Grand Opening of The Club Palermo

[Anthony Machetti]

Since your last move:


Lucrezia Borgia says “oh Anthony, that dinner was meraviglioso! So fresh, with a light touch, it reminded me of home. My new home, here. Now, I am truely libero. ”
Lucrezia Borgia walks to Anthony and kisses him on each cheeks.
Lucrezia Borgia whispers to Anthony, "this song is for you." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHm8Pz72PRo

Lucrezia Borgia sings, "Anol shalomAnol sheh lay konnud de ne um flavum, Nom de leesh, ham de namum das, la um de flavne."
Lucrezia Borgia says “We de ze zu bu, We de sooo a ru, Un da la pech ni sa, Un vi-i bee”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Un da la pech ni sa, Un da la pech ni sa, Un di-i lay na day”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Un ma la pech a nay mee di nu ku”
Lucrezia Borgia says “La la da pa da le na da na”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Ve va da pa da le na la dumda”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Anol shalom, Anol sheh ley kon-nud de ne um.”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Flavum, Flavum, M-ai shondol-lee”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Flavu, Lof flesh lay, Nof ne, Nom de lis, Ham de num um dass, La um de”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Flavne, Flay, Shom de nomm, Ma-lun des”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Dwondi, Dwondi, Alas sharum du koos, Shaley koot-tum”

Lucrezia Borgia smiles as she finishes her song to Anthony.
Lucrezia Borgia says “you are a persona meravigliosa, Anthony. Grazie molto for everything. ”
Lucrezia Borgia gives you 5 gold coins.
Lucrezia Borgia says “now some more vino costoso, and I call this a perfect night.”
Lucrezia Borgia flashes a big warm smile to everybody then saunters to a tall bar stool taking a rather provocative perch, she winks at you.

Betwixt nods as he recieves his coffee. " ... My rifle is always at your side, should you ever require it."

Enzo Machetti says “hello, friends”
Enzo Machetti says  “soon I will reveal details of first healthcare plan on this forsaken isola. For Durhamese!”
Enzo Machetti says “but it is so exhausting, this ministeriale disordine. Can someone get me a bowl of penne con tonno e capperi?”

Sympathetic Phil takes a deep swig of coffee. "Damn, Tony, that's some good coffee. Not like the pigswill they serve in York. Don’t tell that SillyLillyPwotter bird I said that..."
Sympathetic Phil looks round expectantly. “So when does the fun start? I still need a few supplies – what sort of bloody Med Hut returns one bottle of water from twenty searches? – but I’m all ammo’d up.”
Sympathetic Phil raises his cup to the newest arrival. “Hey, Giovanni, nice to meet you. I here you’re a lawyer? I’ve gotten into a spot of bother in York, and could use a bit of professional advice.”
Sympathetic Phil holds his hands up with a shrug. “I’m completely innocent of course, the guy practically forced me to punch him to death, but you know what policemen are like, eh?”
Sympathetic Phil says “So when's lunch?”

Giovanni Machetti talks with his eyes still closed, "Ah, but of course Phil, I will gladly look at the details of the case for you. I know what it is like when people practically make you punch them to death.”
Giovanni Machetti opens his eyes, and gets up, "Perhaps after some lunch, and I need to go the med hut to fulfill an order. Then it's time for some Stuffed pasta shells."
Giovanni Machetti strolls back in, smiling, "Making money always puts a smile on my face."
Giovanni Machetti sits down with Phil, "Now Phil, let's discuss some details of this murder, over lunch of course, Tony! Some food over here!"
Giovanni Machetti hands Phil a bottle of beer.
Giovanni Machetti says “Lucrezia, could you please play me some music to remind me of home, eh?”

Brain Rot kills Vincenzo Machetti with a machete. (2008-11-22 17:12)
Brain Rot pulls off Vincenzo Machetti's trousers and rips off his testicles.
Brain Rot says “grab harman manbagz. harm manbagz and nam bra!nz!”

