| New Orleans | Started by: Marietta on Oct 15, '08 17:03 |

It was too cold; it was too quiet. The last time Marietta Rossi had been to New Orleans it had been lively and full of happy chatter- the usual festival fun for Mardi Gras. Not a trace of that was left as the seasons moved further into Autumn, leaving a snappy chill lingering on the gray streets with small wooden buildings. Her green eyes swept the perimeter of the doorway to the restaurant she stood outside of, noting the shudders were peeling paint and that the entire neighborhood could use a good 'fix up'. Biting her tongue to keep her thoughts to herself rather than share with the locals, Mari pushed open the door and stepped inside. The place was brightly lit and full of loud, rambunctious men and women. They all shouted over one another, competing for the limelight as they spoke. 'Perfect,' the Don of Detroit thought to herself, noting that with all the noise that she and her two associates would not be overheard. She nodded briefly at the hostess who immediately nodded back, grabbing a menu and leading the blond towards the back. A high-backed, red cushioned booth awaited her, as did one man and one woman who were softly chatting to one another. Feeling a smile crossing over her lips Marietta cleared her throat and sat down next to the woman on one side of the booth. Evening, she said, her voice cheery and upbeat. The woman nodded in return, her red hair falling over her face for a brief moment and the man smiled back. My apologies for being so tardy. I had a few other things to take care of first. You know how kids can be with guns. "Gumbo? Anything like that?" a loud talking waitress said as she approached. Marietta shook her head in a negative and waved her hand dismissively. Not at the moment, thanks. With a roll of her eyes the server stomped off towards another table, leaving the three alone in an awkward silence. Well, I suppose we'll just get started then, shall we? Marietta peeled off her leather gloves and tossed them onto the table. Folding her hands on top of the glossy, reflective surface she turned her head to face the two and address them. I'm rather glad that you two have already begun to speak with one another, Hayley and Dante. She smiled towards her long time associate Hayley before switching her gaze to Dante_Balboni, a former associate of Iris' and one of Cab_Tufting's current Made Men. Anyway, where was I? Right, so I'm sure by now you have all heard about my plan to dominate the world. Dante and Hayley exchanged a glance and Marietta let out a small chuckle. I suppose what I mean is, I'm sure you've heard of the plan we came up with regarding the Seven Cities of Crime, USA. The plan was to place two new 'starter' mob families in each of these said cities. So far it seems to be working out well. Now, before a small, out of town gathering that I had to attend, I managed to get New York and Los Angeles squared away. Since I've been back I've dedicated all my efforts into getting this moving, and today, as you can tell, I've decided to take care of New Orleans. Another glance was exchanged between the pair. "You mean...?" Hayley began to ask, looking at Marietta with wide eyes. The woman could only nod and smile in return. If you're up to it, of course, I'm definitely offering the job to you two. "Why me?" Dante asked in surprise and Marietta shook her head in amusement. I've asked around about you two, of course. Very solid, dependable people. Always ready to lend a helping hand. I think right now that's the sort of quality a city like New Orleans needs in a leader. I'm not telling you two to run around and hold hands with everyone, fuck no. I'm just saying- that this city being deserted for as long as it has- it's going to need a lot of extra care and attention to get it running again. She paused and another silence filtered in around the three. Outside of the barrier the shouting and laughter continued, yet it seemed as if time had taken on a different sort of flow within their booth. At last Dante laughed and Hayley gave an overly large smile. I'll take that as a yes, then? Marietta asked with a small smirk. "Yes!" the man and woman blurted in unison, quickly adjusting and composing back to their normal conditions. Giving a loud laugh Mari shook her head. No need to be embarrassed, this seems like that type of place. Waitress! she called, getting the attention of snotty woman from earlier. We'll take that gumbo now. Make it extra special for these two- they're very important. |

Stubs out his smoke and looks over at Don Marietta, still feeling a little shocked at what he had just heard he tries to compose himself Honestly I can say that when I joined Iris's family I never thought that I would end up here. I'm truely honoured to be given this opportunity by yourself and my own boss Cab. plus out a carefully concealed flask, takes a swig and offers it to Haley Congratulations to yourself, I look forward to working together with you and hope that we can build the city of New Orleans into the thriving place that it should be. |

Fosters hears some noise coming from the end of the street he is staggering down. He was in the middle of trying to find a newsagent to aquire a fresh 8 deck. Only yesterday, he'd managed to find 8 for just $6.50! Anyway, he decides to put off his search and listen in to the now visable, although incredibly hazy, women at the end of the street. TWO AUTHS?!?! Are my ears deceiving me!? As Fosters cries, sure enough 2 successful looking gangsters walk out behind Marrietta. Wow, good luck to the pair of you! Im sure, you'll.. urm ..what was I saying? Ahh yes! Well done! Fosters rights himself again after leaning severly to the left while he was talking, presumably he thought there was something to support him so he staggers a few feet before he gathers his balance. He turns and points towards a tobaconists and marches off in search of cheap boos |
