IMPORTANT REMINDERS:
1. This thread is only for registered cast members, e-mail me to see if you can join.
2. Players, you CANNOT post damage or death on another "named" character. Any background character with a name, like "Hank" and "Weasel" for example, as well as (especially) other players. It is up to the owner of the character to allow himself to take damage/die.
3. If you have a character that dies, you aren't necessarily done RPing. E-mail me for options. Now...
"The Next Assignment"
(ATTN: RATH)
The following morning, you are resting in your study, contemplating your next mystery letter to your nemesis.
You are interrupted.
In your doorway stands a tall, slim woman of Asian descent, pale-skinned and exotically beautiful.
"I will get to the point," she starts abruptly. "I know who you are and what you do."
She pauses briefly to let you digest her comments.
"Your contract with Mr. Steadman is over. Consider this meeting your resignation. You will now for me."
She paces into the room, seeming to glide rather than walk. In the doorway where she stood are two thugs... Triads if your instincts serve you as usual.
"I am Linh Lao," "You may call me Madam. I assume you are wondering how I expect you to work for me... freely."
She grins knowingly.
"Your attempt on Marco Capella was documented by my men. Not only does his syndicate want to find you, but they will soon find you even MORE undeniable. I have arranged it so."
She waits for your reply, and is seated at a chair in your office.
"Coldstone"
(ATTN: EUCALYPTUS, GAC, BLUNT, WACO, WHITEHEAD)
Dawn has come. Like a hawk, Othello has monitored every entry into the area from the rooftop. You watched as JT brought your ally to the house, and made sure he was cleared for entry withno problem.
Palooka was relieved to arrive unscathed. And came bearing gifts of gratitude. Heavy boxes, weighing down the trunk of JT's ride.
Several of the mooks (to clarify: 12 mooks, 10 Black disciples, you, Palooka, Tivoli) helped drag in the two large containers. They were subsequently armed with the contents, all machineguns and the like.
A strange calm comes with the morning air. The sense that the imminent arrival is at hand. You can sense the tension with your men, and in the ranks of the Disciples, free-flowing nervously, while watching the perimiter like trained hawks.
Meanwhile, several blocks away, Vinnie, Virgil and Lou ride together in the backseat of one six Capella family cars. Sleek and bulletproof (think the limo from Desperado), these vehicles cruise slowly toward the industrial part of town.
The three of you, leading a pack of soldiers (numbering in the area of twenty-five), are fully aware of the trial that is to come.
Your career, your "family", your personal honor... hell, even yur reputation is riding on the outcome of your mission. Tivoli's leaks have lead to multiple losses for the family, and to each of you personally. Only with his head on a plate can you resume business.
Your men are armed as well, and are as current, out of sight of any of Steadmen's men. They are not yet aware of your location, but are sure as hell to be expecting you, anxiously.
((I strongly suggest that both groups, Othello, Palooka and company, as well as Virgil, Vinnie and Lou plan your stragegies with each other and myself over e-mail or PM. this chapter needs to be played realistically. Remember the combat notes above. There are plenty of goons on both sides as fodder. Play it up, but be fair. This Chapter won't end until this confrontation does, do keep it moving. Email me PRIOR to anything you think is risky...))

Roman and Frank have taken cover. After the smoke cleared, it became evident that your assailant was charred toast in the tripwire explosion. You have searched Bosca's house from top to bottom, and find little by way of evidence.
As you are preparing to leave, you get another call. It is from Ernesto, one of your men at the mansion. His news is the worst possible...
Back at the mansion, while scouring and rounding up potential suspects, the trio of Tony, Dino and Paulie found no conclusive results. The shock of an explosion that never came was soon overshadowed, as the three of you returned outside to find Don Capella and the surrounding henchmen all dead. Seven men in total, shot from above. One shot each. (not any kind of homage to the Beltway Ass-Pirate) Underneath a car you see one survivor. Badly shaken, crying...
Ernesto is reporting the news to Roman over his cellphone, while peeing his pants at the same time.
The murderer could be lingering in the area. There is no way to be certain. The only sure thing is the feeling you have that the pager message was a red herring to get the Boss out in the open.
Shit, it seems, has happened.
