}}

=='''Background (in Bullet Form)'''==
'''Pre-History: The Janovich Family:'''

1893 - Yacob (Jacob) Janovich Born in Brooklyn NY to Ukrainian émigré parents

1915 - Yacob and his brother Nathan start Janovich Kosher Meat Company. Initially, they run it out of their father’s butcher shop, but it quickly expands due to increased export demands caused by WWI.

1919 - To supplement their income, Nathan begins running an illegal distillery out of the Janovich packing plant

1921 - Nathan Janovich killed in an industrial accident. Yacob continues the illegal distilling operation and also becomes involved in certain other organized crime activities, mostly specialized "disposals." As Jacob Jr. would later put it "Janovich Meats has the Kosher business, the non-Kosher business, . . . and the not at all Kosher business"

1922 - Jacob Janovich Jr (JJJ)born.

1923 - Semion (Sam) Janovich born

1940 - Sam Janovich marries Anya Ivankova.

1940 - Jacob Jr goes to England to fight as a volunteer in the British Army in WWII. After the war he continues to travel with a particular interest in occult and mystic items. He doesn't return to the US until 1965.

1943 - David Janovich Born. His parents, Sam and Anya, eventually have 4 additional children: Nathan, Katarina, Susanna and William. Nathan and William will later become part of local organized crime.

1955 - Jacob Janovich Sr. Dies of a heart attack. Sam Janovich takes over the family business.

1967 - David Janovich marries Maryam Madarovski

'''Rene Janovich’s History'''

• 07/22/73 – Reynard Julian Janovich born at Coney Island Hospital (Brighton Beach, NY) to David and Maryam.

• 3/17/75 - Sam Janovich dies of natural causes. Per his will control of the business transfers to his wife Anya. She immediately sets about reorganizing the company, including getting out of the "Not at all Kosher" aspects of the business.

• 5/12/75 – A burned out car containing the remains of Reynard’s parents is found on the Brooklyn side of Hell Gate Bridge. Though initially investigated as a murder, the final police reports list the deaths as accidental. There is a media sensation at the time, but no criminal charges are ever filed. Rene’s grandmother Anya takes over raising Rene.

• 10/22/85 – Jacob Janovich Jr. dies searching for the original Abbey of Thélème, (described by François Rabelais in “Gargantua and Pantagruel”). Rene is listed as his sole beneficiary despite never having met Jacob in person. The inheritance consists primarily of a large collection of occult artifacts and books. Rene ignores them at the time.

• 1986 – 1993 Rene has troubled teen years. He spends considerable time with his uncles despite them being declared “bad influences” by his grandmother. Rene has numerous scrapes and near scrapes with the law for various bits of hooliganism. He attends CUNY, majoring in psychology, but drops out before getting a degree. He takes some interest in his inheritance from Jacob Jr., but mostly he just sells bits and pieces of it for spare cash. He does study some of the books of Crowley and begins doing Tarot readings to earn extra money. He finds that he has some talent for accurate card readings.

• August 1994 – The spirit of Jacob Jr. appears to Rene during a fake séance, scaring off the client. JJJ berates Rene for squandering his gifts and true inheritance. Rene promises to make better use of his abilities in the future.

• January 1995 – Rene is sent to the NY State prison in Ossining for 6 months following conviction on fraud charges.

• 1997 – Anya Janovich dies. Ownership of Janovich Meats passes to a trusteeship set up for Sam and Anya’s children. Rene’s uncles Nathan and William (a.k.a “The Mobsters”) take over day to day operations. Rene holds various useless positions at the company.

• 1999 – 2001 – Rene is convicted of embezzlement following a scandal at the company. He serves 2 years of a 25 year sentence before the conviction is overturned on a technicality. Rene would not know until after his release that he was set up by his uncles, who also arranged for the technicality that allowed his eventual release.

• 2002 – Aug 2004 - Rene works as a con artist in NY. There are occasional charges brought against him, but none quite stick due to the interventions of his uncles and their associates.

• Aug 17, 2004 - One of Rene's client's, Galina Brezhnevskaya, becomes obsessed with him. Convinced that Rene is the re-incarnation of her long (very long) dead husband Vanya, Galina turns Rene and introduces him as Vanya to Brooklyn Cainite society (where she is regarded as something of a useful eccentric).

