Business In The Big Easy Started by: ElainaDeLuca on Dec 17, '07 18:16
Reporters gather at the steps of La famiglia di Soldati headquarters, waiting for the woman who has called this press conference. Murmuring and speculating amongst themselves as to why she had due to recent events, they surge forward as the HQ doors open and ElainaDeLuca steps out onto the steps, her bodyguards keeping a circle clear in front of her. The slim woman with tousled red hair contemplates the crowd for a moment, then signaling for silence, begins to speak


Good morning ladies and gentlemen and thank you all for coming. I asked you here to announce that I have been appointed as my family's business manager here in New Orleans. Shortly, I will be opening my office on Bourbon St. I will with my family's help be cleaning up our bar district and checking out the current businesses. Any new business person wishing to open in our city will need to visit me in my office for the appropriate application and miscellaneous licenses. The business plans must be viewed and approved prior to opening. Any business which does not pass our criteria will not be approved but I will be glad to work with the applicant if he/she so wishes to bring it into the appropriate form.


From time to time, we will be announcing competitions and/or rewards for various businesses, possibly based on activity or simply the amount of beauty or originality it brings to our city. These will be announced to your family leaders as we hold them. Please keep in mind, we do not only look for bar owners, clothing shops, flower shops etc. are all welcome.


Thank you for your time, you all know where to find me for further questions.

Elaina walks back into her HQ while the reporters are escorted from the property

From the deep dark shadows Denny watches Ms DeLuca walk down Bourbon, holding the instruments of his "profession" tightly in his hand, he struggles with himself and softly sings under his breath...



She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans

She's innocent and young from a family of means

I have stood many times outside her window at night

To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light

How could I be this way when I pray to God above

I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love

Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Elaina stops and listens to the soft singing behind her, without turning around when Denny is finished, she begins to sing

There's a moon over bourbon street tonight

I see faces as they pass beneath the pale lamplight

I've no choice but to follow that call

The bright lights, the people, and the moon and all

I pray everyday to be strong

For I know what I do must be wrong

Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet

While there's a moon over bourbon street



Then laughing, she turns to her friend and says Denny, whatever brings you this way? I hope to help me open my new office

Denny walks out of the shadows hold his briefcase that held the tools of his trade, his pen, his certificate from the bar (just in case anyone doubted that he was as good as he really was)


Elaina, M'dear, still nerves of steel I see. Yes indeedy, I have come to help you celebrate the opening of your new office and where else but smack in the middle of this den of sin.


Come, show me the place, I brought some of my finest Single Malt and some caviar that was fished just the other week.

Linking her arm through Denny's, Elaina walks with him towards her family HQ and around to the side

Here it is, it's small but it will do.
Opening the door, she smiles as Denny ushers her in first

Denny beams the smile that had won over countless Juries...


Outstanding!

You have outdone yourself! I'm not going to ask where you got those first prints or that original Rembrandt, but it goes so well with the decor.


Now...find us some glasses!

Whilst walking along the streets of New Orleans, Orpheus sees Elaina and Denny enter a building. Smiling, Orpheus walks up the stairs and knocks on the open door.


Well hello there you two. *smiles and tips his hat to both individuals*


I heard you're handling the business district of New Orleans now. So this your office Elaina?

Orpheus steps in and surveys the room.


As always, it looks beautiful. You never disappoint do you? *chuckles*


Anyways, I'm just dropping in to let you know that I might do business with you sometime.

Orpheus hands Elaina his calling card and tips his hat to Denny before walking away.

Elaina smiles at Orpheus as he runs in and leaves just as quickly You know Denny, people just don't seem to read postings before they jump in to things. We just had to decide whether to tear a new business down or fine a gentleman the other day who set up without our permission. As he was new to our shores, we fined him and allowed the business to reopen but we wouldn't have been so lenient with someone who has been here longer.
Report Post Tip
Elaina sends some of her family scattering throughout the cities with the announcement that there will be several new businesses starting up in New Orleans. Smiling, she turns to her receptionist

I think we are well on the way to making New Orleans the bustling town we want it to become, we have businesses here on the MRSE, new ones coming in and so far only one business owner breaking ordinances which he quickly rectified. I am rather pleased with everyone's hard work.
