World of S.P.D.R: The Gunslinger

Ch. 32 Underworld

Downtown Vacuo

3rd Pov

Outside the Pub The Straw House

As they wander about the shithole that downtown Vacuo is they eventually come across an old bar called 'The Straw House'

Gunslinger: When you enter be careful, this place is not as friendly as The Bar With No Name.

Tai: The Bar With No Name was friendly?

Gunslinger: Welcome to Vacuo.

Tai: So what should I do for a distraction?

Gunslinger: Easy, just be yourself, start by talking the bartender's ear off with your love of Harem anime, which should get Archibold's men occupied. 

Tai: Alright...no offense but this whole distraction tactic is kinda played out do you think that he would notice something is amiss?

Gunslinger: Nah trust me I meet both of Dutch's brothers and when it comes to the intelligence Dutch got the lions to share, Archie is just a grunt who uses brut force to get what he wants.

Tai: Oh, okay what about the other one.

Gunslinger: He runs a restaurant in Atlas. Just go in and be your usual nerdy self, stick out like a sore thumb got it.

Tai: Alright, you sure you don't need me?

Gunslinger: No offense but you are not exactly built for stealth missions. Just keep everyone's attention on you so I can sneak into the back. 

Tai: Why can't you just enter like a normal person like the last bar.

Gunslinger: Because I have been banned from this place...twice...trust me unless you want a bar fight, stealth is my only way in.

Tai: Okay that sounds reasonable.

Gunslinger: And that just reminds me do not start any bar fights, just talk loudly, or loader than usual.

Tai: Okay got it *Thumbs up*

Gunslinger: Seriously do NOT start any bar fights if it looks like fists are about to fly you bolt out of there as fast as humanly possible okay.

Tai: *Sarcastic* You really know how to ease anxiety.

Gunslinger: Ah don't mention it. 

He pats him on the back and goes into the ally adjacent to the pub.

Tai: Wait how will I know when you're done.

Gunslinger: Just leave when it looks like your going to get your ass kicked.

Tai enters the bar, and this place made the Bar With No Name look like the Beacon ballroom in comparison, but he nervously looks around clearly out of his comfort zone but he takes a deep breath and walks to the bartender, a middle-aged human with a black greasy beard who looks at Tai unimpressed.

Bartender: What can get you?

Tai: Uh....w....water, please.

Bartender: ...Comming right up.

He pours him a glass of water, Tai takes a drink.

Tai: So do you like harem anime?

Bartender: ..................no.....................

Tai puffs his chest out and starts to project more.

Tai: Well let me tell you my favorite one that I watched back in Beacon, it was called Deamon Cross Deamon, I know the title is kind of lame, but there is a lot more to it than one might think.
