[ Ezio had woken up in some strange places in his lifetime, especially once he became an assassin. But this, this was way different than waking up in, say, a random woman's bed or a bale of hay. The smell was awful, the sheer white of the room blinding as he sat up. He was greeted by a woman, welcoming him to some unfamiliar city -- ]

Aliunde? [ ( Read more... )

[Ezio has been growing restless. Finally over the cold he had been getting, he has opted to spend the day anywhere but indoors. It's like being caged, sometimes, being within Aliunde, and yet being indoors all day while here is even worse. After years, decades, of running, climbing, jumping, battling, killing and fighting, barely surviving, and ( Read more... )

[The message comes some hours after Kate's post about Helen leaving, but that isn't because Ezio thinks it's unimportant, it's because he's been wondering how to word it. At first he considered a text message, but instead it's a voice post.]

Will. [He pauses.]You are taking over in Helen's place, so we need to discuss things. We have to speak ( Read more... )

[ Ezio and Desmond stand together, in the Hideout, with the Assassin symbol on the wall behind them. He casts a glance towards his desk, where the Apple of Eden is hidden, then nods once to his descendant. ]

Buongiorno, Assassini. Desmond and I have things we must speak with you all about. Tasks to assign. [ He looks to Desmond. He can recount ( Read more... )

[Ezio has time, finally, to make this message. He's not sure how many people met his mother here, but he is sure some people at least need to know she's gone. So, he is stood alone, in the dim lighting of the Assassin's Hideout, though only the plain wall can be seen behind him. His hood is up, and he doesn't try to show much emotion on his face.] ( Read more... )

[The ceremony last weekend took up most, if not all, of the time the Assassins would have spent trying to train together and getting to know each other more and more. So, this weekend, Ezio has given them all the night off on training, but they can still practice if they want. Inside the Hideout, Ezio at least had dinner made for his Assassini and ( Read more... )

[Ezio has been concerned, of late, over Desmond's words last they spoke in depth. He worries for the people he is beginning to care about here, and yet there is something in him that still wants to get close to people. He cannot live alone, no matter how he tries to, because people touch his life in ways he cannot avoid, in ways he could not ( Read more... )

[Despite how he wished Sofia was with him, Ezio knew that there was little point in spending the day alone. He wasn't the type to sit and wallow when he could pick himself up and get on with things, so he had decided he would have not one date today but two. The day would we spent with Kaylee, and the evening with Helen, and it amused him horribly ( Read more... )

[The video comes on suddenly to Ezio, shirtless after being in bed, a hand covering his eyes as he groans, pressing his thumb and index finger into his closed eyes for a long moment, blinking slowly and squinting at the screen, feeling like it's too bright for him to see anything clearly for now. The Master Assassin's Eagle Sense has returned to ( Read more... )

[His gaze is saddened but, thankfully, it is hidden under his hood. He knows Sofia is safer at home but they had talked about escaping everything in their world and somehow surviving in this world, and even if it was ridiculous, the idea of setting up a new life with her anywhere sounded perfect. It was why he had proposed ( Read more... )
