The Sharing Is Caring Caper
Hugo and Luna's birthdays fell on New Year's Eve weekend. They toasted their new future and prepared to get the heck out of there.
"Here's to next year, sis. Let's never come back here again."
At work, Eliza was confronted with a choice between blowing the whistle and keeping her mouth shut.

She had already seen how successful crime had made Jacques. She was starting to think it was smarter to use the rules for your own purposes. She kept her mouth shut... and she made a few first quiet efforts to be put in touch with those involved in the plot. Perhaps they would appreciate the favor she had done for them.
Max aged up. He is Evil, Self-Absorbed, and straight. When the ghost of his father Jacques invited him out to the Humor & Hijinks Festival, he had his own encounter with the possibilities of villainy.
And then they came home to 11k in bills.
And a cheerful invitation to "Vote in the NAPs!!!"
Max and Eliza were done trying to do things everyone else's way.
They hatched a plan.
Some people were talking about a new way of living, where everyone's property was available to everyone else. Sort of a radical co-ownership of everything. They called the idea "Sharing Is Caring."
Could they make it work for them?
Let's see.
Time to share like a villain.
First, they used all their local influence to push the Sharing Is Caring plan through.

They are both marginal students. Hugo is very good at cooking and loves food though, so he applied to the Distinguished Culinary Degree at Britechester, and got in. Luna, the girl who gets everything handed to her, was offered admission into almost every distinguished degree. Even though her grades aren't good, and she doesn't have much skill in much of anything. She picked Art History at Britechester and moved into the same dorm as her brother.
Eliza immediately sold their beds and began converting Luna's room into a library, on Rebate Day of course.

Yet she's always tense about missing work... even when she's at work...

(This is probably a bug, but maybe it makes sense for a supervillain-in-training to be tense all the time?)

He met Lilith, a beautiful young woman whose mischievous sense of humor appealed to him. She seemed to get along well with ghost-Jacques, too. She shared what she was studying at college
https://i.postimg.cc/sXD0Dnbb/festival-villainy-degree.png
"Really? That is a thing you can study?" Max asked.
Just then a firework went off nearby. A woman stumbled away from it, looking dazed. She had been singed pretty badly, but didn't seem hurt.
Max recognized her. "Octavia Moon! Look this way!"
https://i.postimg.cc/d3qddD2x/octavia.png
Max scampered over to Lilith and they snorted in laughter over the photo
https://i.postimg.cc/Qtg1HcT7/octavia-photo-share.png
"You should sell that to a magazine!"
"Maybe I will!"
"Naughty boy!"
After some more flirting he tried to ask Lilith for her number.
"I'll write it down for you. Here you go," she said.
https://i.postimg.cc/Kvgpz3sc/lilith2.png
Okay, should have expected that.
"No, seriously dude, you are way too young for me," she laughed. "But all right, we can stay in touch and be friends. Maybe you can visit me at college sometime."

After it was final, they went for a friendly neighborly visit to the Bjergsens.
Max distracted Clara in the yard with some friendly neighborly conversation.
https://i.postimg.cc/HkDZ7Wfw/sharing-max-distracts.png
Eliza skipped the large public rooms and checked out a first-floor bedroom.
Who keeps a grand piano in their bedroom?
https://i.postimg.cc/GmFMPwCZ/sharing-piano1.png
No one, anymore.
https://i.postimg.cc/MTTd8nQS/sharing-piano2.png
Eliza's purse was now full, so instead of swiping anything else, she traded distraction duties with Max. "Let's chat by the pool, Sofia dear."
"Okay!"
https://i.postimg.cc/W4s5XWpt/sharing-eliza-distracts.png
Max didn't bother looking for an out-of-the-way room. He opted for speed.
https://i.postimg.cc/zfp0MC37/sharing-tv.png
And pouted. That was such a rush, but in the end, way too easy.
https://i.postimg.cc/QNBZQtnw/sharing-tv2.png
They said a polite goodbye and went home. Eliza slid the grand piano gently out of her purse. Max removed the TV from his inside jacket pocket.
"We did good!" Max crowed.
"And technically this was all legal," Eliza observed.
https://i.postimg.cc/Kj1qt1GN/sharing-nice-work-and-technically-legal.png
"Did we make the 11k yet?" asked Max.
"Maybe a little less than halfway."
"Awesome!"
"Why is that awesome?"
"Because that means we need to go on another neighborly visit tomorrow!"
"Max, don't forget that we need to be careful here."
"Right. No one can ever come over to our house again."
(That wasn't what Eliza meant, but he had a point. Eliza also took the extra step of having their home registered as a private dwelling, to discourage visitors.)
