[gotbottle]

Yeah, seriously.

[ Honestly, Rachel's just assuming too, but all evidence points to rich dudes being epic assholes, so. ]

So. You need something that'll get you a lot of money without getting shot or having your life ruined by the rich and powerful. Some great discovery to sell?

Ooh, buried pirate treasure? Lost city of what's lost these days? Something that requires the least amount of work from me, that's for sure.

[gotbottle]

...Who says it even has to be a real pirate treasure? Start rumors, get people interested, sell fake maps to some remote place. By the time they get back, you're long gone.

[comewither]

...I could actually do that.

[gotbottle]

You might even be able to get away with it a couple of times before anyone caught on.

[comewither]

Huh, so I could.

[this is probably a horrible idea in every which way, but money????]

[gotbottle]

I think you could totally pull it off.

[ Horrible but really--preying on the already rich who just want to go get more rich without working for it? Get rich off some pirate legend? It's not that horrible, taking a little of their money. ]
