Cafe Ambrosia…. The arms of a father, a mother’s love… all in a cup and at your fingertips. The scent at this point had long drawn in many a honey bee, but had yet to capture the attention of Ranieri. At least, not not fully. He’d kept his dark secret to himself ever since appearing before the...

To this girl, though, this isn’t a small change. His eyes, so coveted by the Bureau, had never failed to extract an intrinsic truth from someone he questioned. A stain etched itself into the marble of her heart. “I didn’t have the pleasure, sadly.” Ranieri replied to her, eyes soft and...

Elsie was met with a pleased smile, and a grateful gesture from Ranieri as he bowed his head slightly. Sitting before her as to make himself feel less imposing, he was careful when the transfer of the weapon occured, cautious in case it was actually frail. His glasses caught the light of the sun...

As they walked, the cozy restaurant was just now opening, with a small child in two long braids out front. She seemed to be school age, no older than 12, sweeping away the fallen and shriveled leaves and petals that broke off the vine curtains. She wasn’t dressed with neat fabrics or clean shoes...

Ranieri was relieved when she didn’t dart off– he hated it when that happened on land. He couldn’t help that he looked like an escaped chicken, zig-zagging this way and that. It was undignified, and also his ankles were weak and he’d already sprained one of them recently. If their meeting had...

“Didn’t see the ocean for that long…” Basilia hummed, heels hitting each stone step they took that curved around the corner and back down the road they came. “Sounds nice.” The words didn’t sound like they were said to be heard, easily blending in with the buzz of the town. Basilia reached...

Shiny brown leather shoes came to a halt, followed by the soft tap of a silver cane into the cobblestone. Ranieri’s hand tightened around the handle of his brief case, eyes widening a bit. Oh, I forgot to pack my hat… He frowned, having actually liked the one hat he owned. Should I try making...

“Nyx.” Basilia repeated, the words leaving her lips like the parting of clouds in the sky with no haste or care. She didn’t seem to mind this interaction, in fact, she had changed her tune pretty quickly from a marble statue to a conversing social butterfly. Yet, just saying the name of...

Mauro listened to Enzo, leaning one elbow on the counter and listening to the seagulls in the far distance. “Babysit the other jeans? No.” he said simply. “She made a big show of that newspaper. Makes me think she doesn’t want us focusing too hard on other people. Or things.” Mauro lowered his...

“Captain!” One of the young men spun on his heel, facing Mauro and Enzo with several unique looking notes in his hand. It seemed their single paper mark had become a generous bundle of bills. While Enzo’s mind was swimming with complicated thoughts, it appeared that those he had spent the past...

“It’s been ages. How have you been?” Basilia replied casually, high heels clacking as she descended the decline of the street. An arm looped around Nyx’s, and just as quickly as the newcomer had initiated the fake meeting, Basilia seamlessly continued it by nearly dragging her along. Their...

Mauro moved with his boys the same way a pack of neighborhood dogs did, some who were exhausted still carried a strong stride as smoke bellowed from their little cluster. Smelling of fish and brine and all the lovely scents a sailor earned, the group finally plodded up a few flat stairs of...

And below was not much calmer… The schools of human fish on land joined together in a chorus of chatter, and even before the facilities opened their doors. Panning down from the bobbing figures who just emerged to the “Upper Tubero”, we go beneath the surface to get a glimpse of the shining...

~Mentions and interactions~ @SavannahSmiles @Abyss @Eliruz @Headphones “I’m perfectly– guh,” Cetus’ most graceful words slipped from his mouth, glancing down at the towels Verity and Freyja had brought over. A kindness he didn’t quite get, but really he chalked it all down to needing to...

~Interactions~ @SavannahSmiles The pool room was filled with hacking and wheezing for a few seconds after Marina rescued Cetus from his heedless stunt. His eyes were clouded and vision blurry from the pool water soaking into his eyeballs, likely still wide as moons. His hair clung to his...

~Interactions and Mentions~ @SavannahSmiles @Abyss Cetus kept his vigil outside the clear doors leading into the pool room, though the doors seemed to muffle the ghostly echoes of the girl’s voices from within, so he felt like he could drop his arms. Squinted eyes relaxed and he slumped...

~interactions~ @Headphones Taking words out of a script and reciting them tended to work in the first few years on the street, but never at the actual table. When in the presence of an unknown force, one should explore all avenues. There was some kind of voice telling him that, standing...

~Interactions~ @Headphones Reese wasn’t expecting that voice to come out of that cat. He’d heard Boryan speak of course, only a few minutes ago, but up close like this it really did hold a booming presence. Reese’ voice was also quite deep, but it lacked any real weight to it. When he spoke...

~Interactions~ @Headphones Indeed, Cetus was lost in the dark static of his own mindscape. The kick-back of trying to shove edible oddities into an upset, nervous, angry acidic tummy was beginning to knock his brain fuzzy. And, as silent and stealthy as Boryan was, there wasn’t a power...

~Interactions and mentions~ @SavannahSmiles @Abyss @Headphones It was all coming together, it seemed everyone was… officially awake, if not, then someone needed to check for a pulse. Cetus had tried to incite a schism but it was defused perfectly and swiftly. Reese had frozen in place...
