______________________________________________________________________________________ Tomasso's favourite place is Rome. He was born and raised in an underground church in the middle of the city. He left the city, when he grew up, but there are still so many places an things that draw him back there from time to time. Like the beautiful architecture, the pizza, the ice cream, the orange trees...______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________Tom is a witty and cunning boy and has a great sense of humor. He loves to make people laugh and his favourite hobby is playing pranks on anyone he meets. His pranks are always good for a laugh, he'd never dare to hurt anyone with his jokes, since he is actually a very soft guy (when it comes to other people/viscets/etc), even though he tries to hide that, because he doesn't really like it if someone tries to take advantage of his niceness.
He's still no coward, though. He always acts tough, sometimes even accepting risky darings, just to prove that he's no wimp. He actually enjoys putting himself at risks, as long as nobody else could be harmed. He has a weak spot for haunted places, especially abandoned churches and sanatories, as well as catacombs and graveyards. He loves the adrenalin that pumps through his veins when he feels, hears or sees anything that could be a ghost or similar.
Tomasso is also very intelligent, he loves to learn new things, and loves to be around humans, especially ones with occupations like doctors, lawyers, priests/pastors (he finds exorcists more interesting though), scientists, professors, chefs ... just any person from whom he can learn something.______________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________________Tomasso did not know what life had in store for him when he entered the catacombs beneath an old church outside the city of rome. His childhood friend, another Viscet, has dared him to enter the dark tunnels and to steal a bone. And because Tom didn't like it when someone was calling him a coward, he took the challange.
Entering the place was not hard. Tom has always been good in sneaking and hiding, so he managed to get down the stone steps without much trouble. The hard thing was proceeding to walk. Tomasso loves to claim that he's dauntless and brave, but the eery catacombs actually gave him the creeps. He was sure that he heard voices, whispers in the dark, but he refused to go back to the daylight without his bone.
After a while he started to feel lost. It was pretty dark, only a small torch was illuminate the path, and it also got pretty cold. At least he was close to his target - a mass grave that has only currently been dug up by humans, which meant that he hadn't to dig after a bone himself. Grabbing a little skull, from a human baby probably, he felt cold air striking his feet and almost dropped the skull again. Then he heard snickering and pitapats on the rough stone floor. Something grabbed his tail and a surprised squeak, his own one, echoed from the stone walls.
Tomasso fled from the dark chambers as fast as he could, panting heavily when reaching the light of day again. At least he didn't drop the skull!
Little did he know that down the catacombs, there sat a rat, snickering and giggling about the Viscet who just got the fright of his life.______________________________________________________________________________________
