The Family - Positions Available! - Rated M

[Skunk_Giant]

Added Car C and D to the Market. There are more, but nobody's getting that kind of money for a while.

[random980]

Also, I'm updating the OP with stuff about characters, so keep an eye open.

am i allowed to have those small changes to my character that i suggested?
and

and i choose: b) Go back to Fred, tell him you were stopped by a cop.
luigi is an honest man, as long as it doesnt get him in trouble.

And with the market can you add melee weapons like spiked/brass knuckles and types of knives? also adding 'more ammo' to the market might be a good idea to.

[Skunk_Giant]

I was thinking of adding more ammo, but I'm not sure yet. As for melee weapons, I can't believe I didn't think of that!

As for those changes, I'll add them in a sec, for got about them.

By the way, if you do wanna buy anything from the marketplace, PM me or post here, up to you, and I'll write it in.

[Skunk_Giant]

"Alright, I've got some other guys in the family to help you out. Head on over there, if the bastard doesn't have the money or the good stuff, he's out, got it?"
"Got it." Christian spoke into his phone.
"Oh, and Christian?"
"Yeah?"
"Remember, these guys are made men, they're apart of the family, you're not. That means they tell you what to do, and they're allowed to knock you off if you don't please 'em."
"Yeah, yeah." Christian ended the call and got into his car. Has he started the engine, his phone buzzed. He let it ring until the call ended and he checked his voice messages, playing them on his car's speakers.
"Hey, it's Daniels. Where the hell are you? I didn't find anything on my side, but I've been looking for you for a while now. Call me ASAP."
Christian turned the phone off.

"You lost the drugs?" Fred had fear in his eyes. "FUCK! You know how much shit I'm gonna be in for this? It was a simple job, how the hell did you mess it up?"
"Some cop decided to randomly stop cars, how the hell was I meant to know?" Luigi yelled back.
"Shit... That asshole probably set it up..."
"What asshole? If you want any more help with this, I want some info about what I'm dealing with."
Fred sighed. "Alright, you ever heard of the Nicolani family?"
"I might have heard the name... Don't know too much about 'em."
"The Nicolani's are one of the four major mafia families in Pandora, the other three being Turner, Vincarto and Lombardi. One of Nicolani's men, a guy called Angelo, helped me out with some finance issues. 'course, now I gotta pay him back. Now, I don't have the money, but I've got some of the stuff he's addicted to, so I told him I'd get this stuff to him. If he doesn't receive it soon, he's gonna be on my ass like a fly on horse shit!"
"Woah, calm down, I'm sure thi-"
A knock at the door cut Luigi off.
"Oh shit, Luigi! They're here!" Fred rushed into his bedroom and threw a shotgun at Luigi. "Get behind somethin', quick!"
Luigi did as he was told and hid behind Fred's bedroom wall.
Another knock at the door. The two stayed silent. The door was kicked open.
"C'mon asshole, we know you're in here!" A familiar voice sounded out. Luigi was sure he had heard it before.
"Don't make us play hide and seek. You got the money, or what?" This next voice was unfamiliar. Luigi looked to Fred silently who simply kept his gun ready.
"Alright, I guess we'll have to play your game."
Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire echoed throughout the house. Footsteps came towards the bedroom. Fred turned the corner and let a burst of bullets out at the face of one man, quickly hiding behind cover.
"Shoot the damn thing Luigi, don't just stand there!" He screamed.
Luigi turned a corner and let out a shot as well as bullets sprayed by him. As he shot, he took a quick observation of their attackers.
It was him! The cop, he was here!

Christian burst the door open armed with a simple standard pistol, the rest of the guys armed with machine guns.
When shots began coming back at them, he leaped behind a desk.
About two minutes into the firefight, a voice rung over the gunfire. It was the guy in the car, Luigi!
"You asshole, what the fuck happened to leaving this be? What kind of a fucking cop are you, taking drugs from me and then firing at me after I've co-operated?"
The made men he was firing with turned to Christian.
"What the fuck's this? You took the drugs?"
A car engine began and the men turned to see two men hopping into a car out the back.
"Shit!" One yelled. Christian took this chance. He didn't wanna betray them, but these guys were assholes anyway, and they knew about the con-job he'd done.
Christian let a few bullets into the back of their skulls and rushed out to his car. Luigi was the only person now that knew the truth, he couldn't let him get away.

