Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the docks, whispers circle ‘round the man with a crooked grin, shaking his head like he’s trying to forget last night’s blur—hard liquor spilled, raised brows, and that sharp edge when the blonde in the torn coat accused him of darker deeds. They say he laughed it off, but the flicker in his eye didn’t lie. ░▒
▒░ And that wasn’t all stirring beneath the moss-draped eaves—fog thickens by the hour, swallowing secrets and setting nerves on edge. The Silent Serpent Syndicate’s grip tightens, trading relics and shadows, while the restless bayou breathes out ancient threats no one dares name. ░▒
