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)”
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”
9.3: Werner’s Stand (Crollo)
Twin Cities, Gemini Werner was surprised when Nico delivered to him and Oberst Fritz von Spiel the news that they were to have the meeting with the Romanos and the Foxmans at the end of the week.

9.2: Olive’s Naivety (Sapienza)
Bodhi Temple, Sagittarius As the air v-tram descended through the clouds, the extravagance of Bodhi Temple’s square arches became revealed. They rose tall and black against the brown peaks of the mountains and stood over a large stone path that wound up the mountainside. At the end of the stone path was a large brassContinue reading “9.2: Olive’s Naivety (Sapienza)”
8.4: Maria’s Capture (Fuga)
Hapaira, Pisces “We’ve been on this so-called hunt for over three days now, Capitana,” Morandi grumbled from where he sat at the foot of the steps. “This isn’t looking good. If the Campanas were to…” “Nonsense, my dear Morandi!” Maria laughed, wiggling her bare toes and feeling the smooth stone beneath her feet. She reachedContinue reading “8.4: Maria’s Capture (Fuga)”
8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)
Twin Cities, Gemini The train ride to the Twin Cities was uneventful. The passage required two stops to switch train cars. One stop was at a medium-sized town in Pisces, and the second was at an outpost on the border Leo shared with Gemini. Due to the sizable distance between northeast Gemini and southern Capricorn,Continue reading “8.3: Werner’s Diligence (Rilassamento)”
8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)
Sihyeon Villa, Sagittarius When Olive awoke on that cloudy afternoon, he knew that it was going to be a terrible day. There was a heaviness in his chest that squeezed tight—almost as if an anchor hooked onto his heart was dragging his entire body deeper, deeper down. With it weighing him down so heavily, theContinue reading “8.2: Olive’s Stagnation (Accelerazione)”