Anthony Machetti quickly cleans up. He takes a stained canvas from the backroom to cover up Vincenzo's body.
You say “Disgusting stronzo, that Rot-head. A complete contrast to your beautiful singing, Lucrezia. Most divine.”
Anthony Machetti brings a pizza to Sympathetic Phil, and a plate of stuffed pasta shells to Giovanni Machetti.

[Anthony Machetti]

Since your last move:


Lucrezia Borgia says “certainly Giovanni, it would be an onore... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Lq4syYEcf8&feature=related”

Lucrezia Borgia says “L' last dream was here a moment it makes. The night it is made thus the day that will come. ”
 “Nell' air flies via a ticket of the tram to walk to quest' now that idea. ”
 “Only he it sleeps calm and it does not know, it does not imagine: fallen in love of me. You will wake up yourself a smile between we, a coffee, ”
 “makes me beautiful for you in the mirror your look that arrives on me. ”
 “But c' he is something in bottom all' spirit that is rebelled to every rule and I feel myself thus free to return from you. ”
 “You sleep calm and you do not know, not images the strange happiness that the night gives and tomorrow between we, a coffee,”
 “ it makes me beautiful for you and to hold secret un' idea only mine.”
 “L' last dream was here a moment it makes. L' last dream was here a moment it makes”
Lucrezia Borgia looks up and smiles at Giovanni.
Lucrezia Borgia says “La casa è un bello posto da essere. ”

Marco Machetti strolls in whistling. "Our friends Saracen paid me a visit again. That makes him two for two."
Marco Machetti does a doubletake. "Who got Vincenzo? Ai ai ai ai!"
Marco Machetti strides to the bar and has a quick glass of beer. "Ah well, that it would come to this."
Marco Machetti says “I have had communication from the governor. He has all but admitted that he is powerless to enforce the law in Durham. We cannot count on receiving justice here. We must make our own justice.”

((At this point, the witness was offered a drink which caused his ears to pop and the ringing sound blocked out all other sound))

Marco Machetti puffs meditatively on his cigar. "The lawlessness in this town is ridiculous. We are targeted unjustly whilst killers roam free."
Marco Machetti says “We shall set an example to the people of Durham by taking positive action against these killers. We will make the streets of Durham safer for the people of Durham.”
Marco Machetti says “Whilst the Magistrate dithers we will see our enemies dead and the people will thank us for it. Such an opportunity should not be wasted, hmmm?”

Solemn smirks to Marco's words. "I like the way you talk, my good man." He tips a shining flask back to his lips for but a moment before corking it once more.
Solemn steps forth, taking off his tophat and shaking hands with the Italian vigorously. "You know the stings that my comrades do. There might very well be some common ground we can speak of some time."

Marco Machetti looks surprised. "Deals? I'll make you an offer..."

((At this point, the witness was distracted by Lucrezia Borgia, and did not hear what was said.))

Marco Machetti says “Do me this favour and I'll consider you a friend of mine. I'll forget those nasty words you spoke of La Famiglia.”

Warzone kills Marco Machetti with a rifle. (2008-11-22 22:46)
Warzone says “You keep up with killings... it makes you a target, which is good for business...”
Warzone says “I'll be a rich man yet.”

Lucrezia Borgia says “Quanto maleducato.”

Solemn says “Warzone is a griefer who only kills whatever is convenient for the Machittys. He killed the Shaman on his first day on his isle when they slayed /zom/.”
Solemn says “His presence here and his actions make me very concerned... Marco. I'll see to plenty.”
Solemn says “Warzone is no mercenary, for if he is, he is a quizzical one.”
Solemn earperks as a note is slipped to him by another messenger in a tophat, and grins as the other fellow disappears. "The fellow, Warzone, has been slain by a /zom/ member. An easy find, but..."
Solemn says “It's a start.”

