So, in the last week, Bjorn and Flowah suicided, leaving Philly crippled. A lot of people have thought these suicides were a coward’s way out. I believe this to be true.

But why exactly did Bjorn kill himself in such a cowardly way? Is it because the hitlist was unbearable and he didn’t want to be killed by an enemy or a friend? I don’t think suicide is a good idea for that reason. Frankly, he should’ve had his son split the money with someone if anything. Though an interesting concept… Was he fed up with New York?

The AnkleBiter person was purportedly purged by New York, Tangerine? Something about Grin wanting him dead or something. AnkelBiter’s bloodline had previously shot Grin months and months ago. … So, NY kills AnkleBiter without “permission,” similar to how Bjorn purged Melis out from New York with no retaliation. Bjorn was supposedly upset by this loss of AnkleBiter… Probably primarily because of the hits rather than guilt for promising protection to AnkleBiter. NY or the Numbers people didn’t really seem to have his back it seems.

But that’s how cross-deal-killings work. I can kill someone in your crew, but someday, you’re gonna come back to me and ask for a death. So, Bjorn killed himself either because of the hitlist, being fed up with New York for not taking responsibility (not like they took responsibility or were honest with Melis when they let her get gaced after Buu rogued), or some unknown reasons or a combination.

So, what are your theories? What else is missing from this story? I really hope that creep-with-erotic-fantasies-Prem didn’t influence Bjorn’s decision. Do you think the hitlist was effective? I don’t like the hitlist at all. I wanted to see Bjorn die to an enemy… or a friend. Oh well.

Archy was walking the avenue with a steady pace, the city’s noise heavy with rumors of cowardice, betrayals, and blood debts. Passing by, he caught the sharp words of a man spilling theories into the street, his voice echoing against the brick and stone. Archy slowed, narrowing his eyes as the speaker’s face stirred something deeper — not just familiarity, but the uncanny resemblance of a figure etched in his family’s journal, a face tied to whispers of old debts and forgotten promises. For a fleeting moment, the past pressed against the present, unsettling in its silence. He lingered only long enough to finish his cigarette, a faint smirk curling at the corner of his mouth as if acknowledging a ghost. He checks the time and adjusts his coat before he turn away. The airport awaited, and the skies held his future.

So the TL:DR is that Spike found out Bjorn suicided, but doesn’t know why, then speculates as to the reasons why? Fascinating. Truly top drawer journalism.

I genuinely don't know what I expected but after all this time I sure as shit expected better than the same old tired nonsense. I actually thought maybe today was the day you'd surprise me and do something different. Instead, as per usual, we got whatever the fuck this is.

You openly admit you don't know why Bjorn retired then spend several paragraphs inventing reasons, connecting unrelated events and presenting your own fan fiction as though it deserves discussion anywhere except in that deluded head of yours.

Every other sentence is "supposedly", "I think", "probably", or "maybe". If you have actual information, say it. If you don't, do us all a favour and stop trying to convince us you actually know anything because none of us are buying it. Better yet, sod off and be quiet whilst you wait for your buddies to finally do your bidding for you, its not like we don't all know what's really going on with your "I'm the bait" act.

I've also asked this before, but it clearly needs repeating as I don't think I received an answer.

What's with this bizarre, ongoing obsession?

For months now you've been desperately trying to attach Bjorn's name to every bit of drama you can find. Every decision he made, every action someone else took, every rumour you overheard somehow becomes another opportunity to unload another bunch of poison on us.

He's retired. Gone. Dead. Yet here you are, still trying to keep him centre stage because apparently you just can't let him go.

Its long past the stage of rivalry, it's genuinely creepy and at some point you need to ask yourself whether you're actually looking for answers or whether you just enjoy keeping someone else's name in your mouth.

For the love of God, anyone who knows the history of him, the hitlisting had zero to do with his retirement. And I do not think/beleive this was a cowardly situation. I define it as "the straw that broke the camel's back." Like him or not, I  would bank on it when I say, "He left with his dignity in tact." 

Matty is correct. This is a poor effort and I honestly think you can do better. This seemed rushed. If your career ambition is "Shit Stirring Specialist", you should try to be good at it. Go to Kuku for tutelage. Oh wait, he's dead. Declined one of my majestic organized crime invitations, if you can believe that. Booted his ass right out of the buggy.

That being said, $20,000.00 tip for using "gaced" properly in a sentence.

Enricho stopped for a moment to read a random interaction that had been written into history. Confused by what ever this civilian family line was going on about this time, he threw the sheets into the trash and set them on fire without reading further. Who the hell? I knew who Bjorn was, but I must be confused and these people must've became names in these streets then died quickly after? Or do I just not know my history on the names within lineages and he used those names? Fuck it. Enricho shook his head trying to shake the situation from becoming a permanent memory. "Man, that family is really fuckin weird. I'll have to make a point to never try any of their drugs." Enricho had said to himself as he grabbed a proper news paper.

