Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at Laveau’s gala, the woman in the blood-streaked dress stood frozen, eyes glassy as the dark liquid pooled beneath her feet. She reached blindly for the man in the worn jacket, trying to drag him away from the horror they’d just witnessed—breath held, the murmur of Kingston’s voice welcoming guests to the asylum still echoing faintly through the thick air. ░▒
▒░ But that ain’t the only shadow thickening Port Laveau’s streets; whispers spill from the docks of deals sealed under moonlight, the Syndicate tightening its grip. The bayou holds its breath, waiting for the next ripple—whether man or spirit that moves beneath the rotten moss and rusted beams, no one’s quite sure. ░▒
░▒░ Father Delacroix at the old church caught the news with a slow, knowing grimace—silent but watchful, like he’s waiting on one last secret to slip through those cracked stained-glass windows. ░▒