[Skunk_Giant]

PART TWO

"Daniels, it's Christian!" He yelled into his car's mic.
"Christian, Jesus, I thought that druggie you were talking about had gotten you!"
"Close! Turns out the asshole had more, so I followed him back to his house. I was met with some crazy guys in suits, armed pretty well! I think we've got some mafia involvement in this! I managed to take out most of them, but the asshole and one other guy got away. I need you to call in police help, I'm on Lone street, about one hundred metres behind them. Get the traffic off the road and bring in some backup!"

Christian sped up, he was about twenty metres behind them now. He rolled down his window. "Stop, this is the police! Stop the engine and step out of the car!"
From the passenger seat, the other guy who was with Luigi held a shotgun out of the window. "Jesus Christ!" Christian ducked down as a blast smacked into his wind shield. "SHIT!"
Suddenly, police sirens rang out behind him. "Thank God..."
Two police cars rolled up next to him, their passengers leaning out the window aiming for the wheels of Lugi's car.

"Damn it Luigi, drive faster, we've got cops right on our ass!"
"I'm going as fast as I can! Just keep firing!"
Fred leaned out the window again, firing at one of the police cars. The driver fell dead on the wheel and the car spun into a building nearby.
Finally, after a few minutes of being chased, they lost the cops. "Jesus Christ, Fred... We gotta pay that asshole back..."

Random

a) Go find a quick legal one-off job.

b) Go find a quick illegal one-of job. It pays better, but it's more dangerous.

"Damn it!" Christian screamed as he dialled his partner's number. "Daniels, the bastard got away. He took down a cop, he's armed and dangerous. I dunno about his friend, but his name is Luigi Lamborghini. I want every cop in Pandora looking for him.

Blackadder -

a) Search the city. You've got to find Luigi and take him down.

b) Call up your criminal contacts, get their help.

c) Ask people around the city if they've seen him.

[Blackadder51]

Cant I call my contacts whilst im driving, if i have to i will pay for info but i think i can talk my through this?

I also want a helicopter from the cops, I just had a shoot out in a car and he killed a cop in america! Im surprised the army isn't after him!, if i can pull it im going to find this bastard.

If i cant talk and drive then its A)

[Skunk_Giant]

Hmm... I suppose you can talk and drive since you have the speakers in your car...

Also, the little plot thing I'm using for this is that since Pandora is so far away from other areas in America and is only just becoming a big city, there isn't much... supervision on that. A helicopter will probably come in when more deaths begin.

[Skunk_Giant]

Oh, and I'll be busy the rest of the night... Expect some more tomorrow.

[Blackadder51]

Ah ok, sorry i don't want to break your game :/

Ill stop questioning stuff.

[Skunk_Giant]

lol, no problem, but I can't make it 100% realistic, as every player would be locked up within minutes.

[random980]

Kind of disappointed i didnt get an option to leg it during the gun-fight and leave Fred behind. I dont care about his problems and i certainly dont want to put myself in danger for this dickhead. Luigi tries to be avoid pissing of the cops if given a chance. Also you didnt really explain there were other goons at Freds place. Otherwise good story!
Also i dont really want my character to have mafia ties until he has a bit more of a 'reputation'. One being that he has done several 'illegal' things but there isnt a big enough case or proof that he has done something illegal. I always saw my character as more of a person who always manages to weasel out of bad situations no matter if its crime or the law involved. (as i stated before he is a character with his own motives)
OK getting past all that.
a) Go find a quick legal one-off job.
Im already in the crapper why put myself in more danger?
OR can i choose option c) hide without Fred until shit cools down? after all theyre mainly after Fred, not Luigi.

[KaosuHamoni]

Sorry for the wait, I was, y'know, at school.

A. I'd like to take 4 guys with automatic weapons, and scare them into giving the stuff back, plus some consolation money.