• Sept. 2004 - Dec. 2005 - Rene's transition is made difficult by his sire, who insists that he move in with her and live with her as her (human) husband, even to the point of forcing him to wear Vanya's century old clothing. He is also disturbed to find that his psychic abilities have become more powerful and accurate.

• Dec 2005 - Nov 2009 – Following an intervention by the Prince of Brooklyn, Rene moves from Galina's household. He attempts to return to his previous life, but even as his abilities make the job easier, his appetites prove difficult to control. He subsists primarily on cattle blood which he gets from the meat packing plant. He hides his condition from his uncles, who presume that Rene had set himself up as a gigolo to some wealthy old lady. During this time Galina continues to haunt him, both figuratively and occasionally literally (high Presence)

• Nov 2009 – At the Brooklyn Prince's “suggestion,” Rene leaves Brighton Beach for California. He decides to settle in Los Angeles to be near one of the company’s plants that renders chickens for the Asian market. He takes with him most of the contents of his grandmother’s house as well as his uncle’s collection of mystic esoterica, which he plans to use as props for his cons.

• Present – Following several disastrous encounters including a falling out with the local Giovanni, Rene escapes from LA for parts unknown.

 

=='''Psychological Profile'''==

Rene is a con artist by nature and it tends to color his thoughts and actions.

He also has had become used to weird things happening to him; typically bad, weird things.

The game will be high experience, and fast paced. Most of the players have played in my Amber games before, and so are aware that the game will be more free form then most other diceless games.

Unconventional and original are prized, and predictable and safe are discouraged.

There are at least two philosophies of game mastering. There are story tellers, who have a plot and story line in mind, and give the players a chance to insert their character into a fully formed and realized world. The philosophy I subscribe to is rather that an author's goal is to develop characters who progress through the story and determine the story themselves. I freely admit that my best moments as a game master is when I riff on off beat and improvised ideas given by characters.

I ask that all players be open minded and adaptable. There will be new powers, new characters not present in the books by Zelazny, and unconventional interpretations of the well known characters from the books. The rules in the book offer a guideline and a suggestion of rules. It doesn't define or limit the rules. I suggest that rather then curse what strange and bizarre things others are allowed to get away with, you instead present me with a wish list of outrages you want to perform, and together we work on a way to perpetuate it.

'''Spell of Warding Fiona casts the morning after, before the pattern walking is to begin....''' 

Bell, book and candle, I invoke your protection. 
Candle, bell and book defend me. 
Book, candle bell cause me to stay safe. 

Candle, flame to show the approach of danger, 
Book, give knowledge of who strives to harm me. 
Bell, sound alarm when those who would hurt me draw near. 

Candle source of light that I might see, 
Source of heat in cold, 
Burn the enemy before they reach my gate. 

Book with knowledge filled, 
Reveal the cause and source of danger. 
Teach me how I may stay safe and defeat my foe. 

Bell ring when anger and hatred imperil me, 
Klaxon that I am not suprised when the evil doer draws near. 
Provide warning that enemies do not suprise me. 

Candle flame become a raging conflagration to burn the fields 
Consume this house before it falls into the grasp of the enemy. 
Leave no stone upon a stone, sear flesh from the bones of my attacker. 

Book bludgeon the creatures who would do me ill 
Crush between your pages the antagonist. 
Ink flow like poison from your pages before my knowledge fall into the hands of the other. 

Bell become a cauldron brewing strong magic to ward my home 
The barrel of a cannon to slaughter those who march against me. 
Ring to deafen the ears of the sly one who tries to steal my secrets. 

By three magics I ward my home. 
Three icons will gaurd me in the night. 
By three magics I defend against my enemies. 

Let the light of candle grant me sight 
May book give me knowledge that leads to insight 
So shall bell warn me of evil's approach.

'''Game Notes'''

Caine arrives in each character’s home, announces that the war is over and it’s time to come home. He allows no protests, and each character finds him/herself in the courtyard in Amber, complete with a receiving line. There are several dignitaries there. There is a throne set up in the middle, with a blond man sitting on it. Next to him is a woman with slightly greenish hair on a smaller throne. A tall man approaches. Jessica does not show proper respect and finds a dagger stuck into her leg just above the knee. Random and Vialle are announced.

