Tragedy this Holiday Season Started by: Kimble on Jan 02, '16 01:09

Kimble approaches the gathering mob outside of his headquarters, all of them eager to hear the news about the news.  Everyone had heard about the tragedy that had befallen them this New Years Day.  He stood for a moment to compose himself before he lifted himself onto the bumper of a truck so he could see everyone.

As I'm sure you all have heard, a tragedy has occurred this holiday.  I have only heard the news of their deaths recently myself and am still processing the events that transpired.  It seems that holiday accidents are not reserved for civilians.  This holiday we must morn the losses of Heartbreakridge, DeeMoney, TylerBreeze, reverandmm80, and their respective Made Men.  New York must endure the loss of our own Toby, who was found among the victims.

It turns out that for the holiday, Heartbreakridge invited his auths and their Made Men out for a night of gambling in Atlantic City.  That is the last word anyone from the mortal world heard from them.  According to my contacts in the Atlantic City Police Department a bus was found run off the road and down a steep ravine.  He said that it appears as if the bus flipped many times and even caught fire.  The bus belonged to the cousin of Heartbreakridge, everyone on board was dead upon arrival to the local hospital.  It seems as if noble Toby had see the crash and pulled over with his Right Hand and Left Hand to help.  They too were caught by the intense heat and smoke, and also lost their lives attempting to rescue members of the Philly mob.  It does look like alcohol was a leading factor in the crash. 

It is with a heavy heart that I deliver this news to all of you.  We must now go about burying our friends and trying to live up to their tremendous character.  They will be sorely missed.  I hope they find peace at last.  This holiday season, don't let your friends drink and drive.

With a large sigh, Kimble jumped down off of the bumper of the truck and began to converse among the shocked mafioso.

"Tragic set of circumstances, it is strange how we lead this life and yet can be taken so easily. We are but only mortal, we bleed, we die.

"Rest in peace to the fallen."

Adorkable walks up and states to the masses, "I would like to let you all know that my mother was not in fact near that bus. She was at home in the 'safety' of her home city. So this 'news' is not quite accurate. I have no idea why my mother was gunned down, as the gunner was silent and we can't rely on our fearless leaders to inform us so it will forever remain a mystery to us all." Adorkable shakes her head as she walks away.

It appears the crash was the victor Sweetsuns. I have never heard of a crash being a victor before but alas it must be true.

Let me take this moment to say, rest in peace to those that lost their lives to this unfortunate vehicle accident.

Report Post Tip

That was terrible. If you're going to lie and make up stories, could you not have done a better job? Here, allow me to demonstrate...

 

"It had been long known to the hazardous checmical waste disposal committee and their well paid emplyees that the chemicals they'd been burying in lakes and land fills around philly weren't securely sealed in their containers. The cost of properly and safely disposing would have meant less profits, and thus, was an undesirable thing for them to concern themselves with.

After years, however, the gradual build up of these toxic and unpredictable chemicals had affected the fragile natural eco-systems in the local areas. Some of the insects, which until now had lived in balance with their environment and only eaten leaves and nuts had become carnivorous. Also, unknown to even this committee, they had begun growing, unbelievable amounts.

 

The ants had grown up to a metre in length. They now possessed the physical strength required to crush bones and 1 ant could easily consume a small child by themself. There was no way to predict that yesterday, whilst the human population were recovering from hang overs, the ants would decide to strike!

 

At first news reports started flooding in that giant ants were sited bursting out of newly formed hills in the parks with large lakes in them. Most people dismissed it as the news reporters just being super drunk and having a laugh. The mafioso didn't seem to believe it either. A mistake that cost their lives. When the ants came, people were just waking up and had only just begun to fry their bacon and stir their coffee mugs. Those that had been paranoid something like this could have happened jumped ship as soon as the warnings came, they scattered far and wide across the cities and many applied for jobs in those cities. However, those that surrounded themselves with lots of bodyguards, even if they believed it, didn't fear it. The ants were too numerous to be stopped when they came. They had no problem scaling the perimeter fences. They were so volumous that the bodyguards and mafioso literally emptied everything in their arsenal and ran out of bullets. The few smart bodyguards used their last bullet to shoot themselves... many prominent members of the philly organisation died.

