Adagio "CENTERSTAGE!"

1
An extraordinary handgun.
Used by Constella di Aria, Created by TaffyJam.
On Legendary Artifact Crescendo.

A highly customizable firearm, able to be reconfigured at the user's will. Matter is created out of thin air as the firearm modifies its own form and function to best suit the wants and needs of its performer. The magazine seems to hold four shots, but no matter what it always stays full.

The Adagio Multipurpose Instrument was a modular weapons system designed by Lotus for use by its star assassins. Its standard models required affixing the attachments to the gun manually to alter its performance, but a certain piece, coveted even more than Myrrh Sov's Slugger, was so much more than those it succeeded. Adagio models were kept in instrument cases alongside its varied kit, and labeled as such to lessen suspicion and give a sense of artist's superiority to its users.
