The Missing Constellation

Vahn:

"Wow, you're an idiot. Alright look, the sensor indicated the location where you are is the abandoned laboratory of apparently an ancestor of mine. After his passing, some cult took over, and made an underground altar for their worship. Using Leonid's technology, they tried to create an artificial god by unorthodox experiments. Now, despite how good you think you are with your ninja skills, I highly recommend you go back home now. Just forget about what's down there."

Kal:

You take a long walk in thought looking for any night wanderers around, but it appears they've all gone off to sleep. You find it hard to rest yourself as in the morning you will be fighting for your life. Maybe asking for help wouldn't be a bad idea... but that would just prove Hazel right.

Riley:

"Dragon's Breath eh? I know a vendor that specializes in shotguns. Follow me. Name's Booker Enfield. Friends' call me 'Roadkill'. We got knives too, but lemme introduce you to my friend first."

You proceed to move through the crowd of weapon enthusiasts and stop at another western looking man cleaning a gun barrel.

"Kid, meet Clint. Clint here has all things shotguns."

"Nice to meet ya," Clint says as he tips his hat. "Here's what I got. Buy a gun, and get it fully loaded on the house."

~Clint's Shop~
-Lupara (Sawn-off Shotgun) (150 Slugs) (2 ammo per magazine)~"This fucker's famous in the Sicilian mafia. Easy handlin', easy concealin'. No choke. Wider shot." -Clint Fargas
-Benelli (12 Gauge Shotgun) (165 Slugs) ~"Another European piece right here. Semi-automatic with a recoil inertia system. It's even got a mount for laser pointers, red dot scopes, and tactical flashlights! Hoo-wee!" ~Roadkill
-USAS (12 Gauge Shotgun) (300 Slugs) ~"Now you must want a lotta fuckers dead or just some guy after yer sister if you want this summabitch right here. This nasty, gas-operated behemoth is capable of firing full automatic bursts, and it's ambidextrous design with two ejector ports makes it almost too easy." -Clint Fargas
-AA12 (Automatic Shotgun) (800 Slugs) ~"Whoa there. This an entire university you tryin' to shoot up or something? This here shotgun is fully automatic, and capable of makin' short work of even some superhuman motherfucker." -Clint Fargas
-Jackhammer MK-IX (Automatic Shotgun) (2,000 Slugs) ~"I uhh... heard about dis here gun. Supposed to be only two in da world. Makes the AA12 look like a total daisy, catch my drift?" -Vinnie the Scarecrow

-Buckshot (8 for 15 Slugs) ~"Standard shotgun ammo. Whether for huntin' deer or man." -Roadkill
-Rat Shot (8 for 5 Slugs) ~"Ammo for smaller shotguns. Doesn't pack as much of a punch as buckshot, nor may be as accurate, but it's good if you're on a budget." -Clint Fargas
-Flash Bomb (8 for 25 Slugs) ~"If your next shot don't kill em, they may as well be at least blinded. Need I explain?" -Clint Fargas
-Napalm (8 for 30 Slugs) ~"You want something that'll sting AND burn? This'll do it." -Roadkill
-Dragon's Breath (3 for 50 Slugs) ~"I once fired a round of this off in my living room by accident. My wife ain't ever been the same again. She dead." -Clint Fargas
-Black Tiger (1 for 200 Slugs) ~"They say this shot is so unstable, it rips through the fabric of time, space, existence, and the shitting hole of the person unfortunate to come into contact with one. I think I might need a change of drawers just thinkin' about it." -Roadkill

-Custom Made Shotgun (Requires materials; price varies)
-Custom Made Shells (Requires materials; price varies)

"....Fine, I'm going back. But only because I need to go help out Tiri and Sheena. I'm coming back here some time though....Out of curiosity."

I begin to put my seape return code in, then stop suddenly and open the gate.



Curiosity has gotten the best of Vahn.

I'll grab the sawn-off. With Napalm ammo, if you'd be so kind to let me have that.

Vahn:

Spoiler:

You open the gates despite being warned twice not to. A pair of eyes begin to glow behind the gate as you open it, and a hand grabs you and pulls you in. You feel your torso being viciously ripped into and torn apart and your lifeless body gets dragged further into the darkness.

Riley:
"Here you go, one Lupara and a set of 8 Napalm shells. You take care now. Hope you don't remind reloading every two shots."
Remaining Slugs: 50
Obtained:
Lupara x1
Napalm Shells x8

(Shotgun Skills: Sawn-Off)
---Lupara (20m base range)
-Shotgun Fire: 1 Shell (Basic Attack)
-Dual Blast: 2 Shells (More likely to hit)
-Disembowl: 2 Shells (A close ranged attack where to user drives the barrel into the target's stomach, and then fires. Range: 1m)
-Reload: Reserve Ammo Equal to clip size (Self-explanatory)

Tooltip: Shotguns are more effective the closer you are to the target

;-;



I lose gg.

