[random980]

Also, the men in the bar were killed.

I thought blackadder escaped and the men were after him...
i really need to re-read the whole story.
...or maybe a quick summary at the end of each chapter would help
i r to lazy to go back and re-read everything

[Skunk_Giant]

OH CRAP! I forgot to do the 'last time'. I'll do that next time Random.

[Skunk_Giant]

Last time on The Family...
The city of Pandora is growing more dangerous by the moment. All major families have tricks up their sleeves, and our main characters have their own ideas. Christian, a corrupt cop working with Nicolani managed to pull of a con. After being hired by one of Nicolani's men to rough up a guy who couldn't pay back his debt, Christian set up a plan. The poor guy had arranged for Luigi Lamborghini to send $5000 worth of drugs to the man he owed, but Christian stopped Luigi on his way. Christian, using his powers as a cop, took the drugs for himself. Now, he was conning Nicolani's man, forcing the man to pay him to rough up the debt-ower again as well as getting five grand of drugs for free. Unfortunately for Christian, if Nicolani found out about this, he'd be killed in an instant, and Luigi was the only man in Pandora that knew. This was unfortunate for Luigi too... Now every cop in Pandora is on the lookout for him. Luigi, who needed money to help pay back Nicolani's man got a job to protect a wealthy man who had double crossed Nicolani earlier. Luigi and the wealthy man headed for a nightclub, where five of Nicolani's men arrived. Meanwhile, Christian had headed there looking for Luigi. He was approached by a man offering to help 'take care' of anyone, but before Christian could respond, hell broke loose. After a brief gunfight, Christian called in some cops to clean up the mess, but Luigi was already gone.

I know I didn't cover everyone's story, but it was getting a bit long and complicated. If you desperately want me to add everyone else to it, let me know and I'll write a bit extra.

[random980]

even reading this confused me
adding the actual names of the NPC's in the last-time section would help...
and thanks skunk, this helps me understand blacks angle on this situation alot

[Skunk_Giant]

Like I said on Z-Apocalypse, I've been busy for a number of reasons, so I'm really sorry for the huge delay. My plan is to have a post up for at least one, if not both of these by tomorrow.

[Blackadder51]

Its alll goood

[Skunk_Giant]

"Hey asshole?"
Davids turned to find Luigi, his spiked knuckles equipped. "Luigi! Oh, thank God you're here, I was-"
"Where's my cash?" Luigi edged closer to the man.
"Right here, Sir..." Davids reached into a cabinet and pulled his wallet out. He shelled out the full amount, (+ $1700).
"Good doing business with you, Mr Davids." Luigi slammed the door on his way out. His cell rang.
"Yep?"
"Luigi, it's Fred. I got some cash, more than half, but not the full amount. You got anything?"

Random980

a) Tell Fred how much money you have
b) Tell Fred you have no money
c) Tell Fred you have some money, but lie about the amount (specify how much to tell him about)

"Mr Galitsky, any news on your status in Nicolani's mafia?" Christian asked.
"Yeah, thank God. Turns out they have no clue about me."
"Ah, good... Hey, listen, there's this bad character I've been following up. A Luigi Lamborghini. I have reason to believe he may be involved with Nicolani..."
"I'll be sure to listen in." Galitsky assured Christian.
"So what exactly are you working on, why did you choose the Nicolani family?"
"Well, the cops tell me they're suspicious. They don't know who, but they're pretty sure that there are some corrupt guys that are working with Nicolani. If all goes well, we'll be able to find out who or break in and interrogate the head guy himself."
"I see... Galitsky, can I ask you to make Luigi your top priority?" Christian asked. Most cops would instantly suspect Christian of being up to something, but this kid wasn't a cop...
"Well... I'm not so sure if..."
"You see Galitsky, I'm currently following leads regarding corruption with Nicolani," Christian lied, "we can simply... swap."
"Well, I'll have to check wi-"
"Don't worry Galitsky, I'll have it all sorted out. You just need to work on finding that asshole, and as soon as you hear anything on him, you let me know. Easy, right?"

Blank_Kold

a) Agree. Perhaps Christian can become a friend.
b) Disagree. No way are you swapping.
c) Check with your superiors first.

"Ah, Angel, I'm sorry to hear of your problem." Lombardi said sincerely.
"Yeah... Well, the assholes are all either in prison or dead, so it was worth it." Lucia replied bitterly.
"You should see a doctor, Angel. Dr O'Neil is a brilliant man, a bit pricey though..."
"I'll think about it, the limp isn't too bad..."
"Please do, it'll help you with this next job I have planned..."
"Oh?" Lucia was interested. A job from Lombardi always paid well.
"I know this isn't a usual ask of you, but I recently lost a man to the cops, and you're my only option right now. I need someone killed, Angel... Brought to Heaven, if you will..." Lombardi chuckled at this. "I'll pay well, $1500, but it's dangerous, this guy's in a gang..."

