Corktown Godfather | Started by: Spring on May 21, '15 20:49 |
Spring woke up early that morning. She knew it was going to be a wonderful day. Today was the day that Fear would be getting Godfather. Fear wasn't entirely sure it would happen since there was a matter of a mayor to deal with. Spring had no qualms about such things. She was forever an optimist. Fear was a supporter of the mayor, after all kicking up taxes to a man should mean you somewhat support them she thought. However, Spring was not convinced. The mayor was old and it was time for the Freaks to take over Corktown in a big way.

Fear had received a phone call as he was waking up reminding him that today was the Ball for the Mayor and that he needed to show up to show his support for the new Mayor and his campaigns. He had completely forgot but he knew that he still had plenty of time to get ready and prepare his speech but he had to get cleaned up first. He got up out of his bed and took a shower and finished getting all washed up. He knew he needed to look his best which was hard given he was a freak but some said he made the look work so he would go with that. He had a long day ahead of him which started with the work he had to do which meant most of his day would be spent at his office. He got himself dressed for work and headed in for the day. He knew at some point Spring was suppose to stop by and confirm that the Ball was indeed official. Later that day Spring stopped by his office to let him know and to hand him the suit he needed to wear. When it was finally time to leave work he took the suit home with him. He had got caught up in watching a baseball game when the phone rang and asked if he was ready to go. It was a call from Spring who was already there at the Ball. He looked at his watch and said he has to go as he hung up the phone and ran over to where he had left the suit and threw it on as fast as possible and went running outside with the tie still in his hand as it was almost Six and the limo should be there any moment. Only a few moments later did the limo arrive so he was literally right on time as he got in still tie in hand looked completely unprepared which he truthfully was. Luckily the drive was not too long and the ride was not too uncomfortable either. It was a rather nice limousine but he was starting to get worried because he was not sure what he wanted to say when he was given the opportunity to speak on the Mayor's behalf which was after the Mayor's speech that he was suppose to give which was mostly to help his campaigns he was running. Shortly after he had come up with a decent amount of what he was going to say the limousine took a sudden halt. The driver got out and opened Fear's door as he got out of the limousine and walked down the carpet that was laid out and into the building that was hosting the ball. As he looked around he noticed the Mayor had not yet arrived so he went into the bathroom and made sure to get his tie done so he could look more professional when the Mayor had arrived. Time flew by as he did not even notice the Mayor had already arrived and seemed to have finished a glass of champagne already. He walked over to him and spoke with him briefly giving him his praise and his support on everything he had been doing. His speech was suppose to be coming up so he made it brief as he went and sat down at a table and waited for his speech to start so he could follow up with his own speech to let the community know where his support was at. |

Cipher hears word of a grand event being planned this evening and makes time out of his hustle and bustle to attend it in his grandest suit holding his grandest puzzle box. Cipher appears outside gossiping with the other attendee's regarding tonight's event and offers up some free stogies while they stand around and play kick the can. Cipher then extinguishes his stogie and moves on inside to grab a seat at any free table as there is a lot of folk attending tonight. |

Spring had been making her way through a few friends that she had met in her campaign. She had began her circle of the room by talking to Mr and Mrs Henry. They were such a lovely couple that lived a few doors down for the hotel. She had met them on one of her skips down the street to a nearby coffee place. They had lived in Detroit for quite some time and were getting tired of the mayor. According to them they had never seen him do anything more than stuff his face. She had to giggle as she thought of their conversation. It did appear that her mission would be so much easier than she thought it would have been. The mayor had made her believe that he was well liked but as Spring had met people in the district she had learned otherwise. Next she made her way over to the Goodfellows family. She got suckered into a dance with Mr Goodfellows. Spring was far too polite to decline as it would be unseemly for a young lady. So she waltzed and twirled her way away from the family at the earliest moment that she could do so. Spring watched as Fear made his way around the room. He was doing his part without even knowing what it was he was actually doing. She watched him talking to the guests. Then she noticed Cipher walk in. She quickly grabbed a drink and headed in his direction. "Good to see you here. You look like you could use one of these." She handed him the drink with a smile. She was pretty good at running errands for the bosses of her family that it just seemed natural to be welcoming to family as they entered the event she had planned so carefully. Soon she was back on her way to complete her circle. The families that came to the event were very well off and she was excited to meet them. So off Spring went. Chatting and dancing her way across the room in merriment. |

