| It was a cold and stormy night in Venice. Guiseppe had reached his limits. He stumbled into the inn's doorway to find that only the bartender was inside. "Where is everyone?" He asked. "Gone home. It's getting late. You should follow in turn, son." the bartender responded. Guiseppe ignored this and requested a cup of beer. The beer threw him in a trance and he dozed off without warning.
He spent the night at the inn, sleeping in a vacant room on the second floor. He took his time walking downstairs and had built up energy that needed to be well-spent. He rushed outside and paid the bartender a handy little tip of 20 florins. Guiseppe raced through the city streets, climbing, running, jumping and curving through the streets. Soon he was on the rooftops. He was searching frantically for a pigeon coop. He finally found one and rushed over to open the cage and grab a mission. He took the finest-looking one he could find: a jewel-encrusted red ribbon scroll that had a mark on the side - an obvious letter from Lorenzo de' Medici.
He unraveled the parchment, panting furiously. The letter said:
"I've tracked a group of Pazzi officers to the city of Venice and request that they be killed. It is of great importance. These officers are the finest of their class and plan to revitalize the Pazzi regime in Florence. They are recruiting in Venice to find strong, young men. Those men are no longer worthy to be called human. Find the officers and kill them all - including any recruits they've managed to pick up. I plan on providing you a huge sum of money in return - 10,000 florins."
A hefty price indeed. Guiseppe was thrilled to find such an extravagant mission. But he was also worried. What if the officers are specially trained and are more skilled then Guiseppe, a freshly new assassin that completed training just a month ago? Just then, a feeling of fellow flesh on his shoulder. He turned around to see...
(That's your Q!) | |

| Ezio was heading up to the pidgeon coop to accuire the letter Lorenzo had sent his father, He saw this joker looking guy holding his fathers letter. "this has got to be a templar in disqiuse i have never seen a more ridiculous person in my life.
Ezio touched this man on the shoulder and said...
" I have not seen you around here before, quite frankly i have not seen you around anywhere before, where do you come from, answer quickly for i have no time to waste"
Ezio wanted to teach this joker a lesson, yet he look like someone he has once met with his great uncle mario, that is what restrained him from striking this man. It also bugged Ezio that this man was at his and his fathers pidgeon coop. Which is clearly labeled on the top. he waited for a response.

| Guiseppe, being the shy man he was when it came to others, replied, "If you came here to kill me it's a big mistake. We're both assassins here so there's no need for friction. Although I've never met you before, I'm guessing you have notable notoriety in Italy seeing how your father is now the leader of the Assassin Order." Guiseppe said the last line particularly harsh. | |

| Airiana was free running on the roofs. Her father didn’t need her and she was finished her work. She jumped not seeing the two men and crashed into one “oh I’m so sorry” she said quickly, “not many people came on the roofs” | |

| "No worries," Guiseppe said as he helped Airiana up. "I was just making a new friend. Isn't that right, junior?" He looked at Ezio II with a cold stare. "It looks like my mask isn't needed here." He pulled off his mask to reveal a scarred face: a slash to the left eye, turned the pupil to smog and blinding him in that eye, a burn on the right side of his jaw too from a fire in Tuscany. He took off his hat too. It jingling as he lowered it to the ground. "May I ask what you are here for?" | |

| She stared at the man but responded “free running only way I can have some fun without working... my name is Airiana by the way” she smiled and giggled at the last part, “what are you doing here?” she looked at him more closely and at the other man wondering who they are. | |

| Guiseppe answered "My name is Guiseppe Ricci. I've just come back from a 5 month training session in Milano. I'm here to accept a mission from my friend Lorenzo de' Medici. It is of great importance. What I'm wondering is why he is here." He stared at Ezio II who watched him silently. | |

| “Sounds important... it’s better to go in groups maybe you should take the guy and me” Airiana said hopefully wanting something to do, free running was fun but going on a mission was better. Airiana held her axe trying to look like a good partner. | |

| "First of all let's get one thing straight:" Guiseppe said in a light and cheerful voice sided with a chuckle then turned to a harsh tone and pulled his twin daggers out with lightning-quick speed. "I work alone. If a higher power sees to it that I'm assigned a partner, so be it." Guiseppe then gently pointed one dagger in Airiana's direction almost a foot away from her face. He smiled gently. "But today I'll make an exception. ONE exception. You're lucky I've decided to share the reward with you. As for him, he gets the money as well. Credit to the Auditore family once again..." Ezio II continued to stand silently, not saying a word since Guiseppe's response to his question. | |

| Airiana didn’t flinch she would have just followed him if he said no “ok... do you need anything..... bullets or armour maybe a new weapon” she asked. Airiana knew there was amour in the shop and some weapons she just had to take it out without her father seeing her | |

| Guiseppe pondered for a while. His blades were becoming rusted and dulled. He was also barred from ranged attacks excluding throwing knives. "I guess I could use some upgrades. Pistols, daggers and whatnot." He said with a chuckle. "By any chance does your armorer repair weapons as well?" Guiseppe was attached to his twin daggers, mind, body and soul. They were all that remained of his mother's life. She was killed along with his father in Forli. Slaughtered. She kept them in the kitchen in Guiseppe's house there and used them frequently when preparing meals when he was young. Keeping the daggers sharp was important to him. | |

| Airiana smiled “yes I can... come with me and be quiet or you’ll have to pay for it” she said just before jumping into a haystack and quickly getting out “come on!” Airiana yelled, “The shop isn’t that far” | |