Kal:

Vivian: "Hazel... ugh. Look... Kal... I'm scared too. I don't know where I am and there are these... monsters out there. I'm sure all our other friends are out there trying their best to make it through this. You can't give up, Kal."
Isabella: "Vivian's right. Forget about what Hazel said. If this is your life at stake and you need help, don't be afraid to ask. We have faith in you Kal, that you will do the right thing in the end. Try not to think about Hazel, she has her own demons to face, trust me. I really hate to see you cry, Kal. Look. If you want me to come over and help you confront this man then send me your Seape code. I don't think running away is an option this time... just... let me help."

>

Skip the knives, head to a medicine store.

Riley:

Spoiler:

You decide to head out of the gun show towards the medicinal shop where you see four men in suits, among them is Vinnie.

"Hey-hey, Riley! Good to see youse. How ya doin'? I'd like you to meet my new associates: Barnes, Tony, and Salvatore. After I got da boot out of da don's old gang, I decided to reunite with my old pals from the odd jobs, and it's about time that we're gonna run things around here. Screw the don, and his godfather! Everything's comin' up Vinnie!"

>

Sounds appetizing. Mind if I join in on the fun?

Riley:

Spoiler:

Vinnie nods at you. "Sure thing. We're just about to raid an herbal shop, steal all their shit. Why an herbal shop? 'Cause fuck youse, dat's why. Ready boys?"

"Aye."
"You betcha."
"Awgh, I just farted. What was that?"

Vinnie turns over and slaps Barnes across the face. "Why I oughtta. Anyway, I see you still gotcher trusty switchie, Riley. Let's do this." You all walk smoothly down the street and enter the medicinal shop.

"Why hello, my finely dressed friends. Can I... interest you in some... special herbs?"
Vinnie takes out his bowie knife and sticks him right in the stomach.
"No tanks, we'll take the register."
Vinnie's partners raid the cash while Vinnie finishes up with a patented ratsmile on the clerk.
"Hey Riley. Here's yer cut. Help yerself to anything in dis plant house."

-Obtained 100 slugs

>

Look around for something to drink. Preferably alchoholic.

Riley:

You look around for any herbal beverages and find:

-Ginseng Tea (Restores 30% Health and 30% ENG) ~"One of my favorites, I do grow a few roots at home and make a brew every so often." -Isabella Valentina
-Lavender Tea (Charges 4 Zodiac Gauge) ~"It's soothing, but I much prefer chamomile." -Vivian Moreno
-Scorpion Wine (Fully restores energy) ~"Fuck yeah! This is what I'm talking about. Shit tastes nasty, but it makes you feel like you could kick the world's ass! Also, I hear it makes you horny... huh." -Hazel Delphina

Hey Qualna Snake wine does that too lol. :3

Take 1 of each. Double up on the wine.
Look around for anything else that seemed interesting.

Riley:

You look around and find nothing else of significance other than "special herbs"... by which I mean weed. The gang stashes away the body and cleans up the blood.

"Nice place this guy had here... Whaddya think, Riley?"

>

I think we have ourselves a front of operations. Whatcha guys gonna do after this?

Kal:

"I'll be right over," Isabella says as she hangs up the call.
"I wish I could help, but I'm a little preoccupied at the moment," Vivian adds.

In a few seconds Isabella appears behind you.
"Kal, it's still a long while before sunrise. You should get some rest. I knitted you a sweater so you wouldn't be so cold, and a made you a cup of hot tea."
>

Riley:

"I was figurin' we'd stick it to one of da don's gangs. How's yer brudder doin' by the way? He feelin' any bettah?"
>

I'll have to check up on him. Then I have some business to attend to.

Riley:

"Well if yer lookin' for a chill crew to join, give us a call. You have my number already, but if you wanna call us at our new HQ... uh..." Vinnie walks over to the medicinal store's phone book and flips through the pages. "Yeah, just call da number on this joint. We'll be chillin' here for a while." Barnes taps Vinnie on the shoulder. "Uh, bawss, I ate some of the weird plants. I feel funny"

"You numbskuuuuuuuuuuull!"
>

Kal:

Isabella nods. "Yeah, you go ahead. I'll have breakfast ready in the morning."

>

As I leave to check Reed, I turn over my shoulder.

"Oh, and Vinnie. Lay low. Don't try to grab the Don's attention. You ain't big enough for it yet."

Riley:

"Don't worry about us. You just go do yer own thing."

You drive back to the hospital to check up on Reed only to have the nurse tell you he's already checked out. "Yeah, he's made a full recovery already. Don't really know where he went off to."
As you check your Seape, you find that Reed isn't online either.

>

Then I suppose I enter Hazel's code, grab the scorpion wine, and goooo.
