| The Great Gatsby | Started by: Duplicity on Sep 05, '15 01:08 |
|
Duplicity was headed towards the grand mansion that Gatsby called home. She never understood how one man could enjoy a house that could hold twenty. She enjoyed her simple town home in uptown Chicago. Yet, everyone had their own tastes and Gatsby enjoyed a grand entrance. There was nothing small in how Gatsby did things. The boy had started with her and worked his way up. His loyalty to her was never one to be questioned. When she asked him to follow Cerebellum and help lead, he nodded and stepped up. He worked very hard under Cerebellum and Duplicity had noticed it. Of course his charm was always something that captured those he worked with. He was great with anyone he met and she knew this was something she needed with her. Even though his way of life was far from how Duplicity lived, it was time for his life to move ahead again and step up once again. She knew he would enjoy the limelight. This was where he belonged. He always enjoyed the light shining down on him. Whereas Duplicity enjoyed the shadows. She enjoyed being the one behind the scenes. So she was going to let him enjoy this while she sat back. Her car arrived in front of the mansion and there he was, just waiting to greet her. Her driver opened the door and the two greeted each other warmly. Gatsby quickly ushered her into his home and threw his left arm forward to let her see how huge the first room was when you entered. Duplicity shook her head, but he did get her to smile. He nodded as he knew she wanted to get down to business and not have the whole tour tonight. "So what brings you to my humble abode?" Duplicity eyed him, he smirked as she knew this was hardly a humble abode. "Business." Gatsby looked around at all those employed by him and he understood. She wanted to go somewhere that prying ears wouldn't be. So they headed to his den. Upon arriving he offered her a seat and then took one across from her. "What kind of business?" Duplicity took out her purse and then laid a key on the desk before them. "Your business. I want you to open up shop. I would like to see the great Gatsby have his own go at things." He stared at her, he was surprised at the words that came out of her mouth. Then he smiled, the excitement began to swell up in him. He really was going to have everything he wanted. "I will do my best for you." Duplicity nodded and then the two embraced. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek, which made him raise an eyebrow. "Good luck my old friend. I know you will do great." |

Cerebellum approached Gatsby with a smile... "You have done great, my friend. It saddens me to see you leave, but you have earned this. I am here anytime you need me." After a quick hug, Cerebellum looked Gatsby in the eyes... "Gratzi, my friend!" |

Hearing the good news, Seeyara went to Gatsby. Although she was aware that he doesn't know her personally or maybe really never really heard about her, she still walked straight to him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "I have heard a lot about you, I am sure you will do great for the city of Chicago. Congratulations Mr. Gatsby. Cheers!" |

Listening to Duplicity announce the new move Dick gets excited for his friend. Yes it's not to hard to excite Dick but this worked him up so much he exploded in the crowd, with his words you pervs.
"Congratulations my friend Gatsby. This is well deserved, as a part of Chicago outfit you filled in when the boss wasn't around perfectly. You made everyone feel as if the leader was still around. True leaders have that ability, the ability to turn heads the moment they walk into the room. You have that natural uncanny ability Sir and it will only shine now that you have a Family to call your own in the wonderful city of Chicago. Wise choice Duplicity, and if you'd like to make unwise choice Man' you'd allow me to take you out to the local speakeasy sometime!" Dicks not icicles the boss lady giving him the evil eye, so one eye split back to his bakery to enjoy a muffin and a smile. |

The news of the Great Gatsby had made it to the streets. Chicago was buzzing with another of their own authorized to lead a crew, a family, a branch on the business tree that stretched all the way across to New York. It was an ever growing connection and having heard from a source that Gatsby was the newest to sprout a shot at the big time, Sereno made it a point to congratulate the man. The two were newly acquainted on a personal level, yet Gatsby had been known about this thing for a little while. His skills in speaking before the masses had impressed Sereno. He had been amongst it in the Streets and the two had crossed paths on more than one occasion. Being out here was something Sereno enjoyed, and he felt the old sport genuinely did too. After a day of attending to clients, stock and business with Evolution, Sereno took a moment. As he entered the communal area at HQ he took a seat away from the general crowd. The usually lively bar was quieter than usual. A drink of Old Forrester whisky accompanied him as he took a seat toward the back of the venue. He removed his suit jacket, placed it over the back of the chair and took a seat. After a few moments of relaxing and sipping away on the glass of neat whisky, the barman arrived at the table and handed Sereno a few things. A Doric fountain pen, some paper and an envelope, as requested. Sereno casually rolled back his sleeves, set the paper in place and took another sip of his drink before handling the Wahl-Eversharp pen and writing his congratulatory letter.
After carefully scribbling away his thoughts on paper, the letter was folded then sealed in an envelope and placed down on the table. Sereno noticed one of his associates walking over. He knew it was time to leave. The last of the glass of Old Forrester's made it's way down his oesophagus. Sereno caught the attention of his associate and before anything was said he simply nodded in his direction, stood up and grabbed his suit jacket. The letter was next to be retrieved, then lastly the elegant pen. The men made their way through the family bar. Before leaving, the pen was handed back to the bartender and so too the letter. The bartender had already been given instructions, so he knew to send this out immediately with the case of King's Ransom. The night ahead of them would be one of travelling and soon enough they'd be in New York. A bottle of his favourite whisky found it's way out with them. It would be needed for the long 16 hour train ride ahead. |

