Alice does some MENTAL CALCULATIONS. And she's not sure when she started calling Arlington 'Harry' mentally. That's worrying, but not IMPORTANT. Hmmm... "Well, we'd have to carry less each, and it'd be cutting it really really fine, but... Yeah, I think I can manage it without dipping into my reserves... Maybe."
"Why's that important?"
"They're damn near EMPTY. Especially if I want to do more than one trip- which I still might have to do."
"I really don't know this place as well as you do, Alice. It's probably a better idea to stick together..."
"Yeah, I just figured that out myself. Hold on, lemme do a TEST CASE-" She grabs your hand and pulls you into a dark corner of the half-collapsed lobby, and once more you fall into the shadows...
And walk out the other side, on the opposite corner of the room, perfectly fine.
She seems to consider. "Yeah, if this level of AMBIENT MAGIC is everywhere, I should be able to get us there. It'll only be short hops, mind, so it might be a little... Motion-sickness inducing."
"I'll be fine."
"Okay..."
BASEMENT CACHE
You hold your head at all the discontinuity. Ugh, that was pretty terrible. You wait a moment while you adjust to your new surroundings for the twelfth time. At least this time you have enough time to do so.
"Hey. Hey. Get it together." Alice tosses you some kind of PISTOL, and you put it on via its SLING. You also pick up a pair of AMMO CANS and a pair of the... "What are these pistols, anyway?"
"GLOCKS. G21 Gen5, to be more precise."
"... And why are you giving them to me?"
"They're good stuff, and they're already in .45. Besides, PLASTICS are EASIER TO ENCHANT."
"... Right, let's take all of them."
"One thing at a time." Alice collects the other three pistols and a pair of AMMO CANS, which she puts in her new BAG. "Okay. Now we're ready to go. Um. This might be a little uncomfortable, but..."
She gets behind you, and puts one arm AROUND YOUR WAIST. She then uses it to start PULLING YOU THROUGH THE SHADOWS.
On the plus side, you're getting used to the discontinuity.
On the minus side, you're not quite sure what to make of this.