Well, I never said you have to give Fred the money you earn. You can go earn it and never speak to Fred again.

Like I was saying to Black earlier, this is more... your decision than Z-Apocalypse, so I'm hoping you guys will PM me with things you wanna do like I mentioned yesterday.

[Skunk_Giant]

Lucia arrived at the Central park. There weren't too many people around, strangely. Another car pulled up behind her and four suited men stepped out, one smelling of booze.
"Alright, ready?"
"Ready. Anything for you, Angel." The booze man said with a grin.
"Shut it, Leo."
Leo gave a frown in return and got into his car.

They arrived quickly at an old run-down looking neighbourhood. This was the 'Cheetahs' turf. Lucia turned to the other four.
"On 3. One..."
Leo rushed in, smacking the door down and spraying his gun everywhere. "Shit, Leo!"
"Don't worry about it Angel, the assholes ain't waiting for 3 to fire back!"
Lucia and the other three joined Leo and fired on the Cheetahs.
"Alright, move up!" Lucia ordered, and they all moved in through the building and up a set of metal stairs. Leo was at the front, and he suddenly fell back, flaming. "Jesus Christ! What the fuck is that?"
In his panic, Leo stepped back over the railing, falling to his death. "Damn it!" Lucia yelled, reloading her pistol.
The three remaining men moved up with their machine guns, spraying the building, including the asshole throwing molotov cocktails.
Finally, they reached the top. There was about 10 people left, but they quickly surrendered, putting their guns down and their hands up. The man who seemed to be the head of the gang stood forward.
"Where's your money?" Lucia asked, her pistol to the man's head.

It was job well done. (+$700)

As the four were leaving, a shot flew past Lucia. She quickly turned to see the gang's head, standing there, pistol in hand. Lucia stepped up to him, her pistol loaded, and put it against his head.

a) Shoot him. The bastard deserves it.
b) Rough him up a bit and leave him be.

[KaosuHamoni]

B. Shoot him in the leg and beat him to a pulp. With some martial arts skill, o'course.

[Skunk_Giant]

Everyone else, I'll be writing about you soon.

Also, I added a 'Jobs' section for some extra cash.

[Skunk_Giant]

Spiked Knuckles added. I'm gonna try and get something in tonight...

[Skunk_Giant]

Elias tried to act normal as he made his way down the street, but it seemed as though everyone was staring at him. It was like they knew what he'd done. Finally, one man approached him.
"Kindig?" The man asked.
"Er, yeah, why?"
"I saw what you did back there... What you did to Talbeno." Elias swore under his breath. An undercover cop, shit! "I have an offer for you." The man continued. Could he be a corrupt undercover cop? Maybe a bribe would help... "Mr Kindig, I'm looking for someone with... your sort of skills. You've got some class... Might need to work on the melee and hand to hand stuff, but hey, class is the most important thing."
"I'm sorry, who are you?" Elias asked, curious. The man looked well off, he had a suit, an expensive looking watch... What would he want with someone like Elias?
"The name's Joe Barmanie. We can't discuss it out here in the open, it's not safe, but I have money and opportunities for you Elias. Why don't we go for a drive?" Joe suggested, opening the door to a nice looking convertible.

MKindy

a) Get in the car with him, he could have money...
b) Don't go, this could be dangerous. Remember what your Mum always said about strangers and cars?

[aflycon]

(I reached the end of Chapter 14, and the game refuses to load the final chapter)

I had this same problem for a bit, let your console sit for about a week and try again. And trust me, you're not missing much with the final chapter. Although the game had a good ending, the last bit is terribly hard and you might cry at the end. :3 No spoilers though.

Would you like me to join up here?

[Skunk_Giant]

Never mind, I got to it a few days ago. Last chapter was surprisingly short, but effective. The music at the end fit it perfectly.

And yes, the more players, the better! : D

[Skunk_Giant]

*cough* Kindy...

