A loud and clearly irritable grumble could be heard echoing through the spacious halls of the Institute of War, as well as the steady footfalls of leather on stone. Malcolm Graves eyed his surroundings warily, making sure no one was following him as he made his way through the building, looking this way and that for any sign of trouble, or shockingly enough for once, help.
In his hands lay Destiny, his faithful and trusty weapon of choice, hand-crafted and custom-designed to his tastes and needs from a very special and very expensive creator. Thankfully even before his time locked up in Zaun, Graves had managed to keep a personal stash left from his former con days and could easily afford his services, and it was very well worth the gold. However, just as any other weapon, Destiny was vulnerable to wear and tear, hextech or not, and was now showing signs of faulty work. The outlaw glanced down at his shotgun and winced slightly as a few sparks flew from the barrel, followed by the smell of burning ozone.
He had attempted to contact the old creator for repairs, but was met with a vacant workshop and a sign telling of vacation, much to his dismay and frustration. So here he was now, resorting to some mechanics of any sort that may in the off-chance might know how to deal with hextech weaponry. His first thought had been to visit Piltover, but considering his reputation as well as it's love of law, he decided against it. At least not until all his other options were worn out.
He growled again, gritting his teeth as he heard another spark sizzle from his trusty gun. Hopefully he wouldn't run into anyone who'd want to mess with him at a time like this. He was in no mood for games.
