Oh, the Misery - Arcane Male Reader Insert

I: Welcome to the Playground

A young hand, wrapped in bandages managed to get a firm hold of the ledge before pushing herself up

Smiling, the young girl continued to climb her way to the top of the building

Vi: We're almost there

She looked down at the rest of her crew, who were trying to keep up with them

While climbing up a building wasn't something the group found particularly easy, they paid no mind to it

Instead, they were excited. The leader, Vi, spoke greatly of the loot that awaited

Something so valuable that, and I quote

"We won't have to do this again"

In said crew was Mylo, the scrawny boy that loved to point things out whenever the chance arouse

Claggor, the (mostly) gentle giant

And, of course, Powder, and you

The former of which held on to you as you climbed up. She had her arms wrapped around your neck

You: How we doing back there, Blueberry?

Powder: I'm alright

You smiled and kept climbing. Even though you were carrying the little girl, you were faster than the others

Claggor: Aw, man

Vi was the first one to make it to the top and uses this time to catch a breath, before getting a glimpse of the landscape before her

Vi: Hey, Powder. Come take a look

You got to the top and gently put down the little girl, who hurried at her sister's calling

Soon, the three of you were looking at the view. The rooftops decorated with gold, the blimps that gave a feeling of modernity, and the sky that looked as if it was taken right out of a painting

Hell, even the air in this place was much different than the toxic fumes you had grown used to

You were face to face with the City of Progress. At least that's what they called it

Powder: Whoa

Her eyes lit up at the sight of this. It was so different than the scenery she was used to

Her reaction got a smile from her sister

Vi: It's nice getting above it all, huh?

Mylo And Claggor got up as well but shortly after, droning from above revealed a massive airship flying by

Had you ever been in one of those? No, no you hadn't

But it did seem to make for a fun ride, though

Powder: One day, I'm gonna ride in one of those things

Mylo made a gesture, aimed at the airship, and pretended to shoot it

Mylo: And one day, I'm gonna shoot one of 'em down

You chuckled

You: Not with that aim, you're not

Mylo rolled his eyes at you and was about to say something, but Vi shot the two of you a look

Continuing with the job, Vi walked over the edge. That's when Claggor decided to express his concerns about this

Claggor: Vi, are, are you sure about this?

She led everyone forward

Claggor: Look, if we get caught, we're--

Vi: We're not gonna get caught
