@Luigi_Antonino got off the ferry with all the other immigrants and made his way to the Ellis Island arrival office. He had a sturdy leather suitcase and his best suit was soiled and sodden with dirt and sweat. The three week voyage had been painstaking and Luigi was looking forward to getting a job and an apartment. Then as soon as he had saved enough money ($500,000) he would throw the best costume party ever. He knew a costume party was the way to go. People could really let their guard down and just socialize. I mean really it was all about socializing in the end. He had lived in stuffy old Palermo for too long and the old world was getting boring, everyone just drank warm wine and played Bocci Ball all day.

No more boring Sicily.......... America was the place to be, he had heard the stories...........

Palermo, Sicily 1920

There was a magical book that once dropped in his lap when he was watching the old men play with their solid silver balls. Luigi could swear a golden fat pigeon had dropped it on purpose on him because when he looked up he saw the pigeon winking at him with a twinkle in his eye. If it hadn't been for the fact that Luigi drank two liters of wine that day he would have sworn to everyone he knew, that the pigeon had talked to him and told him that this book was his future, his golden egg of fortune. It would propel him into a world of fun and dancing and parties and really nice people with kind hearts and soaring imaginations and all that jazz.........

It was entitled the Wondrous Wally and it painted in his mind a city New York, and an island Long Island, and two areas known as "West Egg"  and "East Egg". Wally was a riot throwing parties in his huge mansion. So many beautiful people and socializing and stories and partying. Drinking for those that wanted it, patty cake for others. There was amazing dresses and sinister suits. Amazing cars with all types of exotic sounding car horns. People had weird pets too, like sparkle tramp colored (crimson/blue) birds and really long dogs (weinerdogs) on really short leashes. It was so much more than Luigi could have imagined his mind was lost in all the amazingness. Luigi looked at his bottle of wine and then back at the book. The words were there they didn't lie, not like his father who abandoned him and his mom so long ago. The book was Luigi's favorite and when he finished reading it he made a promise to himself. He got on one knee did the holy cross like ten times and then with the book in his hand stood up and exclaimed!

I AM GOING TO AMERICA!!!!

Just then a Bocci Ball landed on his head and he was knocked out cold. The golden pigeon flew by once again and a golden poop made it's way down onto Luigi. It splashed on his head and it was like Luigi being baptized by the Wondrous Wally.

Ellis Island, New York 1922

Luigi was determined to make a name for himself and have fun while doing it. At the docks he recognized an old friend of his TonyCapazzo was pacing with some ruffians and ordering people around. Luigi made his way over and Tony recognized him instantly. Luigi soon joined his crew and started running drugs and stealing old ladies purses. He soon made half a million dollars, it's amazing how much money these little old unassuming ladies carry in their little purses. Luigi bought a small apartment in Philly his crew's hometown and started making plans to throw the costume party of the century.

South Philly, Philadelphia 1922

Luigi decided to rent a huge mansion in New York since that would be the most appropriate spot. He made some phone calls and somehow got in touch with this cat named Gatsby. This guy apparently had heard of Luigi's plans from some shining Dove in the sky and offered his home. Not only that he said he would make all the arrangements so that the fountains would flow with champagne, there would be edible gardens and candy kaynes for fences and the such. It would really be over the top and whatever anyone could imagine and want would be there as long as they just thought it up and put it in legible well mannered English. This Gatsby character just told him to invite everyone and their sister. Luigi was so overjoyed that when he hung up the phone he noticed he had peed himself from pure exhilaration and was now spinning around on the floor like one of the Three Stooges.

It couldn't get any better, no well actually it could it was just about too.........

