Wendy immediately grabs onto your shoulders. Your other allies are confused what riled her up this time but before they can ask, she presses her face right next to yours.
"Where did you get that?"
"G-get what-"
"You know what. <span class="mu-b">I know you're not one with the Lack, HOW DO YOU HAVE A FRAGMENT FROM IT-</span>" Wendy bites her tongue for a moment. "I'll ask later."
You simply swallow the rest of the pill and the fragment.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] The Lack, from your knowledge, is a gestalt consciousness. It's how W-Corp empowers a lot of their products, such as the various stones.
[SEEKER OF THE CITY] Yet you can get fragments from it directly somehow? Interesting.
"NICOLE. MAY I ASK WHY SHE IS ATTEMPTING TO KISS YOU."
You and Wendy both give Quentin a look of disgust. He promptly realizes that he spilled up, muttering out a weak apology.
Okay. Enough distractions. You gesture at Ashley to lead the way.
>4d6 SUPRLUS obtained! You'll gradually consume this as you make TALENT, COGNIZANCE, or CHARM checks.
Your other allies either didn't hear what Wendy said or had no fucking context for her schizo ramblings, so they just ignore that outburst of hers With Ashley taking the lead, you follow her down the long and empty aisles. You imagine they would have to have a light source as well so you'll just turn yours off when she senses them.
The only sound you can hear for hundreds of feet in any direction is your own footsteps. Your group is doings it best to hide them but they'll always be some sort of noise made. Especially when you have LEX IN YOUR PARTY. Though you thank your lucky stars when you notice that the further north you go, the more wildlife seems to have popped in out of thin air.
Random reindeer that skitter whenever they spot you, the occasional squirrel or chipmunk that are using the tall shelves to store the food, and other random prey animals. Some of the automatons are still roaming around the aisles as well and, given their bright pink glow, you imagine they're on YOUR side now.
>46!
It takes a while to find where the spooks are at WHILE also keeping a low profile. You can hear a pretty nasty sounding snowstorm blowing through the town outside. Seems like you'll have to deal with that once you're done here. Luckily, for now, it only helps to muffle your group's movement.
Ashley immediately snuffs out her lantern once you get close to the end of Aisle 10. You hear your own voice...but a mockery of it. Your group huddles back a bit to hide behind one of the shelves down here. Piercing around the edge of the aisle, you check to see what they're doing.
There's a small makeshift table that's been hastily put together in the the empty space between aisles, scavenged from whatever furniture was still usable from the various random shops. The two targets you were looking for busy scanning through some documents they have scattered across the table.
You take a moment to examine them as closely as you can from this distance.
