Pious

Hundreds of conga-dancing rats!

Count me in, but if later on I find out I can't make it, I'll let you know.

2. Pious Hunter - Ill/FF Controller (invisibility, group invisibility & recall/teleport friend)

Good point, thugs MM team-ups are every Friday evening if you guys can make it. 7pm GMT and onwards.

Thats good, thugs MM are really fun to play and quite the formidable adversiries the higher their level. If you've got the time, have a look at the videos on gang.webeden.co.uk to see evidence. What is your global?

As the door shuts after Sionis, the figure of a woman rose out from a dark shadow in the far corner of the office. Falcon Blitz, twin sister to the notorious Pistol catwalked across to the table.

"I think we've upset another one" she said, "Alicia you are not very nice to your fellow neighbours-"

"We're not murderers, despite what that carpenter says" Pistol interjected. "Give this one to Tommy Furr"

"Sionis, I'm disappointed" said Pistol, getting up and walking around the table to look down at the man. "Maybe its because I'm a woman, maybe its because you don't know me well enough, or maybe... maybe you're just too f***ing proud. You're asking me to kill the head of the Marcone Family, that I cannot do. Not from the way you've asked."

Pistol sat comfortably at her desk, looking across the room at Sionis like a queen from her throne.

"Sionis, its an honour to have you in the syndicate, but you have alot to learn" said Pistol, her voice carrying a silky undertone. "When you talk to me, especially when asking a favour, you have to show some respect."

One of the henchmen standing guard over at the door walked up to Sionis and whispered two words.

The Phonecall - April 14

Since meeting Sionis, the New Mafia syndicate had acquired only one other valuable associate, but after Sionis's wordless interview, Pistol herself had welcomed him into the gang.

She was overseeing an interogation in Nerva Archipelago, outside the Mansion, when her cellphone rang. The henchman called Eagle produced the cellphone from a trouser pocket and quickly checks the caller display.

"Boss, its Sionis" he said, offering the phone. Pistol took the call.

"Speak" she ordered, wondering if Sionis can actually talk.

"It's been a while" came a darkly scarred voice, a pitch so deep the words were hard to distinguish.

"Cut to it Sionis, I'm busy" said Pistol, interjected by the sudden sound of a gunshot over the phone. "What are you doing?" she questioned, in a patronizing tone.

"I need a favour" Sionis replied. In the background, Pistol heard a masculine voice followed shortly by a second gunshot, then what must have been thunder.

"Meet me at the Mansion within the hour, no heat" Pistol commanded.

Falcon Blitz turned to Spruk and smiled "wrong twin, Pistol went after Hatesman"

"I think we've upset him" said Falcon sarcastically, looking onwards through the hole in the fenistration. Pistol however didn't look too amused. She withdrew a gold plated Mark XIX Desert Eagle, cocked it and took to the air, following in Hatesman's trail.

"As far as I'm concerned, somebody owes me for building repairs"

It looks like the first video was rejected by YouTube for being slightly too long. About 12 minutes, so I've edited it down to 10mins 32sec. Here are the links, fingers crossed.

((Probably subconsciously influenced by Pistol's neat and well-spoken personality))

Pistol watched as Spruk excused himself, she hoped he would return later for a chat. Suddenly, from a shadow in the corner in the room emerges a woman, a splitting image of the notorious Pistol. She walks across the room and takes a seat at the table.

"Hatesman, meet my twin sister the Falcon Blitz" said Pistol.

"To answer your question Mister Oswald" said Falcon, "we already have everything we need and require nothing from you. In fact, we cannot and will not have the New Mafia linked with some Anarchist group, it goes against everything we stand for. Lisa invited you here to find out what you're up to and I must say... you are one deranged lunatic." Finishing her string of abuse, she turns to her sister, "you were right, we'd better keep an eye on him"

"Yes" Pistol agreed, looking from her sister to Hatesman. She finished the last of her drink and rose to her feet, meeting eye-to-eye with the large man. "I didn't think you'd answer to my invitation had I not offered something of interest to you, but I'm afraid, as it seems, our perspectives, our values, our believes... our persons are somewhat different. In fact, they're at a clash. I see no reason to work with you Mr Oswald."

At long last, the Red Commissar, who is probably the show's biggest supporter has his episode completed. It is accessible via the webpage in my signature and via youTube. Also note that the TV ad in there was done by my mate Blindsight.

PS. Yes it's Seth Green, hehe.

