During a leisurely stroll down Chicago's business Boulevard, you glance to the left only to have your gaze stolen entirely from your own free will. Your eyes are unable to remove themselves from a vision of such grandeur; an architectural feat that would strip the Sistine Chapel of her dignity. From the flag held aloft in the Chicago sky by a soaring steel pole to the hand-carved stone walls, this is a place that represents artistry and creation at its best; enormous double doors with intricate ebony and ivory embellishments are poised and ready to open while a large marble staircase cascades onto the street, inviting new feet to come and tread the boards of new business.
As you find yourself drawing near, a figure becomes apparent, a man of many tentacles and obvious stature. He stands at the mouth of the building, shoulders thrown back and chin aloft with pride as he wields a pair of golden scissors over a red ribbon.
Ladies and gentlemen, fellow Chicagoans and mobsters alike, it is with great pleasure that I descend upon the streets of my beloved city in order to announce the opening of my new boutique, Tailored Tentacles.
Whether you be the hardiest of Dons or the freshest of new blood upon our shores, I invite you all to come inside, browse my wares and allow me to provide you with an outfit that will last a lifetime. Image isn't everything in this world, but by the beard of Zeus, it sure helps to look good. As you can see, I take meticulous care in my own personal appearance and it would be my privilege to provide my services to people of all cities.
Godfather SquidMaster steps forward, flicks a single tentacle over his shoulder and cuts the ribbon to uproarious applause, smiling widely as he produces his pipe from an invisible pocket and sets about packing it with premium tobacco. As he lights the barrell, he raises his head once more to address the crowd.
Prices are $300,000 across the board, a reasonable request considering the quality you will receive. By all means, ladies and gentlemen, stop by anytime and we'll discuss your preferences thoroughly in order to achieve your ideal look. Clearly, I know a thing or two about style and flair. I've travelled far and wide across the seven seas, absorbing many cultures and trends and acquiring much knowledge. Let me bestow my gift upon you all.
Looking to his left, he sees his trusted secretary, Lilac_Delaney... waiting to help a needy customer inside the new tailoring outfit... turning back to the crowd he begins to speak...
All orders will need to be processed with my secretary, Lilac. She will be turning and informing me of which individual will be needing a suit Tailored, afterall I am a busy man and the last thing I need is my inbox cluttering up with order forms!
All at once, the Godfather's tentacles rise to attention and usher the crowds inside the boutique as the man himself puffs on his pipe and ascends the stairway in two long strides, chuckling at the excitement his new venture had brought to the Boulevard. |
