In an alley between a pair of substances twitched something small and black. Perhaps it was a small insect. Everything was still for a long time after until the rumbling of an assembled party headed towards the tunnels leading to Robotropolis.
Another twitch followed by a murmur of "Now's my chance..."
Ivory eyes, once hidden amongst the shadows rose into view, gleaming ivory and auburn. Rising from the heap to its feet, the figure moved between the trash cans to the back of the building, scaling the rooftop. It lay on its belly against the roof: eying its prize: The tallest tower in Lower Mobius.
A skip and a jump from one small rooftop to another. Then, upon approaching a wall of one tower larger than the other, it leaped against the wall and scrambled to its summit. It rose to its feet and lurched forward, its back rising and falling while a shallow wheeze rose from its lungs. It stilled itself, again eying the tallest building ahead of him. As it latched its claws into the surface and scaled, it mused about how silly it was to use such prowess to steal into a place vacated by every living thing in Lower Mobius. Still, in this case it was merely a matter of training. Training and personal pride.
