Xiphos is standing on a street corner, the words of an escaped patient from a mental institution still on his mind. The man had shared words that he thought were fact. It was almost inspiring. It gave Xiphos the idea to share the secrets within his head. He looks at the nub of what used to be a cigarette in his hands. He casually throws it down, stepping on it to be sure it's out. He hops onto a mailbox on the curb.
Friends! Family! People I don't know! Lend me your ears! Not literally of course...that would be rather morbid. I've been inspired today, to leak information that is not as well known as it should. That Dutch guy kind of gave me the idea. I know what you're thinking. It's a bad idea to be inspired by a lunatic, but who knows this could make our lives a bit longer in the telling.
We all know that Dutch claimed that NY would be attacked by Philly in a matter of weeks. Alas, I have news of a bigger threat. Threatening to wipe the existence of our world away forever. A group of men threaten to kill us all, and change the way this life works.
In a matter of days, a man by the name of Tyler Durden will be leaving his safe haven in Delaware City, to attack the whole of the mafia world. He will bring with him an army of slaves to do his bidding. An army I tell you! Do not take this threat lightly, or it will be the death of us all. When this man comes we must be ready to strike back, before he has a chance to carry out his plans for world domination. Stand tall my friends, this is a fight we can win!
With that last word he pumps his fist in the air to give his words some emphasis.
Delaware City is a mysterious place. We are never able to fly there. I once boarded a plane destined for Delaware City, but if flew right over it and came back to New York city. I've tried to drive there, but the signs lead you in the wrong direction. These are all things set up by Mr. Durden himself to keep his enemies from invading his city. He likes to do the invading himself, and I hear not just on the streets. I won't go any further into that. Our only hope is to expect his arrival, and take shots before his shots can be taken.
We must show our strength to beat back the tide of Durdens. Are you with me!?
With the last, Xiphos stares out into the crowd that stood before him, waiting for the first cry. |
| |
Cries.
Yes we will fight them together! He will suffer for his evil!!!
Cries out more! |
| |
Xiphos stares at the man, clearly surprised his words took root.
We have our first voice! Are there any more that will stand with us!? |
| |
I too shall rise up and fight agaisnt his evil ways. Some people are saying he is the most evil man ever. |
| |
Clarity came rushing to the streets after she had received an emergency call from Xiphos. He had said something about a family threatening their lives and that everyone needed to take a stand.
Running around the corner she pulled her dress's skirt up a bit more so she could run easier. The heels weren't making it any better, but she had learned to run in them a while ago. She bumped into a few people while hurrying along and almost knocked over the newspaper kid.
She eventually had made to to where Xiphos was standing and giving his speech about the man, pausing to catch her breath she waved her hands in the air. She threw her fists up high and agreed.
"Aroo! Aroo! We will take this man down and his little dog too!"
Clarity cried out and then joined in unison with the crowd. |

But i have something to say this man is my daddy and i only get to see him every few days if he dies my life will be ruined
GoodFellas Cries
Save TylerDurden! |
| |
Xiphos looks to GoodFellas, and sighs.
Sometimes, my friend, sacrifices must be made for the good of the many. I apologize, but this must be done.
Death to the Durden! |
| |
tnaryT approaches Xiphos. He extends his hand, sliding a piece of paper into Xiphos hand before disappearing. It says "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Meet mearound the corner ASAP |
| |
Xiphos stands there, looking at the note with a dumb expression on his face. The words spoken to him ring with a vaguely familiar tune. He looks up, and around at the other faces.
Where have I heard that line before...
He slides the note into his pocket for later. He must attend the matter at hand.
Is this all we have to offer!? We need more hands to face the coming threat! |