Long Island, New York 1922

Everything was ready. Luigi sent out invites to all those he thought would have fun and he told them to invite anyone they could think of. This was about socializing and getting down like Charlie Brown. Luigi had invited the whole crew. TonyCapazzo , Scarfo , Latin , Aislin , Fear , VitoRizzo , Big_Daddy_G , Phantom , ScreamingButterfly , Spiels and others. He also invited some hilarious ladies he had met in the streets. They were a riot and could be funny and vicious all at the same time. KarmenKayne , Mave , Tish , Maria , MarissaVixen , Whor-able , BlackBetty and others. He couldn't leave out PaulHeyman , and his favorite poker buddy Aliens , the all powerful and magical Ajani , the courageous and determined Spunky , the steady and wise Louis-Manciagli , the always toga wearing Batiatus , the revolutionary Guevara and MrSpikeS and his impeccable suit. Luigi felt bad because he didn't know everybody but he hoped that eventually the whole wide gangster world would be invited so they could all have a little fun. He also had been told by the golden pigeon that maybe some angels would descend down on the party if enough people showed up and prayed to the heavens. Godly figures like the Satan dressed as Santa Claus @Satanta, the pillar of righteousness Warrior , and the mythical Squishy. He knew the angels knew many more mythical figures and might bring them along. Luigi could only pray that his little party would be a hit.

The invitation read as follows.......

Come one, come all to the

3 RULES

1. Have FUN

2. Go NUTS

3. Have FUN

In small letters at the bottom there also read.........the organizer of this party will not be held responsible if guests get shot for being disrespectful.

Luigi looked for a sweet Panda costume to wear and found the perfect one. He also purchased two Tommy guns and a huge candy kayne necklace for his neck. His outfit was real sweet it reminded him of some weird psychedelic dream character that he had always had growing up. It was his imaginary best friend and it was staring back at him from the 12 foot tall mirror in front of him. The mansion was off the hizzay and just as that mysterious cat Gatsby had promised him the fountains were flowing with champagne and there were all types of weird exotic animals on the loose. He wondered if people would confuse the outfits and the animals and weird things would happen..... no he couldn't think of that......foolishness.

Luigi was standing at the balcony with a large trophy shaped like a phallic Stanley Cup from hell. He had just dipped it into one of the many fountains and filled it with pink bubbly champagne and was starting to get a happy buzzed feeling. He was hoping that cars would start to pull up and was keeping an eye out. He lit a pipe and started making weird puff clouds and sending messages out into the sky. He was also keeping a watch for that wondrous golden aviary illusion that had gotten all these crazy ideas started so many years ago. Just then Luigi noticed a weirdly dressed man arriving on horseback. He had a leather mask with bars for teeth covering his face and he was also holding a weird like fleshy thing in his hand. It was Gino_Santangello the king of the narcissists dressed as Hannibal Lecter, suddenly he stuffed the fleshy thing towards his face and made some slushing sounds and spit on the ground. He made his way up the stairs and into the party. @Big_Dodge was also arriving and he was being chased by a huge slobbering cat. Luigi couldn't make out his costume.

There was music blaring and suddenly the party got started........

Big_Daddy_G rolls out of bed, rubbing his eyes in relief from the wild night before. He gets up and rolls a fat one, a ritual he does every morning to get his day started. He walks into the kitchen grabs some coffee, and heads to the mail box. He looks through the mail.

"Bill." Big_Daddy_G says, tossing it to the side.

BDG then notices the strange note addressed to him. He proceeds to open it. It's an invitation to a costume party Lugi is throwing. BDG thinks this is an interesting idea. He then walks into the house and into the living room, lights a fire and has a seat in his favorite chair. He lights up a cigar and contemplates what costume he will wear to the party.

Many ideas rush through BDG's head...

'Sasquatch?' he thinks.

"No, too boring." he says.

'Cop?'

"No too original." he flusters.

'Orangutang clown with a pyrotechnic cigar?'

"That's it!" he yells.

"I shall be a Purple Orangutan clown with a big yellow nose, a flower that squirts water and a cigar that sparks."

The next morning BDG is eagar to get up. He finishes up his morning ritual, and grabs his favorite suit and heads for the door. He gets in his car and picks up all the necessary things to make his costume. He then returns home, puts all the pieces together and gets ready for the party.

