Beowulf comes forward in the streets and looks to those around, he particularly wants the attention of the leaders of the families who would hopefully understand where he is coming from and support the Wolf Pack in its coming changes.

"Greetings to all, and special greetings to the crew leaders among us. To the Godfathers and Godmothers, respects."

He takes a deep breath before continueing. "I come today to announce a sad moment for me personally and on behalf of the Wolf Pack. Since taking this position several weeks back, I've found myself in an unfortunate situation which over the last two or three weeks has prevented me from putting enough effort into the safe and effective running of the Wolf Pack. I've brought up my concerns to ScipitaRourke and have gained her authorization for the following change."

"Effective tonight, I am Authing Paul_Vidi, my RHM, to take command of the Wolf Pack. He has asked to keep the name and this I have also authorized. Tonight, he will begin moving into his new HQ. I ask that families take into account that this transition will involve many sponsored mafiosos to be seen as unsponsored for a few minutes while they are dropped and readded over the next few days. Please insure all take this into account as I do not want to see the death of any members of the Wolf Pack during this transition."

"Once the transition of all pack members is complete, I'll abolish my HQ and rejoin ScipitaRourke, I ask that I not be shot at during that transition either."

Beowulf nods his head to the crowd, "Thank you to all the CLs and members who have worked with me and with the Wolf Pack over the past weeks. It is truly appreciated, and I ask you continue to continue your friendships with Paul_Vidi and the rest of my pack members."

"So with the sad news out of the way, let me say Congratulations to Paul_Vidi, authed by ScipitaRourke and Beowulf to take over the Wolf Pack of Philly."

Steps forward after Beowulf finishes.

"Beowulf it has been a pleasure serving under you and I look forward to a bright future leading the family you started you have left some big shoes to fill. To all the Leaders and mafioso I look forward to a prosperous tenure in Philly with the wolf pack. Please feel free to contact me should you ever need anything. Thank you to ScipitaRourke and Beowulf for your faith in me."

Steps to Beowulf and embraces him.

:New to the pack, Cosmo is surprised to hear the news:

Wow.  Congratulations, Vidi, old friend.  I am not surprised that Beowulf has entrusted you with this responsibility.  I have known you to be a loyal friend and a hard worker.  I am sure that you will find this position well within the scope of your ability, and we will not let this speedbump deter us from taking this crew to the top.  Together.

:Shakes the hand of his new boss:

Gaius nodded towards his life long friend beowulf and lights a smoke asking beowulf to borrow his lighter, As gaius lights his smoke he remembers when the man bought this solid gold lighter... what a waste of cash gaius thought.

My friend, I am saddened this day, I celebrated with you as you did with me when I setup my crew. I was hoping we would have a long and lasting relationship not only as brothers, and friends, but also as leaders in this thing of ours. When you do find time, look me up eh?

Congratulations Paul, one word of advice, your stepping into some big shoe's, you need help, you come see me. We'll get you squared away.

"Gaius I thank you for your offer and I will do my best to fill the giant paw prints that Beowulf has left behind. I look forward to building a lasting relationship."

*Pushes his way through the common citizens on the streets to address any Mafioso who will allow this lowly Gangster to give a few words on the occasion* 

Beowulf, Sir, you and Vidi have given me a great opportunity by inviting me into this family. As I have not any experience to speak of as of yet, I will say that this family is clearly one deserving of great respect, and I am honored to have served under you Beowulf, and will continue to be equally honored to serve under you, Vidi. I will do all I can, be it little as of now, to uphold the great reputation of this family. Congratulations Vidi.

Beowulf,

The last few days have been difficult for me, seeing my boss fading away, my boss I know had all the qualities this world needed to run the show.
"The real thing" came and took you away from me. Way to soon, you would have shown us some amazing things.
I'm impressed you faced the facts and decided together with me what is best for your crew and you didn't let it just drag along, you really cared.
Jono is currently making arrangements to redecorate your place in our HQ, we missed you and even your bloody hard crytograms...
Giving your crew to Paul_Vidi was a good choice, one I fully support.

Thank you for your time, motivation and brilliant ideas. You laid an excellent foundation for The Wolf Pack.

ScipitaRourke hugs Beowulf tightly.

Oh yes, Scipita says while turning to the crowd, if all goes by plan this transaction will go smoothly meaning there shouldn't be any unsponsereds walking around... However, it can happen someone is unsponsered for a bit due to difficulties, therefore I ask you to be extremely carefull when taking a shot at anyone with home city Philadelphia and just to make it easier on you here's a list of the people;

Il_Siciliano | Vito_T | Sonny-Luciano | Versailles | Quirinus | MichaelWesten | Nick-Vitalli | Vinny_Corleone
| Auset | Schism | Mr_Nerd | WolfgangVonErick | Sergei_Temnikova | Sapling | RickShavez | DevilDog

If leaders have any questions about this, feel free to contact me any time.

Paul_Vidi,

First of all, congratulations!

Though the circumstances are a bit "different" from how one usually starts his own crew they also sound right to me.
Your boss is retiring, you're second in command and proven yourself well worthy. It makes only sense you as previous Right Hand Man takes over the crew.
You helped building it, you helped running it and you did a great job so far. It wasn't rocket science when Beowulf and me sat down the other day that it would be you to take over.
Thank you for stepping up when needed and godspeed.

As ever,

ScipitaRourke

Paul_Vidi, my friend we go way back. Im proud to see you achieve this, and wish you the best. Stay in contact and may your family do great things.