grf attacks you with a machete for 2 damage. (2008-11-23 01:24)
....And so on...
grf attacks you with a machete for 2 damage. You die. (2008-11-23 01:25)
grf says “waste your ap on me i dont care”
grf says “kill me”

imbacktogrf kills Sympathetic Phil with a machete. (2008-11-23 01:28)
imbacktogrf says “machettis are ”
imbacktogrf kills Enzo Machetti with a machete. (2008-11-23 01:31)
imbacktogrf says “so who wants to suck me off”
imbacktogrf grapples the chin of Betwixt
imbacktogrf says “maybe you? you have a pretty mouth”

Lucrezia Borgia says “Voi :palm:er di madre ammalato, imbacktogrf ”

Solemn kills imbacktogrf with a machete. (2008-11-23 02:00)
Solemn says “Pretty women shouldn't get blood on their blouses.”
Solemn says “This is just ridiculous, gentlemen. We all know the source of the trouble, too. Fie on the forces that be.”

Enzo Machetti sighs.
Enzo Machetti says “Tony, you forgot about my penne...”

Giovanni Machetti says “Oh, whispers.....interesting”

Betwixt notes Giovanni's comment. "It would seem so. This should come in handy."

[Mr White]

Well I just got off the boat. Walked into Club Palermo. Sat down. Lit a cigarette. Went to order some food. Then.

BAM BAM BAM

Three of my hosts were dead. All family. And now I have blood on my ******* shirt. ******* *******. I ain't gonna ******* stand for this ****.

[Enzo Machetti]

Where is the law, eh?

[Anthony Machetti]

Since your last move:
((In which: Brainrot, Sheiu-Ru, and fantasma return to kill patrons and staff; Sunday Mass becomes a Funeral; Sheiu-Ru gets brained by a rifle; Lucrezia Borgia sings Frank Sinatra; Saracen kills Vincenzo Machetti and threatens the peaceful Giovannia Machetti; Sympathetic Phil takes Saracen's hand and doesn't give it back; Warzone attempts to kill Sympathetic Phil, but is interupted; and Solemn restocks the bar.))



Betwixt steps in through the door way, walks over to one of the corner tables & takes a seat. "I'll bet it's them Yorkers driving all the animals away from here. It's like a wasteland out there."

Lawrence Dimmick walks through the restaurante door. "I hear this is the place for good food, and good music. It's been a long time on the boat, I need some good food."
Lawrence Dimmick sits down at one of the empty tables, pulls out a cigarette and proceeds to light it with a match from a matchbook on the table.
Lawrence Dimmick says “Smoke, anyone?”


Giovanni Machetti says “I would love a smoke once I return. Going to see if I can make some more cash.”

Brain Rot kills Solemn with a machete. (2008-11-23 16:37)
Brain Rot attempts to grab Solemn's testicles, but can't seem to find any.

Calzone Machitty says “Hey, tell your fatass brother that if he wants to cast first stone nad keep antagonizing my famiglia, there will be hell to pay.”

Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “So many murders. Has God forgotten this town?”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus clucks his tongue and shakes his head sadly.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus re-enters with a crate of first aid kits and GPS units, stowing them in the corner.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “May I place these in the back, sirs Machetti?”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus checks his watch. "Oh my, and here me doing business on the Lord's day? I forget myself."
Fr. Paul Marcinkus takes some white vestments from the crate and puts them on, along with a jeweled chalice and some candles.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus spreads a red cloth over one of the tables and lights the candles.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Excuse me sirs, I hope you do not mind me using your restaurant as a cathedral. Durham seems to be lacking for churches at the moment.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus narrows his eyes. 'And I assume you are all Catholic.'


