It doesn't take long to get onto the train heading towards District 6. Given that your district allows for mostly free travel, you don't exactly worry about paying fare. The benefits of G-Corp, you suppose.
Once you're actually on the streets of the district, you realized how it still sucked as much as last time. A swarm of greasy, gluttonous people swarming around the food stalls lined every god damn sidewalk of this place. You're thin enough to pass through them without much effort.
You take in a deep breath when you manage to get into a mostly clear street without B.O and lard suffocating you. You notice something quaint about the building you're standing in front of. A bright red and white stripped flag is hanging above it.
You pull out the card Adam gave you before you knock on the door. That's when you notice there's a slit on the door. It opens up but it's too dark to make out anything on the other side. "Did you do what I told you last night?"
"I made sure to drink my water last night." You read off the code phrase. There's a click of the door unlocking before the slit is closed shut. You pull the door open with your telekinesis before stepping into the building. You are immediately plunged into pitch black once the door is closed.

It takes a minute for any kind of light to return to the small room you're in. Lit incense candles hang around the cramped shelves and the front desk of the shop. It's barely enough to let you see the stock on the shelves. Pickled limbs, occult books, bizarre looking knives, vials filled with unknown fluids...you're not sure what most of them even do.
[ANOMALOUS ABILITIES] There's a ritualistic aspect to the Anomalous to most people. No one understands how it works so they do whatever they can to channel its power.
The shopkeeper sits at their table, cloaked in the shadows provided by the faint light of the candles. A big, flowing robe hides everything about them aside from their face. That is covered by a really offputting looking wax mask of an elderly woman.
You literally can't tell anything about them aside from their clothing and their general body frame, which is thin and wiry. They tilt their head at you before speaking.
"My, my." A feminine voice, so a she then? "I didn't expect YOU to come over. I was waiting for that cute little boy. What's his name, Adam?" <<span class="mu-b">"I suppose I could make an exception for her, mmh?"</span>> You gag internally. Yeah, no. You shake your head to clear your mind.
"Yeah, well, he gave me the card and I feel like I have more to often than him." You place one of the A-Energy boxes in front of her. A small gasp escapes her and she damn near tries to take it from you but you're fast. You pull it back with your mind.
This only gets her to gasp louder. "Ah ha. A fellow freak. I believe we can...relate in our struggles, hehehehe. Sure, sure. I'll show you what I got!" It's time to shop!
