Luxuria stands on a nearby street corner. She warms her hands near a trashcan fire as she gathers her thoughts. This thing, this world has been a whole new experience. Her sister, her sister's mother and her ancestors have been to these stores but never her own self or her mother. As she holds her hands to the fire she starts telling her story of how she came into this Mafia lifestyle.

I came from across the ocean. my sister and I lived with our father. She took care of everything until one day she had gotten herself into trouble. The extra money that she had that went to buying me treats and new clothes she had gotten from seedy adventures. She had written letters to our father in hopes that he and I would join her in America. Our father did not heed her warnings and was soon found dead in a drug war.

Luxuria sighs as she recalls the news.

My sister wrote me a little note inviting me to join her in America. I used the money she sent and got on a boat. It was a long trip. Weeks later I was standing on the New York docks looking for her. It appears that some bad news was coming my way as a friend of the family told me that Jezebel was gunned down in a war that gone down between some cities.

my knees buckled after hearing and i could see the time that we have spend together flash before my eyes. what was i to do now? i went searching for a family that would take me in as one of their own, and i turned to NSW for help since he knew my sister from before.

days have passed since the incident and many more people have fallen, it seems that everyone my sister was involved with have passed the same way she did. I know she put up a fight and didn't go down easy, but now its my turn to live her life and help in anyway that i can... 

Heres to a new life and a new beginning!

"thank you that's very kind of you!"  

i walk up to the man with a cigarette in my hand, "got a light?" i say with a smile.

"whats your name sir?" as i stand there waiting for a light

I lean forward to light my cigerette.

"nice to meet you Michael my name is Luxuria, but people call me Lust"

"oh thank you thats too kind, know any good bars around here?"

stands there as mike wraps his coat around me.

"i wouldn't mind the walk actually, it will be nice to look around" i give a smile at mike.

as i walk down the street with mike i start to look around the city taking in all the beauty.

"actually ive only been here for a week now, tried to get here earlier, but didnt seem to happen."

"across the ocean no where special, how about you?"

"I was staying with friends but i think i out stayed my welcome." i giggle

"im sure i can find a hotel here somewhere."

"i wouldnt want to impose on you."

"Well if you say so then, thank you for the offer Michael." 

I go to reach the handle of the door to the bar, but to my surprise mike had already took it upon him self to be such a gentlemen, 

As mike hold the door open I look him in the eyes, blush and thank him kindly.
