Arrival fallout

[cardinalsinned]

[Two Cesares and a Juan walk into a bar Canada. It may not end well.]

*bringing the wine, you two can follow* Come, let us not argue. I have been here nearly two years without reliable contact with any of my countrymen much less family. Let us drink well, and tomorrow we shall have a proper celebration.

[cardinalsinned]

[to Juan] I have been here as long as you and have yet to ruin anyone's belongings.

[then to other Cesare] Perhaps it would help if you could tell me your age or a bit about how you were taken. Two years without discovering a way out is difficult to imagine.

[maleborgia]

I am seventeen, although it is already early September, and had just turned sixteen when I arrived in this place. I was at that point studying in Pisa and, I assure you, it had not been my intent to appear here. Fortunately I arrived with Romulus and several of my possessions. Were you so lucky? If not, we shall have to see about making do. The better tailors unfortunately have left this place, and quality work takes longer to come by.

I have left Camp, but only for a single day. I was able to return to Pisa shortly after the new year, but I was drawn back here when that day had finished.

[foundjuanting]

You destroyed my clothing well enough... and my stomach.

How were you able to leave?

[cardinalsinned]

I arrived here with nothing but what you see on me. And I remember nothing of being forcibly kidnapped when I was sixteen.

[Guess who's ignoring Juan for the rest of forever]

[maleborgia]

I suspect you do not remember more than that.

[foundjuanting]

Are you both ignoring me now?

[cardinalsinned]

[totally ignoring Juan]

What else is there for me to forget? Or can I trust you to tell me?

[maleborgia]

*hand up to Juan. INNA MINUTE*

Plenty, just as I am sure that the details of your life do not match up with my experiences.

[foundjuanting]

[Stupid security cameras keeping me from comitting perfectly reasonable vandalism.]

[cardinalsinned]

We can reconcile the details in private. For now I would like to know where I will be staying, assuming I have your help in finding a place.

[maleborgia]

I suggest that you stay in one of the unoccupied rooms upstairs. You would be hard-pressed to find more private or better furnished lodging, especially at such short notice.

[foundjuanting]

You need not fear of an equal retribution, brother. It would be pointless here.

[cardinalsinned]

Thank you for the hospitality.

[then, to Juan] An empty promise made by an empty man.

[foundjuanting]

Only empty because I've been gutted, by a cain no less.

[maleborgia]

*taking a drink you both drive him to it* Please, have a seat. *motioning them to the table* If you will humor me, there is much I would hear of Roma. It has been too long since I have seen her.

[cardinalsinned]

At least when I kill a brother it is clean and quick. I did not leave you to suffer at the hands of an amateur.

[foundjuanting]

[Man if shaun were here to see that NOW.]

...

[Oh fuck this, trying to take down a douchebag brother]

Would you have me show you the lesson I learned? I will carve it into where you contain that withered heart!

[maleborgia]

*goddamnit fucking diversion isn't working on you, glass down and yanking Juan off*

Children, both of you!

[cardinalsinned]

[good, let someone else deal with Juan for a while. not moving to counter, although it is tempting]

Crawl back into your cups, 'dear brother'. Perhaps it will make you easier to stomach.

[foundjuanting]

I would say the same of you and that woman you drove to nunnary, but she is beyond even your reach now. A shame that you must slake your frustrations on our dear sister in her absence.

[maleborgia]

Do not denigrate our sister further by pulling rumor of such things into a place that has of yet no knowledge of it. Argue if you must! But keep it to a level that will not cause others to think poorly of our family or our world when they have no need to.

[cardinalsinned]

[quietly, because damn it, other him is right]

I do not know of whom Juan speaks, he has no sister. She gave him up the moment he endangered her child and when I took care of the situation, she shed no tears for his loss.

[foundjuanting]

[Man you are so lucky that the awesome Cesare is holding me back... not that an attempt to lunge isn't happening anyway]

I am sure father wept enough for both of them, as he mourned the loss of his only son.

[maleborgia]

*sure hope my arm isn't hurting your windpipe* Enough!