Stefan was feeling rather excited this particular evening. He had just got dressed up in his tux that Spring had dropped round earlier that day. He was attending a ball this evening being held in honour of the major. He picked up a dart and threw it towards a picture of the guest of honour as he chuckled to himself. He grabbed a glass and poured himself a shot of whiskey while he prepared everything he would need for the evenings events. Rope, hood, knife, he began reading off his checklist before he was interrupted by a phone call. It was Scottie. SPEAK! He yelled down the phone. He heard Scottie chuckle back and listened to the plan before hanging up and drinking his whiskey. He quickly gathered up his items in a bag and headed to his car. He arrived at the HQ to meet up with Scottie as they would be needing only one car this evening. He watched as Scottie loaded his own trunk with several items that looked rather interesting. Stefan transferred his own gear into the trunk and climbed in. As they were arriving at their destination Scottie reminded him of the plan again twice. Scottie I know you are my boss and all, but please stop talking, I get the plan. I got it the first sixteen times. He laughed as he got out and headed for the entrance with his ticket. Stefan Salvatore he said to the man at the door. He walked in looked back at Scottie and watched him drive off. As he walked in he noticed there were many guests already here. Several he recognised and a few he did not. Then he locked eyes on the mayor. He thought about how much easier it would be to just slaughter him there and then but knew he must stick to the plan just to prevent his boss from suffering a heart attack. He approached the mayor who was finishing up a conversation with a very fine looking lady. He extended a hand and introduced himself, they engaged in some light conversation. Well Sir a few gentlemen were just heading outside to the courtyard for a cigar would you care to join us. The mayor agreed and walked alongside Stefan. This was a lot easier than he thought it was going to be. He had been ready for plan B but here he was heading out to the back of a building feeling rather smug with his work. As they got outside Stefan wit his finely tuned hearing worked out exactly where Scottie was, reached into his pocket and offered a cigar to the Mayor. They slowly walked towards where Scottie was hiding and again engaged in casual conversation. You know I think you make a fine Mayor he said secretly checking that there was no one within range. Which is why I am sorry. Sorry what on earth are you sorry for young man he exclaimed to Stefan. As he looked up at him he noticed an evil menacing grin spreading across his face. The face however soon was replaced by darkness, he was unable to breath properly and could feel himself being carried away somewhere at an incredible speed. Before he knew it he was dropped and he heard a large bang as the trunk was slammed down above him. As Scottie approached the car Stefan was already sitting inside waiting. Really could you not just walk like a normal human being? he yelled as he climbed in and started driving. Stefan leaned back and laughed could you not have walked at a pace faster than your grandma? |

Scottie heard his alarm clock going off in the distance, but despite the reading of two in the afternoon, it still felt far too early to wake up, so he grabbed the alarm clock and threw it against the wall. Of course, it didn't harm it, and it seemingly got louder. Strange how things work sometimes. Scottie finally decided to not mess with it anymore, and just got up and turned it off the proper way.

Spring had glanced over at the clock. Realizing she was late to announce the mayor's speech she set her glass down. She had her usual cheery smile and was very calm given what she had just arranged. She passed a few guests on her way to the stage at the back of the back of the ballroom.

