Modern day Robin Hood | Started by: Raoul_Silva on Feb 05, '13 11:59 |
Raoul had contemplated this for several days. It wasn't the usual course of action for a mobster, well it wasn't the usual course of action for anyone. But there comes a time in a man's life, even in the life of a man as sexually charged as Raoul, where he starts to look beyond the here and now, and look at the bigger, long term picture. For Raoul, this was one such moment. Whilst not the path he would have chose, thus far it had been good to him, it was perhaps time to give something back. |

Tyrion stops to listen to the self proclaimed theif when all of a sudden Deja Vu slaps him in the face. A little startled by this, the Imp continues on his path to the nearest whore house |

You are quite correct Mr Lannister, as I already stated my own ancestor held this very same competition. I guess we never can change our natures. |

*hops off the camel she rode in on*
Well, well... who ever would have thought. Years ago, as I was being raised by traveling gypsies who took me in after my parents died in a strange wild dingo attack, i had chance to befriend a fortune teller. She told me, after many years of struggle and suffering, I would one day come upon a man who would give me hope. Through these years of travels... oh, the stories I can tell. Living with carnies, rooming with a three-armed bearded woman, selling snake oil from the back of a wagon to innocent villagers, peddling little Oriental porceline dolls - just to name a few. Through all these years, I have held on to that prophecy, that "salvation", if you will. Now, I know it's true! How do I know. you ask? Well, I'll tell you! She said the man would be wearing dark shoes.... and YOU, sir, YOU are indeed wearing black shoes.
*She raises her hands to the heavens with tears strumming down her cheeks*
Ah, There IS hope! There IS good in the world! |

Raoul claps his hands and speaks with a laugh in his voice. |

*bends down and squints to look at the shoes closer*
Eh, there was a shadow. she didn't define HOW they would be dark, just that they'd be dark, and they are dark in the shadow. So, still.... I win. |

Raoul walks out clutching a fist full of money, looking quite perplexed. |

Paul Vitti hear what Raoul is talking about, he liked what he heard ,but Robin Hood was just a good story from past, he though and then he though how he never in his life got some money without a real hard work and it sound too noble to be truth in this dark times, but then realzed it costs him nothing to just apply so he walk back at Raoul and tell his story...
Well like you can see I am broke guy with few bucks in his pockets , my ancestors were rich people but they each time waste all their money to help their family leaders in time of war , but people forget fast and after couple of wars my ancestors have been in, here I am , without money , even without shelter... Paul make dramatic pause while he shake his head in disbelief
I was too long away , lived like a hobbo, but now after year passed I have decided to go my ancestors steps and turn crime life, but for beggining I need some money I should invest in to make something more out of it... So that money would mean a lot to me, but like I said , I never got anything without working hard...

Raoul looks around, dismayed at the total and complete lack of interest. Sometimes even giving money away is next to impossible.

Well, the rest of the world may not care, but I come from a family of traditional values. Save a pennt earn a penny, i was always told. Everyone's riches always begin with that first penny - let alone 185k! I will NOT turn from that. Thank you, Raul *smiles* |

Seeing Charlie_Luciano looking down Sinfest walks up to him and says
"Don't feel bad man most people just aren't as into free money as others and its highly possible your lungs just weren't loud enough for everyone to hear. Maybe next time, if you decide to do something like this again, pay a crew leader or godfather a bribe to advertise said contest if you're really looking for more participants" |

It is a shame that more people did not take an interest in this. Unfortunately, I did not make the criteria. It might be that the people who could have used this did not know to look here for it. At least some of them I would dare to say that it is more of what this community has become. There seems to be a lack of real interest with many skating by not caring. A stagnancy if you will. I understand the area is about to be razed and reformed. I originally thought that this might be good for the community and bring back interest in contests such as this. This community was so much more than it is now from when I first came here. It is a shame when a fine upstanding citizen such as yourself no longer cares about his own attempt to lend a helping hand.
I keep hoping for a change, hoping a real interest will return. Unfortunately I have not seen it and if we are heading where it appears we are we are only at the beginning of the depression. |

I, most definatly, would have been interested in such a fare. Unfortunatly, I was tied up in what seemed to be a whole other world of issues. |
