I’ve been dreading this moment, but I have come out here to give an explanation for the removal of Senza and her auths.  I remember many moons ago I was her Right Hand Man in a new endeavor in the South Side.  Things have definitely changed.

Senza has always been a stand up leader, and I can’t stress enough that she is also a great person. However, there came many times when Illusive caused issues, and yesterday was the last straw.  He was always a tough personality to work with and he made no qualms about it.  Anyone who was privy to the situation knew that Illusive and his wild Right Hand Man would be the undoing of Los Angeles.

First, he was overly disrespectful to RoryRourke regarding the potential transfer of a gangster, and proceeded to shoot that gangster. After that gangster was shot, he then took a pro. Now anyone knows, if you take a pro, that is a really bad sign to others, and usually you go to war or die when doing that.

However, he furthered things by dissing Eredin for which his right hand, Carnival, also participated. This was unacceptable, and Senza’s inaction was inappropriate due to other worldly ties. I do want to thank the deceased Senza. I do not want to smear her name. She was always great to have around, and the world is a lesser place without her.

A tall blonde woman pops some pills and stubs out a cigarette in her ash try. She seemed to be always smoking, although never enjoying it

"It's good to know my friends are dead over some paranoid dick-waving bullshit they had nothing to do with, Mr Kimble"

Visibly unimpressed, she gets up to leave, her steps un-coordinated and carelessly sloppy

Before leaving she makes an unexpected stop and leans against the door, facing outward

"Yet more proof, more proof in this shit-hole business you'll die like a dog for no good reason."

She lets out a sigh and stares at the pavement. Her heels make a popping sound with no particular rhythm as she walks into the rain

Miss Ashley,

I understand your frustration, however, this life we live in means choosing who you support very carefully, I have gone through times of a Godfather walking into my city and killing who they feel needs to die and walking back out, in that case you have two options, if you can do something about it you do it, if not you don't, and then you get hatred from everyone because you cannot do anything about it.

Miss Senza had both options, she could very well do something about it, on top of that she could have also just let it happen, the way it went down has not only given her great feedback for her run and what she did that run, but it has also made sure that her kin can walk these Streets without anything bad said about her based on her Mother.

Some of us on the other hand live with the decision she would have had to make to stay alive, like myself, and I can tell you now that going through that sucks and it makes you feel like shit, I for one am glad to know that my Student Senza did not have to go through the same thing I did and can continue her Mother's legacy.

Kimble, you really ought to carry shovels to pass out when you speak. The shit is knee deep.  Of course you can speak kind words of Senza. You left out the good parts.

I am sorry to see the loss of yet another city. I hope the fallen rest in peace.

Now as for what Eredin says I am going to flip it a little bit. After listening to Kimble's reasoning for the removal of LA, I do have to question Eredin's statement about Senza's next of kin continuing her mother's legacy. While I can understand that the side that Eredin followed has downsides, so does the option that Senza chose.

Of course, I do not know the ins and outs but Kimble stated she refused to act due to other worldly ties with people. Thing is, that can also weigh on her "legacy." The inability to do what's best for your city to keep your people alive weighs you down. Doing nothing and waiting to die is bad as well, as doing nothing and remaining alive. Both have their downsides.

One is not better than the other. At the end of the day death is on their hands. Deaths of her whole city in this case. While you managed to keep your members alive, scattered but alive, Eredin, most of hers are dead because she allowed disrespect. I would say that too would be a heavy blow as any.

A little part of my soul shrivels up and dies whenever I'm forced to hear of someone's "run" in the streets.

Rory climbs out of his Cadillac, it had been a hectic few days and he was glad it was all over. He lit a cigarette before addressing the situation.

Ashley, I think you have misunderstood the situation at hand here. This had nothing to do with paranoia, this had everything to do with blatant disrespect to several crew leaders, across several different cities. If you're silly enough to do that, you have to face the consequences I'm afraid. 

That being said, I have spoken to the kin of the fallen and they have no hard feelings over the deaths of their parents, and neither should you.

I echo Kimble and Eredin's sentiments regarding Senza, and it was a shame indeed that she had to die due to other worldly ties. That being said, I think no less of her following her passing and my door will always be open to her kin should they require it, Senza herself was a wonderful person.

Finishing his cigarette, Rory flicked it to the ground before rubbing it out with his boot. Tipping his hat, he climbed back into his Cadillac and it moved off. 

These are sad days when the loss of a friend is heard throughout the streets.  Many are saddened, many want revenge, and many feel a relief. Whomever you fall in with it is a loss that many feel. Remembrance is in the minds of the saddened. 

Sitting back taking in the comments being tossed around by everyone involved the lack of respect quickly becomes apparent. Asylum can't help but laugh at the joke of which people make of themselves during times such as these.

Senza dying was truly tragic. I spoke with her rarely, but she always supported my.... business ventures. She was never harsh nor was she unwilling to help please the masses by bringing durden waves to the six cities. I truly appreciated her as a leader and mobster. Though after hearing how leaders under her were acting it became apparent how business would need to be handled.

Laying a white flower on the curbside Asylum began to walk away turning back he offered one last thought.

Wherever Senzas children may roam now, I hope she finds a family that utilizes her skills. In this world having the highly respected and revered reputation such as hers is rare and great. I only hope in the future when her bloodline is leading a city she is much quicker to remove any poor leaders under her before others have to do it for her. Everyone's bloodline at some point has been guilty of being loyal to the wrong people. Mistakes happen. Rest in peace Godfather Senza and those that lost their lives in Los Angeles to do a select fews poor decisions.

Sat outside a café, Malcolm heard a heated conversation taking place on a nearby street corner. After listening in for a few minutes, he put down his newspaper and decided to offer his measured opinion.

Of course, close relatives of the departed will always be upset at the deaths of their ancestors. It is never easy to see someone who raised us, and brought us into this life, slain before our eyes. That said, it always amuses me when they then come to these streets and complain of their ancestors' innocence; of them dying for little reason.

Well, old Malcolm has a newsflash for you. Innocence and the mafia are two diametrically opposed notions. If you are part of the mafia, if you have knowingly chosen to become part of this way of life, you are not an innocent person. It is as simple as that. We accept that we are all eventually likely to face such an outcome. This isn't a profession famed for its longevity.

Those who are in power have no obligation to set out the thought processes that lead to such action: the simple matter is they have the power to do so, and exercise that power at their discretion. All you can do is take it on the chin and move on.

Having said his piece, Malcolm returned to his coffee and his newspaper.