Beet, Spruk looks amazingly frightening. Is he like a snake or a toad or something?

((Rumours like these are just typical to surround Coile. He has a few haters from Militia and the Gang as well as some in Tempest I think, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are any in Pocket D.))

((Bloody hell man, Coile has so many friggin enemies lately, if that guy wound up dead somewhere, the Police would have their work cut out - mystery of the year "Who killed Coile" and I got almost a dozen suspects.))

Pistol simply sat and watched Hatesman. Several moments passed as she imagined this man's dreams play out. She thought of a world where men simply behaved as they wished. Amongst other things, she saw sex crimes, theft, armed robbery, murder, terrorism, racial genocide, suicide, poverty and starvation. The vision confirmed what she believed - mankind needed the Law; barriers and rules to seperate them from the monster within - the anarchist. As difficult as life may seem today, at least the world had progressed beyond barbarianism.

Pistol snapped back to reality and broke eye contact with Hatesman. She felt her fingers on the wine glass and took another prolonged sip. "Hatesman" she said, her voice silky and soft, yet the tone was cold and sharp as a blade, "what is your grand plan?"

((Plot Conclusion))

Definitions on the Holidays

Heroes Day is an unofficial secular holiday observed in Paragon City on the first Saturday of May (observed this year 2007-05-05) to recognize true heroic efforts of its civilians, alive and dead. It involves an award ceremony held annually at an interdimensional location. On this day, it is common for super-powered hero to meet and greet their fans.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed this year on 2007-05-28). This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honour Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.

One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. In Paragon City, those who lost their lives serving their country in the Rikti War are remembered at a Memorial Garden in Gemini Park, Galaxy City.

Heroes Day

At ten o'clock in the morning, Paragon Television channel 2 aired the second appearance of the Ultimate; the public face of the 'Heroes among People' campaign.

"People of Paragon City, I have good news. With the support of over two million civilians and three thousand costumed heroes, the City Council has agreed to [u]Heroes Day[u] and there will soon be a Memorial Garden in which to celebrate [u]Memorial Day[u]. A great victory for the people and a big thank you to all those who gave their names. A copy of the Holiday certificates are available for viewing online at heroesamongpeoplecampaign.com and I look forward to our first celebrations! A message from Tracey Lionheart, over to Hollywood"

Tracey Lionheart sat in her chair on the Fiday Night Talkshow set and addressed the camera. "Thank you, Ultimate. Its good to hear the Council has listened to the concerns of the people and thats where I come in, for next week's show and the week after, I will be visiting the streets of Paragon with my cameraman, to find out how people feel about the new Holiday and will be visiting the site for the Memorial Garden. I'd like to ask the costumed heroes in support of the Holiday to please send their names in so I can set an appointment to have a brief interview, when I visit Paragon, see you soon."

((Its an unofficial holiday, so those not aware of this plot and those not in support of it can still ignore it. I'm making a video of interviews with firemen, police officers and costumed heroes about thier reactions to the successful petition, so if any of your heroes would appear on TV, it'd be quite nice to film them and hear thier views))

"Call me Pistol, Mister Oswald" said Pistol, her sicilian accent evident in her voice. "So you believe freedom is the right of all sentient beings... freedom to do as one wishes without Law or order, because that is what human instints are, have I understood you correctly?"

Pistol enters the room in an elegant catwalk and gently settles in an old leather sofa eight feet across from the man refered to as Hatesman. She notices Spruk at a nearby window and assumed he was watching the Family mooks beating each other up. Turning her attention to a bottle of white wine, she pours herself a glass and stares inquisitively at the man opposite her.

"This building was built early twentieth century by Alexander du Bute, a French architect" said Pistol, breaking the ice with a few interesting facts. "Its quite the example of Art Nouveau at its finest. To be honest with you, its the furnishings that did it for me; luxurious Flemish and French tapestries, Damask curtains and Turkish carpets." Pistol drew a satisfyingly long sip of her wine and waited for some sort of a response.

Hatesman and the Secret Society - Early evening. Wednessday 4th of April.

Pistol and Axel arrive at the Mansion on a harley. A messenger approaches them in the garage.

"We've done exactly as you said boss" he reported. "Hatesman is in the guest lounge with a bottle of wine and four glasses. One for him, yourself, Mister Hunter and Master Spruk. Will there be anything else?"

"I'll let you know Anthony" Pistol replied, following her ex-husband up into the guest lounge.
