un: daozhang | The Piazza (backdated to the day after Macaluso's post)

The Honourable Xiao Xingchen
In Service of the Esteemed Macaluso Spina
Speaking Only Their Truth and Their Wisdom
Humbly Puts before the Piazza:

Don Macaluso's offer has been heard and otherwise dismissed, understandably so. Criticisms of his actions after the cowardly poisoning of his guests are, I think it is safe to say, warranted. And yet, where has his good cousin been amid all this? Has the Lady also no spine to at least speak up and condemn the actions of what appears to be a dissenting citizen? Has she also not looked beyond appearances to find the spark that drove him to such treachery? Did he act alone? Did someone with power drive him to it? Where is the justice? Where is the truth?

I urge these cousins to become better than they have been, not for their own face, but to help their guests. For we are guests! And yet we have been left to our own devices to search for our own cures while those with real power and influence sit by either silent or unwilling to move. Surely the great city of Taravast is better than this. Taravast certainly deserves better than this.

Someone must stand up and put an end to all this.

May All Good People Hear, May All Good People Know!
May Fortune Ever Favour Don Bonaccorso!