BDG arrives at the party and notices the band. He's a big music fan, so naturally he headed in that direction. He then sees @Lugi-Antonino and heads over to check out his costume.

Gino swaggered into the party. Only the most influential men and women of America's underworld had been invited, and naturally, he had received an invitation from his good friend Luigi. "Hmm now what should I dress up as?" he asked himself, looking into the mirror and examining his handsome visage, his black and impeccable hair and his deep brown eyes. He smiled a twisted smile. He had the perfect idea.

And so, he walked into the party, dressed as Hannibal Lecter, a character from a story he had read some time in his youth, but he never paid much attention to works of fiction anyway unless they were porn magazine. He poured himself a glass of Scotch at the bar, and then decided to have another, and then another. Very soon, the bottle lay empty, and Gino staggered around to face the party, clutching the last glass in his hand.

He loved this 22-year old Scotch, it was to be treasured and savoured. Truly, the person who invented it deserved a Noble Prize, nobody could beat him......well perhaps the one who had invented vaginas could offer some competition. He turned around to see the ladies glaring at him and he realized that he had blurted the bit about the vaginas a bit too loudly. However, he was too happy to care. He noticed Luigi in the centre of the party and tried to walk towards him, but everything started spinning.

He realized that he would risk spilling the whisky if he walked any further, so he took refuge under a table. He pulled down some of the jackets hanging from the chairs and made a pillow for himself and lay down on it, looking at the whisky happily. He wanted to take a quick power nap, maybe then the spinning would stop and he would not throw up. Soon, he was snoring in a drunken stupor.......

As vixen walk in wearing a lycan costume and enjoy watching everyone eyes on here being so darning to do such a thing and went up and kiss luigi on the cheeks and thank for invite to the party. As she look around and saw all her friends there she wink as them. As Shadow-of-death walk over to talk to her and so did nightmare afterward. She look all over for hudsonhawk and didn't see him at all.

As Vixen told her bgs give her that bag she went in to the ladies room and changed her Costume to a Venus outfit and she when she walk out and all guys staring out her and Then she see Luigi coming over and tell she is beautiful in that outfit and kiss on the Cheek.

Ted had never been invited to a party before, but for some reason or another he was given an invitation directly to his mail box which he gladly accepted. He was no good with directions normally, but the giant mansion was rather easy to spot, even when you're half way stuck down a giant hill. Why was Ted stuck down there, you ask? Good question. One that even he had not recollection of. Rubbing his head and making the trek up the massive land, he looked back at his now wrecked car and sighed. Reading a magazine and driving just apparently do not mix, but he was here and the party would take his mind off of these sorts of things.

He was dressed like a duck. 

Why?

He had absolutely no idea, but ducks always had a kind heart, and yet could bite you if you got too close. Just like Ted. Sometimes he argued that perhaps he was a duck in a past life, and no one could ever refute it. Luckily his bag of eggs didn't break in the crash, and so picking them up and shoving a few into his pockets, he was off to be the life of the party. Once inside he realized this would be easier said than done, as everyone seemed to have been invited. He wasn't sure how he would respond to not being the most important person there, but he was sure he would do it with the same kind of class he was always chalk full of.

"HEEEEY BITCHES. I'VE ARRIVED!", no one really batted an eye at the yelling duck jumping up and down at the entryway, but they didn't much matter anyhow. He began to ponder what he would do next, but that was easily answered once he noticed the bar hanging out in the back of the place. Fixed just close enough for all to see, but just far enough they have to walk. Typical. Ted hated to walk. 

Grabbing eggs from his pocket and handing them to random guests, he finally made his way to the area which he so badly sought. Taking a seat he slammed his hand against the bar itself in a vain attempt to get anyone's attention, but there was no one behind the counter. Maybe it was one of those fancy serve yourself kind of deals? Or maybe it was just a bunch of the persons booze and wasn't meant for guest consumption? Either way, Ted was going to drink some of it anyways.

