Fight Night: Shanksgiving Edition
This Thanksgiving weekend, the quiet swamps of Laveau will once again echo with the sound of steel and screams. The Bayou Brawls: Shanksgiving Edition erupts at high noon on Saturday, November 29th.
Port Laveau logged a measured Tuesday — twenty-six recorded movements across the parish, most clustering near Laveau proper and the Bastille stretch. Eight souls stirred with purpose. Violence sat at a simmer, not a boil. Experienced residents know that kind of quiet. It precedes something.
By midnight, the Serpent's Den was anything but quiet. Sources who will not be named — and who value their remaining teeth — describe a brutal confrontation between two factions of enforcers inside the establishment's back corridor. Loyalties, it seems, have fractured along lines drawn in blood and old promises. Witnesses report one man carried out, another unaccounted for. Cryptic markings, similar to those found near the Starlust Motel last week, were reportedly scratched into the rear doorframe by morning. No one claims responsibility. The bayou fog rolled unusually thick off the water that same night.
Sheriff's Office has classified the incident as a private dispute, closed and resolved. Anyone circulating alternative accounts is advised to reconsider their memory. Port Laveau rewards discretion.
