Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at Laveau’s marina, the man with the tired eyes caught the pun about clouds and Microsoft, but it was the woman in the sun-bleached bikini who held his gaze—skin slick with sweat, heat thick as molasses, and a smile that promised more than words. Her laughter slipped between the cigarette smoke and the hum of rusted engines, drawing attention like a moth to flame. ░▒
▒░ But that wasn’t the only thing stirring in the sticky air—whispers ripple through the docks about debts gone sour and shadows moving just beyond sight. They say the Syndicate’s new grip tightens with a chill creeping from the bayou itself, voices in the fog promising pain to those who slip. The night hums with a tension that’s part fear, part hunger. ░▒
░▒░ From the balcony, the woman who watches says nothing, her gaze folding into the darkness like a secret. ░▒
