Twin Cities, Gemini Cadence pulled herself onto all fours with a grimace. Her head pounded, her ears rang, her mind was clouded by memories and feelings that weren’t her own—a battle between saint candidates inside Ophiuchus, the death of True Conductors, and a murderous rampage of revenge. From these things, she reached a conclusion— TheirContinue reading “13a: Copper Cadence”

11.[]: Francis’s (Theta’s) Singularity
Twin Cities, Gemini The past had become a blur for Francis. Sometimes memories of running barefoot across limestone brick on a warm summer’s day crossed over with memories of squeezing between tight alleyway walls while wearing hole-riddled shoes. Echoes of laughter ringing through open halls lined with white pillars bled into echoes of the metalContinue reading “11.[]: Francis’s (Theta’s) Singularity”
11.5: Jericho’s (Dicotomico) Hatred
Twin Cities, Gemini Talib had many questions for Jericho when he arrived at Warehouse 13. He procured a bullet-pointed list out from his journal and promptly read the list out word-for-word: “Why did Jericho want me to track Colonel—rather, Oberst—Fritz von Spiel? Why is Jericho working alongside an associate of the Romano Family? Why isContinue reading “11.5: Jericho’s (Dicotomico) Hatred”
11.3: Atienna’s (Inverso) Heroism
Zatmeniye Caverns, Aquarius Atienna opened her eyes. The firelight was crackling half a meter away, highlighting her face in warmth while leaving her back in the cold. Across the flickering flame she could see Yulia jotting away in her notebook again. The Aquarian woman’s back was facing the sleeping Aquarian party—away from Alexei. Atienna pulledContinue reading “11.3: Atienna’s (Inverso) Heroism”
11.2: Werner’s (Fidato) Command
Twin Cities, Gemini Werner Waltz opened his eyes. He immediately assessed his surroundings. He was lying on a firm bed; there was a sharp, antiseptic smell in the air; it was dim; and there was a brass sound trilling through the air. Saxophone. A record. He was injured, clearly, given the soreness at the backContinue reading “11.2: Werner’s (Fidato) Command”
11.1: Cadence’s (Sincero) Deception
Twin Cities, Gemini Cadence opened her eyes. She was flat on her back with the dampness of the pavement beneath her soaked into her suit jacket and pants. Pain throbbed up and down her limbs—unpleasant when paired with the taste of iron in her mouth. She blinked and squinted. It was pitch black. She couldn’tContinue reading “11.1: Cadence’s (Sincero) Deception”
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)”
