Running to the first location, Matt updates his UI continuously to keep track of where he is. The location said a special store for gear, in the center of the city. He had to wear a fake pair of Hypnoshades to get through undetected. Thankfully, no one questioned his actions and appearance, and he was safely able to get to a store called "Music Knights". He entered the familiar sounding store, and was greeted with an assortment of headphones, discs, and tools. The attendant greeted him, and his nametag read "Sheldon", like the one from Inkopolis. In fact, it was like Sheldon, except wearing a synth-oriented outfit instead of his scout uniform, and Hypnoshades where his glasses were. "Hello there!" "General Kenobi." "What was that?" "N-nothing, sorry. I'm looking for headphones." Matt said. "What kind? Loud? Comfortable?" Sheldon recommended. "I'm looking for a pair called the "Neon Menace". Do you have it?" Matt asked. Sheldon looked a bit off-put by it, and signaled to follow him. Matt did, and was led to a back room of sorts with a table, multiple tools, and several kinds of resources. "The headphones you're looking for are not available, only craftable. Someone with the will to make them can do it, but I can't. Maybe you could try." Sheldon explained, and handed Matt a box with stuff in it. Matt looked inside and saw a disassembled pair of headphones inside.

He put the box on the table, and looking through the box, saw a manual with how to make it. He noticed he needed... "Industrial Strength Neon"? "Hey, what's Industrial Strength Neon? Last I checked, that's an element." Matt asked Sheldon. "Oh, you're gonna have to go get into a factory if you want that. They're a special adhesive and tool, which not just sticks stuff together, it gives it a neon glow in a color similar to its nearby sources." Sheldon explained. Matt wondered where a factory would be in this place, but then Sheldon brought out a chip. Matt took it, and inserted it in his shades. The chip contained a map of the entire Shaded Realm, even the outskirts of the city he was in. Matt downloaded the map, and handed the chip back to Sheldon. "Remember, don't get caught. I'm not sure what they'll do to you if you get discovered." "Got it. But is there anything else I need to know?" Matt asked before leaving. "Your guns won't work here. Best leave them with me." Matt hesitated before handing over his custom Desert Eagles, and told him to be careful with them. Matt then put the fake Hypnoshades back on, and left.

It took an hour to arrive at the factory, but Matt reached it. Oddly enough, it wasn't too far from the city, just a few miles away. Once there, Matt surveyed the building. It was like a regular factory, except the metal is oddly colored. There were guards at the main entrance, as expected, and since he didn't have his guns, he can't just shoot them and enter. He'll need to find a different way in. He noticed there was a loading dock on the side, so he got close. No one was around, so he snuck in. Oddly enough, there were no security cameras, so he got to the production area of the building. Looking around, he saw a box labeled "Industrial Strength Neon", and went for it. He grabbed it, and stuffed it into his pocket dimension. As he was sneaking out, he noticed a strange door. He entered, and inside was a table, with just a lone box inside. He opened the box, and saw... A neon blue pair of shoes? Matt took off his regular ones, and put on the new ones. He put the old ones into the same pocket dimension, and felt the shoes were a lot more fitting. He snuck back out, and ran back to the main city. 

He disguised again, and made it back to Music Knights. When he arrived, Sheldon was at the counter, waiting. "Good! You're back. How'd it go?" Sheldon inquired. "I got the neon, and this pair of shoes!" Matt pointed to the new ones. "Fresh!" Matt went straight to the back room and started crafting. Assemble a few parts here, stick some neon there... A few minutes later, it was done! Matt put on the headphones, and they were glowing. Sheldon remembered something, and gave Matt back his Desert Eagles, but with one key difference: They were neon. "I customized those so they can do damage to people from this place. Felt like it would be helpful for you in the future. Come back here if you have any more weapons you'd need to customize, I've been tinkering a lot lately." Sheldon said, and requested. Matt liked their style. He said thanks to Sheldon, and went off to locate the next item: The Turntable.
