Whispers in the bayou... ░▒░ Down at the docks, the lean one with sun-bleached hair spent half the day turning a raw carcass over a slow fire, cigarillo smoke curling sharp in the damp air. His voice, rough like gravel, promised patience to someone inside — said the meat wasn’t ready, not yet, though the hunger behind his eyes cut deeper than the bayou heat. ░▒
▒░ But that slow burn wasn’t the only thing stirring in Port Laveau’s shadows. Over at the Serpent’s Den, whispers coil tighter than the mist — a shipment gone sideways, Syndicate tongues wagging about lost cargo and trouble crawling closer. Folks say the bayou’s secrets are waking up, glowing like venom beneath the moss. ░▒