With a bottle of whiskey in one hand, and an egg in the other. He sat there and waited to see what other guests would eventually show up, surely they would all rush over to him first. He was obviously the face of the shin-dig after all, well him and the guy who started the thing, but he was sure Luigi would understand that Ted had to outshine him a bit. 

KarmenKayne was laying in bed thinking about random things when she heard a faint knock on the door. She quickly got up out of bed, then ran over to her window and looked down to see if she could figure out who it was. She saw the postman carrying one envelope, so she ran down the stairs to open the door and greet him.

"Hi, Ma'am," he said to her. "I was sent here with an invitation for you. Have a good day!"

He handed her the envelope and walked away as she tore it open to see what it was. She scanned over the words and realized it was a party. She just loved parties. Even better, it was a costume party! She loved dressing up even more! It had been forever since there had been a party in the Mafia world, and it looked like a ton of people were invited!

Karmen shut the door and went back up to her room to get her shoes, then went back downstairs, opened the front door again and went to her car to drive to the costume shop up the road from her house.

When she arrived at the shop, she got out of her car and walked inside, quickly scanning her eyes over the vast amount of costumes stocked on the shelves. She went through racks and racks of costumes until she found the perfect one and took it over to the cashier.

"How much for this, Ma'am?" She asked the cashier. "This is the best costume, even though it's probably kind of common!"

The lady told her it costed twenty-three dollars, so she handed her twenty-five and told her to keep the change. 

"Thanks! Have a good day!" She said to the cashier as she left the building. Karmen opened her car door and got in, then drove back home to get ready for the party, which she realized she would probably be late to. 

When she got home, she quickly ran up to her room to do her hair and makeup, put on the costume, and then leave again to head to the party. She was only about forty-five minutes late to the party, but it was better to be late than not arrive at all!

Karmen walked in, adjusted her bunny ears and the little pink nose with the whiskers, made sure her black dress wasn't riding up too high, and then looked around the room to see who all had shown up. She noticed Ted, dressed as a duck, sitting at the bar in the back of the room. She knew it was him because, really, who else would wear a duck costume besides him? Looking around some more, she saw Gino_Santangello sleeping underneath a table at the side of the room. She laughed to herself, because she knew he was probably passed out drunk. He sure loved his alcohol. 

After another quick look around the room, she found Luigi-Antonino. The only reason she recognized him was because his face was peeking out of the head of the panda costume he was wearing. She could recognize that face anywhere. He had a necklace around his neck and was carrying two Tommy Guns. 

What a costume.. She thought to herself.

Making her way up to him, she noticed MarissaVixen and walked to her to give her a quick hug before going to talk to Luigi.

"Vixen, you look great!" She said to her. "I'm glad you're here so I have someone to talk to! I wonder who else will show up.. Hmmm.. Anyways, I'm sure I'll be back around to chat with you again. I'm gonna go say hi to Luigi real quick! See ya!"

Karmen turned back towards where Luigi was standing and walked to him, waving when he looked over at her.

"Hey there," she said to him. "You look.. unique! I've never seen a Panda wearing a necklace and carrying Tommy Guns. Did you think of that all on your own?!"

Wow it is really difficult to walk around all cool and classy in a huge Panda costume. The sweat started to accumulate and Luigi could barely grip both Tommy guns correctly so he decided to leave one lying on a bed in the large jumpy room that was setup for people to bounce to their heart's content.

The party was filling up quite nicely and Luigi looked over all the guests.

The first person to show up made me want to check the bottles at the bar for hallucinogens. I had never even imagined that a cross between an orange hairy big foot creature with a banana nose wearing scary clown clothes could exist. But is was there running around and smoking some kind of fire cracker. Luigi went over to talk to the hilarious clown and introduce himself.

"Yo mister orange monkey how's it hanging? you want a real fun activity to do? since you got long arms that reach the ground I think you'll enjoy it....."

