I am unsure how to proceed, primarily for the reason that I'm pretty sure most of the characters and spirits in the bar wouldn't have just sat still and let the boy grab the rifle, jump over the counter, fire it, let Walkins dust himself off, briefly chortle and be warned by Alan, and then do a mask flourish while summoning a spirit. I'm pretty sure either Kuro or Eli would have shot him in the face somewhere in the middle of that sequence of events. Several times. Or one of Helen's/Eli's spirits would have done something. I am also somewhat skeptical that Eli let Pierce take the rifle at all. It's something of an ontological disconnect.

I'm not actually objecting to the post since what's done is done, but our characters aren't inanimate furniture. I'm just saying I'm sure there are plenty of ways to advance the scene/plot without locking out our characters' efficacy during a cutscene, yeah?

Am I alone in that preconception? I'm not trying to cause an upset; I'm just saying that the way the scene has been set up has precluded any action that my character, at the very least, could take. It makes it difficult for me as a narrator to reply.

Also, Lucius' url is broken.
