Closed starter for @xiudicium
Entering Howie’s Oddities, Gabriel wasn’t sure what to expect. From what he’d gathered, the place sold a bit of everything and that paired with the name were reason enough for him to go inside. It was a cozy kinda place with all kinds of junk that had Creation Peaks emboldened on it in a proud font. However, that was far from the first thing that caught his attention considering there was a dog on the counter.
“Hey there, little dude. This your place?” He joked, holding out a hand so the tiny creature could deem him a-okay before he scratched behind its ear. The Archangel entertained himself with the dog for a while longer, pleased to know it seemed to think he was good people. For as much as he loved humans, he trusted a dog’s judgement of character far above their’s. “No, I guess not, huh. Where’s your manager? No offense but I don’t trust you to count my change.”
Finally tearing his attention away from the dog, he glanced around the store hoping to spot whoever “Howie” was, and it must’ve been his lucky day because he got his wish almost immediately. He got way more than that. It had been a long, long time since he’d seen his elder brother but Gabe would’ve recognized him anywhere - even depowered with a whole new face and everything. “Shit. No way.”
