"The Resourceful" Robert Guiscard Started by: SpaceMountain on May 04, '10 23:01

After several meetings with financial advisors, Hoopi and RichardEnnebocks, the message was same from them all.  It was time to expand.  The headquarters had gotten too big for everyone and the new blood rotating in and out was leaving everyone and everything cramped for room.  Finances needed to be evened out as well.  "Space, you've got too much money in one account.  The FBN will be quick to question your business arrangments", replied one of the advisors.  Clearly, something had to be done to alleviate both issues.

"Robert?  I need you at the HQ now."

Space hung the receiver back on the phone and walked over to his window.  A knock at the door and RichardEnnebocks walked in.  "Boss, Hoopi and I are taking the financial advisors out for boiled goose and a round of beers.  Want to tag along?"  Space shook his head and Richard exited out the door rather hastefully.  Ten minutes had passed and his receptionist had called him.  "Sir, Mister Guiscard is here to see you".

"Send him in."

Robert walked through the door with a petrified look on his face.  Usually when the boss calls for you, he plans on using your remains as fertilizer.  SM gestured for the man to sit down and offered him a drink.  Robert looked up rather confused.  "Champagne, boss?  What's the occasion?"

"Well, I've got some good news for you, Robbie.  Apparently, things are getting rather crowded around here and I need to take myself out of the spotlight.  Those FBN assholes are constantly sitting outside my house and always following me around the city.  I can't even enjoy walking the dog without having to look over my shoulder for these guys.  Anyways, the reason I've called you here.  I want you to skipper a crew for me.  You've proven yourself to be very valuable to myself and the family.  It's gotten so that I cannot overlook your talents any longer."

Robert stood up and embraced his boss with a firm handshake.  Hoopi and RichardEnnebocks walked in the office to congratulate the man on his recent accomplishment.  They both shook hands with Guiscard and escorted him out to the car waiting outside.  The four gentleman entered the vehicle and drove off to the new HQ building.

Congratulations Robert, a well deserved opportunity good sir. One that you have earned with hard work, dedication and an unquestionable loyalty to your family.

Deimne hands Robert a cigar and gives him a friendly slap  on the shoulder.

While you can no doubt be proud of all the great work you've done to date, now it's time for the real work to begin. I look forward to seeing you achieve the potential you have shown and help SpaceMountain and Gwarble in the existing family operations.

This is a very happy day for those of us who have watched you earn this from the moment you joined your family.

Arriving at Space's office a little late Tyrion had almost shot the delivery boy when he'd arrived. It was bad enough waiting for a mobster to arrive but a 19 year old postal worker had had him waiting around like a kid in a queue for a fairground ride. Never the less the parcel had arrived and he'd headed over to see his friend's ceremony. Walking into the offices he tipped a wink at Deimne, smiled and Space and grabbed Robert firmly by the hand. Hugging his friend he smiled and then produced the present. Handing it to Robert he explained while his friend unwrapped the brown paper parcel.

My friend what can I say? Congratulations, a bold suit has rarely been given to someone more deserving. Your hard work, devotion and the refined nobility you bring to the simplest of tasks makes me very excited to see you wearing this suit.

Robert had unwrapped the parcel and was now looking at a series of history books covering Italy's rich and turbulent history.

I know you have a penchant for the history of that region so I had these shipped in. I hope they provide a little escape from the bustle and stress that the coming days will bring. Enjoy your new position my friend and never hesitate to ask if you have need of anything.
