Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at Laveau, under the jaundiced glow of flickering neon, the woman with sharp eyes and arms crossed tight held a chart close like a secret. She raised both brows slow, voice dripping with heat and suspicion, asking if the man with slicked-back hair had been courting another deeply—whispers say he’s been slipping deep into other pockets, relieving drunks of more than just their pride. ░▒
▒░ And that wasn’t the only thing stirring in Port Laveau’s shadows; the docks hummed with muted threats, where the Silent Serpent Syndicate tightens its grip, weaving fear through the humid air. The barflies muttered about fractured trusts since Baptême’s rituals went sideways—a price unpaid, leaving blood and silence to seep into the bayou’s rotten heart. ░▒
░▒░ Deputy Thibodaux, face tight as a drum, caught wind of the talk, eyes flickering to the door like it might burst open any second. ░▒
