Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the docks, they say the man in the threadbare jacket—shadowed eyes darting like he’s got a ghost on his heels—slipped through the fog with a twitchy step, clutching a shabby ID that barely masked a past full of dirty cuffs and whispered deals. The bayou’s breath hung heavy, and his every move screamed ‘wanted.’ ░▒
▒░ But that wasn’t the only thing stirring beneath Laveau’s rotting palms; word from the Den swirled of silent trades and coded whispers, where shadows coil tighter and the Syndicate’s reach creeps closer, wrapping the city in a slow, inevitable squeeze. ░▒
░▒░ Across the water, the sheriff’s boy watched with a mouth pressed thin, eyes flicking to the door like he’s waiting for a ghost—or a gun. What’s he holding back? Only the bayou remembers. ░▒
