Well, let's see, in the game I'm playing, "jawbreaker" is the name of a very powerful, enchanted weapon, so having that stolen would cause lots of immediate problems, and exponentially more down the road.
Furthermore, the only "towns" that come up during gameplay are part of the Nekropolis, a sentient, undead city that grows itself by desertifying surrounding land.
On top of that, actual kids aren't in the game, because they literally can't survive even the weakest slum rings surrounding civilized castle-towns, let alone the monster-filled wilderness they'd need to traverse to even get close to a piece of the Nekropolis.

Kids have nothing to do with the game.

With these game-dependent factors involved, this "kid" must then be some form of previously unidentified undead, so my character performs an exorcism on it.

Was Rolph from Hungary ? or Croatia ?
He always struck me as a slav

He's ambiguously Eastern European.

It was nowhere in particular. Antonucci based Rolf's proverbs and sayings off what his Italian parents would say, but else he's just from The Old Country so that anyone with heritage from afar would be able to get that vibe of being stuck between urban youth culture and one's inherited culture

>"Yeah, I purposely made Rolf with a non-nationality, especially after what happened with Lupo (from Lupo the Butcher, a short by Antonucci) when we were accused of painting Italians in a bad light. But Rolf is me, take his proverbs - my family were always coming out with the strange proverbial stuff that only made sense to them and other family members. His vocabulary is always interesting, I've actually browsed through the dictionary sometimes looking for words he might use, we came in for some flak with 'jujubes' though, people were asking what on earth that meant, but it's there, you know what they are right? Leaving Rolf with no set nationality means he's able to adopt all sorts of quirks he couldn't get away with if we'd stuck a label on him. It's the same with Peach Creek Estates, it's not anywhere specific, it's just one of those countless suburban development regions. "

He's the one lurking and silently judging all the dorks who claim to be too smart to fall for what they call bait but then rush into these threads to give a thirty paragraph diatribe about how everyone else is wrong anyways

Break his jaw, obviously.

Get confused.
Not notice he stole the Jawbreaker in my pocket.
Later, go to eat a similarly shaped item that happened to be of considerable value and import to the party/important npc's/said kid, and get pulled into a wacky sidequest to resolve the issue.

The nature of the question narrows down the possible context, which is helpful. Her costume doesn't have pockets, so this must not be occurring during hero activities, and she's not much for junk food. So this must be happening while she's off duty. Even so, her pockets would hardly admit a hard candy the size of a jaw breaker. Therefore let's suppose she's at a county fair and has just won a prize of a few jawbreakers, wrapped in plastic, which she stored in her handbag. At some point during the day she has cause to search for something in her bag, maybe one of those novelty maps showing the locations of attractions and other information. While going through the bag she sets out the bag of jaw breakers on her picnic table so it's not in the way, and that's when our thief strikes.

With her five ranks in Perception, along with Acute Hearing, she won't have any trouble following the kid, which she will, more out of curiosity and a little concern than anything. Either this kid is so hungry and desperate they're stealing shitty junk food instead of anything that would actually nourish them, or it's just a kid acting out and stealing for fun, probably because of a bad upbringing. Either way, though, the more pressing matter is, where are the parents? Do they care that their kid is running around unattended in a fair with a lot of potentially dangerous rides that are likely maintained by sub minimum wage meth heads? Do they care that fairs like this are beacons for sex offenders?

Anyway, she follows at a comfortable distance, pretending to be checking out various scam games as she goes, only really concerned that the kid doesn't hurt herself or get abducted. What happens next will largely depend on when and where the child decides to come to a stop. When the kid feels like she's in a place where she can be at ease, she'll be a little less likely to immediately flee. Hopefully the fact that she doesn't fit the profile of a pedophile or crackhead will help.

I love when a scenario starts with not just one, but multiple completely unnecessary instances of taking away all possible agency from players to force them into the most contrived and cliche situation possible.

>>96444507
I love when someone outs themselves as never having played a game in their life before

How often did Eddy just outright steal things? I always felt like he was more about the swindle and hustle rather than the material gain.
>>
>>96444716
Varies depending on circumstance. He usually is about the swindle and hustle, but he's got no trouble stealing shit from neighbors to make one of his scams work. And he once stole Kevin's pants off him just to get his jawbreaker.

>>96444704
I assume this is why you outed yourself.

Nobody's mad but you my guy.

>>96436926
Call him a dork.
>>
>>96436926
Assuming candy, if we're busy ignore him, if we have jackshit to do find him, tell him off, give him an agonizingly boring lecture about justice and honesty and maybe promise him a reward if he does a few good deeds and reports to me.
And if he keeps thieving, pray for strength so that I can stop myself from breaking his spine.

You failed the test, dork.

I'm sure if people keep making these threads, you might one day stumble upon a coherent argument. And there are arguments to be made against judging someone's entire personality based on one question, but bitching about agency in a hypothetical scenario that begins and ends with your answer isn't one of them, retard.

>>96436926
Tell him he can have it if he gives me a review of how well it tastes, then offer to employ him as a taster in my candy business (my character is an Alchemist with a sweet tooth)
>>
>>96436926
So why did you ask this if you weren't going to engage with anyone who answered? What do you get out of it?