Kaosu

a) Take the job.
b) Don't bother.
c) See a doctor about your limp leg (this can be done any time through a PM or reply here)

[Skunk_Giant]

I'm always glad to take new players. I know it seems strange that I'm taking more players even though I rarely have time, but I'll manage.

Just so everyone knows, you should probably expect one post for Z-Apocalypse and one post for The Family per week. If I get the chance, you may get more, but don't expect it. Sorry.

So yeah, Eric, just fill out the player profile in the OP. It's not vital, but try and skim over the Prologue and Chapter One to get a general idea.

Also, could I buy some Spiked Knuckles, and a Shotgun please? =]

[random980]

ill ask him how much we need then ill say i have about *insert rounded money total here* then ill keep all my left over cash :3
...stupid Fred... *mumble*

[Blank_Kold]

B, terror doesn't trust anybody nor does he have any particular concern for whether or not crimes actually get solved. Extortion is also always a plus.

Seeing as I'm making a post anyway, ill toss market stuff in here as well. I'd like to buy a 15 bullet clip pistol, and a large knife (with, if at all possible, a sheath that clips onto a belt horizontally, so as to make the blade concealable with a simple t-shirt).

[random980]

hey skunk i was wondering if i could pm you some ideas about stuff that could go into the market! also you should probably change the description of the client for the body guard job.

[Skunk_Giant]

Of course you can PM me.
I'm thinking I'll just keep all the jobs as they are, and just change it in game. So while the description says ex-cop, next time it may just be some guy who stole from a mafia or something.

[Skunk_Giant]

"So there's money, eh?"
"And protection from Talbeno and anyone else you've beaten up over the years..."
"Alright, I'm in."


That was the moment that Elias Kindig's life began to get better... and more dangerous. Now, he was preparing himself for his first meeting with one of the most powerful men in Pandora... Alfred Turner.
"Ah, Mr Barmaine," Turner began with a chuckle, getting out of his seat. He waved his bodyguards off, who had 'escorted' Joe and Elias up. The room was in one of the tallest buildings in Pandora, and Turner had rented out the entire floor specifically for this meeting.
"Alfred, good to see you again," Joe responded, shaking the man's hands. "This is Elias, the guy I mentioned earlier."
"Ah, Elias," Turner gripped Elias's hand strongly and shook it. "So, what do you say, would you be... interested?"
"Hang on Turner," Joe interrupted. "The poor kid doesn't know what's going on yet." He turned to Elias. "So here's the deal, kid. You still work for me, but you're a made man in Turner's circle of friends. Turner pays me every time you do a job, and I give you a cut. A very generous cut."
"How much?"
"Well, say, I get paid $2000, I give you $1800. Deal?"
"So I get 90 percent?"
"Uh, yeah. Kid, I ain't too good at maths, but yeah, something like that."
Turner turned back to Elias. "So, what do you say? Would you like to join the Turner family?"

Elias
a) Join Turner.
b) Wait. You can still have the option of joining Nicolani.
c) No. You're not joining Turner at all.

"Mr Bormillio, with all due respect, I don't give a shit who gets arrested. I just wanna get paid for doing my job. I don't give a rat's ass about the law. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some business to attend to."
With that, Terror stood up, and left, leaving Christian alone.

Adder

Spoiler! :

Christian knew what this meant... the bastard could find out about him at any moment... Luigi could rat him out to Nicolani, and Galitsky could rat him out to the cops. Unless Christian ratted Galitsky out first...

a) Trail Galitsky. Find out about this 'business' of his.
b) Get back to work on finding Luigi.
c) Talk to Daniels, do your job. Forget about them both... for now.

Galitsky made his way to the old, run down shack. He knocked a a quick rhythm times, and the door opened. A man in his fifties stood waiting with a smile. Galitsky surveyed the hidden weapons shop, looking around. As he browsed the store, a woman knocked the rhythm and entered.
"Ah, Angel, good to see you again!" The man said with a smile.
"How've you been?"
"Good, Angel, and you?"
"I've been better... Seeing a doc after this about an injury. Anyway, could I grab a shotgun, and a pair of brass knuckles?"
"Of course." The man set to work on unlocking the glass case of weapons. (-$365). He turned to Galitsky. "And you, Sir?"
"I'll take a large knife, the one on the right... oh, and and fifteen clip pistol."
The man gave the weapons out to their buyers and put the cash away in a room around the back. (-$220)
"Oh, one more thing," Galitsky began, "do you have anything to conceal the weapon?"
"Yes, I've got a nice sheath that fits onto belts nicely... An extra fifteen dollars."
"I'll take it." (-$15)

As Galitsky left the store, he was approached by a shady man who needed a shave. "Hey pal, you wanna earn $200?"
"Excuse me?"
"I'll give you $200 if you stay here. In a moment, there'll be three guys rushing around here after me. They're criminals, man, I didn't do anything wrong."
Galitsky didn't believe him. "So, what?"
"Kill them, beat them up, just stop them. I'll pay you right now, you gonna do it, or not?"

