Life as a Corleone (A Mafia Game)

[Cernunnos]

-September, 1931-
--Somewhere in New York--


For two weeks now you have been keeping tabs on Tony "Two Clips" Panzolo, Joey Ferrigno, John Lombardo and Sammie "one Eye" Genovese. All of them supposed former soldiers of the Rizzuto family. The head of your family (Don) Anthony Corleone, had called you into a meeting last week to discover their true nature.

From what he told you, it seems as if they all had a falling out with their capo. and had come to the Corleone family looking for work. Although that is what they had told Don Corleone, it seems as if they had continued to conduct business as usual. They still went to their same areas and collected the same amount of money from the same people as they had been doing before.

Was this in defiance of the Rizzuto family or did they have their blessing to be on their turf? Don Corleone had asked you to find out, by getting to the bottom of this matter. If they indeed were looking for work, then Don Corleone told you to bring them to him. If however, at the end of your observations you felt that they working for the Rizzuto family (by infiltrating and spying on the Corleone) then Don Corleone told you to "Hit 'em."

CHALLENGES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Women 3w	Denise is a women. While that affords her certain protections in her society it also brands her as lesser to the men folk. Though she has learned to mask her annoyance over it she never fully got over the resentment of being considered lesser for what she lacked between her legs. Often times she may overcompensate for that fact. If only to prove to herself that she could do anything a man can, if not better.
Proud 1w	Pride at her accumulated skills often stirs Denise into action. Sometimes she may risk to much or take on a task to dangerous just to prove she can do something and be useful to her father and the family.
Daddy‘s girl 1w	When it all boils down to it, Denise is a Daddy’s girl. Her father likes keeping tabs on her, and she likes slipping them. Occasionally his interference in her life causes issues and makes more work for her. Particularly if shes doing something for her father or herself that he doesn’t know about. Spending more than 3 panels in one morph imparts a psychological tendency from the animal.

Denise relaxed in a large bath tub nestle in her rooms at the Corleone main house. Warm water and rose scent. Her favorite. She loved a good soak, particularly when she was exercising her intellect as she was doing now.

According to the Don those silly boys were stirring up trouble. While she was all for a game or two they were likely on the wrong side of the board. That simply wouldn't do. But proof was needed first. And for that she would have to go dancing. But first, she needed to know who the right partner would be.

.~.

"Thank you Mac." A warm smile and a feather light touch always brought a smile to her old drivers face. He had been her chauffeur as long as she could remember. He was unfailingly loyal and in his old age tired enough to let her get away with things he wouldn't have a decade ago.

Drawing her shawl up around her she made her way to the hotel she kept an apartment at. It was one of those long term arrangements, very common these days. Once she was up the elevator and into her hall she carefully checked her security systems. She liked a variety. The maids were instructed to clean two days a week and otherwise leave her rooms alone. That let her use powder and dust to make sure no ones entered the room or touched the doorknob.

Once she deemed it safe she let herself in and set her purse aside. The bath was great but now it was time to work. Her father would never let her do what his boys did. But what he didn't know wouldn't hurt. Closing the blinds and securing the room she walked to the kitchen. Behind the icebox was a special rotary phone. She dialed the first of her birds. She kept a complex coup, but she rarely had to sow more than one or two seeds to reap the rewards.

The phone itself was special, it held a voice distorter, latest technology for all its clunky and unappealing appearance. Her bird answered on the first ring. That was good, she needed to know who was doing what and what was circulating on the street. Depending on her stooges information she would seek out one of those men and begin integration. "Good evening, Merry do you have time to 'chat'?

Travis says if he cant buy it off, he'll steal it. BUT, to Travis, the family always comes first. He loves this family with a passion. Thats why he likes hooking them up with either stolen goods, or talking business for them when he can.

You could hear the tell-tale sign of Marry on the other end. As always she was smoking as she spoke on the phone. As she exhaled she sputtered.

"Sure. Whatcha need, besides time?"

[Ushima911]

It was time for some investigating. Some guys trying to come into the family after leaving another. The boss didn't trust them JUST yet, so it was up to the family to sniff out any hidden agenda they may have had. Travis goes up to the soldier type. Soldier types, not really good for the brain, but muscles for sure. Might wanna avoid saying something wrong, cuz this guy may be able to take Travis to his grave if he wanted. "Yo, names Travis. Don't think we've personally met before. What's your skills? Whatcha got to offer the family? Me? Im the business type, you need anything, come to me. I'll get it for ya." Travis says nudging the soldier guy. Straightforward was the type of guy Travis was. He is, after all, a business man who doesn't play games.

===============

Action 1: social skills 3 to talk to this guy, find out what he has to offer the family.

"Joey Ferrigno." And then points to his associate. "This here is John Lombardo. He aint earned a name yet. But he's working on it. We can do anything you need. You got a job?"

[Ushima911]

"I ain't got no job for ya, might wanna talk to the big man bout that one. I'm just here to meet yous two is all, maybe find out what you can do for future referenses, yeah?" travis says, his question about their skills still not being answered by them. "but let's see, I can find somethin for yous twos to do. Stay right there, ill be right back." he says makin his way to a phone. He calls the boss. "yo big daddy, I got the 2 new guys here, and they want somethin to do. Got anythin in mind to test they loyalty?" he asks.

A voice comes back from the other side.

"Take them to Loui Pansolo down on 32nd street. Seems like he doesn't wanna make a payment. See what you can do..."

With that he hung up the phone.

[Puck]

Denise leaned against the kitchen counter and paused as she organized her thoughts. Whenever she masked as Slick she had to take care to adjust her speech patterns. He was less smooth and articulate than she was.

"Word on the street is a few Rizzuto boys are running the game. You'll know which ones. I want to know what their doing, can you find out for me Marry?"

"I can getcha' whatcha' looking for. But thing is, I heard that they were gunning for someone. Looking to start up their own buisness. I dunno who yet. But heard they were looking to takeover. Just keep it in mind willyah?"

A short pause.

"Anything else?"

[Ushima911]

Travis walks back to the new guys. "Cmon follow me. I gots a job for ya. You up to it? We gotta get some payment from some jamook who refuses to pay. Got it? Lets go." Travis instructs as he leads the new guys to this job, down 32nd street.