 

In unrelated news, Toby slipped on a bar of soap in the shower and broke his neck after falling out of the tub awkwardly. His RHM had gotten worried about his boss and decided to check up on him. He took his gun out of his pocket as he entered the bathroom, where he too, slipped on the bar of soap which had landed by the door. He shot himself and bled out next to the corpse of his boss.

 

and also in an unrelated event, yournextwife got beaten to death by a jilted ex lover. Apparently time doesn't always heal those sorts of things. The ex-lover was called CarloJR, when the police arrived on the scene they were executed for refusing to drop the stuffed penguin they had used to beat YNW to death with."

 

 

See, now that's entirely believable. I mean, it is to me. However, even if people don't believe it, it's at least a slightly more interesting story than "everyone was in a coach and died, you don't need any mo' details so don't aaaaask no queeestions!"

Anna heads down to the street to listen to Kimble speak about the evenings tragic tragedy, clothed in head to toe black. 

Godfather Kimble, thank you for having the strength of heart and of character to come out here on the streets today, to speak about the tragic tragedy that has unfolded this evening. It can't have been easy for you to put these events into words and to give those words to the world, but you have done it. A most tragic event indeed.

Don't drink and drive, reach your home alive!

I look around for eager faces and to no avail none can be found. Alas! Bender might be onto something as those deadly ants come in many shapes, sizes, forms and at any given moment.  Do take it easy on Kimble. Their take on the deadly situation is by no means any different then when HBR was strutting their shit.

I'd been listening to the speech that Godfather Kimble was giving to the good people of the streets. As I listened, I hitched up a smoke, and looked at some of the body language that Kimble was giving off as he spoke to everyone. I could tell first hand that Kimble was lying. The people from Philadelphia did not die in some random bus crash. They were murdered.

Luckily for me, I had more sense than to start disrespecting some Godfather, regardless of where he was from. So I merely shook my head, took a drag from the smoke, and keep my tongue civil.

"Nasty way to go that. By a bus crash? All of those people? My, my. What is this world coming to when you can't even get on a bus without being killed."

"Saying that, my great aunt Virginia was killed in a train wreck, many many years ago. Nasty business. Makes you wonder how long you've got left, doesn't it?"

I grabbed Kimble by the hands, and I shook them both together. I looked at his face, and he wasn't making eye contact with me. I flashed him a smile, and kissed him on each cheek as a sign of respect, and that I was now leaving. With that, I turned on my heels and walked away knowing that a bus crash was simply out of the question and laughable.

MrPink, I would work on that passive/aggressive problem you are experiencing. It is not what we are built on. Do you not think calling a Godfather a liar is disrespectful? Thanks for the chuckle MrPink. I think what you really want to convey to the audience is the fallen was blatantly murdered for unknown reasons. Would it not be an ideal twist of events  if the obits we read were not quite accurate? After all, misprints happen so often with the news media.

I had been called back to the scene, by some gangster called Insane. Apparently I had said something about Godfather Kimble, even though the words never left my mouth.

"Insane is it? Let me ask you a question, sir. When did you hear the words, Kimble is liar leave my mouth?"

I didn't have a fucking clue who this guy was, but yet he was calling me out in the streets and claiming that I had said something when I clearly did not. Sure it was on my mind, but then again this fella can't read minds. He can't, can he?

"Sir, I do also need to ask. Are you some kind of martian? Can you read people's minds? Can you make them talk, without any words actually leaving their mouths?"

"You must be. I am afraid of aliens, and so I shall leave now before you take me back to your home planet. Good day, Mr Mind Reader!"

I once again walked off, hoping not to be called back.

This is sad news, thankfully the pedestrians walking along side of the road were able to scamper far enough off the road to avoid losing their lives as well. Emoney would have missed his mother dearly, altgough he did tell her that we gambling addiction would eventually be the death of her.