Michael is brought to the throne. He looks like a young version of Leonardo DiCaprio. He introduces himself and swears fealty to the King. Random thanks Michael, son of Bleys. Trent looks around to see what the current fashion is and changes his clothes appropriately. He then presents himself to Random. Random welcomes Trent, son of Julian. Jessica, daughter of Flora, is next (after removing the dagger). She wants to be known as Saiyayd. She is followed by Sarah, who seems a little skeptical. Chorea, Caine’s daughter, is next, wearing a Kabuki mask. The last one presented is Simon, who Random acknowledges as his son.

Chorea deploys her minions. She learns that a tall blonde woman that was sitting on the dais was arguing with the King about which of them gets to claim Simon. A short redheaded woman is talking with a tall redheaded man, and then that line goes dark. There is a knock on her door. It is Caine, who introduces himself as her father. They share an awkward hug. She asks about the Pattern. When he leaves, he has a passenger.

There is a knock at Sarah’s door. It is Bleys. He says he’s sorry for her, as there will doubtless be a line of young men wanting to get on her dance card that evening. He offers to be her date, and invites her to a private party in his rooms afterward.

As Michael is getting dressed, he sees a short, red-haired woman sitting in a chair by his bed. She offers him tea. He refuses but agrees to negotiate with her. She wants to prevent her siblings from using him as a catspaw by hiring him as her own catspaw. She gives him a bracelet with an image of the Pattern which slithers up onto his wrist. He gives her green underwear that he asks her to wear that evening.

Trent wanders the halls trying to find something to drink. He sees Fiona holding a small bag with a teapot and cups floating behind her. She greets him, and a door appears. She invites him to join her for tea. She warns him that he and his cousins will doubtlessly used by her siblings. She asks him to be her agent among his cousins. She offers him a necklace with a unicorn on it. She says that her mother was the last legitimate Queen, and she feels that her children are the legitimate heirs. He says he doesn’t feel that he can accept her gift right now. She says that if he agrees to be her agent, that would mean he wouldn’t have to return to Arden and join his father. He asks for time to think about it. She says she’ll pencil him in for the 6th dance, and he can give her his answer then.

There is a knock at Simon’s door. There are two maids and the blind woman who was sitting beside Random. Vialle dismisses the servants. She asks if he’s familiar with his mother. He says that Flora was a famous movie actress. Vialle knocks over the table standing up. She asks for clarification. He says it may be a different Flora. She asks if he has anything alcoholic to drink. She says they need to have an understanding, and says that his mother will be known as an earthling named Felicity. Vialle will find this woman and make sure she has wonderful memories of Simon’s childhood. He escorts her to the King’s office and she goes in. He hears raised voices behind the door.

Trent sees Jessica all dressed up heading toward the ball room. Julian arrives with his date and asks Trent how long he plans to stay in Amber. He wants to know when Trent will be reporting for his deferred military service. Julian tells Trent that he will now accept his responsibilities as a Prince of Amber. Julian says that Eric was Oberon’s legitimate heir; therefore if Eric has a child, that child should be heir.

Caine and Gerard talk. Caine asks him if he has the device.

Martin arrives at Chorea’s room. He introduces himself and says he is to be her date. She is wearing the dress that has been provided for her. She wears her kabuki mask. He asks her to remove it for just a minute but she refuses.

Trent arrives with a princess of Begma.

Bleys arrives at Sarah’s door with a bottle of champaign. He produces two flutes and pours. He says that he finds it awkward trying to determine when the first kiss occurs. He swoops her off her feet and kisses her.

Everyone arrives at the ballroom. Michael finds the table with ‘tweener girls. He then dances with all of the tall women. Bleys is sticking close to Sarah. Simon tries to find Flora so they can have a private talk in one of the alcoves.

Martin cuts in on Bleys and Sarah, and she gladly accepts. Bleys asks Chorea what’s under her mask, and if he can see. She says no.

Simon and Flora end up in an alcove. She’s sorry Random has so publically acknowledged him. He tells her about his discussion with Vialle, and suggests she talk with Random.

Sarah talks with Martin about Bleys. Chorea and Jessica talk, as do Simon and Trent. Chorea and Jessica go to “fix” Jessica’s dress. They go to a room and Chorea artfully cuts up Jessica’s dress. Jessica then dunks her hair into beet juice. Chorea tells Jessica that she’s from the Courts, and demonstrates her chords. Jessica is impressed.

