well this aged

Anyway, anyone want to purchase some soap? It appears another box full has been left on the streets again

I love the smell of drama in the morning.

Can anyone tell me what happened to Isabella?

The same thing as what happened to the previous Isabella who turned on her GFC over in Philadelphia. Killing your own GFC usually leads to a dirt nap. (Rightly or wrongly who am I to say) Are we so devoid of ideas we are just doing re-runs now?

My oh my Isabella, this is just dripping in irony. Sorry I could not get out here sooner to address this, but I had to take care of some documents regarding my late mother's demise. It took quite a bit longer than normal, which I’ll get to later on.

I realize I'm now speaking to a corpse, but I still feel a response is needed. I'll try to tackle all of your mistakes in order, but I make no promises.

It is incredibly ironic that you call my line "entitled" when that is the number one thing people have said about you since the day Geralt made you a hand against his better judgment. From day one, you expected to be treated like the sun shone from your ass because you were more active, you donated more, you killed more rats. It was clear you held yourself far above everyone else in the family. You complained about being rotated with Vaughn, even going so far as to try to spread distrust towards him within and outside the family. Calling him selfish, and ironically, not a team player. Your reflection in the mirror is very telling.

No one, and I mean no one, promised Zyhir anything. No one promised Cirilla anything. Neither one of them even wanted to be a leader, but agreed to do so when it became clear that there were no other strong options within the city. Cirilla agreed to take Summerlin upon reaching age, but she knew this was a bad plan. Eleven day leadership is never a fun time for anyone involved. She convinced Dawson to take the opportunity offered to him, and that she would be there by his side to assist. She worked hard for him because he was starting from scratch. Yeah, Cirilla had over 1300 notches to her gun in a very short time, but why would she use it against you? A person she trusted, and vouched for on numerous occasions? She was going all out because one of her best friends needed her, not to try to remove you from the field. If that had been our goal my line could have seen it happen at any time over the previous months at the snap of a finger. The only thing standing between you and death was us. You really have bitten the hand that fed you here.

"I respectfully I ask you to stand back and let Vegas sort this out without any interference. I am confident I have earned enough respect to have my wishes met. Please holster your guns. I am not even asking for assistance. I do not want any unnecessary bloodshed. "

This is, sadly, hilarious, and it shows just how out of touch you are. If you really thought the other cities and leaders, many of whom have roots in old Las Vegas, either via Geralt, Cheetara, or SassyPeach, would just sit there and watch you rogue - and let us be clear that that's what it is, without doubt, you rogued against your own city and the people who lifted you up to your current role, and you knew it, seeing as you sat on pros for a good 18 hours after the attack - you really are confounded. You earned basically no respect with those other leaders - many, MANY times over the past few months there have been calls for your death from inside and outside of Las Vegas. My line vouched for you and protected you, every time. When you had a hissy fit about not being a hand or immediately authed after Geralt died, his son Zyhir vouched for you. When you made it clear you had no respect for Cheetara and saw her as beneath you, he vouched for you. When you wanted Godfather of Paradise over FutureStealer (who authed you, how does that work in your brain???) he vouched for you. When Sassy and FS left for NY, at the behest of their members who explicitly stated they wanted out of LV solely because of you and your personality, Cirilla vouched for you. When you were continuously uncooperative and unwilling to work as a team in LV, she vouched for you. When you leaked war plans to your entire district, and got people proed before it happened, she vouched for you. When derpy Dank sent mass mails warning his members to hold shots and flights because of an anonymous credit he received, putting the whole city in danger, she vouched for you. Even as recently as yesterday, when your idiot captain made silly comments about Cirilla asking for help with hands, she vouched for you. And now you've gone and got your entire district fitted for cement shoes by killing the one person your entire run was dependent on. The “unnecessary bloodshed” is entirely your fault and on your hands. I hope you are proud of it.

Moving on;

"I am not a scallywag you can tell anything to. "

It seems that you are. Because everything you've said up til now has been false. You've been had, fooled, and bamboozled. I'm unsure of by whom, and you being so strong in your cognitive dissonance will never see your mistake or admit you were wrong, but that is the truth. If the rumors about who was feeding you info are true, it's even more hilarious, as the person involved is not someone I get along with and any idiot would know I would never share any type of plan with them. 

