Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

[Given that she got it off the black market, the answer to that is yes. She gestures at the gun with one hand.]

Be my guest. Just be careful.

[ nods, and picks it up, giving it a good lookover, weighting it in his hands... he's careful not to move the trigger or any of the latches as he turns it over in his hands, running fingers over the grooves.

....it's no flintlock mechanism, unless there's one artfully housed in there.

After a couple of minutes, he holds it out back to her. ]

Could you demonstrate its use? ...with the bullets removed.

[Takes it and removes the clip.]

Sure, but we should go outside, anyway. I'm not going to take any chances of there being a round in the chamber.

[ eyes widen at that simple action-- and he stares at the clip itself with (restrained) fascination.

--right. Outside. Looking up at her. ]

Ah-- yes.
