( ) 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.

8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)
Twin Cities, Gemini “Why aren’t you saying anything, huh?!” Thuds resounded through the near-empty casino. “You just said you were going to talk!” Another thud. “A minute ago!” Thud. “So why!” Thud, thud, thud. “Are you so damned quiet?” There was a monstrous roar. “Talk, dammit!” Whistling, Cadence watched as a man was sent flyingContinue reading “8.1: Cadence’s Honor (Disonore)”
7.2: Cadence’s Family (Conoscenti)
Twin Cities, Gemini The synchronization meetings that Werner liked to hold at the beginning of each week were events Cadence actually enjoyed. But calling them meetings did them a disservice. Despite Werner’s attempts to keep things professional and controlled, they always unraveled into something resembling the chaos that graced cheap, late-night bars. Mostly in partContinue reading “7.2: Cadence’s Family (Conoscenti)”
