I want scandal and romance.....jesus I am so conflicted right now!!!

goes to a quiet corner to think...

"...Yes, anyway. If we could return to the topic at hand that would be marvelous."

I would have to agree with Tabitha here...... let's change the subject. Clearly this subject has rattled her... she even lost her accent as a result. Back to the topic at hand... where were we?

Ah yes.... the sins of the father.... no, not those sins of the father (alleged sins) but other sins........... 

"You know what, fuck the both of you. I'm done tryin' to inject life into our streets. The people that matter don't give a fuck and the people that don't matter won't shut the fuck up."

" Congratulations, one more hermit for the ranks. I hope your crews are proud." 

Watching the scene unfold Tenley caught the last part of what Tabitha was saying. Sighing she grabbed an extra coffee and brought it over. Offering it to Tabitha.

"Here." She said as she pushed the cup into the hands of the young woman.

"I enjoy the life you are injecting into these streets. A few people who can't stay on topic shouldn't matter. I do hope you will keep at it. I'd certainly like a partner out here. "

Kuku-, have you ever thought of maybe focusing on the actual topic at hand that Tabitha was so nice to bring up for a discussion?

Yeah I am pretty sure you have that backwards.

"Don't screw over your friends.  That's the most important value to have been passed down to me from generation to generation. ~©Romance

"I enjoy this statement alot I do for sure, and I believe in it, sadly people... some or more then some practice the exact opposite. I don't screw friends over, there ain't a friend I ever crossed or threw under any bus, or turned on them, but hey its the mafia. I have read in Journals of Underboss's killing Their own crew Leaders for power over reign I mean shit, its a doggy (Style) dog world .. That's for sure."  ©Romance I hope you practice that Doggy Style with some of your many lovers, alotta lovers love it. I know my wife does. 

 Regardless of how we may insist that there are no grudges held, bloodline huntin' or predetermined expectations, there will always be dat'

I agree, our ancestors die and their kins come back for blood without the line get what I just did there? No? Okay anyway it doesn't matter. The kin reads his or her parents journals and takes up some revenge on certain bloodline's. Do I think its justified, not always. I don't believe in blaming 1 person for every problem that happens here on these shores or 1 person for when a whole city gets taken out, like Godfather-Chairman MonsterHair in his speech" It's all his fault! " said about Godfather-Chairman Disorder. Can't blame him for everything. It takes a collective group of people and reasons some true evidence and some fake bullshit combined to act on forward to remove certain someones and the idea is fuck it, if they are gunning for me, lets get em first. What would you do on top? Would you try to stay on top as long as possible. I would. I am sure plenty would want to stay on top forever. I said plenty not all. 

Pollution found himself stood in among a group of gathered Mafioso, huddled up as they listened to the beginning of a discussion. Just moments previous, he was enjoying Tabitha's thoughts being shared with the crowd. However, his hearing couldn't help but be unnecessarily interrupted by some comments from one man in particular. 

He made his way closer to the front of the crowd and tapped the young man on the shoulder,

"Ah, Kuku-. It's you. Of course," Pollution paused a moment before leaning in closer so's not to disturb the discussion taking place,

"Listen, I think it's great when people come out here to discuss their thoughts, feelings and concerns. Honestly, it brings out a lot of truth and often a lot of good changes come from discussions such as this one."

Pollution paused again briefly, looking over at TabithaGato once more to ensure he wasn't interrupting the conversation.

"However, I do think some people abuse the freedom these Streets allow. Tabitha here has taken time out of her daily schedule to raise some points with the community - like she often does. I'm sure she's here to discuss her thoughts and feelings on this topic - and not the actions of her ancestors. I'm confident I'm not alone in feeling that your remarks regarding another topic while Tabitha is trying to discuss something are not only unnecessary, but rather rude."

Pollution looked at Kuku-, smiling before he continued,

"Don't you think it would be fairer to leave this corner of the Streets for the discussion at hand? Perhaps you can take your concerns across the road, start a discussion there?"

Pollution opened his shiny cigarette case, rubbing his thumb across it to buff out the marks before holding it out in front of Kuku-,

"Cigarette? ... Of course, if you feel you have any concerns regarding the Gatos and their ancestry, I'd love to hear them. Please feel free to come stop by SMOG anytime - my door is always open. But let's keep it out of unrelated discussions, yeah? I feel that'd be the most respectful thing to do for everyone."

Hello Pollution, I appreciate you coming out here and talking to me.

With all due respect, and I mean that sincerely, I have been trying to move beyond the alleged sex scandals surrounding TabithaGato, ThomasGato and the late ChristianGato for some time.

It's true that Tabitha tries hard to breathe life into the Streets, and I, for one, wish that her reception was more significant than it has been to date.

Key to this is moving on from the allegations that have surrounded her.  I believe that I was following the thread of her conversation when I called for there to be more romance in this thing of ours.  Time will tell if this was the correct thing to say.

As a fellow Las Vegas fellow, I surely will pop into SMOG to see the Pollution!

All the best mate, loving what you've achieved.