Cheetara did not, ever, promise Cirilla Paradise. This did not happen. There were no plans to remove you or anyone else in paradise. You are raving. You've been paranoid since the day you joined Geralt, always thinking someone was out to get you, always worried that someone was being held in a higher regard than yourself. Obviously someone fed you some fake information, and naturally, you've unwisely acted upon it. You, being who you are, will never admit to it or see the truth - you've always been concrete in your convictions, even when wrong. You'll stick to your guns no matter how mistaken you are. 

"How do you like the transparency I am displaying?  Are you taking notes? "

And here we see another of your defining traits - overinflated ego supported by mistaken sense of self. This is not transparency. This is a farce. You are pushing a false narrative (whether you truly believe it or are just using it to try to save face is irrelevant, the fact is that it is false and everyone who matters knows this) and vehemently dismissing anything contrary to your narrative to try to justify your actions to the country, and to yourself.

"Acer I am certain your uncle was not made aware of the planned removal of Paradise. I was asked about your uncle, and I had no answer. Other than you were fair game. If you mean I am not a player because I have no strings to pull (like a puppet) you are correct. "

Uncle was not made aware of any plans because there were no fucking plans. Had there been plans, he would definitely have known, and they would have been executed long before you had a chance to "intercept" or strike first, and they would not have been leaked. Your strings have indeed been pulled, by faces you do not know and probably will never know, because as he said, you are not a player. You have no knowledge or involvement in how our world works behind the scenes, and you're showing why that has always been the case. You are a loose cannon, prone to outbursts and tantrums, who can not see the bigger picture, but only herself. You are paranoid and easy to rile, staunch in your convictions and unwilling to cooperate for the greater good. You're an excellent mafiosi, but you'll never be included in the elite, because of your temperament and naivety.

Truly, I considered you a friend, and thought that everyone (myself included) may have been wrong about you previously. Clearly, I was mistaken.

In summation, you acted hastily with information that was conjured to fool you and weaken Las Vegas. You intercepted no plans and prevented nothing - you simply signed your death certificate and cemented your reputation as someone who should not be given responsibility or power. What's even sadder than that is you've now also condemned Dank to this same reputation, and being somewhat new to these shores his line may never recover from it. Whomever gave you this intel was never your friend, and never had your interests at heart - their sole goal was to secure the deaths of Cheetara and Cirilla and destabilize the west - and thanks to your foolishness, they have succeeded in this slimy treachery. May it ever weigh heavy upon you.

Thank you for your expose Goku, I can tell quite some effort was put into it.

I WISH TO POSE A SUPPLEMENTAL THEORY

Whomever gave you this intel was never your friend, and never had your interests at heart - their sole goal was to secure the deaths of Cheetara and Cirilla and destabilize the west

Was this perhaps a plot staged by The Plumbers? We know that way back in the day an ancestor of Goku used to work for The Plumbers but that his lineage cut ties with them some time ago. Obviously this must have upset The Plumbers, perhaps they tried to get your mother killed by feeding false information to Isabella.

When derpy Dank sent mass mails warning his members to hold shots and flights because of an anonymous credit he received, putting the whole city in danger, she vouched for you.

This also sounds like a classic The Plumbers move to this 'ole Clown. *honk*

GigglesVonHonkerton, an interesting theory, but completely wrong I am afraid. I have never associated with the non-group the Plumbers, quite the opposite in fact. I sincerely doubt they had any hand in Isabella's mistake.

However, I believe the second part could be semi-true. I've recently learned of anonymous credits being sent to random people, with a request to send anon credits to Dank to try to make him paranoid in exchange for a 10 credit reward. This is precisely the type of move the Plumbers are known for: preying on the naivety new bloodlines.

It's all true. Even I have been subject to some of these anonymous messages from the nefarious Plumbers shadow organization. Usually they are welcomed as boating ain't cheap. I've never heard of this "non-group Plumbers" but if they are anything like the Plumbers of yesteryear that we all remember so fondly I don't see it ending anytime soon. 

At any rate. It is always sad to see such a nice city as Las Vegas turned to rubble due to some clogged pipes infighting. Best of luck to everyone taking part in the rebuilding of such a beautiful city. 

There are some facts that Goku will deny, because he's equal parts stupid and obstinate.

Fact one is The Plumbers agitated hard, spreading disinformation. 

Fact two is that this disinformation had the impact we intended it to have. 

