I bet your mammina rubbed coal upon you, the day that you were born
You're just as toxic, ready to burn
But they aren't made of mattone or stone, they can't withstand
Tu bruciasti, bruciasti! The innocents!
You cursed vixen, you marked marauder!
Or is that just a Venetian Colombina? Oh, you faker, you actress.



The words are Italian but for a translation they are available on Google! I'm not going to be that easy on you ;)

Deimos blocks Aviya.

I bet your mammina rubbed coal upon you, the day that you were born - Smoky black color.
You're just as toxic, ready to burn
But they aren't made of mattone or stone, they can't withstand - Personality reference (she's cold, cruel)
Tu bruciasti, bruciasti! The innocents!
You cursed vixen, you marked marauder! - White markings. Vixen for gender reference.
Or is that just a Venetian Colombina? Oh, you faker, you actress. – Actress reference could be towards her magic (hypnotizing, controlling someone else’s actions)

Kipp chuckles and declares that Aviya is safe.

The Aurora Basin has used one of its four guesses.

Deimos blocks D'art.

I bet your mammina rubbed coal upon you, the day that you were born -- black points
You're just as toxic, ready to burn -- poison knowledge/magic
But they aren't made of mattone or stone, they can't withstand -- glass horns
Tu bruciasti, bruciasti! The innocents!
You cursed vixen, you marked marauder! -- false clue towards female gender
Or is that just a Venetian Colombina? Oh, you faker, you actress. -- but it's a mask! reference to Dottore Peste, the Plague Doctor mask.

Hector protects Mauja

I bet your mammina rubbed coal upon you, the day that you were born -- black spots
You're just as toxic, ready to burn
But they aren't made of mattone or stone, they can't withstand
Tu bruciasti, bruciasti! The innocents! -- this means something along the lines of burned down, and Mauja has been burned several times
You cursed vixen, you marked marauder!
Or is that just a Venetian Colombina? Oh, you faker, you actress. -- the above could be Irma, she is fairly evil and has a marking, "the faker" line would negate the "Venetian little dove" thing, meaning it could just as well be an owl

Kipp rolls his eyes and amusedly says that neither are sought.

The Dragon's Throat has used the first of their three clues.

The Aurora Basin has used the second of their four clues.

48 hours have passed for an Outcast target.

Confutatis was sought, for revenge over the attempt on Kipp's brother Archibald.


I bet your mammina rubbed coal upon you, the day that you were born

Confutatis' profile describes her coloring as such: Color: Dusty black. Coal is a dark color- black- and often gets on your hands and lingers when you touch it, thus the reference to dusty in her profile. Appearance reference.

You're just as toxic, ready to burn

'Dark x Water: Her saliva is highly toxic - when it gets into contact with flesh, it will corrupt and corrode, and prolonged contact with slough the skin off.' Magic reference.

But they aren't made of mattone or stone, they can't withstand

'They' is a reference to horses in general, as they are all susceptible to her magic. Brick and stone are both naturally fire/heat resistant, and prolonged contact sloughing the skin off in her magic description is where the 'withstand' comes into play, as it is a reference to time and exposure.

Tu bruciasti, bruciasti! The innocents!

'Abandoned by her mother after attempting to nurse: Confutatis' saliva burned her mother's teats. Alone and desperate and spurred by her wicked blood, she moved to the Gateway and attacked nursing mares and their babies for precious milk.' History reference, her magic burned the innocent mothers and harmed their children in order to survive.

You cursed vixen, you marked marauder!

Vixen is a gender reference, as Confutatis is a female. 'Markings: A skull-shaped blaze; many scars.' Marked by her skull blaze and the scar across her eye that renders her blind, an appearance reference. A marauder is someone who raids or pillages for a certain gain, which is a history reference for when she attacked the mothers for their milk.

Or is that just a Venetian Colombina? Oh, you faker, you actress.

A Venetian Colombina is a very famous half-mask used during the Carnevale di Venezia, or Carnival of Venice. It's a reference to her skull blaze once again. Actress is another gender reference.

I would pass this. The only clues I am iffy on are:
they aren't made of mattone or stone
and tu bruciasti

The "they" is far too broad to indicate a horse, it could be literally anything,
"bruciasti" throws a lot of really flammable results first, only putting "scorch" and "sting" at the end, so as someone who doesn't know Italian I feel like you picked a too severe word for what you were after.

However, the rest was great, so this is a pass from me!

I'm probably wrong, but was this posted when Wanderer was absent?

Wanderer herself made a stealth herself about 3 hours later, so I doubt it?

Definitely pass. I thought all the clues were very clever.

I'm trying to figure out the times for this but honestly can't be bothered x3

So, anyways Brit, if you want to send me a PM with IC how it happens that would be awesome! I'm currently on Absent but in a week or so I'll be back and be able to make a thread or reply to it!
