Night 56: Crossroader's Bar and Casino (Doyleton)
[from here]
The bar was relatively... No, incorrect, exactly the same as he recalled. He gave an idle hmph, disappointed somewhat in the lack of surprise. From what he remembered, even the chairs were spaced the same. He wasted no time with his movements, trodding to behind the bar, sword hanging at his side. Five steps in, and the bottles of alcohol cleared to reveal a space. He dropped the near-empty bag he was carrying, and reached into the space, pulling out the shotgun. Hm. So it was very much like the institute itself. All things regenerated as well as he once did.
He giggled then, high in tone and pleased, and with a flick of his wrist he snapped the gun open to peer into the chambers. Full. Albedo flicked it shut and slid the safety on, then slid it into his bag. As he was doing so, he glanced into the space he had taken the gun from. And here was a small box of ammunition. Albedo did not have Nigredo's memory, but press it forth and he would say that wasn't there last time. His head tipped at the sight, but his hand instantly reached for it, to add it to his bag.
He stood, hefting the bag, and made to move towards Yomi. Again the boy paused, fingers reaching for a bottle at random. Nigredo wanted things to barter with, was it? Well, now they had two. Of that, he was more careful, sliding it in to not break. Once the bag was tightened, he shrugged at her. He was done. And her?
