| What happened today. | Started by: Iris on Sep 03, '08 16:53 |

She drags herself to the stoop behind her warehouse, her hair a mess.. The shadows under her eyes dark and bruised looking. She sits down and places her head in her hands. Closing her eyes she starts to drift off as the breeze cools her face. Hearing a noise she wakes up, her hand on her holster.. Seeing it is just an old friend she relaxes. I guess you want the full story. Well, there really isn't much to it. Alessia, Czar, and StonedSilent heard a bunch of bullshit and acted on it. They declared war on The Java Cartel and our allies. We did not start this war, but we sure as fuck fought hard to finish it. Catching the scent of fresh brewed coffee she accepts the mug from her trusty man of arms Hector. Taking a sip she continues. In the wee hours of the morning I was awoken by several phone calls only to hear that Alessia and her allies had killed my Captain Kangaroo. My heart shattered but I was awake and ready to go, okay I was still groggy but wouldn't you be? Daera had come to our defence immediately. He's a good guy he is. By the time I was present the war had begun. Yes, a lot of people died. That happens in a war. You stand by your family until the bitter end. She sips her coffee and reflects. What did people expect? Us to roll over and take it? No, along with Daera, Marietta, and Branston we defended our homes and our honour. I'm not going to go into details, it's all pretty obvious what followed. To those from Alessia, Czar, and StonedSilent's families who lost loved ones today, I am sorry. It was not by choice that we went to war, it was out of necessity. Please stop mailing me calling me a dumb cunt and threatening me.. Your parents' bosses are the ones who started this war. Not us. We just did what any family would, we defended ourselves. You see, our family is not one that is in Philly only, even though Marietta and Daera have their own families now in their own cities.. We are still united. We are still one. I am one of the luckiest women in the world to have the people I do behind me. Again, for all who lost loved ones today, I am sorry... I hope we can take the time to rebuild what we have lost today for it was the furthest thing from my mind when I went to bed last night. I was content and happy with how things were.. She finishes off her coffee and smiles with exhaustion. With that, I bid you adieu. I have many funerals to attend and pay my respects. Thank you Daera, Marietta, and Branston for everything.. And thank you to the members of all three families for coming together and proving what it means to be family. I am forever indebted to you. She stands up and returns to her offices, the doors closing behind her. |

VagInATube rolls down the street, riding on the momentum of a kick administered by some ne'er-do-well. Aside from the minor inconvenience of hurtling down a dirty stretch of tarmac, VagInATube was enjoying the sensation of juices swishing around inside. The calming state of bliss was not to last however. A few feet down the road stands Iris, the feared crime family head. Unfortunately for VagInATube she stands bang smack in the middle of it's current trajectory. The inevitable happens and with a thud VagInATube collides with the relative behemoth. There is a sickening crack, the tube shattering and sending TheVag flopping out into the open. Unable to maintain cohesion it begins to ooze all over Iris' shoe. She is completely unaware hoever and continues to deliver her masterful speech. Even the masses do not seem to notice TheVag's predicament as it continues to flail around wildly. Eventually however, TheVag is subjugated by emotional pain and finally lays still. "Why does no one care? Why wont anyone help me?" ring aloud within it's tearful mind. |

I may not wear the Java Cartel armband anymore, but it is still my family. An attack on Iris is an attack on me, and will be treated as such. It was an honor to rally the troops to the fight and to work with many outstanding individuals in bringing an end to this attack. We did not initiate this attack. No matter what rumors or innuendo may say, there were no plans of any kind to launch an assault on Alessia. We did, however, end the attack. It is a shame that it happened this way, but I suppose the outcome was all but inevitable. To the fallen from the Allied Families, words cannot express the sorrow at your losses. |

The unknown YaYa listens intently to what Iris and Daera have said, nodding in agreement and feeling a slight piece of satisfaction that he helped out somewhat "It was amazing that all of us pulled together under attack. All of the big cheeses did most the work, but id like to give a special tribute to the little guys who helped. Just generally everyone, Im proud to be a part of The Pickle Posse and to be associated with everyone from the allied families" "3 cheers for everyone!!" Raises his hands and begins to Jump up and down, "Hip-Hip - Hoooray!!, Hip-Hip - Hooooray!!!, HIP-HIP - HOOOOOORAY!!! |

Marietta nods solemnly to herself, listening as everyone else stands and adds their part to the tale of the night and morning's events. At a lull in the conversation the blond woman takes a deep breath and holds her head high, looking across the gathered masses with wide, shining green eyes. I too, like Daera, feel a strong connection to the Java Cartel. When I was at a low point in my early crime life career I was saved by a strong woman by the name of Iris. She took me in and made me one of her own, then granted me the highest of honors by putting my name forward to eventually become the head of my own family. For all of these things and more she forever has my loyalty and friendship. It took no deliberation (but several cups of coffee, yes) on my part to come to her aid. The attack came at an inopportune time, yes, but I think despite the small hiccups here and there we managed to ward off all danger to our families. Taking a deep breath the young woman allows her head to hang, her eyes sweeping across the ground and focusing in on her black high heels. Speaking lowly she feels her chest constrict in a painful emotion. To all of those that died today, rest in peace. I hope many of your children will have seen the errors of their ways for generations to come. And to the innocent... such is the way of our life. May your own offspring have the chance to start over anew. |

| I would love to see the strong bonds that have been made through this experience come out of this and lead our families to a golden era. This was devastating, but I really hope the people up top can help the new ones get on their feet in this world. | |

Much is blurry for such children as I that even in my mothers diary knew nothing, obviously it will stay such and that is no problem. I'm too damn curious for my own good. Sleep Tight to all those who died innocent and to all those who died for what they belived. To the children of the dead... As every generation must, we step up and do what we can. Good luck to all in Our Life. |

What to say about the events that unfolded. Well really stupidity would be one word that springs to mind. Why it was done madness, but then who knows what went on inside Alessia's HQ it's not like there was much activity from her family in the streets. Rest easy all the innocent who died, as for those who caused this bloodshed. Well your were you belong I only hope your children can learn from your mistakes. |

My brother's name was Alejandro. He was a crew of the late Mr. Kangaroo (god bless him). He died during the war because he took the wrong way by joining the other family. When he realized it, everything was too late. I guess all of us must pay the consequences of what we've done. I miss my big-brother. On his behalf, I send regards to Don Iris. He said it will be an honor if he had the chance meet the Don. |

I may be wrong...but I'm pretty sure StonedSilent was only participating to back up his ally Alessia and her family. But the past is the past, life goes on. |

She steps outside for a brief moment. I feel I should make a few corrections as more information finds its way back to me through the relatives of those that died today... Czar wasn't informed of what was going on and my references to him as a co-conspirator are misplaced and untrue. I have it on good authority that he was in the dark about a lot of the events that unfolded here. I apologize to the son of Czar for inferring that his father knew what was going to happen and naming him as an attacker. StonedSilent gave his word to Alessia that he would back her in any situation, this he did today. Whether or not he wanted to do it is between him and God now. He stood up for his family and showed a tremendous amount of loyalty. He knew what the outcome would be but still kept at it. A truly admirable trait. I hope that we can move on and start rebuilding this place we love so much. Many lives were lost today and nurturing the children arriving on our shores should be our priority. We will be announcing new auths and captains in the next 48 hours so we ask you to be patient and keep your guns holstered. As always the 48-hour rule is in place. Like it, love it, hate it.. It's in effect as always. Thank you for your support, your hate, and your indifference. It means the world to me. She nods in respect to those listening and goes back to work cleaning up her headquarters after today's events. |