Fozzy's chin hits the ground at the outstanding news he has just heard
I can't believe my ears.. Surely this can't be true? I demand to know your source before I believe these claims Xiphos! How did you learn of such plans from Delaware City? If one can't travel there, pray tell how you managed to become so entrusted within their camp to be given such important information?
We mocked Dutch recently for his crazy claims coming out of Philly, but you've really outdone yourself with this one. You've gone up onto a whole new level right there!
Fozzy shakes his head in disbelief and wonderment |
| |
Xiphos watches as Fozzy rolls his chin back up, his shock finally clearing.
Well Fozzy, it's quite easy to figure out. If anyone pays attention, they'd have figured it out just as I did. The Durden gang invade our world every few days. I can only imagine they'll do it again. It's not exactly proof, but it's better than spending 20 minutes in a city and then coming to know all there is of the city. Am I right?
Xiphos stands there, expecting his words to be accepted with no further question. When no one agrees with him he continues on.
Well think about it...Tyler took his brood to our shores yesterday. It's common knowledge he's going to want to try again. I can only imagine he needs a few days to break in new recruits. I'm sure he'll be back by the middle of next week. I have no insiders, as hard as I've tried, but you have to believe me! Look at the evidence! |

Chris runs to the street clearly out of breath he had been caught up with urgent family business when the call to arms had been made by Xiphos to slay none other then Tyler Durden, The man that wants nothing other then to destroy our way of living.
Xiphos the Bourban Street Brawlers shall add there numbers to kill everyone of those Durden Bums, There a bane on our way of living i myself have tryed to get to Delawere city but could not.
Chris loads his Tommy Gun and pumps his fist into the air
DEATH TO ALL DURDENS |
| |
Unreal! Delaware City has declared war on everyone!?! If only we had Dutch to confirm these rumors we would be able to gear up and prepare. |
| |
<em> Kingcola is standing in the street hearing what Xiphos is saying <em>
I`m not a man that like to fight but if you need me to help out with Tyler Durden I will do it so we can do business here longer
<em> Kingcola light a cigarette <em>
Nobody like to be threatened so we have to stand together |

PriestLogan steps up to the mob of people to give his two cents
Actually ladies and gentlemen... And Muppet... I have it on good authority Tyler and his crew come from the great city of Delaware so often to try to buy flowers for Robert Paulson's deceased mum... And you bunch of mad-men shoot and kill his friends every time he tries... Now is that anyway to treat a torn man?
Logan shakes his head in outrage at the barbaric nature that his associates friends and comrades have lent themselves to. |
| |
Xiphos stands there, a bit amazed at the words PriestLogan has said.
You mean...we've been lied to all these years? They come to our cities to raid the florists? My whole life has changed...I can't believe I was killing innocent men. This is an outrage.
He stands there and contemplates for a moment.
Actually, no. Not so innocent. Believe the lies if you will. These Delawarians are masters of deceit! They will lie so they can sneak in unnoticed, and claim the lives of hard working mobsters! They are treacherous, and dangerous. You must not believe the lies brothers and sisters!
Think of it this way. Why fly all this way, with a group of armed men, just to seek out a florist. Don't they have florists in Delaware City? Or anywhere in Delaware for that matter? It is a lie fabricated to force us to let our guard down.
Death to all Durdens! |
| |
Immortal looks upon Xiphos and snickers.
I might can defiantly speak on many in my amazing city that we will stand by your side and take out these so called Durden threats.. She lights a smoke and shakes her head as a slight giggle comes from her lips.
We do aim to keep all those in the cities safe. |
| |
Xiphos peers over to Immortal with a grin on his face.
Finally! We have a kind soul who would pledge her entire city to this cause! We need more like her! Stand against this threat my friends, and we will prevail! |
| |
Prevail!!!!! I like those words. And I know that if we stand unified we can. Immortal exhales a puff of smoke and smiles as she see a plane fly over head.
Let those Durdens come! We shall destroy and prevail! |
| |
Abel approaches Goodfellas and whispers in his ear:
Don't worry my friend. Tyler never actually dies. When the time comes and he is the last one standing, when they shoot hi, he just fakes his own death so they leave him alone to try another day. And since he is the last one standing, you always have a few hours to go and visit him when he comes...
HE then addresses the crowd and specially his Boss Xiphos.
Yes, we must unite against the common enemy. We must teach him time and time again that we are not to be messed with! |
