LE-Semois had been standing in the back listening to everyone addressing the topic and giving their opinion

Now now folks, let's not be so mean, can't we see this is a delicate flower??? Too much wind will make him scatter and fade away :(

Is so grateful dutifully walks behind Heston offering to carry things and wondering how many to tell back at HQ what was obtained

Thank you Sir, our Boss has been busy and a great meal all round would go down a treat just now, I might even try my hand at cooking it, it's likely to result in a demotion but for the greater good. Thank you Sir! 

Sees a weird flower thing out of corner of eye and shrugs and focuses on the following back to the market in earnst

Perhaps I should stay away from this conversation, perhaps I should just ignore this conversation. After all my protracted issues with the KUKU bloodline have somewhat sullied my own reputation. However, there are a few things that need to be said. Ralf_Rangnick, you have a point that every generation of the Kuku bloodline deserves a chance, but Le-Semois is also correct in what he says. I am usually quite good at spotting certain people in the streets, these past 20 generations of the Kuku line have been no different, however I tend only to use this information to take out a continued restraining order against his family. I have the power and ability to shoot every incarnation in the face and leave them to die in the street, but I don't. I am quite prepared to leave them be. As long as his family decides to return that favour, where they go and what they do is up to them. So I watch, and quite a few times I have thought I have spotted a possible change. That this generation is actually trying to behave. 1 day, 2 days, 5 days without any problems. But then I take a closer look, and sure enough it becomes apparent that they aren't doing any work. They are stuck at 5 or 10 units. That right there is a warning sign. No man with a family history such as Kuku's is intent on doing the right thing in this thing of ours if they aren't putting in the work. And then it happens. An abusive street rant calling out @Honesty, or Squirrelly-Dan or myself, or a dead Gangster, Goomba or Earner from his crew or another who's only crime is to be unfettered by Bodyguards.

I have watched crews offer this family line chances, and for it to be thrown back in their face. I have watched them live for 3 or more days unsponsored only to die at the hands of another for abusive mails and conversations. Truth be told, his family line has been given at least a dozen chances this year alone, and they have squandered every single one. Ralf, it is not a matter of his family for evermore living in the shadows, it is a matter of them meeting us half way. Of them accepting a place in a crew or family, of working hard, of showing respect or keeping quiet and proving that they can be something more than an arsehole. The problem is, they seem incapable of doing this. Mediocrity is not something his family is good at. They don't like the nine to five that the majority of us put in, committing crimes, dealing drugs, building relationships. They want to be out their, shooting no name cunts, abusing people in the streets, causing mayhem. So that brings us to 3 apt phrases. I'm not a fan of the bible, I have no need of ancient fairy tales written by bored goat-herders with ideas above their station. However, there are 2 of these apt phrases which are taken from that book. From Matthew 26, "omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt" Those who live by the sword, die by the sword and from Galatians 6, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. The other phrase not from the bible, but still a venerable proverb is You can't have your cake and eat it. This is the crux of the problem. The Kuku bloodline wants to cause the mayhem and to also be free from the fallout. They want to be able to do as they please without the repercussions, and I'm afraid that doesn't wash.

No CL worth their salt will knowingly give a Kuku a chance, because the headache you will end up with is just not worth it. His family being in your crew and fucking up, might just be the excuse someone needs to remove you, your district, or your city. So why would you bother? Even if you aren't killed yourself, you may end up having to compensate someone for the death of one of their members. So why would you bother? And the next Kuku will just step off the boat and laugh to himself about the trouble and strife his father caused, and set out to do the same. So why would you bother? Its a zero sum game.

Heston sits the young flower down 

"Well young one in case you had already forgotten you pickpocketed someone and then no less then forty seconds later you tried to assassinate that same person. The only upper on in our family was myself and I sure as hell didn't give you authorisation to make an attempt on someone's life. So you tell lies in the streets saying a HSL had given you permission. Maybe you need some time in the old country to really think about your poor life choices"

