All right, here's our party:

Standard array for starting stats, then you're free to pick whatever you'd like.
In addition to the bond / flaw / trait / ideal, I'll need to know how each of you know each other (if it's from the theft, what were your roles in it?). I may also PM each of you a little bit of extra info before we get started.
Some other questions (which you can PM me the answers to if you prefer):
* How/why did you get involved in the theft?
* What was your role in the theft?
* During the theft, you considered betraying one of your associates. Why?
* One of your associates surprised you during the theft. What did they do?
* What is your biggest fear?

The Setting
You have in some way been involved in the theft of a painting named
"The False Chanterelle" for a collector. The painting is not considered very good or particularly interesting, but somehow still retains enough interest from collectors and galleries to keep its price high. Following the instructions given to you by your patron, you successfully obtained the artwork and hung it in an empty gallery to await collection. Light from the full moon spills through the window across the surface of the paint and the scene seems to come to life. You can't imagine why anyone would dismiss such a masterpiece as merely average!
Growing increasingly bored as you wait for your contact to show up, and increasingly curious about the strange painting, one of you reaches up and touches the surface of the paint...
