✦ black arcana

black arcana • • •
There is a dark sanctum in every sinful city to allow one to worship two deadly sins; Pride and Greed. When in Verona, look no further than the Black Arcana, an establishment designed to indulge. Arcana is a sensual experience for those requiring a night of thrill-seeking. However, hidden behind heavy velvet curtains is an oasis.

In the front beckons a mature impression of class, a club-like space decorated with plush leather, feathered greenery and the glitz of crystalline chandeliers; the air is heavy with scented smoke, conversations are shrewd and graced with sly laughter.

What comes next is an invitation from a man donning a porcelain bauta. Here is where the party begins.

Behind an oak door lies the gambling hall, but guests will not find any old and dull games room. Instead, the Black Arcana offers a specialised variety of games, puzzles to challenge and deceive. Few of the most intelligent or bold enter the Den of the Magician, the mysterious mastermind behind Arcana, and even fewer leave as victors.

Luca loved going to clubs for multiple reasons.

Call him a poser, but he ed hard with the discotheque, bass-heavy music that flowed through him in ways that punk couldn't.

He relished drinking in the hot 'n' heavy vibes from grinding up against some random guy or girl.

The atmosphere was always immaculate when everybody drank too much and cared only about having fun.

It was child's play- all these wallets flush with cold, hard cash, just ripe for the picking from stupid, inattentive drunks. He loved Black Arcana in particular. Why? Because only the wealthiest(or most desperate) attended.

Tonight had been especially fruitful, his pockets jangling with diamond-encrusted bangles, Rolex watches and the odd wallet or two. He was about ready to call it a night, but his lucky streak had left him feeling confident- perhaps overly so. His blood was thrumming in his veins, jittery with adrenaline, as he scoped out his final victim for the night.

Ah, there. A deep, loose pocket where a flash of deep brown leather called his name like a siren song.

Navigating through the throng, Luca slipped past the unsuspecting mark, his hand deftly dipping into their pocket to swipe the wallet in under two seconds. Just as he tucked the prize away and started toward the exit, a shout made him look back.

Oh.

An old man pointed at him with a quivering finger, shouting something in a language he didn't recognise- German? Swedish?- to a security guard. It attracted the attention of their immediate crowd, including his last victim, when the word "Borsaiolo!" rang out. Oh. Oh .

With no time to think, Luca locked eyes with the furious faces around him, their realisation dawning. Flashing a grin and shrugging, he winked and his heel, sprinting as fast as he could.