Heston stands looks again at the young flower shaking his head he walks away 

Daffodil please make a clearer point name say...I don't know 3 things that this discussion shouting in the streets demonstrates that you are any different from your ancestors? I have narcissism already noted so you only have 2 to name. You are welcome for the help. Many would not consider this trait as advantageous in the way you display it. It can be helpful for sure if used correctly you lack this ability so just 2 darling. How are you demonstrating your family history of gene defects are improving? It is an open invite not a challenge to state what you would like others to believe. I however as a nobody do not believe you have covered yourself in self reflection and change but let's hear it from the horses mouth. I gave you one you have 2 more aside from money, threats and bribary name some good changes that would make the community consider this a good risk to take? Thank you for my telegram wishing to pay me for information on what you described as my fabulous Crew leader - I sent you one back with a polite no thank you. What you don't know means you don't know for a reason. I'll hang around a bit to hear what these 'new' qualities' are that we should all consider. When your value is lower than what's on sale at the market maybe take a moment...?

Dave burst his way back on to the streets, he could not leave this lie. Some things he cannot turn his back on without further involvement. He knew walking away was not the right thing to do and he aimed to correct this. He would be sticking his neck out here but decidedly worth the risk. 
 

Heston, my fellow Chicago resident. Please tell me you have room for me to join you and victorious-secret at your dinner table? I am starved and you happen to be making my favourite today! I’ll bring the beers and a nice bottle of whiskey? 
Perhaps Vic and I could even invite you over to the north side tomorrow to return the favour. 

DaftDildo you seem to have lost any and all grasp on reality, on how this thing of ours works. The two names you mentioned were no name cunts. One was a virtually quadriplegic associate whom I had offered a chance to make a name for himself. He decided that travelling the world and eating huge quantities of Sushi were more important to him than making a name for himself. Your ancestor shooting him simply removed the necessity for me to do it myself. Lostboy, whilst considerably more active than SoulJaBoy, had also failed to make a name for himself. So yes, both of them were no name cunts. I would hardly have called either of them a friend of mine let alone a friend of ours. However, you have illustrated yet another quality of your line which I have mentioned in the past...

 In fact when presented with evidence, Keating and his lineage will either ignore it, or change the subject, instead choosing to focus on a minute detail totally irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

 Any way, I believe Victorious-Secret asked you a question.

Feels left out 

Fading Daffodil I asked a question - would you care to answer please instead of picking up an old long standing issue from the past? You wish to be respected and accepted today this is a now today question. A great opportunity for you. Please may you answer? 

Nothing about you is sensical DaftDildo. Particularly seeing how the situation you described never happened.

Heston this time doesn't stand around long enough to listen to the conversation it seems to be the same old shit as last week and the week before that and even the week before that 

"Daffodil please learn some fucking manners someone has asked a question answer it!"

Might you answer the question Daffodil? I can answer easily what I bring to my crew and community - you seem to be dodging the question. You claim change - may you please state specifically what these are. Knowing you a little I will pre-empt the usually try and pass aside and deflect - I believe I bring journals of experience to make my life a little bolder from past that went right and wrong, I believe I bring a wicked atmosphere to the HQ and I believe I genuinely want to help and mentor the genuine people here to learn or re-learn. Over to same question still stands please.

IRC is an unknown word on these streets. Is that actually your reply? So narsassium a claim to bring people to the streets in a united front against your behaviour and conduct and making people feel uncomfortable? And you are asking for work and a family? Wow, I had hoped for better to be honest. I guess you can only give your best which is lacking and boring at best. You like to deflect from questions and when you are made to the response is pityful, Good luck on your journey which I think a community approach will deal will as deemed fit. I am not a crew leader I would certainly not be sending invite purely based on this shouting let alone any diaries from old. I am off for steak enjoy your rant as usual. Dull, predictable boring. 

No thanks. I have steak supper and non weird people to enjoy company with. Claim mis quote again or off topic or whatever - you have not shown a single shread of change at all. Sigh. I will be grabbing my coffee with blinkers on to you and a nice song in my head to not hear you yet again. Sad man. 

Sits down on a bench and listening to all the conversations going around. With all she had heard about this young Daffodil, she still thought he was a troubled young man. She shook her head and thought about the death of Telkin, that he seemed so curious about. What if... what if the grandfather of Kuku shot the young Telkin and nobody had found out yet? Would this be a way to get it known, so that he would take credit?

It wouldn't have been the first time that weird murders happened, or bullets flew at random places...