Fact three is the lady in waiting, Mrs Goku Sr, got a giant lead death helmet because of the disinformation 

Fact four is The Plumbers again felled our enemies 

Fact five is that JamesBaxter is an offence to any gunslinger.  He should be killed.

Fact six is TheBeast is now the Tutte Di capo Tutte, but with a far less entertaining command of street speaking

Fact seven is that Dusk sacrificed the right to a life without pain and was summarily executed

Fact eight is that Tetley's death was simply an hilarious coincidence. 

This also sounds like a classic The Plumbers move to this 'ole Clown. *honk*

Actually, this sounds like a Kuku move. Either way, they picked the right person to fool. Isabella  had the least restraint I have seen here.

Color me shocked! Hey Goku blow your pity ass words out your ass will ya. It was YOU and your scallywag that gave yourselves up. What do you think you are that important? It was after our minds were made up it was confirmed of your plans. See it did not matter much to us. We sit and wait to be wiped out to accommodate you, or we play your card and take you out. It was a win win for us. 

Ta ta 

Okay isa, isa okay, show me these plans then. Let's see this concrete proof you claim to have. I double dog dare you to show me the info that you betrayed me and your city for. Please, make a bigger fool of yourself.

Miles hears a loud conversation between Isa and Goku and can't help but say something.

It wouldn't be the first time Goku which is why Kuku would intervene and kick up dust. You would be a likely target BUT you would also do something like this too. After all, you've done it before.

Hey Miles_of_style that's a fair point. When it became clear allies were no longer allies in the past they have acted first. I would not deny that. As I already said, if I wanted Isabella dead I could have had her dead multiple times over the past three months or more. 

But that was not the case this time. There were no plans to remove her. I trusted her. And I have most certainly proved that when I trust someone it is absolute unless I have actual evidence that can be verified by multiple sources beforehand. 

#Goku, something just occurred to me. Nobody in the entire Kuku lineage has ever taken orders from you, but you had to from him.

And not for the first time, he just played you.

Miles hears his name and listens. He answers Goku

^{Isabella was warned to watch out for trouble like this. My kin had seen it before and when mail was dropped in her box Isabella was informed to ignore it. My kin knew it was a setup. It is a shame Isabella didn't have anyone to tell her this time. Her RH and LH failed her and it ended her rein. Was that Karma? Maybe.}

It's clear that this conversation has devolved and I won't be taking place in any mud slinging. Isa is not going to properly respond, but rather keep deflecting and belligerently sticking to her guns even though she is wrong. That added on to the Kuku(s) coming along to kill this discussion like they have every other discussion (and the streets as a whole) leads me to withdraw from it. I've said my piece, and the response I got from it via tips and messages speaks for itself. Those who matter know, and those who know matter. Good day.

Goku if your father saved my cousin Isabella's life so many times as you and Dalora stated, and you trusted me so much as you stated why would you hold that back from her? 

You boast about tips yet how many tipped multiple times? The respect paid to my cousin at her funeral trumps your tips by far and large. 

HaroldBogtrotter had been standing and listening, the talking dog had responded, but given his advanced age and very little capacity for nonsense, he assumed that the dog wasn't actually speaking and rather HaroldBogtrotter had forgotten to take some of his medication that morning. So dismissing the canine, HaroldBogtrotter continued to listen to the conversations around him. 

"Quite the interesting take, Darwin." HaroldBogtrotter said to the man, "Perhaps you hadn't listened to everything, but Isabella did just that. She bit the hand that protected and fed her, but your condolences are for only her. Quite interesting indeed." HaroldBogtrotter nodded, "I try not to involve myself in matters that don't pertain to me, but I can say I was truly sorry to see Crilla pass, as well as Cheetara." HaroldBogtrotter said, "A lot of good people died, and from what has been said here," HaroldBogtrotter gave a slight shrug, "It was down to the stupidity of one person." 

"Wouldn't be the first time, surely it won't be the last." HaroldBogtrotter said, "But hopefully the city can rebuild, and those who are homeless can find homes." HaroldBogtrotter made a move to leave, but paused at the last moment, "It's unlikely, but I'm sure there is a lesson to be learnt here, for a lot of people." the old man added before respectfully nodding his head in goodbyes and heading on his way.  

Oh HaroldBogtrotter for somebody who does not like to get involved you have a strange way of being the opposite of your actions. Or is it you are bias?
