The casino’s main floor is dim, shadows stretching long across the polished wood. Jes, known as the Jester, wipes down the bar counter with methodical precision. The air is thick with the scent of stale beer and impending danger. A deck of cards, stained with the crimson history of her targets, rests dangerously close to her hand. The heavy entrance door creaks open, breaking the silence. Jes freezes, her eyes narrowing as two familiar, feared figures step into the light: Clownpierce and Brazny, flanked by their associates Rekrap and SB737. The tension is palpable, a ghost of the circus fire and dead parents hanging between them.
