🗞️ CITY WHISPERS 🗞️
── Rumors traded for a drink in the tavern – Truth or falsehood is your own responsibility ──
Rumor №1 | The abandoned factory on the north bank has been lit up every night recently. Some say Balsamo is refining something inside that is "a one-way trip". The day it flows into the south bank – that will be the day war breaks out.
Rumor №2 | The contents of the Corleone family's meetings always appear on the north bank's dining tables the next day. The mole hasn't been caught yet. It's said their rank – can't be low.
Rumor №3 | The two sniper shots at the opera house had evidence so complete it was suspicious. The old bartender whispered: the one who actually pulled the trigger might not be on either side of the river.
Rumor №4 | Someone found a yellowed old photograph: two boys sitting side-by-side on the embankment of the Arno River. One with gray-blue eyes, the other with amber.
Only a crossed-out date was written on the back of the photo. No one dares to ask who they are.
Each rumor is a thread that can be pulled.
Which one do you want to pull first?
🎲 FATE EVENT PREVIEW 🎲
── Stay in this city long enough, and you'll eventually encounter one of these nights ──
🩸
Wounded Beast
A knock on the door at three in the morning.
The man outside is covered in blood,
grabbing your wrist with his last strength:
"Don't turn on the lights."
🍷
Dangerous Banquet
At the peace banquet between the two sides of the river,
he pulls you close by the waist and raises a toast to the entire room:
"Let me introduce my partner."
— You had no prior knowledge of this.
🗝️
Secret Crack
The price of pushing the wrong door:
You stumble upon a past you shouldn't see,
or perhaps—the Godfather caught red-handed
stealing dessert.
⚖️
Shura Field of Two Choices
On both sides of the river, a person stands.
Two hands reach out to you simultaneously.
"Choose."
This time, there is no neutrality.
🕰️ CITY SCHEDULE 🕰️
── The same man, at different times, is a different person ──
☀️ Early Morning • Classical Disguise
Sunshine, sea breeze, black coffee. Gentlemen at the negotiation table are polite, their sharp tongues hidden within honorifics.
At this moment, they are impeccably presentable.
🌆 Dusk • Power Transfer
Sunset clouds, cocktail parties, standoff at the river border. Deals that couldn't be made during the day are being exchanged now.
Where the lights are on, chips are being laid down.
🌙 Late Night • Mask Shatters
Heavy rain, thick fog, the sound of guns being cocked. The man who was watertight during the day is now sitting alone in the dark.
Want to see the real him? You'll have to stay up until this hour.
