SWORD OF SMATTAS. CAN YOU NOT HEAR A WORLD CRY OUT FOR JUSTICE? WHEN WILL YOU DELIVER IT?

Okay, waiter; this order's a bit complicated.

A gift each to Dana and Daniel. Keep gifting them until their relationship scores are at least 80%. Any leftover gifts should be given in this order:

1. Police memorial.
2. Schools and hospitals.

Ok, the Dana/Daniel plan:

With $9356 in my pocket, I looked at my options.

(Lost $3000 and Daniel Relationship +10)

And we've got $356 dollars left.

quote:

The streets were becoming very dangerous for us gangsters. The Five Families had acquired every racket and property in the city. With no new action to be had, the only option for further growth and expansion was at the expense of one another. This period in New Daria's history became very famous. The great War of the Five Families was about to begin.

For myself, it began one morning as I was getting a coffee at the local cafe. The barista handed me my order and I left the shop with a hot beverage in hand. As I stepped outside, I saw a man hanging out the window of a fast moving car. I didn't have time to think before I heard the explosion of gunfire. My paper cup exploded in my hand and the window shattered behind me. I hardly noticed my scalded hand as the bullets soared all around me. It was pure luck that I stood unharmed through the attack. The Italian curses coming from the shooter made it clear to me, at the time, that it was the Rossi Family.

I dropped the remains of the paper cup and hurried back to Fullers as the car raced down the street away from me. It turned out that I wasn't the only capo who had their life threatened that day. We were on high alert for Rossi scum. Two of our skips died that day, and if it weren't for an enormous piece of luck, I would have been the third.

Something about the hit bothered me. (Needs 80 Perception)

I spoke to Jeff about the hit.

I called a Rossi Family capo. (Needs 80 Rossi Family Reputation)

I made plans to defend myself against the Rossi Family.

"It wasn't us," Jeff said the moment I saw him. "We've been through too much together. At the very least, I'd warn you. You have to believe me, it wasn't us."

It certainly seemed odd. I don't think Jeff would have lied to me. If his Family had been involved and Jeff was a part of it, he would have tried to kill me, or warn me. Pretending to not be involved made no sense either way.

I spoke to Four Finger and he agreed that something was fishy. I watched as he pulled a single-use cell phone from his desk drawer and made a call. Within moments, he was speaking to the head of the Rossi Family. Sure enough, it hadn't been them. When the conversation was over, Don Harcourt snapped the cheap phone in half and tossed it into the garbage.
(Rossi Family +20 and Don Harcourt Relationship +10)

It took a few weeks before we learned that the shooters had been hired by the Martinez Family. It was dishonorable and despicable, that they had tried to frame the Rossi Family.

We returned the favor, doing a drive-by of our own. (Needs 60 Firearms and 40 Automobiles)

We beat up and scared many Martinez Family members. (Needs 40 Intimidation and 80 Fighting)

We chose to not react, at that time.

(and that's 100 relations with the Don)

We knew of a few associates and Martinez Family members. Dana joined me and we went after one of them. Other members of our family did the same. We washed the streets of New Daria with Martinez blood.
(Firearms +5, Automobiles +5, Martinez Family Reputation -60, and Heat +25)

This wasn't the only violence occurring at the time. All of the families were making bold moves against each other. The bosses of all Five Families knew that we couldn't continue this way. We were killing each other and if something wasn't done, nobody would survive. A meeting was needed between the Five Families to make peace.

On the day of the meeting, I made sure that the safety on my MAC-11 was off and that no clothing would obstruct me from drawing it. This was going to be a very tense and dangerous day. I drove to the meeting with Don Harcourt, Dana and Freddie. We'd be acting as his personal guards. I had been thinking about the meeting in great detail the night before. I had big plans.

I was going to bring war to New Daria and rule it at any cost.

I was going to bring peace and stability to New Daria.

I was going to share my story with the world!

Pretty much. If you'd given her all your money, or not screwed her a couple of times...

Anyway, let's see what Daniel can do for us:

quote:

I had the car pull over, claiming that I needed to use the restroom. Daniel was waiting at the rest stop and greeted us all with a friendly wave. Sure, Don Harcourt likely found it strange, but he didn't have long to think about it before I shot him in the back of the head. We quickly opened the trunk and put his body inside before anyone noticed. With Daniel at my side and the meeting about to begin, Dana and Freddie could either join the dead man in the trunk or join me in my ambition to rule the Family. Naturally, they chose to live.

The building had been abandoned for some time and the large loading bay doors allowed us to drive right inside. We got out and walked to the table where the other Family bosses had already gathered. Each boss had three representatives with him and everyone was packing. I told the others that I was now the head of the Joestar Family. With Dana and Freddie there to back me up, they accepted the change in leadership.

"And now, you will all bow to me," I told them directly. "I am taking leadership over all Five Families."

quote:

I looked to the Rossi Family.

With Enzo Rossi dead, the Rossi Family was weak and ineffectual. They were quick to show their support for my claim.

quote:

I looked to the Smirnov Family.

With Demetri Smirnov dead, the Smirnov Family was in my pocket. They were quick to show their support for my claim.

quote:

I looked to the Martinez Family.

With Pedro Sanchez dead, the Martinez Family gave me no troubles. They were quick to show their support for my claim.

quote:

I looked to the Sato Family.

I could tell that they were going to be a problem.

I reacted quickly and shot Hiroto Yamaguchi dead. (Needs 90 Firearms)

While I spoke, I circled around behind Hiroto Yamaguchi and strangled him to death. (Needs 90 Fighting)

Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about it.