There is a blare of trumpets, and Random and Vialle enter. Random walks up to a podium and gives a bad speech. Vialle tugs on his sleeve and he finishes. They dance, and then they start walking back to the balcony. Flora goes over to them and herds Vialle into an alcove. Jessica wonders out loud about what her mom is doing. Chorea sends out a minion and eavesdrops on Flora and Vialle. She reports the conversation back to Simon, Trent and Jessica.

Fiona grabs Trent’s hand and tells him it’s time for the 6th dance. Trent says he likes the idea of sticking around the Castle. She says his job would be her lab assistant. Julian is staring at them.

Simon goes to look for Random. He is watching Vialle making her way out of the alcove. Jessica goes to help Vialle find her way back. Simon asks Random if they can talk privately. Random says he doesn’t have time for that until tomorrow. Jessica arrives with Vialle. Random, Simon and Vialle go out onto the balcony and continue on to the Royal Chambers. Vialle dismisses the servants and slaps Random on the back on the head. She tells Random that Simon is beating around the bush about the fact that Flora is his mother. Vialle says that Simon’s “mother” will be introduced tomorrow. Vialle tells Simon to run along and she will explain things to Random. Simon gets a lot of alcohol. He is approached by Chorea, who accompanies him to the bar.

Jessica goes back to her room and changes into the dress she wanted to wear in the first place.

Trent agrees to work with Fiona, but doesn’t take the necklace publically.

A servant approaches Sarah and says that her parent has recommended that she go back to her room to rest for the Pattern-walking tomorrow. The servant says that the “parent” chooses to remain nameless. Jessica offers to accompany her, but Sarah decides to stay for a while.

Martin’s band sets up and he invites Trent up onto the stage to perform. The music changes. Simon asks Sarah to dance, and Chorea runs interference with the servant girls who have stuck to Sarah’s side. Michael and Jessica dance.

Simon and Chorea tango.

The party is eventually over. Sarah returns to her room to find everything done in red and orange, roses, and Bleys in a smoking jacket. She leaves and tries to go into town. The guards insist that they send a dozen guards with her. She returns to the Castle and camps out in Random’s office.

Chorea hears a scratching on the door. It is Bleys, complete with champagne. She puts a chair under her door knob and goes back to bed.

In the morning, Jessica sees Michael’s creature stealing the underwear she wore last night. She packages the things up and sends them to him.

In the morning, Chorea has breakfast in her room. Simon and Michael go to breakfast. Flora is there. She asks Simon to go find his sister Jessica. He goes to her room and a servant lets him in. He tells Jessica that Flora want her to come to breakfast. She gets dressed and goes with him. They talk, and she asks who his parents are. He says his mother was a movie star. They arrive at the dining room, and Simon excuses himself. Jessica tells Flora that Simon gave her brandy.

There’s a flourish of trumpets and Vialle arrives with a well-dressed woman. Vialle says she’s been able to locate Simon’s mother, Felicity. Flora pushes herself back from the table.

Flora pricks “Felicity” with a fingernail, and she falls to the floor. Vialle screams, demanding that someone arrest Flora for murder. “Felicia” liquefies. Trent comes in, looks around, and leaves. Guards rush in. Benedict arrives. He declares that since “Felicity” was only a piece of shadow, there was no murder. Flora says that “Felicity” wasn’t Simon’s mother. Jessica figures the situation out and runs out. She goes to Simon’s room. She tells him that Flora melted Felicity. They talk, “argue”, and he gives her more brandy. She leaves.

6' tall with a thin angular body; Green eyes - though that's hard to determine shadowed by the kabuki mask she apparently wears at all times. Her hair is black and either a wig or extremely long - at least there is an awful lot of it. She keeps it twisted up into a complicated hairstyle with two hair sticks that are almost certainly blades of some sort. Her armor is quilted over in dark green velvet and appears to be very new. The flat-heeled leather boots she wears are also done in dark green leather, and are held up by black braided cords laddering up their entire length - all of her armor appears to be held on by these cords. There are no buckles or leather straps. The only skin visible is around the neck, and that is very pale

Height: 5’7”,

Weight: 112lbs,

Build: Swimmer's frame

Eyes: Blue,

Apparent age: 14,

Hair: Blonde

Colors: Lavender and black,

Sigil: Black and white Ferret on field of Lavender,

 

=='''General Description'''==
 

Michael is a terror among the castle. He is the all around bad boy. He is never where is supposed to be and he is always up to something no good. He almost never looks at the women of court in their eyes, almost always stares at chest level. Just about everyone thinks he is "CREEPY" except those who LIKE that kind of thing. He does not "influence" the women of court. He learned the hard way that is not done.