Fear sat in his chair awaiting the Mayor to come up but he never did. He looked over towards Spring with a panicked look in his face. She was still smiling away as usual but she had that look in her eye, the one that let him know that the Mayor not showing up was no coincidence and that the likeliness of ever seeing him again were really low. He got up out of his chair slowly as the people clapped awaiting his speech, the only problem is he did not make a speech for himself as he always thought he would just be more of in the pocket Leader knowing that the Mayor would do as he said whenever he said it but it seems that would not be the case now. He made his way up to the stage nervously and tried to gather himself before standing in front of where the microphone was. He looked at the audience who were all interested in what he had to say. He took a step forward and was now standing in front of the microphone and said "Today was a glorious day as the Mayor's campaigns were going to be funded, but it seems people took an interest in making sure he could not finish what he started, therefore it is time for me to take over and finish the vision that we started together. From here on out this town will be cleaned up and policed by the Freaks who assembled to help me take over this place. We will invest in whatever is needed for this town whether it be schooling, jobs, whatever the case may be we will do it. I hope that all of you who came here today to support the Mayor will show me the same support that you showed him and help me move this town into its glory days. With that said he stepped away from the mic momentarily and pulled out a folded up piece of paper and stepped forward again after unfolding it and said "I was going to do this after the Mayor's speech but it seems that will not happen so I will do it now, these are my thank yous as you would call them for the people who helped me get through life. First I want to thank Latin for giving me the opportunity to grow up in his family and work my way up and actually be something despite my somewhat dark past. It has been a honor to work under you and now to continue working under you and working for your city and building up a town that will make you proud. My next thank you goes to Tetley who supported me as I moved up the chains with Latin, he never once showed an ounce of distrust in me and supported me throughout the entire time I have been here, without him I would not be where I am at right now. On top of that I want to thank Curtis who has also put a ton of trust into me and not just that but he has been there for me anytime I needed him, he has always left his doors open to me no matter how minimal the issue was and that means a lot to me. I also want to thank everyone else who has ever supported me through my time thus far, Archangel for helping me out getting to where I am and being overall supportive when I needed it and lastly SiriusBlack for also being as supportive as they come, without these people some situations would have been a lot harder to solve and they have and will continue to always be there for me. Now there is many others who have helped as well in many different ways but I do not want this to be too big of a ramble so for those not listed who have been exceptional friends and supporters I thank you so much for believing in me and supporting me and hopefully it will continue as we carry on this journey. However I can see Spring glaring at me so it seems it is now time to hand this back over and expect a big applause for Spring who set up and hosted this wonderful event today as without her it would never have been possible." With that he got off the stage as he watched Spring return to the stage and listened as everyone clapped as this was a big success that would not have been possible without her putting forward countless hours getting everything set up. |

Spring got back on stage with a grin. She was ecstatic that it was finally coming together perfectly. Fear would be taking his role of Godfather in Corktown and the people would get a much better leader out of it then the mayor.

Curtis made his way into the ballroom. It had been suitably decked out and the gathering were looking splendid. He found a table close to the stage and listened to Fear's speech as he accepted the position of new Godfather of Corktown. When he was done Curtis approached the resplendent Godfather and embraced him. "Fear. Its been such a road you have walked to arrive here at this point. I remember our first few conversations. Discussing bloodline history, new starts, rebuilding reputations and ideologies. I was pleased we embarked on the course we did and I'm delighted to now stand here seeing you in this position, fulfilling your word and achieving your aims. The right way. With the right attitude and the right application. I'm not surprised that Chairman Latin chose to award you your own district, it was the right choice. If ever anyone merited this on effort alone, it was you. Here..." Curtis turned and walked Fear out to the main doors. Just outside he waved a hand toward two men who were standing in front of a very long object veiled in silk. They turned and took a corner each and rolled back the great fabric to reveal a gleaming fantasy of a car. It was something barely within the realms of comprehension, a real state of the art, concept machine. Fear's eyes bulged as Curtis strode the length of it's great gleaming magnificence. "This care was made by Rolls Royce of England! Led by chief aero engine designer Arthur Rowledge, they created this V-12 behemoth that is simply unparalleled. Liquid cooled and supercharged. Initial developments saw 1,400hp on the dyno in 1929. By the time the Supermarine S.6B seaplane established an air speed record in 1931, this R Type engine has been rated at 2,350hp!" Curtis walked over to the still shocked but clearly enamored Fear and clapped him heartily on the shoulder. "My friend, I thought long and hard about your gift and I ended up continually coming back to two of your characteristics. Your flamboyant sense of style and your utterly insane machine gun approach to mob mails. I was talking with a shipping engineer a while back and he showed me some grainy footage of this beast on an air field in the UK. Well, it hit me that I had to get it so I made the deal and had it shipped over. The_Stig drove it and when I asked him how it was, he simply wept. According to his mother and other scientists, that is the first time he has ever shed a tear. My friend, I can think of no more fitting a gift for you to be driving round your new district in, than this!" He hugged Fear once more and smiled broadly. "Congratulations my friend!" |