Caveman, a gentle beast with few words toasted Gatsby.
Congratulations old sport. I couldn't think of someone more deserving of this opportunity. It gives me great pleasure to be apart of something special. |

Side stepping the champagne and picking up a glass of orange juice I raise it in salute to Gatsby. I have hoped for awhile you would get the chance to lead a family and I am happy to become part of your adventure. Here's to the present and future cheers everyone. |

Appelsap had not been late in some time but now he was. he had heard that Gatsby was getting his own place but he forgot about it because he was in the middle of a torching a rival business. So when he was looking for Gatsby just to have a nice cup of coffee with the man he heard that he could be found in his own place. So appelsap had taken the first car he saw and (even though it was owned by a old couple) he took the car to the new HQ that Gatsby had set up and walked towards the door. As appelsap knocked on the door it swung right open. And Gatby stood there with a great big smile.
"Congrats on your own new place Gatsby, I hoop i may take the tour of this place if you have sometime to show me around? O and I almost forgot. I brought you some nice aged Apple sider just as a gift. because everyone needs some nice applejuice in there place" |

The reflection of the green light shimmered in the streets. The smell of rain in the windy city was bringing a sort of refreshment alluding to something new. With all the changes in the world, Visas moving to Detroit, Senza moving districts, Kimble and Technical being authed. The world was beaming with activity. Gatsby took the key and played with it in his hands while making eye contact with Duplicity. When his butler opened the doors to the back of his mansion and he saw so many of his gathered friends there congratulating him and throwing him a party he was most joyful inside. His heart, full and swinging. Singers were singing and dancers dancing. It felt as if Gatsby had done something that was impossible. It felt as if Gatsby was the king of the world. Great to see you old sport how are you? Shaking hands and hearing praise he felt like a god. Everyone affirming him and enjoying the party. Richard had just received the new crew emblem from Bespoke. Very fitting for a crew that ran with Gatsby. Still he looked throughout the room. He didn't find who he was looking for. Maybe she knew not of the party. Maybe she wasn't coming. His eyes immediately met the green light on the dock across the lake. A shadow walked in front of it and a man approached Gatsby. Well i am honored to be here old sport thank you for coming here and supporting me! Continuing to shake hands Gatsby was now at the point where he realized it would be somewhat important for him to say something. He stood out in front of the crowd on his balcony. Staring into the eyes of some of his closest friends he decided to be very forward. Gatsby was always a man full of hope. It was time for him to let his hope show. We will be the Self Inspired. I want to tell you all that this crew is unlike anything you will ever see. I want to tell you that i plan on not just making my family proud but this entire city. Chicago will love what i will bring. I will give you everything i have. I did not start this life expecting a crew and up until Duplicity told me i was going to have one i truthfully did not want one. I began to grow excited at the thought of what i could bring to you all. My door is and always will be open to anyone and everyone in this city. To my friends outside this city, i am who i am largely due to you and your efforts of forming me to become someone i never thought i would be. I have not forgotten you. I will not forget you. I am thankful for you all. Fireworks going off in the background. Bodyguards and musicians gangsters and wiseguys standing next to Dons and made men. Gatsby pointed in the air and smiled. My city, My family has to be like this old sport. It has to keep going up. Now, lets get back to our little party. |

Although Henri had at first been a little saddened at his friends departure, he learned to live without Gatsby around the HeadQuarters. The sadness did not last long, however. Ever since he had joined as an Associate of the Chicago Outfit he had been impressed with the poise and coolness that Gatsby held himself with. He could party with the best of them and wake up the next morning to knock over a bank, and in the same day get into a respectable debate without lowering himself to Thuggish tendencies. No, even in a heated argument Gatsby was always able to stay levelheaded. It was he that had extended Henri an invite to Chicago, and though it was Cerebellum that had promoted him to Made Man, he knew he owed a large part of his success thus far to Gatsby. After meandering around the shadows listening to others give their congratulations, Henri approached Gatsby and merely shook his hand, nodding in appreciation and respect. He'd said all he wanted to say on the subject privately, but knew that Gatsby would love the sight of him out and about in the Streets. |