His personal rooms in the castle always have an odd smell and a few maids HATE going in there to change his linens and straighten his room. Except for a few of the more saucy maids, those always leave with a smile. He is quite the artist and has a studio where he paints and makes sculptures of models. They look very life like. Made with some polymer that mimics warm skin. Many of the sculptures have exquisite designs on them, but he always have them in provocative poses. When he is not in his rooms, wandering Amber city in search of cats or in Harem world, you can find him usually in the gardens reading books. He does not care what kind. History, mathematics, mythology or science these he absorbs as if they were air. Which is very odd as he refuses to go to any formal classes and Bleys does not seem to be interested in making him go to any.

Wang is Michael’s favorite pet. He is sly, sneaky and awesome. He is quite large for an animal of his species. He seems to be part mongoose, part ferret. He has black fur with a white paws and nose. There is also a batch of white at the tip of his tail. He is about 26 inches long and about 10 pounds. He is often seen prowling in the dark corridors of the castle on errands for Michael.

=='''Background'''==

 La Rubio is a 28 year old, 6'1", strong featured and possessed of a thick blonde hair that is the source of his nickname.
 

=='''Psychological Profile'''==
 Friendly but Arrogant and very used to being the strongest and bravest. Willing to help any who are his friends. He has a great love of land and farming.

He tends to come across as a bit plodding, yet over-dramatic.

 

=='''The Final Testament of Kamapatchatakonital, Count Valentin, a.k.a. "La Rubio" '''==
Be it known to any and all who reading this letter that you read the final testament of Kamapatchatakonital d’ John y Isabella, D.G. Count Valentin, Viscount Lyonesse, Hammer of the Ambrosios, and Loyal Servant of King Ferdinand III of Baetica, known to all as ‘La Rubio’. I have this evening of my own will and volition ridden to the south, to the lands of the foul Ambrosios, to rescue Baron Sancha kidnapped from my presence this very evening using sorcery most foul. The Baron was kidnapped after making revelations that have shocked me to the very core of my being and which inadvertently activated a magical curse. The fault and shame of the situation is mine and its redress falls to me and me alone.

I ride forth knowing that my demise is likely imminent yet that will not stave my action, nor my wrath. Please inform my Sire the Duke that I shall fight bravely to the last and destroy many of my foes before the final trump is sounded. Please let Duchess know that she has always been a paragon of the highest of Motherly virtues. Greatly shall I miss her warm eye, gentle hand and clever tongue in these final days.

To my people I leave my lands and to my lands I leave my people. They are ever intertwined as the body intertwines with the soul. Together they are strong and the finest and all the realms, apart they would wither and yearn after one another.

And how, you may ask did I come to this sorry pass, where revenge and death are my only options?

I freely admit that my best moments as a game master is when I riff on off beat and improvised ideas given by characters.

I ask that all players be open minded and adaptable. There will be new powers, new characters not present in the books by Zelazny, and unconventional interpretations of the well known characters from the books. The rules in the book offer a guideline and a suggestion of rules. It doesn't define or limit the rules.

=='''Background'''==
Born to a Sudanese woman (Nadia) and a Russian Merchant (Pyotr)who escape Khartoum two weeks before the seige begins. Pyotr was a minor noble of the Russian aristocracy. Val is born on the voyage at the beginning of the siege March 13, 1884. Val was embraced August 1905 in the city of St Louis while traveling with W.C. Handy's band. Valistar does not talk much about his sire. The Kindred have learned that he will not answer and not to push.

He was loved greatly by his parents. They doted on him and did all they could to make him happy. At a young age he found he was a musical prodigy. He performed Islamey at the tender age of 10. He even once had the honor of playing before the great Russian composer Tchaikovsky. In the summer 1898 he traveled to the states where he fell in love with ragtime and vowed to return to follow this new brand of music. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory until 1901. In 1902 he heard the Blues for the first time at a train station in Mississippi and awed. In 1903 he met W.C. Handy and joined his band the same year his father and mother died. Luckily for him, his father had a good business partner who continued to handle the reins. Val came to New Orleans three years ago.
 