"I'm sorry asshole, I thought you might have gotten the message." Lucia said, holding the gun to the kneeling man's head. Lombardi's other three men came up behind her. "Back off guys, I've got this asshole."
"Please... please don't kill me..."
Lucia kicked her foot up, knocking his chin back. The man fell to the floor, his mouth a red mess. She let a shot out in his leg, and picked him up by the shirt. Lombardi's three men stood guard, making no more of the gang came out while Lucia was teaching this guy a lesson. She threw him against the wooden building, knocking his head back. Finally, Lucia pushed her gun back against his head, her finger on the trigger... She smacked him over the head, knocking him out.
"Burn it."
Lombardi's men set to work on burning down the building while Lucia watched.
Finally, she turned, putting her gun back. Sirens. Lombardi's three men began to make a break for it, attempting to climb over a back fence, but several police officers came around the back, guns in hand.
"Shit!" Lucia yelled as three cars came around the front, siren's blazing.
"We have you surrounded," a voice began over a megaphone, "drop your weapons!"
"I'm not going to jail, shoot these fuckers!" Yelled one of Lombardi's men. They opened fire, taking down the police officers at the back. The officers around the front fired back and took down one of Lombardi's men.
Lucia realised then, that she hadn't yet been seen. She was in the doorway of the burning building, the police didn't know she was there... She loaded her pistol.
To her right, orders from police officers who were pinned down by their cars. To her left, the yells of the two remaining men. Behind her, the screams of the Cheetahs, desperately trying to get out of the burning building.

Kaosu
a) Surrender to the cops, put your gun down.
b) Try to escape through the burning building. There's another exit the police may not have covered.
c) Wait for Lombardi's men to get taken out, then bribe the cops (choose amount).
d) Try to pass off as one of the escaping gang members.
e) Shoot the police officers. If you help Lombardi's men now, you could get out of here alive.

[Skunk_Giant]

"You know what? Fuck this. I'm not getting into this trouble because of you!" Luigi yelled at Fred.
"Kid, you don't seem to understand, you're just as big a target as I am. I might be the target of the mafia, but you're the target of the police. In this town though, I'm really not sure which is more powerful. Look, I'm gonna leave it up to you. I'll go find the money, and you can walk off right now. But if you leave now, then you'll be the one in trouble. If you help me get the money, I can get the mafia to make sure that the police forget about today. I know you've had a busy day, so don't worry about it for now, but I'll call you tomorrow, and we can sort some things out."
With that, Fred took off, leaving Luigi to decide what to do.
No matter what, he'd need money, that was for sure.
Luigi did some searching and found a well suited job for him. Mr Davids, an ex-corrupt cop was working with the mafia secretly, and had everything going for him until the cops caught up with him. In an effort to keep out of jail, he told them everything he knew, and now, it's catching up to him. Davids is worried that somebody could be coming for him any day now, and Luigi's just the man he needs. Paying just over one and a half thousand, Davids is just the main Luigi needs, so the job seemed good, but first, Luigi would need a weapon.
A quick stop by an underground weapons seller gave Luigi a pair of spiked knuckles. Now, he was ready...

[KaosuHamoni]

B. I'll go through the building, preferably with a fire extinguisher.

[MKindy]

MKindy

a) Get in the car with him, he could have money...

Sorry about the delay, not having the best time right now. But my choice is to get in the car with this man, see what happens.

GOD DAMMIT FRED, ok i want to keep in touch with this guy, ill help him get his stupid money, but if Fred doesnt sort this bullshit out and get the cops of our backs... he is a dead man!!(with a missing wallet )

[Skunk_Giant]

No problem at all MKindy.

[Skunk_Giant]

Will put something up soon, but just a quick question. Do you guys prefer the story so far being on the post, or having a link to download a PDF?

Will put something up soon, but just a quick question. Do you guys prefer the story so far being on the post, or having a link to download a PDF?

the story is fine being created post by post. but maybe after every chapter update the full story to the original post or maybe make whole chapters as downloadable files and add to it after each chapter.
Also with it being posted, you get to see other peoples comments/reactions

[Skunk_Giant]

Oh yeah, I'll still post it, but I mean in terms of the OP. Currently, I'm making a PDF for every chapter and putting it on the OP, but if you guys want, I can just do what I do with Z-Apocalypse and put the entire story in text on the OP. Also, I'll try and get a post up tonight.
