A terrible stench filled the entire Coven HQ, announcing her friend's unwelcome arrival. Sighing, Kaya got out of her chair, feeling her old bones creak under her own weight as she shuffled towards the door in hopes she could lock it in time to avoid seeing her creepy-ass uncle. Maybe if she locked the door and stayed super still, he would go away.

The door handle was already in reach but before she could get to it, she watched it turn and in came Wayne, in his usual get-up of a plaid shirt tucked into denim pants soiled with what she thinks is pig manure. Avoiding taking deep breaths and with a defeated look on her face, she welcomed him inside her office and shuffled back into her swivel chair, looking straight at Wayne. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I'm all full up." Wayne said in his thick accent, to which Kaya cringed and recoiled in her seat. 

"I don't need to know what you do in your personal time, Wayne."

A few silent beats passed before it clicked and Wayne quickly shook his head no, waving his hands in front of him frantically. "No, no, I don't mean that... I mean my HQ is all full up. I have no more space."

"Ohhhhhhh..." Kaya nodded, relief flooding her face, quickly followed by worry. She had been in semi-retirement for so long that she didn't notice the situation sooner, and now a problem presented itself -- who were they going to set up now? After BerZerk's untimely passing (GRHS), she had been scared to auth again, but it was high time Bella Vista started growing again and so she put on a determined face, set aside her knitting needles, and put on her bifocals.

"Let me see here... lots of promising individuals in the district... but who would you recommend?" Kaya asked Wayne.

"How about one of my 27 hands, Qui-Gon-Jinn?" Wayne prefaced before he went on to tell her stories about the times Qui-Gon-Jinn saved a baby cat from a tree and a puppy from a burning building.

Nodding, Kaya remembered speaking to Qui-Gon-Jinn a couple of times and him leaving a good impression on her. She also knew his lineage was trustworthy but most of all, she valued Wayne's judgment in most things except personal hygiene and comedy, so she agreed.

"Alright, tell him to come over so we can have a chat then." And with that, her headquarters stopped smelling like death for a few minutes before Wayne returned with Qui-Gon-Jinn in tow.

"Wayne told me a lot of great things about you and although we've never worked together in the past, I have no doubt we'll get to know each other more during this run. I've also asked around about you and none of them had anything bad to say except you also kinda smelled, but I imagine that's just because you hang out with Wayne a lot. I'm beyond grateful that you agreed to become my captain and set up your own operations in Bella Vista, and cannot wait to see your family flourish... but what are you going to name it, though?"

"The Council," Qui-Gon-Jinn answered almost instantaneously and just like that, there was a new crew in town.

TLDR: Congratulations on auth Qui-Gon-Jinn!! <3 <3 <3

Peter pulled up in his limo after seeing a gathering around the city, he got out and put on his hat, withdrawing a cigar from his pocket he snipped the end off and took out a fresh match sparking it on a nearby post.   Some preferred the convenience of  a "lighter", but frankly it spoiled the flavour of the smoke with gas.   It was pure using a match, and much smoother.

Arriving Peter discovered the gathering was for a some great news, a new leader was getting their "bold" in this thing of ours.

"Many congratulations Don Qui-Gon-Jinn"  Peter took another drag of his cigar, exhaling the smoke into the nights sky.

"As a former Philly boy, I can only wish you the very best in this thing of ours, and hope that you build a strong family to do the city I love proud."

Even though Qui-Gon was unsure of where he was going he knew he could just follow the scent of Wayne.  As he followed Wayne he saw GodFather Kaya waiting for them.  Feeling a little nervous he smiled to make sure the mood was light. "Hey guys!" Qui-Gon stated before he began to listen to Kaya.

"Wow, I would be honored to set up shop under you.  I only hope that I can keep up the standard that you and Wayne have maintained."  Smiling at the thought of following in the foot steps of someone of his distant relatives.  

Looking over to Peter he listens before saying "Thank you Peter, I'll do my best to hold up the established standards of Philly!"

Marco was eating his launch in restaurant and it was a great place, he started to notice people are gathering and he noticed that Kaya was in the middle and facing them, he stepped down and walked between them to see what is going on, as he reached he heard Kaya's voice so he looked at he and listened to what she was saying.

while she was talking he took his cigar and lighted it and took some breaths.

Marco smiled as he heard that there will be more great leaders in his city, it is young man but he was known for hos work and presence.

He walked to Qui-Gon-Jinn, "Congrats Qui, I'm really glad to see you starting your house now, and looking forward to have a good work together"

Laurel Yanny was woken up when her driver honked outwide of her apartment. An indication that he'd been waiting longer than he was supposed to. This also meant that he would be entering the apartment in two minutes to make sure all was well considering the line of business the woman was in. She threw on some clothes, quickly brushed her teeth, and was in the middle of applying her makeup when her driver walked in announcing his arrival and asking if Yanny was alright. 

"Yanny? Are you in here? 

I'm in the room. Almost ready for the day. Will you take me to see Qui-Gon-Jinn? He just set up operations in Bella Vista.

"Sure thing, boss. Please don't scare me like that again. I hate the thought of the day I arrive to pick you up only to find something terrible has happened."

Don't worry Norman, today is not that day. Sorry I scared you. I simply overslept.

Arriving at Qui-Gon-Jinn's new headquarters, Yanny stepped out of the vehicle and was met with approximately five huge bodyguards and one very small bodyguard. Explaining she was late to express her congratulations she wanted to send her well wishes in person. The small one looked at her cross-eyed and with his heavy lisp he shouted "Fine, you can enter but if anything goeth wrong, I would love to thoot you". The youngish Right Hand gave him a concerned stare before disappearing inside. Shortly arriving to the Don's office she knocked three times before he answered.

Old friend, it's great to see you set up your own operation. I'm very excited to see what you do with The Council. Lets have a drink to celebrate. I brought the very best bottle I could find, and my driver sent a few fine Cubans to add to the celebration. 

Congratulations!

Diesel applauded as he made his way to Qui-Gon-Jinn . The bold suit fit the man better than most, and he found himself quite proud. Not only because Diesel found himself appointed to assist in the operation Qui-Gon-Jinn, but also because the man had earned his place. Diesel lifted a hand and pat Qui-Gon-Jinn's back as he offered a smile before extending a hand. "You've earned it, brother. I'm absolutely proud of you and excited to embark on this journey with you."

Diesel looked off into the distance; fields were laden with corn and barley all to be harvested soon by his previous outfit with Wayne . Things in Philadelphia were always sunny these days.
