Bonding With Brother

He shook the plastic bag loudly swinging it back in forth. "I brought goodies."

"I picked up two reds, two yellows and two blues. One of each in a cool tone and the other in a warm tone." her expression seemed impressed. "See I listen sometimes. That and I asked the women at the store." he confessed. The room filled with their joined laughter.

"Who knew paint could be so expensive! I had to sell an arm and a leg for these."

"Ha, too bad you didnt sell your tongue."

"You'd die of boredom without me." he promised

Our Last Moments

She woke up her dreams were clear. The images in her head were beautiful. Today she wanted to draw one of them.

She closed her eyes and visualized the picture in her mind so clearly. Then she opened her eyes and everything was a blur. Still she placed her first stroke on the canvas.

He watched as she stare outside their window her eyes looking out into the blur of the world she could see. He set down a cup of tea in front of her. "Aria." He said softly as her eyes traveled back into the room. "What did the doctor say?"

She made eye contact with him then gave a sad smile. "It's getting much worse." Her fingers wrapped around the cup before her. "You shouldn't worry so much Cain." She lifted the cup to her lips.

He couldn't help but laugh. "What kind of brother would I be, if I didn't worry?"

"I told you before. I want you to stop." She snapped back setting the cup down with a light thud.

"And I want my sister to see the beauty of this world. Too bad only one of us is going to get what we want." His Face was teasing but to rub it in even more he leaned closer. "I can be pretty stubborn too."

"Please.."

"Calm down. I already have more than enough money for the surgery. The issue is the best doctors are outside of [town name]. Which means we'll need a even larger sum of money to get you out."

"How large?"

"Ten thousand."

"What!? How do you plan to get Ten Thousand dollars!?"

"Don't worry about is Sis." He ruffled her hair. "Just let me handle it." She brushed his hand away and began to fix the mess he had made. He chuckled softly  feeling the irritation steaming off of her. "Don’t worry, it still looks cute." he ruffled it again.

"Cain!" she protested loudly.

Again the room filled with his laughter. "I'm going out for a bit. I'll be home late so eat without me." he ruffled her hair once more. "I'll see you soon."

"See you soon." She replied with her wild hair.

To Never Meet Again

In the morning she was awoken to loud bangs on the front door. It made her heart race as she peaked out through the small hole on the door. It appeared to be a handsome young man in a suit. "Ma'am Open up. We need to speak with you." She pulled open the door slowly.

"Yes?"

"My name is Cody Balfour, I'm with the Ergastulum Police Department." He fumbled as he pulled out his badge. "May I come in?"

She looked out at the object in his hand for a moment. He seemed harmless enough. So she stepped aside. "What's this about?"

"Would you like to have a seat?" He gestured as if somehow he owned the place. "I'm afraid I have some bad news."

She didn't hear anything else he said. He showed her pictures and asked for her to ID her brothers body. It might of been a blessing she couldn't see she his mangled corpse.

It would seem in order to make more money her brother had started to associate with the wrong crowd. Because of her, he was dead. Now there was only one thing left for her to do.

Lower To Revenge 

Aria found herself sending outside a rather popular establishment. As she stepped in her nose filled with various perfumes. Music was playing but the sounds of heels dancing across the floor was still apparent. Not so subtle flirting and giggles of women could also be heard. Finally a women in heels and red lingerie approached her.

“I take it you’re not a customer.” She gave her a comforting smiled. “Is there something I can assist you with today?”

“Can I...” The words hardly left her lips.

“Hmm? You’ll need to speak a little louder.”

“May I speak to Big Mama?”

“Oh? You want to start working here?” The prostitute looked her over but felt there was no competition. “You’re not very curvy, but you’ve got a nice face.”

“That’s not it, exactly…” Aria was taken up to a room upstairs already filled with smoke. She waited until the women joined her. 

“So what’s this about? I am a busy women.” Georgina said with a slight smirk on her painted lips.  After taking a small puff her her spoke she spoke again. “Is this about your brother? You’ve always been to good to work for me.” She said in a sour tone. “Why should I hire you now that he's gone and you need money? Knocked off your high horse.” The smirk returned.