Luigi pointed Big_Daddy_G to the pie throwing stage. There was a line of inebriated politicians that Gatsby had kidnapped earlier and blindfolded. They were in chairs on a stage with their hands tied behind their backs and guests who wanted could smack them in the face or wherever the pie landed. Some pies were filled with shards of glass, others with fluffy excrement.

One corrupt politician already lay dead from repeated blows of creme and lemon meringue flavored glass to the noggin.

Next Luigi made his way over to Hannibal Lecter. He wanted to make sure he got plenty to eat so he wouldn't attack any of the esteemed guests, so Luigi went over to the executive chef and told him to bring out a live goat. Luigi took the goat by the collar and led him with a leash to a small area that had been setup for any ritualistic slayings or executions that may go on tonight.... Luigi had expected @Satanta or Nuada to be showing up at some point and committing some major atrocities. Mave was also capable of serious bloodshed and Luigi was cautiously optimistic that she wouldn't be arriving. But in the meantime there was Gino_Santangello (Hannibal Lecter). The goat was in place and now Luigi stepped back into the crowd to see what would happen.

Just then Luigi was scared shitless when a Werewolf grabbed his ass and gave him a kiss on the cheek. The Werewolf had a really girly voice and thanked him for the invitation. Luigi had no idea what to do next. The Werewolf talked to a couple bodyguards and then headed to the ladies room. Out came a stunning Greek Goddess. It's almost as if she stepped out of a singing clam and the heaven's parted. Luigi rushed over to introduce himself and did a fine job of marking his territory with a slobbery delivery on her cheek......he missed his intended target. Anyone seeing this couldn't believe how the Panda with a Tommy gun had enough balls to try to french kiss MarissaVixen but obviously she was too quick for him and turned her face to avoid the nasty.

A duck started waddling over to the entrance and quacked something about Bitches Arriving! Luigi suddenly was real excited and looked for girls rushing the party!?!?! He didn't see anything else just a duck looking goofy and holding some weird eggs. Maybe he was a confused Easter Rabbit?? Luigi didn't know what to make of the whole scene but decided to just take it all in and not rush to judgements..... The duck was gracious enough handing out all his little eggs. Wait maybe this was like some form of weird fratricide and the duck was handing out all his little babies for others to raise??? Luigi would have to keep an eye on this suspicious duck character. Ted made his way to the bar and fluffed his little duck tail while chugging on a huge bottle of 22yr old whiskey.

Now the Panda was pointing his Tommy gun at random people and yelling Bada Bing Bada Boom! He was chuckling all by himself when a cute little bunny lady hopped over called him unique! Luigi almost shook his Panda head off his shoulders and balanced himself just in time to make a funny remark.

"Well shucks! Thanks!"

He was hoping the bunny had no idea who he was and that he could get away with asking all sorts of retarded questions. The bunny beat him to the punch though and asked him asked him how he came up with the Panda outfit and Luigi blurted out to KarmenKayne .........

"Well there's inspiration all around! The other day I saw a little Panda stuffed animal at a storefront in little China and I happened to be enjoying a candy kane. Then two wiseguys opened fire with Tommy guns on the shop owners and killed them. It just all made sense after that!! 

Luigi suddenly got an urge to break dance and headed to the dance floor to spin on his head........ the DJ was off the hook and the laser show was about to start.

Big_Daddy_G had been "monkeing" around the party for an hour or so when  a panda approached him. He and the panda talked for awhile about all the guest and their costumes. The panda then invites BDG to at pie throwing contest.

"Great idea!" "Ill head right over" says Big_Daddy_G

He then proceeds to grab a rope hanging from the ceiling and swings over to the pie trowing contest beating his chest and screaming like a wild man. He drops down half drunk and slams a pie into his own face.

"Lets get this party started!" Big_Daddy_G scream while having a seat ready for the greatest pie ambush of all time

When Luigi said, "Well shucks! Thanks!" she laughed a little. It was the first time she had ever heard anyone say shucks.

What a silly word shucks is... She thought to herself.

