Zatmeniye Caverns, Aquarius “Rather than calling you ‘P’ then, perhaps I should call you ‘Pi’? I’ve been reading a bit about the original Ophiuchian language and that seems to be appropriate…” The person— who had killed Mladen who had become Mladen who had passed on memories to Mladen —who had taken over Mladen’s life staredContinue reading “10.4: Atienna’s Questioning (Risposta)”

10.3: Maria’s Battling (Riposo)
Aboard Gloria’s Grail, International Waters Renée was already on Maria’s ship when she climbed on board with the blind girl in tow. He was in the middle of assisting Giorgio and Simon in lowering the ship’s flags when Maria stumbled across him. After they stared at each other for a full minute, she rushed atContinue reading “10.3: Maria’s Battling (Riposo)”
10.2: Cadence’s Gambling (Fallacia)
Twin Cities, Gemini Cadence stumbled out of the portal, heart and head pounding. She didn’t have a clue where she was—it was too dark to make anything out. If it wasn’t for the fact that she could hear herself panting, she might’ve thought she was dead. Scrambling blindly forwards, she ran smack into a wall,Continue reading “10.2: Cadence’s Gambling (Fallacia)”
10.1: Olive’s Dimming (Fiamma)
Bodhi Temple, Sagittarius Thwack. “We’re leaving for Ophiuchus at the end of the week, Ollie.” Thwack. “… Already?” Thwack. “Eunji is bright. Way brighter than me, and I’m pretty bright. She’s already memorized all the materials that they usually put on the exam and then some. She’s just got to memorize a couple more ofContinue reading “10.1: Olive’s Dimming (Fiamma)”
10.[]-2: A Brother’s Wrath (Pazienza)
( ) Carl Foxman knew that he was dumb as bricks. His father always said it. His mother never denied it. Allen was probably thinking it all the time. Cadence always said good-naturedly, “Come on, Carl. Everyone’s a little stupid,” making Carl think that the fact maybe wasn’t so bad. Fortuna plainly said he wasContinue reading “10.[]-2: A Brother’s Wrath (Pazienza)”
10.[]-1: A Brother’s Greed (Carità)
( ) The Foxman Family had its founding roots in an insignificant town in Aries. A place not even worth naming. Better to bury it. Because at the time it hadn’t been so much of a ‘Family’ as it was a ‘family.’ Frankly, in Allen’s opinion, it hadn’t been much of a family either. TheContinue reading “10.[]-1: A Brother’s Greed (Carità)”
9.[]-2: A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 2
Twin Cities, Gemini Gilbert was guided by a hand on the arm through a back hallway and down a series of crisscrossing steps. He was not accustomed to covert operations so he fumbled his way forwards bumping into walls and tables alike. Eventually, they slipped into a room divided into multiple sections by silk draperies.Continue reading “9.[]-2: A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 2”
9.[]-1 : A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 1
Twin Cities, Gemini Gilbert Wolff had never been an overachiever. He’d never been an ‘underachiever’ either. Just an achiever. He didn’t really put much thought into it when he was younger but all the people he’d hung out with at the time thought he was ‘cool.’ Whatever that meant. Didn’t matter much when his mother’dContinue reading “9.[]-1 : A Soldier’s Promise (di un Amico), 1”
9.6: Jericho’s (Lost) Raziocinio
Serpens Establishment, Ophiuchus Gabrielle’s office was quiet. Roberto had been assigned a Capricorn case regarding a financial scandal involving a Transmutationist, the country’s capital bank, and “an unsaintly amount of damned sausages.” Ferris was swamped at the Assignment Department due to the recent attack on the Black Constellation Detention Center and had to take lunchContinue reading “9.6: Jericho’s (Lost) Raziocinio”
9.5: Atienna’s Induction (Deduzione)
Zatmeniye Caverns, Aquarius Mladen was peculiar, to say the least. After the Piscese diplomat Moana had completed her transmutation on Mladen, he had inquired—rather oddly with a “Where? Here?”—about their situation and location. He had brightened when they had informed him of their location and had then gaped in horror when they had informed himContinue reading “9.5: Atienna’s Induction (Deduzione)”
