Siracusa, the city of mafia famiglias... it is a cloudy afternoon, and smell of pizza and other food from nearby ristorantes is filling the streets, as the Siracusans and the tourists busily move around the streets minding their own business.
"Hahahaha! Is that all you've got?!" Sudden sounds of a fight, intercepted by female laughter and taunts reach your ears as you are passing by an alley, making you stop in your tracks. Better not to risk catching a stray bullet or being seen by whoever is fighting in the alley.
"Pathetic... I see dear old dad is hiring just about any wimpy street rat these days, huh?" The female voice says mockingly, followed by more sounds of a scuffle... and then finally a sound of a lifeless body hitting the floor.
Silence follows for a while, until you hear steps getting closer to the entrance to the alley where you are currently standing... before you can make up your mind whether to get away, or try to pretend as if you seen nothing, a figure emerges from from the alley. A lupo female with long slightly messy white hair, few blood splatters visible on her face, she is wearing a black coat, but there's clearly more blood on her clothes... hard to say if her own or someone else's. Perhaps most damningly, she is holding two large swords, both of which have blood dripping off of them onto the pavement underneath.
For a moment it seems like she is just gonna pass by without paying any attention to you... but then she suddenly turns her head and looks right at you with her gray eyes, a grin appearing on her blood-covered face.
"Hm? Are you curious about what just went on in that alley? Haha, feel free to check!" She says, seemingly unbothered about you being a potential witness to what definitely seemed like some kind of mafia-related killing...
"Don't you hate it when you go on a leisurely stroll, and suddenly a bunch of trash that needs taking out pops up in front of you?" She continues, not waiting for you to decide whether you want to see the carnage she left in the alley.
"Such a waste of time... and now I will have to lay low for a few days." She says, and then you can see a glint in her eyes as she still looks at you. "You know, mafia famiglias don't like people who have seen too much. And if they find out you were nearby when I took out the trash in the alley here, they might start looking for you... if only to silence someone who seen five of their own get cut to pieces by a single Lone Wolf. It's not a good look for them after all." She says, either trying to scare you... or perhaps speaking from experience?
"But if you let me use your house, hotel room or whatever you have here in Siracusa... I will personally make sure they never find out you were here." She finally suggests, still grinning rather unnervingly considering the situation. Was she telling the truth? Or just made up an excuse to lay low at your place? After all, hiding her could end up putting you on mafia's radar even more! Though regardless of her intentions... is it wise to refuse an armed female covered in blood who just killed a few mafia members nearby?
"Oh, name's Lappland by the way." She introduces herself rather nonchalantly all of a sudden while still watching you and awaiting a decision...