She watched Luigi-Antonino's face as several different emotions crossed over it. She wasn't sure what they were. Anxious, maybe. Nervous? Why would he be nervous? It's his party. Certainly not fear. She was only dressed as a bunny.. Hmm....

She was almost startled when he suddenly answered her question about his costume, saying, "Well there's inspiration all around! The other day I saw a little Panda stuffed animal at a storefront in little China and I happened to be enjoying a candy kane. Then two wiseguys opened fire with Tommy guns on the shop owners and killed them. It just all made sense after that!! 

The story he told was so vivid, she could see it in her mind. The men dropping down from the gun shots, and Luigi's mind realing at the thought of the costume he could create using that scenario.. Some people are just more creative than others and can pull inspiration from the darnedest things!

"That's a.. unique thing to pull a costume idea from!" She said to Luigi. "You would think you would be too worried about dying by gunshot, but instead you were worried about what costume you could create!"

Just as she finished talking, Luigi made his way to the dance floor. He immediately starting doing some weird dance moves, spinning around on his head, sliding around on his butt.. Karmen had never seen anyone dance like that and she just couldn't seem to look away.

The DJ was killing it and Luigi couldn't stop gyrating all over the dance floor. There was so much space since practically no-one had shown up to the most incredible party ever known to man had started about 20 minutes ago. Luigi knew gangsters and he knew they would all want to show up fashionable late.

Pelvic thrust here, pelvic thrust there and Luigi was absolutely killing it.

He knew his amazing moves would be attracting every from all the cities across this great land. It was only a matter of time and Luigi would be surrounded by throngs of adoring guests and drunk friends who would fill his heart with joy.

After all the secret to a good party was dancing and pounding the dance floor with epic moves and that was what Luigi was giving the community. It had to work........

After receiving the invitation, Scarfo had tossed it to the side and forgot all about the most cracking costume party of the 20th century. He had just met Luigi who worked as an associate to the family in South Philly and planned to make an appearance much sooner, yet business had kept him. Drunks needed liquoring up and opium dens needed refilling. Lowlifes, overworked businessman needing to escape, teenagers wanting to try a new way to get loose and those wanting to stick a finger in the air to prohibition had kept Scarfo, till now.

Pushing through the doors, Scarfo entered in his usual attire. Dark suit, dark vest and dark tie. His consistent surly mood may have had something to do with the clothes he wore, or vice versa. The point being he wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion. He forgot it was a costume party, and only remembered it was on as he'd made his way into New York on some business and caught wind of it on the grape vine.

Scarfo eyed the crowd. He quickly realized what kind of party he had attended upon noticing someone dressed as a monkey, another as a duck, and a werewolf amongst other jungle animals. He felt a little uncomfortable, to say the least, and two of his associates who had just walked in all stood there a little stunned.

After an awkward feeling moment had passed Scarfo turned back to one of his goons.

"Let's get a drink."

"You really want to stick around for this?"

Scarfo's company looked quite nonchalant. It had been a long day of business, and they knew they would be seated somewhere waiting till it was time to leave. Antonio's response was an attempt to hurry the evening along so he could get back to the hotel room and play some cards. Working as a heavy was a pain in the ass as it was, yet small things like this kept him occupied.

"It's Luigi's party, we stay. Plus, I need a fuck'n drink after that long ass meeting."

Scarfo removed his fedora then turned back to the crowd as his goons went off to do their own thing. One went to the back of the room and took a seat, the other, Antonio, braved it and made his way through the crowd toward the alcohol stand. Noticing a Panda thrusting his pelvis on the dance floor, Scarfo suddenly felt the need for his drink to be of otherworldly strength.

"This I wont forget for awhile."

Scarfo said to himself, before following Antonio's lead and heading to find something strong and intoxicating to get loose on.

The music started to get all slow dance and Luigi could see the Duck known as Ted start to waddle over. He was eying a certain Greek Goddess and her clam shell disguise, MarissaVixen was doing some mime technique where she was lassoing in the Duck. He had no chance to resist her advances.