Galitsky
a) Do it, you can probably just beat them up a bit.
b) Don't do it... this guy's weird.

As Angel left the shop, she drove quickly to O'Neil's place.
"Angel?" he asked, when she knocked on his door. It was a remote place, just outside the city.
"Yes. Dr O'Neil?"
"Yes. I've been expecting you, Angel. Mr Lombardi told me you'd be on the way."
"Yeah... So, how much will this cost me?"
"One grand."
"Yeah, alright. Just be quick about it." (-$1000) (-Leg Wound) (+10HP)

As Lucia left the building, she drove through the dark city to complete her job. She arrived at the man's house in the dark of the night. She took a look around and concluded that the man was alone in the massive house. He had foolishly left a window open...
Angel slid through, her shotgun and brass knuckles equipped. Lucia was startled as the man's laughter broke out. She could hear the TV going. She pulled out her phone and dialled the number Lombardi had given her. The man's phone rang. She heard him put the TV off, swear, and pick it up.
"Yeah?"
"Am I speaking to William Nolan?"
"Yeah, and who am I speaking to, sweet cheeks?"
Angel ended the call, walked into the room, and put a shot into the back of Nolan's head. She called Lombardi. "It's done"
"Good, I'll pay you tomorrow morning."

As Angel did what she needed to cover her trails, she heard a scream. Nolan's neighbour was peering through a window. The elderly woman quickly dialled into her phone, and Angel knew the police were on their way.

Lucia
a) Go downstairs and wipe the security cameras
b) There's no time, the police are on their way, GET OUT!

[Skunk_Giant]

There's going to be a big market update, so buy now while items are cheap. Also, I'll update all the character sheets soon with the stuff from this post.

[random980]

While items are still cheap, can i get another spiked knuckle? (for the other hand) and maybe a large pistol just to have around in case shit starts to get hectic.

Cant wait for the market update i contributed to kick in
people prepare for the market to grow about 4 times its size! XD
(lawl, push bikes)

[Skunk_Giant]

Spiked knuckles are for both hands, so you already have two. And by a large pistol, do you mean the 15 shot one?

[random980]

Spiked knuckles are for both hands, so you already have two. And by a large pistol, do you mean the 15 shot one?

I thought it was 1 melee weapon per hand. Thats why i mentioned duel equip weapons by simply buying another
but if i have 2 already thats good
and yeah, the 15 shot pistol please.

[Skunk_Giant]

Oh, by dual weapons, I thought you meant other weapons like knives and pistols.

[random980]

Oh, by dual weapons, I thought you meant other weapons like knives and pistols.

maybe to avoid confusion mention buying spike/brass knuckles gives you 2? :3

[KaosuHamoni]

A

I'm wanted as it is, I don't need some more incriminating evidence.

[Blank_Kold]

B, I dont trust this guy, nor is the money any good.

If he follows me, I'd like to shoot him in the knees.

[MKindy]

I will join Turner. He's being awfully generous. <3

I will also buy two large-clip pistols.

[Skunk_Giant]

Angel rushed down the stairs and broke into a cellar. In the cellar, in the place of wine, was hundreds of bags of white powder. He rushed to a large black metal cabinet and threw the doors open. Small screens were everywhere, some live, some showing the footage of the killing.
She quickly cut some wires, and to finish it all off, smashed the screens. As she was leaving, she heard a man's voice yelling from outside the cellar.
"Come out with your hands up! We have the house surrounded!" The voice sounded familiar.
Angel swore and raised her shotgun. "Fuck you!" She screamed in response. She fired a shot through the cellar door and rushed back.

Angel

a) Escape through another separate stairway that leads to the front door.
b) Escape through the window and out the back yard!

Christian reached for his phone as it rang. "Yeah?"
It was Daniels. "Christian, I need you on my location. I'm sending it to your GPS. We've got a murder."
"I'll be there soon."
"No, not soon! A murder as in, it just happened. The suspect's still in the house! We've got one officer down, she fired a shotgun shot into him through a door!"
"Shit... I'm on my way!"

Christian

a) Speed there, you need to hurry (you can use the sirens)
b) Drive correctly, you don't want to end up in a car crash

[Blackadder51]

SIRENS!! Does it also have the cool detective red light on the roof?

[Skunk_Giant]

Indeed.
