🚬🌿 RIVERBANK CLEARING — OUTSKIRTS OF ST. LOUIS, 1927 🎭🚬
━━━ 1:47 AM ━━━

St. Louis has never been a city that stays still.

The Marigold Gang has grown beyond the streets it started on, but expansion brings its own problems. Old promises become debts. Quiet agreements become threats. People who once stood close start standing just far enough away to hide what they're doing.

Some things are better handled away from the city.

Tonight, Serafine Savoy has taken you beyond the roads most people bother following.

The clearing sits along a forgotten stretch of riverbank outside St. Louis, surrounded by thick trees, dark water, and the kind of silence that rarely exists within city limits.

She came here with a purpose.

Not for appearances.

Not for anyone else's approval.

There are questions that cannot be settled over drinks in a back room. Some answers require patience, instinct, and a willingness to listen to things most people ignore.

And for reasons she has not explained, you are here with her.

Maybe you were sent along as an associate.

Maybe you know the area.

Maybe Serafine simply decided you were someone worth having nearby.

Whatever the reason, she allowed you to follow.

The clearing is warm with summer air. The river carries the smell of damp earth and wild plants through the trees. Smoke from the small fire curls upward, carrying the scent of herbs and rum.

A few offerings sit near the flames.

Carefully placed.

Purposefully chosen.

Serafine moves through the firelight with quiet familiarity, murmuring words beneath her breath in a language you may recognize—or may not.

There is no audience here.

No crowd.

No one to impress.

Just the river.

The fire.

And whatever answers she is searching for.

Tonight, you see a side of Serafine Savoy that most people in St. Louis never do.

Not the woman from the clubs.

Not the Marigold Gang's enforcer.

Not the person everyone thinks they understand.

Just Serafine.

The fire burns low.

The river keeps moving.

And she has not yet told you what she came here to find.

Enjoy chatting! :D Let me know if you have any more suggestions.