| Ezio was playing the silent game he was still trying to read this Guiseppe flabber guy, Ezio soon realized he has met the brother of this strange man. He also noticed the strikingly beautiful Airiana and how graceful she moved. This reminded ezio of the troubles and arguments him and Maria have been having and the talk of them spliting up.
"Well, since that letter was intended for my father but you seem to want it, you may have it, please just tell me what the letter has enclosed in it meant for me and my father" boasted Ezio
"Also, if i see you kill on innocent person, or harrass any innocent person, i will not end you life, i will not contribute to your scars. but i WILL garuntee you will have another hole to breath out of, eaither that or throw you in the river from the Citadel roof onto a fishermans boat, depending on my mood"
Ezio chuckles and realized he has a tear in his robe and a scratch on his hidden blade, which none of these "roof dwelers" have noticed yet, Leonardo has done a good job on concealing it, perhaps ill take this joker to the villa and introduce him to Leonardo.
Ezio shouts to Airiana
" i can pay for my own! i dont like new people paying for my stuff! if anything i should pay for you!" | |

| Guiseppe finally got a response from him, but a threatening one. He decided to go ahead and play his game. "This letter is from Lorenzo de' Medici. He wants some Pazzi officers dead along with any recruits they may have picked up. It's a big payout so I'm guessing the Auditores would have an interest..." He then noticed that his weapons needed repair and raced after Airiana. Before he left Guiseppe turned and scoffed, "Catch me if you can." | |

| The clown has very good running game, it had taken ezio a while to catch up, him and the clown seem to be pretty equal in running skills, but this is mainly what ezio had trained for... Speed! he was begging to pull ahead, and looked up, "Ahhhhgggg!!" Ezio yelled he was blinded by the bright sun of venice, the water did not make it any easier, blinded he ran into a guard who was patrolling, the guard shoved ezio againt a wall, totally disreguarding his fathers cape. Ezio sliced the guards' throat in one fluent motion, 4 more guards arrived, ezio had not been in combat in a while, thus he has not brought his sword. "HEY CLOWN!" ezio shouted, "Help Please!" Ezio could handle these guards alone but not without a few scratches, thus he is not made from pure assasin. he also wants to test Giuseppes' fighting skills, and ezio has popped his shoulder from its socket, from the collision. "Airiana, we will meet you at the shop, please do not interfere with this" Ezio did not expet the lady to listen, after all, she seems pretty independent. Ezio figured that the lady would understand his methods of discovering people. | |

| Airiana looked at the sun, this could be a problem Airiana thought “Ok!” Airiana shouted just be for she ran up onto the roofs but looked down and saw a stone, grabbing it and threw it at a guard hitting him in the head “I couldn’t help it!” Airiana giggled and ran towards her father’s shop

"Thank you, fair maiden!" Ezio Shouted

| (I’ll keep posting it’s boring to wait and watch) “stop you shouldn’t to be up here!” an archer yelled at her. “cazzo” Airiana mumbled to herself. A aroow shot past nearly missing her head, she ran up to the archer and swon her axe into the archers side. She bent down closeing his eyes and then looking thrugh his money powch.... 5f and a smok boom. Turning back to Ezio and Guiseppe “you are welcome” Airiana waved and sat down.

| "Very nice." Guiseppe said in slight awe. Clearly this was sidetracking and quickly turning into a game of skill. Once important moral for Guiseppe was "never sidetrack." Knowing this, Guiseppe took a quick look at the sun and (quite quickly) determined the time of day: 4:30. It was getting late. They had to get to the shop or they'll have to wait until tomorrow given the fact that the mission was to be done that same day. "We can't waste time here. We've drawn too much attention to ourselves. Let's get going." He turned and motioned for the others to follow in turn. | |

| "It was your offer before. I think we may have already accepted." And with that, Guiseppe threw a small wink in Airiana's direction. The first wink he had given before his parents died. | |

| (Fiorenzo will be in this post her brother) Airiana looked away a little flattered. These two men were very interesting “There’s the shop” Airiana said pointing to the small store with her family’s last name on sign. Her brother was there looking after the shop “Ciao brother!” Airiana gigled, “we need to repare and get whatever is left.” Fiorenzo smiled and looked in the back where her works would be. “here it’s the only things that won’t be missed” Fiorenzo said. There was Two high grade armor and a pistol with a cuople of bolits in it and three daggers... not allot “where is the wepen that needs to be repared” Airiana asked Guiseppe

| Guiseppe took out his twin daggers and set them on the table, silently and staring attentively at Fiorenzo. Guiseppe thought he had seen him somewhere. "Just be careful with them." With that, Guiseppe turned to Ezio. "Don't you have something you needed repaired too?" | |

| "yes i do, please be very delicate with them" with that ezio handed over His fathers outer-robe and now looked like this Ezio resembled his father alot, somehow even the scar on his lip was passed down thru genetics, Ezio then unlatched his hidden blades and handed them to the shopkeeper. "please take great care of these, i thank you for reparing them, i mean no disprespect but if you break them, i will break every finger on your right hand, thank you again" Ezio handed the shopkeeper 2,000 Florins for a tip. ezio turned and said "Lead the way" ezio waved his hand in a circle in a manner like he was going to bow but didnt. Ezio Then winked at airianna, the wink was a little awkward given the scar on his right eye. "Thank you, Airianna, i greatly appreciate it, i now know where i will go to get repairs and restocking while im in venice. | |

| Airiana smiled at Ezio “I’ll take these and you work on that ok” Airiana said turning back to Fiorenzo. Airiana grabbed the daggers and hidden blade, giving Fiorenzo the outer-robe “you two can take whatever you want from the pile ok” Airiana said walking into the store.