“You are harsh as always, Big Mama.” Aria’s eyes filled with tears. Georgina blew smoke into her face. “I want revenge.” The anger in her words fought back the tears. “I need your help. I want to make contact with Mr. Corsica.”

At these words Georgina let out a mocking laugh. “Oh. Please child, you are wasting my time. Get. Out.”

“Can you at least hear what I propose?”

“OUT!”

Bullets and Barrels

Aria found herself standing outside another popular establishment. It was more of a hole in the wall. Still everyone knew of the little Gun Shop. It had a faded red awning and green door trim. There was a couple scattered bullet holes in the white paneling. One window seemed to be shattered. Maybe now was not a good time to visit. Then there was movement from inside the store.

“Are you coming in or not?” A friendly female voice teased.

It was the invitation that gave her the courage to enter. "I need a handgun and a box of bullets." She stated clearly with no hesitation in her request. The short haired women at the counter only stared at her quietly. "This is the gun shop isn't it?"

"It is but..."

"Look, I have cash." She set down a decent roll of money. "Five hundred."

Connie took the money and began to count it. "Is this for protection?" She asked looking up and making eye contact.

"Yes..." Aria lied.

"If protection is really what need then, I'd suggest hiring the handyman to eliminate the problem." She set the money back down on the counter.

"Do you sell guns or not?" Aria snapped in annoyance. Since when has buying a gun in Ergastulum become this complicated?

Connie let out a small sign and disappeared into the back room.  When she returned she placed a small handgun and a box of bullets on the counter. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked picking up the money, already knowing the answer.

"Does this interrogation cost extra?"

Connie frowned at that remark. "You're just not my everyday customer base. You can't blame me for being a little worri-... curious. I don’t want to see a girl like you make any rash decisions.”

There was an awkward silence while Aria processed Connie’s words. Worried? Rash decisions? Oh god. She let out a small laugh. “Oh I don’t plan to off myself or anything like that.” Her words were genuine and that seemed to reassure the seller.  “You see, my roommate... departed from Ergastulum recently. So I've been feeling a little unsafe at home."

“Well that’s a relief, you had me worried there for a moment.” Connie smiled widely. “Then that means you’re Aria Dwight, aren't you?”

“Oh.” Aria was a little surprised. It seems word spreads across the city faster then she expected. Then again she shouldn’t of been too surprised. Knowing the latest gossip was half the entertainment of living in this shit town.

“I’m Constance Raveau, but you can call me Connie.” She held out her hand. “Let’s be friends, okay?” They shook hands. “Let me know if there is anything else you need help with.”

Aria picked up the gun and held it awkwardly in her hand. “Wanna teach me how to use this thing?” This got a hysterical laugh to escape Connie’s lips.

“Sure!”

“And, there’s one other thing.”

Place into practice. 

“Is your house always this dark?” Connie asked as she nearly tripped over something on the floor. “Is the person you want to kill me?” She laughed. “Because this just might work.”

“It’s not like I can see much anyway.” Aria teased.

Connie crossed her arms and frowned. “Well, you can’t see anything with the lights off!” She insisted. “Where’s the light switch?” She reached out aimlessly.

“Alright, alright. Stop nagging mom.” Aria said flicking on a light switch.

A light blush crossed Connies face. “I- I’m still too young to be a mom.”

[ Written Scenes ] 

Aria has very poor vision. Danial Monroe ended up paying for her eye surgery in exchange for her working at his estate. Aria has a distrust for Twlight’s but with Yang’s encouragement she slowly comes to trust Delico. 

Trivia: 

Ivan and Cain (Aria’s brother.) planed to assassinate Danny Monroe. They were hired to do so by Corsica. Really Ivan and Corsica planned to have Ivan kill Cain and make it seem liked he saved Danny so he could join the Monroe family. ( It worked.) 

Aria believes that Ivan killed her brother (or at least that hes responsible for his death.) She finds him and attempts to shoot him. Quickly she is disabled by Delico. 

Danny is impressed by Aria’s balls and invites her to move into their estate as a maid. (Aria would later reveal to Danny that she think’s Ivan is a spy for Corsica.)