Matty Your city purged one of his members (Just like he purged out Melis of an NY crew). He got the heat for it, hitlists, etc. Your city did not back him up enough. He's dead. SALT comes first. SALT is center stage. Again, he is dead, and shamefully so.

But to answer your question Matty, Bjorn was always easy bait, reactionary (Melis?), sometimes ANGEREY(sp)... Again, speculative, but perhaps that relates to some of the events leading up to the dual suicide. 

Flippy, there's no dignity in that retirement; that's delusional. You still haven't explained what else happened. You know so much. 

Thank you Elijah_Yoder. Perhaps I could've done better, but I did get lil Matty ruffled, no ridges.  

Winston steps forward and starts to speak 

"maybe we should go after the people who keep killing Spike, its a travesty that a amazing person like him should have to only live at the most 3 days"

"also killing some one constantly cold be bloodlinning?"

Winston takes a pull from his hip flask

"at any rate this does seem to be a case of shutting the door after the horse has bolted"

Freixenet loves a good fight and declares we all get naked and have a big ole mud wrestle. A bit of a royal rumble type thing with the winner being decided by the most naked handstands done in an hour. You can kick and punch your way around in that time

You really can't help yourself, can you?

The funniest part for me is that you think "I got Matty ruffled" is some sort of achievement, when in reality people only reply because you've once again turned up repeating whatever gossip you've managed to collect.

Then there's the bit that says far more about you than it ever could about Bjorn.

You openly admit you saw him as "easy bait". You're proudly telling everyone that you deliberately singled someone out and spent months poking and prodding, doing everything you could to get a negative reaction because, in your opinion, they were an easy target.

Then you have the nerve to throw around words like "dignity", "shamefully" and "delusional". The lack of self-awareness is honestly staggering.

Margot is out for her nightly stroll and finds herself stopping to listen to the raised and sometimes angry voices of the crowd gathered around many newspaper stands trying to decide if it warrants the delay of her stroll. Finding herself mildly interested in the banter back and forth but not enough to stay as she finds herself weaving to and fro through the crowd to continue meandering down the street to her townhouse where she enters and slides the bolt lock into place for the night.

@Thank you, Matty. I mean, I also have singled out several others... Did I not go on about Roley the Rat (or that Buu is going to Rogue)? Have I brought up Aizen's inactivity, incessantly? Carlo_Tiscalli and his ineptness with picking hands and low activity? Have I not discussed Remus and WS catching? I can do that more if you like. 

Just because you want to be defensive of Boiling Bjorn doesn't mean I'm wrong. I don't particularly know you, and I don't really know if you know me much, other than that I am on a opposing side to Bjorn-Peeps and Numbers peeps. But I am here to help you if you need it. Perhaps we can schedule some time for therapy together. I will help you get through this, and you will grow as a better person. 

So your defence to being someone who deliberately bullies and harasses people is that it's fine because you do it to several others?

What's worse is that you've seemingly convinced yourself it's somehow noble because you're the one doing it. But yeah, apparently I'm the one who needs therapy to become a better person.

"I don't particularly know you, and I don't really know if you know me much."

I can't even begin to imagine why I'd want absolutely nothing to do with you.

Was Buu not a rogue? Is Aizen not inactive? Is Carlo not a falure? Did Remus shoot things and WS catch? Did Bjorn not suicide in a pitiful way? I am glad to provide the service to you and everyone else of bringing attention to such issues. The only reason you get upset is because you want to be contrarian in defense of your less than middling pals. 

I can't even begin to imagine why that is either! I have made an appointment for you for tomorrow evening at 6:00 P.M. sharp. Your session will begin then, lil Matty pie. This one is free. 

Sydney, led to the streets following Archy’s always full pockets, stopped a couple steps behind her Don. She peeked around him to listen to the rambling man. Her eyebrow raised as she tried to keep up with all the nonsense he was speaking. She tugged on Matty’s jacket and he leaned his head down to her. She spoke very softly her eyes not leaving the ranting lunatic. 

“I’ve heard rumors that there is a place in Philly where they kept ..unwell.. people locked behind closed doors and away from the public. Did this man escape? Should we send for somebody?”

She pulled out her nail file and started to file her pointed nails as she stood and listened to the rumors and conspiracies.

Will there be snacks provided for the theories mentioned? Just curious since this seems to still be continuing much longer than I thought it would. 

Zephyra. There will be Pepsi for you. So much Pepsi. You're going to get that Pepsi fountain one day. You will swim in it. We will also get you a slushie machine for the summer. Pepsi Slushies.
