Repose

[From the air. Time-fuzz.]

Your siblings are well and with your grandmother in the north of the state of Georgia. Your father is not with them.

I have done the reconnaissance requested. There were a handful of meetings and they took place in a bookstore. [Location given.] The owner's name is Marcus Black, though he was not in attendance. The bookstore's security speaks to criminal enterprises, but I did not delve into it further. I can, if you would like.

Your Cardinal Agostini was meeting with a Dias for an exchange. They referred to the desire item as a 'pinecone,' but it was not such. This was a code name. The item itself was of a size relative to that of a man's arm and looked to be a hard, shining black material. This was transferred to your cardinal, in exchange for a jar of preserved female reproductive organs. The cardinal man said something of bringing this Dias to Rome 'soon to finish the ritual.'

Some of the Swiss guardsmen spoke amongst themselves when they were alone, and spoke as if something is amiss in your Vatican. The Inquisitors themselves spoke of you and your being traitorous and how they desired to be hunting. They spoke of Repose and various details about it and the people here. It seems they know you are friends with Misha. I would assume they know of Janus, as well. I did not recognize the others, individually.

They are finally all gone.

[Locked to Daniel W]
You are alive.

What is your relationship with your sister Iris Morgenstern?

[After this.]

Hey dude your Gunster's bro?

[Workers arrive late Tuesday. Their trucks file into town and head out north, toward the orchards and surrounding woods, and they begin setting up what looks like a facade for a town and some vendor stands. Later that day, fliers appear in various windows throughout downtown Repose. They announce a Halloween carnival, complete with haunted hayrides, bonfires, and a ghost town to walk through. The carnival is being run by local volunteers and the town's small businesses, there's no price for admission, and various vendors and craft enthusiasts will have booths featuring their wares. Costumes are encouraged, and the event will open to the public at dusk on Halloween.]