Luigi settled back to the bar and took a seat next to his good friend Scarfo and was immediately given a shot of whiskey. He tried to lift the shot glass with his fuzzy panda costume and ended up pouring the drink down his ridiculous costume.

"Fuck this costume, I've been sweating for the last two hours and now I'm gonna smell like a stank hobo with all this booze and urine smell."

Luigi had failed to create a zipper in his haste to get the costume ready for the party. Now he was dreading the moment he would wrestle for hours in trying to take it off to go take a piss. It was time though this party had gone on long enough and he wanted to get back to the serious work out on the streets.

"Hey Scarfo grab my arm please. Karmen can you please undo the zipper in the back and just hold it while I wiggle out."

Luigi jumped out of the suit and grabbed his tommy gun and begun shooting the Hell out of it, he was screaming to the heavens in a pure joy of leaing behind all the crazyness of trying to stand out and impress the throngs with his weird wackiness. He thought to himself the brutality of the streets always needed a little levity and jokes were always in style but pretending to be in a psychedelic drug infused world without limits wasn't to becoming of a serious mafioso with intentions on helping his Family and city grow to prosperous heights.

"Alright DJ shut it down!!!" After shooting his Panda suit into fluff strewn wind filler he pointed the gun at the DJ booth, the party guest started to scatter all yelling and running for their lives. Except for Karmen who had found the other Tommy gun and happily started shooting anything she could.

"BBBrrrrttttbbrbrbttbtbtbrtb!!!" "bbbrbrbttbbrbrbttbtbtbrtb!!!"" bbrbrbrttbbrbrbttbtbtbrtb!!!"

The party lay in ruins bottles of champagne exploded and rivers of booze forming. Strangely a dead body lay on the floor it was Hannibal Lecter who had somehow cloned himself and was eating the clone in some weird and twisted display of savagery. Gino_Santangello had gone a little too far apparently and the city had sent in some doctors with tazers and a straight jacket to subdue him and eventually throw him into a ditch with other degenerates. Luigi was sad as he was a great guy, maybe eating human flesh does something evil to your soul.

The party was finished. Aparently all those greats that couldn't attend were to busy plotting their demises or forging the relationships that would make their crews rise in this cosa nostra. Luigi was ready to do the same and walked out with Big_Daddy_G, Scarfo and Karmen ready to hit the streets. No more silly costumes although they were fun from time to time.

Walking away Luigi tipped over several canisters of gasoline and threw a match. He walked away as Gatsby's mansion burned horrifically to the ground....

Vandlgat, having heard of a costume party being held in a huge mansion, felt it would be best that he pay a visit to the celebration. 

After taking a couple of barbiturates, he decided that he should go dressed like a train conductor. At this time, the logic behind this decision is not apparent.

Vandlgat arrives, with the intention to commend Luigi-Antonino on his success and celebration, greeting all who cross his path.

He pays his respects.

Vandlgat then finds the pool area of the compound, jumps in fully clothed, from the top of the house........

Before leaving the party completely Luigi calls the local fire brigade in and they make it just in time to control the blaze from burning the entire place down. So he pulls out some marshmallows and chocolate and graham crackers and sets in around the West Wing of the mansion that substantially burned. The steam is still rising from the mix of water and burnt wood but Luigi finds a nice collection of embers and settles in to make some smores.......

"I have all the friends in the world. All I want to do is have me a bonfire where we can all sit around and tell silly stories until we can't stop laughing and throwing chocolate sticky marshmallow goop at each other....." Luigi says to himself

Now he is hoping they didn't all exit as the fire raged. No...... he knew they all had a heart and would see him in his silly Panda costume soaked in champagne trudging back to the party. He was also hoping that the few people that had shown up to his costume dance party maybe would stick around and invite some other friends who can tell some good stories.

Luigi completely burned his first marshmallow as his thoughts floated off into infinity. He pulled out another marshmallow and sat at the fire waiting to see if any others showed up......
