Roofrats is a two-writer story featuring Nico and Weft, set in Offwhite City on Instar.
Nico, on holiday in the city, runs into Weft (whom she last saw playing a jovial Red Death at a party) and another woman called Wirin, each of whom immediately accuses the other of being a criminal, thug and possible murderer. On balance Nico believes Weft's story, annoying Wirin. Weft claims the gang to which Wirin belongs is trying to intimidate a weaponsmith for money. After briefly meeting Weft's brother Triviality, Nico leaves the scene with Weft in tow.
After a long conversation with the monk about his employers and religion in the city, Nico has so far reached the conclusion that she does not approve of Weft's order.
Another thug from the same gang subsequently tries to kill Nico but is seriously outclassed by her and runs off, leaving an expensive knife behind. Nico decides to sell this. Upon returning to the weapon shop, reasoning that this will be the safest place seeing as it's already guarded, she meets Triviality again.
