    Summary


    Gakushuu Asano doesn’t live to be sixteen years old.

     

    Three minutes to the start of the new year, his phone buzzes with sweet-sixteens sent too early. He steps over the edge of the twentieth storey of a nondescript office building, and he starts awake on his bed just as the clock strikes midnight, bringing in the new year and Gakushuu Asano’s fifteenth birthday.

    Summary

    “Well, it’s... it’s been a long time since I saw my family. I decided I’m going to go see them. Can you check if I’ll run into any trouble on the road? I want to be prepared.”

    Bruno grimaced. Looking for trouble meant he would find it. Then the rest sank in.

    “You’re leaving the Encanto?”

    The miracle did many things. But most importantly, it kept them safe.

    Summary

    A single stroke of luck puts Aventurine in place to execute a long-held plan and he doesn't hesitate to go all in.

    --

    His phone makes a shrill chirrup and he sits upright, scrambles for it, and tears through the multilayer security as fast as he can. The mark is talking to him, but he ignores them entirely; tonight took a lot of planning but if this is what he thinks it is, then none of that matters a good goddamn anymore. This is it, this is his chance, this is everything he ever hoped for, if only he's lucky enough to win it.

    Summary

    Aventurine is very good at his job, but it's not all games and bets; there's a lot of prep work that goes into everything he does. Of course, that can be fun too when your job is more about working people than working with people, you know?

    Just another Aventurine-typical day at an IPC-typical office, involving emails, bribery, blackmail, reports, cookies, gossip, and, of course, a small wager.

    Summary

    On his first visit to Aurum Alley, Aventurine finds a popular small child he can escort around and performatively buy treats for so that everyone will associate him with food and generosity.

    Meanwhile, Bailu finds an easy mark with deep pockets.

    ~@~

    “No!” the young girl yells, throwing herself at his leg. “No! I was running ‘cause they’re chasing me! Don’t let them take me back!”

    Well, that’s an entirely different story, isn’t it? He goes down to a knee again, already setting his hat on her head. “Who? Why?” He’s already spinning out exit strategies and flipping through the portfolio of gangs and criminals he’d read on the way over. The Xianzhou doesn’t have much in the way of organized crime but–

    “They want me to work!” she wails. “And study! But I’m tired and I want snacks!”
