It's been said before-- often by the young man himself-- that Ezio Auditore is one of the fastest climbers in all of Firenze. Even before his training as an Assassin, the great city's numerous towers and cathedrals posed little challenge to him, and he grew up knowing Firenze's rooftops nearly as well as it's streets. It's hard for him to even imagine a structure that he could not climb.
Then again, Ezio Auditore has also never encountered the likes of a ferris wheel before.
When traveling somewhere new, it's second nature for him to seek out the highest vantage point that he can in order to get a better idea of the lay of the land. The massive circular structure is easily one of the tallest things here, and thus had immediately drawn his attention. Standing at the base of it, though, all he can do is boggle at it. Such a gigantic object maintaining motion like that... it turns and turns, as wheels tend to do, but this one seems to be doing that without the likes of water or wind to power it. If only Leonardo were here to see this; he'd likely wet himself with excitement.
"So... It is for entertainment, then?" the assassin asks the nearest person, bemused.
Alternatively, a few minutes later, you may find yourself actually on the ride in the same car as this hooded weirdo. He's a bit restless once the thing starts moving, but otherwise he's basically silent up until the compartment reaches the highest point on the wheel. When the ride pauses for a bit to allow the patrons to enjoy the view, he stirs.
"Bene. This should be high enough..."
Annnnd now the hooded weirdo is trying to climb out of the compartment and up onto the roof of it.
B. Trying to Leaf (Coco Strikes Back)
"Cazzo!"
That's the sound an Italian Assassin makes when he very narrowly avoids being crushed by the vicious blows of a gigantic murderous palm tree.
Ezio had tired of the otherworldly charms of the carnival in due time, and had thought to make his exit from this place back through the woods. As it turns out, this was the worst possible route he could have taken, unaware as he was that he would be treading right through the lair of the infamous Coco. A deft dodge-roll had taken him out of the path of a full-force wood hammer attack from the exeggutor (the impact of which blows dirt and moss and twigs up into the air from a crater centered exactly where he was standing just moments before), and at first he assumes he just evaded a regular old falling tree.
It's when the Pokemon lifts it's head-- or several heads, as it were, numerous sets of eyes all glittering with malice-- that Ezio realizes that there is something much more sinister afoot here.
"What kind of devilry is this!?" he exclaims incredulously, exasperatedly, to no one in particular. Like, that sure is a gigantic walking tree with multiple faces!! And-- is he seeing things? Is that a tail? He's had more than he can take of this bizarre fever dream of a carnival. He draws the blade at his hip and takes up a combat stance, ready to attack.
If someone could stop him before he tries to skewer the Ringmaster's pet, that would be real nice.
