Just Do as We Say [Invite Only]

((Mainly inspired by "Inside Man."))

Nobody expected them to be armed or masked because that was just too obvious. Nobody expected them to shoot a round into the ceiling: everyone in the movies did that. Nobody expected them to have been surveying the bank for weeks and knowing when the guards would be easiest to render useless. They didn't expect them to have done this because these things were all to expected, which meant that they would never happen. So, in a paradoxical sort of way, the movies that show the demise of bank robbers and hostage situations helped this team pull off the perfect robbery.

He entered the bank with four other masked men, all wearing similar outfits. He shot one round into the air, blowing out a lightbulb and getting everyone to do what he wanted them to before he even had to ask before the sentence could begin to pass his mouth, the people inside the bank had become quickly aquainted with the tiles. Since they had already everyone was already on the floor, he moved onto the next step: say something generic, because it always seems to strike fear into people. If generic didn't work, try something new. He chose the latter.

"I hope you all are comfortable because you're going to be down there for quite some time. Don't worry," he motioned towards one of the clerks, "Madeline hit the silent alarm with her foot as soon as she saw us open the doors: the police are on their way."

He had Man Three take his post at the security desk while Man Five began to unroll thick black fabric to pin over the windows. Man Two Was on his way to the telephone, ready to ignore the first three rings, then hang up the phone. Then himself (Man One of course) and Man Four began to take wallets. Not for their money, they were in a bank afterall, but for the IDs of their victims.

Everything was going according to plan. They would not use their names, and their faces would never be seen. Soon enough they would have everyone put on the same outfits The Five Men were wearing themselves: a black sweatshirt, white sweatpants, forest green Converse All Stars, latex gloves that had been painted "hot" pink, and masks of celebrities.

"We'll do you a favor," spoke Man Four (Charlie Sheen), "we'll let you pick who you want to be."

Now all they had to do was wait for the police to show up. Little did they know that during this act of "angry-at-mommy-and-daddy-syndrome," they would begin to grow close to their victims, and may actually feel sympathy.


((So here's the deal. Play anyone you want. I'm going to play the bank robbers as a single unity unless you want to take one over. Even though they're referred to as Man ONe, Man Two, etc., they can be played as women, but still have to be referred to as "Man."))
