True to his word, Shodan makes a point of leaving his sanctum even more rarely than usual - just in case Kaze decides to drop by. And just like he promised, there's a bottle of strong (and expensive) alcohol at the ready, frozen to the point of burning your fingers with frost. The Arrow's message sounded like he had more than a casual visit in mind, and that called for special measures.
It's a quiet evening, but that doesn't mean Shodan is idle. With thoughts racing around his brain (like "What's really up?" and "What kind of desperate are you to turn to me for life advice?"), he elects to occupy his hands and mind with work. When he appears, Kaze will find the front door unlocked and the ones nearby, leading to the sanctum's workspace, slightly ajar with light in the room.
Inside, the Libertine gutted an arcade game machine, trying to get it to work. And he does. Kind of.
"I AM SINISTAR!" The synthetic voice roars as the Talon enters the Temple's premises "RUN! RUN! RUN!"