Valistar (Val) is also a student of Finance and Languages. He is fluent in Russian, Sudanese and English.

Opening Remarks

Doctor Penguin:

== Opening Remarks ==

'''Thursday, 18 June 1925 
: Corner office 
: Former Residence of the Finnucci Brothers, New Orleans 
: 2245hrs, Central''' 

The grandfather clock in what has been Giuseppe’s office was well oiled and obviously closely cared for. It occupied a place of honor in the room and when Orlando had arrived three days ago it was still within 10 seconds of accurate. One did not need psychic powers to know its importance to its former owner. 

Orlando carressed the mahogany side of the timepiece. ‘We start here then.’ 

Ornella entered and left quietly leaving a tray of candles and a glass of fresh blood. Though she said nothing, Orlando felt her presence strongly and it provided him with a lingering sense of her strength. Though she lacked the training or inclination for Necromancy, Ornella well understood the process and knew that it was best done without distraction. 

He drank the blood and lit the candles clearing his mind to focus on the clock and on the owner that had taken such care of it. He began the Chant of Summoning, in Ecclesiastical Latin. 

He continued the chant until the veil between the lands of the living and the dead was quite thin. “Giuseppe Finnucci, you are summoned to my presence,” Orlando said ominously. 

There was a subtle chilling of the air and then, lingering as if the spirit itself was recalcitrant, Giuseppe appeared, faint and wavering. "Why?" came the wispy voice with an ounce of annoyance. 

Orlando’s voice betrayed no small amount of anger. “Because you have unpaid debts to the Giovanni family. Because you stole from the family and thought you could get away with it.” His voice flattened, “Did you think that death would release you from your obligations?” 

A slight smile cast over the ghost's features. "We never assumed that we could get away from our obligations. Death is not enough to cut the ties to the family." 

Orlando sat in one ‘guest’ chairs in the office, and faced Giuseppe speaking conversationally “Good, a proper understanding of your situation will make things move forward more easily. This will likely be the first of many talks we have.” Orlando grinned wolfishly, “Is there anything you’d like to say before we begin? Any information you’d care to volunteer?” 

A thin eyebrow rose. "Such as?" He shimmered a little, whether in fear or amusement, wasn't apparent. 

With his mind, Orlando grasped the tethers that tied Giuseppe’s spirit to the Ghostlands and gave it a yank. “Let’s start with why you decided to sell off Family property and who you sold it to.” 

There was a tremor and the spirit grimaced. "Money," came the sandpaper whisper. "You can never have enough. And Bugs Moran out of Chicago." 
Orlando tcched, “Nicola Morello will not be pleased and your families will pay the price. No payment you could have received will make up for what you or they will suffer.” 

"But I enjoyed what I received in life for quite a while. And it gave me favor with Chicago." The spirit floated a little closer. "Why was it bad to make ties with the Outfit? They wanted a foot in New Orleans. My brother and I were willing to make a deal or two. The Family would have benefited in the long run." The shrug was nonchalant. "It was business; A favor for a future favor." 

“It was not your decision to make,” Orlando growled. You inbred two-bit bastard idiot. “And the fact that you did not inform your superiors tells me how much concern you had about the greater ‘good’ of La Familia.” 

Orlando tightened the chain just a bit more so that Giuseppe’s manifestation visibly jerked. “Understand that until I decide otherwise your existence is an eternity of painful servitude to the Giovanni. Your brother and your families will join you if you do not cooperate.” 

"So why go through the pretence of being reasonable?" Giuseppe asked bitterly. "I am doomed. You asked me questions as if you were reasonable and yet my fate was sealed from the moment you called me." The empty orbs narrowed. "I won't tell you any more. You want the money? You may find it." 

Orlando’s tone dropped any pretext of amicability “I don't think you understand the way this relationship works. You do what I tell you and answer the questions until I say otherwise.” 

He pulled the wraith's tethers until it noticeably distorted. “and I will keep summoning you and we will keep doing this until I get every piece of information you have.” 

The wraith contorted in pain, barely holding corporate. "Rot in hell," came the dry hiss as it glared helplessly. It began to fade, its energies exhausted. 

Orlando whistled the overture to Rossini’s "Barber of Seville" as he picked up the tray and left the room. He left the tray on a sideboard in the hall as he proceeded to Vincenzo's office. It isn't like Giuseppi or his brother have any where to go.
