The boy lands heavily on his back but springs up, sword drawn.

"Come on, focus... You really want to fight me?"

Opening the door to the dimly-lit gun store, Nagisa would find her sense of smell (if she still had one) overloaded with the scent of sulfur. The room she's in seems to be rather cramped, the smell coming from a door near the back. "May I be of assistance?" The owner looks positively vampiric.

"...Yeah, I'd just like to see if you have any special ammo. I'd like to stock up for, er, the end times or something."

Look for items that give attack bonuses, that don't go in the weapon slot.

"... Er, what do you have in mind?"
"Summoning, phantasms & invocations of power"
He coughs a bit, before apparently pulling out two books out of thin air. One is a large arcane tome, runic symbols and pentagrams on the front, colored turquoise. The other is a small, yellow handbook. "Invoking for Dummies," the title reads.
Mir heads over to the trinket shop.
"Healing magic, what have you got available for that?"
"Tomes, staves, reagents..." He seems to be getting uncomfortable with the amount of people in this tent.
Ryuto searches for the knives.
They seem to be there. "Are you going to buy something, lad?"
Sera decides to look around for less... obviously helpful things. She already has armor and a weapon. Perhaps there are things of a less mundane nature to look for.

That is, she goes to an accessory shop or equivalent
She could go to that purple tent, or to that western shop to get gauntlets or something.[/color]
Nobunaga looks for anything that would lend itself to defensive fighting.
Hook swords, Bo staves, they even have monk's spades...
The boy lands heavily on his back but springs up, sword drawn.

"Come on, focus... You really want to fight me?"
"It's best to know the strengths of your allies! Plus, it might be a good warm-up!" He holds his hand out and motions for him to start. "Come on!"

>Grin, adjust collar and straighten uniform "Do I look like I'd be in cahoots with him?"
"Y-you... with your strange clothes, just like that... I-... I won't sell my wares to Fiends!" He's visibly shaking.
"...Yeah, I'd just like to see if you have any special ammo. I'd like to stock up for, er, the end times or something."

Look for items that give attack bonuses, that don't go in the weapon slot.
"Ammo, hm? What type are you... looking for?"

Nagisa doesn't see anything in this cramped room.

Nobunaga stares fairly intently at the hook swords and monk's spades, committing them to memory. He focuses for a moment, seeing if he can reproduce either or both quickly. If so, he dismisses the summoned weapon and leaves a bit of gold - half the price of one of the weapons or 20, whichever is less - on the counter, and thanks the shopkeeper.

The youth takes up a calm stance, and within the time it takes to blink he was beside Fredrech, swinging at him.

Sera goes to the purple tent, looking for anything of interest.

Of course, Twin is neither man nor woman but an unholy eldritch abomination like every other Bay12er. The difference is they hide it better.

He can indeed produce them. The shopkeeper stares in silence as Nobunaga leaves.
The youth takes up a calm stance, and within the time it takes to blink he was beside Fredrech, swinging at him.
Despite his largeness, the strike was so quick it seems to surprise him, as he takes a step back. "Hm! Show me the strength that creates peace!" He clenches his fist, and a bit of the ground seems to fire at the boy.

A crowd seems to be gathering around the two.
Sera goes to the purple tent, looking for anything of interest.
She sees quite a number of things, most notably a shaking old man.

"...slugs, maybe? For this--" she holds up the shotgun.

"Would 100 buy the pair?"

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

He inspects it. "Hm... I see, I see. Very good. Would you like the regular ones...?"

Mawr, herself, ends up hunting for a store that sells protective amulets or things like that.