Fear, our bloodlines have been connected ever since my kin washed up on these shores. Ever since the day your kin Billy was GodFather of this beautiful town of Corktown. (A Doll? REALLY? But that's another story.) I have had the pleasure of working with you multiple times and look forward to working with you again. I'm proud to call you GodFather again because I know it was a team effort to get you here, but Im MUCH more proud to call you my friend. Here's to a fantastic run and long live Corktown!!! |

Tony Capazzo steps ahead of the crowd, he tips his lime green ribboned fedora to the crowd then takes a step up to his fellow Detroit Godfather...Fear. He leans in and shakes his hand and puts a envelope into Fear's pocket. Congratulations Godfather Fear. This is well deserved, as I've mentioned previously we've been together for quite some time now and it's been a pleasure thus far working with you. Freak Town is alive and well thanks to you and I wish you all the best on this next chapter of your life. I look forward to continuing our business relationship alongside Godfather-Chairman Latin and making Detroit continue to expand. Once again congratulations on this day, Godfather Fear. Tony smiles and gives a upward nod towards Fear in congratulations. He then takes a few steps back allowing someone else to come forward and give their congratulatory words. |

Just arriving to the city Brit noticed a celebration going on, she wasn't quite sure what it was at first but she kept on hearing something about a freak show and a carnival. Sounded like that could be fun, but she didn't have the time to do that just now. She was on the way to go find someone luckily for her the cab driver knew exactly where he was going. Getting to the HQ she was told by the guy at the front door to come in and wait, Fear should be back soon. Then it hit her "The Freak Show" they were talking about Fear, now it all began to make sense. It was extremely busy in Corktown because he was taking Godfather... and of all days for her to show up at his front door. After a couple of moments she watched as he walked through his doors. He talked to Britney for a moment explaining to her she needed to prove herself and with that he headed off to his office. She didn't even get to congratulate him before he left, she walked outside about to start her journey when it dawned on her she really needed to go back in there and congratulate him. She walked back in the HQ walking by a bunch for people guys and girls both dressed in their best suits, and here Britney was walking in in her shorts and a beat up T-shirt. Everyone eyed her up wondering what she was doing back in here, she stood there patinetly waiting for her turn. Finally getting her turn she walked into his office. He looked at her "What do you want now? Did I just tell you that you needed to prove to me and here you are already. So out with it was is it?" Britney was taken back slightly, but didn't let it phase her one bit. "Godfather, sir I know you don't know me well enough yet but I have seen that your bloodline and mine has had a lot of run in's most of which were all good. I'm standing here today to congratulate you in this achievement, it is nice to see you take this awesome position." Britney stopped to take a deep breathe "I'm looking forward to proving to you I have what it takes and that I won't let you down. Again congratulations, looking forward to what the future holds." Fear looked at her giving her a smile as she left the office. |

Versace walks the streets to visit an old friend of his and to join in on the celebration.
Brother, our family linage goes way back. I am so pleased to see you reach this milestone. I know for sure you will lead Corktown well. Perfect man for the job. This is very well deserved. If you need anything just let me know. Our ancestors have always worked together and its refreshing to see you do so well as your forefathers. Please take this bottle of Champagne and this box of very expensive cigars as a gift from me and The Versace Outfit.
As Versace hands Godfather Fear both bottle and box. "Salute to you brother and the road you take on building Corktown." |

IvanRomanov was playing catch up as usual. It seemed the old country kept him busy in the recent of days. Personal matter after personal matter... He was ashamed to arrive to Fear's late but he continued to give his respects to his comrade. "Fear, this was always meant to happen for you. You are a very hard working man and this truly shows what kind of person you are. Rebuilding the Motor City was always a challenge and it seems you have been a great deal in that task. I hope to see the city prosper as it once did comrade. I'm sure the other Godfathers there are just as ecstatic as I am seeing you take this prestigious rank. Congratulations Godfather Fear!" |
