Chapter 51: More Contacts
Keep exploring!
Alex, having defeated more Vice Lords, decides to reward himself by snooping around more in their territory. (2) He finds a bunch of people walking around apartments, buildings and stores. Nothing interesting on this street right now.
Reply, saying that I'd like at least 45 for it. THEN, go wander the alleys for more places to rob.
Aaron raises the princes on his PSP sale before wandering the back alleyways. (4) Walking down one, he finds a non-descript guy in his 20's.
Hmm this could work to my favor..
Look for a window next to the bar and the drinks, look if any nearby stores store matches.
Mason looks for a window into the pub. There are windows, but the inside of the place is so dark he can't tell what or who they're near too.
He then goes to a nearby convince store and looks at the matches. Five pounds for a pack of 20.
"You are forever indebted to me."
Go to the prisoners. Have a chat that involves them giving information, and a knife.
William goes downstairs to have a nice chat between him, the Cobardi prisoners and his butterfly knife. (Charm: Related Skill - Intimidation; Level 2, Roll:3) Despite the butterfly knife having a lot to talk about, all William gets is that they were sent out to attack the mattress shop by superiors.
"Nobody minds if I spend some petty cash, right?"
Head off to aquire the easily obtainable goods from local shops (Salt, vinegar, alcohol, tubing, basic glassware). Use mail order lab supply companies for the more tricky stuff (Lithium, more advanced glassware, preservatives). If anyone asks, I am a chem teacher new to the area.
Ryan goes off to the store to acquire the basics for cooking, and sends mail orders for the trickier stuff. It takes a sizable amount out of the treasury,
(-$150) but will be enough to make in a lot of meth when the process starts. The mail order stuff should come in (3 turns).
go down to head down to Brightson Apartment on Lake-view Street, Room 314 and ask them about what they have. Also look into smuggling and selling explosives my self and getting in on that business.
Blake takes the task of heading into the city to find the location given to him. As he walks through, he becomes quickly acquainted with the rustic, urban city. Within an hour, he arrives. He knocks on the door, and a muscular, mustached man opens it. Jake states, "I'm here for plastics." The man nods and opens the door. Blake notices in one of his hands, he is wielding a pistol.
As the door closes behind him, Blake looks around the room. The walls are white, but the light in the room produces a strong orange reflection on them. Strewn around the room are packages, guns, melee weapons, growing pot plants and wads of money. On the couch in the middle of the room is a reclining man with dreadlocks, and a pair of glasses. "Welcome," he says in a notably Jamaican accent, "to my home. You want plastic? We'll hook you up. Grenades, C4, IED, Sodium, whatever you want son. I am Imari, and this," he motions to his guard, "is my friend, P. What is yours?"
Head on back and start a new training session on knife fighting, training them with my new knowledge.
With more knife training, Dave trains about knives. (2) The class soon devolves into an argument about whether stilettos or butterfly knives are better.
"Well it sounds like you guys have a lot of this figured out already, and so far I like some of your ideas..."
"Tell ya what, give me some time to get in contact with the other Kings so we can work out exactly how we want to handle this..."
SEND FOLLOWING TEXT MESSAGE TO ALL KINGS
Hey guys, I have been working out some internal affairs with Berk and he argues that the Gang could get a lot more work done if we promoted some of our older members to Knights.
Berk wants to be a Knight and he'll expand our territory and look after the Mattress Shop
Doug wants to be a Knight and he'll pimp our cars
Paul, Sean, and Jonah want to be Knights and they'll train our footsoldiers how to fight in a melee
Mal wants to be a Knight and he'll teach our men in firearms, look after our guns, and coordinate missions for us
Fyfe wants to be a Knight and she'll handle our medical affairs
What I'm thinking is this; they've pretty much proven that they're competent to take care of work on their own but we should still make sure things stay organized.
I can have them all knighted, but I think we should have each Knight be assigned to a King who can look after them and make sure their operations are going smoothly. I'll take up Berk as a Knight if any of you guys want to take up any of the others as Knights.
What do you all think?
Trent sends a text to all the other Kings. They seem to agree with the plan.