Xerxes steps out of the crowd, takes his hat off, and starts speaking while facing Beowulf

Mr. Beowulf, although I have not interacted with you very much, I know you are a man of honor, integrity, loyalty and intellect. I remember when I was a young inexperienced boy on the streets, you came up to me and gave me the best and most needed advice. You were not trying to recruit me, unlike others. You told me to look around, talk to families and their leaders and to make sure that I'm a suitable match before making such commitment.  That meant the world to me. From then on, I knew this was my family.

Xerxes faces Paul and continues speaking

One day, while I was walking down these dark streets, in my deep thoughts of how to survive in this vicious world, just as I had finished snatching a purse from an old lay, I saw a well clothed man standing on the side of the street.  I caught a glimpse of him while trying not to look and attract any attention. In that small moment, I noticed his welcoming smile at me which gave me a sense of comfort. It was Paul, and I found out that he was part of the Wolf Pack. He did not offer to give me money nor did he ask me to join the family in return for any help he provided me with, unlike others. I started talking to Paul, I would ask questions from him and even though he had no obligation towards me, he would answer my endless questions with a smile. He taught me how to handle different situations.

I started seeing a trend in the Beowulf family. Honor, integrity, loyalty, looking out and taking care of the weaker, helping others without wanting anything in return. These qualities to me, meant a complete pack life.  It gave me the sense of belonging, something that I've be searching for, all my life. You gentlemen and the rest of the pack gave me these and here I am standing before you today.

Xerxes continues talking to Beowulf and Paul with a strong sense of pride being felt from his deep voice

I thank you both for creating such family in an unforgiving world like this. Thank you for giving the Wolf Pack the honor and support to be a member of the greatest family in this world. Beowulf, I'd like to with nothing but good luck on your journey of life and if there is anything that I can help you with and you see me worthy of it, please give me the honor to help.

Mr. Paul, I do not have the slightest bit of doubt that you will excel as a leader and as an elder of our family, as you have up to this point. You have been a great role model to me and I wish to learn much more from you. You can count on me and my life for the needs of our family, and as you see fit. I hope you see me worthy of anything that I can be of an assistance, for the way of our family. 

Thank you for giving me the opportunity, pleasure, honor and the time to speak with you today.

Xerxes puts his had back on and walks back into the crowd

Congratulations Paul_Vidi, it is always a pleasure to see someone's hard work pay off. May not be the best of circumstances but nonetheless i know you will succeed and wish you the best of luck.

Well...

What to say? I'm very sad to see see Bewoulf having to step down. He was a great leader. Nothing was to much for him. Might not have been the most vocal of leaders in the streets but when he spoke in his HQ. They all listened. He commanded respect from his members and got it.

Paul_Vidi echoes what Beowulf achieved and will carry it on until his dying breath. Congratulations Paul. I know you will do Philadelphia proud.

Cedric steps forward out of the crowd to make himself known and visible.

"Beowulf, I have heard nothing but great things about you amongst the people on the streets and although we have never spoken before, I tend to believe all the good things they say. From my viewings of you walking these streets and keeping your wolfpack in order, it seems to me like you are a man that I respect. I hope you nothing but the best, and if you need anything just give me a shout."

Cedric hands Beowulf his business card.

"Paul_Vidi, I know they have choosen a great person to take over the reigns of the Wolfpack. I congratulate you on this honor, and can't wait to see what you can do!"

Congratulations Paul_Vidi. I wish you all the best of luck and hope to see you and your family grow in the future.

Professor-X steps forward

Beowulf, it was you that brought me into this business and I thank you for it. You watched me progress through the family and I watched you do the same. I am sorry that this had to happen this way my friend. In regards to Paul Vidi, I am honored to see this responsibilty be bestowed upon you.

Straz steps out and takes a breath and readys for what he's about to say. Straz walks to Beowulf, grabs his hand like you would do in a handshake but neither, Straz or Beowul are shaking hands

Beowulf, I know that you are an ideal person for a crew leader and you always will. I agree with Scipita, you would've done some amazing things... Good things! Especially for Philadelphia. But I hope this doesn't stop you from reaching those goals. The problems you have today, I do hope they will change to better and allow you to do your best again. First though, work out the other things that have grown so big to be a problem to stop you from being fully concentrated.

Straz shakes Beowulfs hand firmly and takes a step back and walks over to Paul_Vidi and does the same thing again. Grabs the hand and holds it...

I have no doubt in my mind, neither Scipita or Beowulf would entrust you this job if you weren't up for it. I've known you for a while know and I also know you are the perfect candidate for Beowulf's shoes. Beowulf was to do amazing things to Philadelphia, and to Wolf Pack but he didn't have enough time to execute his plans what ever they were, but you... I know... I know! You will do amazing things or die trying!

Straz steps back, turns towards Beowulf and bows.Then Straz turns towards to Paul_Vidi and bows.

Thank you both for your time and good luck. See you tonight though, I heard that Jono is buying us all a dinner!

Beowulf, It is a sad day indeed to see you let go of the reins. I do echo Straz's statement in that I hope you reach the heights you once were at in the future.

As for Don Paul_Vidi, I know you will prove to be just as capable. Now is the time to show your quality.

I am saddened to hear that Beowulf is relinquishing his position.  He is a truly deserving individual who has earned the respect of many in this thing of ours.  But I am pleased to hear that my good friend, Paul_Vidi, will get his opportunity to shine.  I can't wait to see what he brings to the table to make Philadelphia an even better city than it already is.

Henry steps forward and address Beowulf "Sir you took me in and gave me a reason to be you guided the pack as only the Alpha Wolf could i will miss you but i know you will always be a proud member of the Wolf pack, Mr Vidi you have been a mentor to me and have helped to guide me along my path and i will follow you and the pack into the very jaws of Death and beyond, Long live the pack"
