Except if she were to do that, it would most likely be pre-arranged. Someone sends a /tell or previous OOC message, that their character is about to get handled in some way.
It can easily be handled in past tense.
Kage went to the store in the attempt to buy an apple.
Stepping in Kage's way to the store, Marshall attempted to grab his arm while pointing a knife at the Lalafell.
Kage went to the store to try and buy some apples.
/tell Kage (Hey can I manhandle your character, to steal etc?)
/r (Sure)
Marshall stepped in Kage's way to the store, grabbing his arm and pointing a knife at his throat.
If it was so open ended, in my opinion, that just seems... well really passive aggressive.
Edit: Oops I left one of the examples incomplete.