You hear a banshee wail coming from all around you, and lose 4 HP from fear. (2008-11-23 21:22)

Sheiu-Ru kills Enzo Machetti with a machete. (2008-11-23 21:23)
Sheiu-Ru attacks you with a machete for 3 damage. (2008-11-23 21:23)
...And so on...
Sheiu-Ru attacks you with a machete for 3 damage. You die. (2008-11-23 21:23)
Sheiu-Ru kills Marco Machetti with a machete. (2008-11-23 21:24)
Sheiu-Ru says “Like, your family is like buzzkill to the town of Durham. Move to someplace like York so Durham can have more peace.”

Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “...I was just about to start a mass...”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus breaks some first aid kits out of the crate and tends to Joe Dolce's wounds.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus points at Sheiu-Ru, finger quivering. "Demon spawn! This is the Lord's day! A day for church going and unity, not murdering and pot-smoking!"

Lucrezia Borgia swings a ghastly jack o'lantern around.

Betwixt stands, grabs his rifle, & begins walking towards Sheiu-Ru. Without bothering to slow down, he grabs his rifle like a baseball bat & hits Sheiu-Ru across the head.
Betwixt says “Just for the priest's sake, i won't go any farther than that.”

Fr. Paul Marcinkus works at moving the bodies to the center of the room, taking the dead from where they fell in their violence to nice orderly rows.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus anoints the foreheads of the deceased while he prays.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus looks at the dwindling numbers in the restaurant.
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Today I was to give a Mass. Unfortunately, it has become a funeral. ”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “I weep for this town and for this island.”

Vincenzo Machetti says “WTF?”

Enzo Machetti says “Sheia-whatever is stronzo of the worst kind. How come member of merglioso ESHC gruppa and a pirate want us out of Durhamese, eh?”

Solemn tips his hat to one and all. "I have returned! Many fellows helped track down that pesky Brain Rot, but alas, we got the sorry lil'blighter, no matter what he did!"

Betwixt walks in grumbling something about IP's & limits.

Joe Dolce plays a mournful dirge on a piano.

Lawrence Dimmick says “Mr. Machetti, please let your family know that although I am not long of this island, I will be happy to help take out the garbage. I cannot stand for good Italian food to be wasted, and no one”
Lawrence Dimmick says “Should be killed in a restaurante, that's sacrilege!”
Lawrence Dimmick puffs on his cigarette, before going outside to look for some garbage.
Lawrence Dimmick says “The garbage seems to have run off. I will do better with tracking after I have been here for a while.”
Lawrence Dimmick sits down at a table, and lights up another cigarette.
Lawrence Dimmick says “Perhaps I can see the menu?”
Lawrence Dimmick says “I ain't putting up with this ******* ****.”

Lucrezia Borgia wakes from her slumber and glides upto the stage.
Lucrezia Borgia says “Buona sera. Tonight the stars twinkle bright in the dark, ink blue sky. ”
Lucrezia Borgia says “so come with me, come fly away with me ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udRuT2j0oGg”

Lucrezia Borgia says “Fly me to the moon”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Let me sing among those stars”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Let me see what spring is like”
Lucrezia Borgia says “On jupiter and mars”
Lucrezia Borgia says “In other words, hold my hand”
Lucrezia Borgia says “In other words, baby kiss me”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Fill my heart with song”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Let me sing for ever more”
Lucrezia Borgia says “You are all I long for”
Lucrezia Borgia says “All I worship and adore”
Lucrezia Borgia says “In other words, please be true”
Lucrezia Borgia says “In other words, I love you”

Lucrezia Borgia smiles and walks towards the kitchen, grabbing a serving tray on her way through the service door.
Lucrezia Borgia emerges a while later with a full tray of molluschi in salsa rossa sopra penne, stufato di aragosta e insalata di verdure.

Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Lovely, lovely, my dear. Nothing like some good old Frankie Blue Eyes to lighten the soul.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Doesn't he live in Derby? Someone should look him up.”

Lucrezia Borgia manages the over-packed tray to the table with Solemn, Vincenzo, Joe, Betwixt, Fr.Paul, Marcinkus and Lawrence, carefully resting it on the edge.

Lucrezia Borgia says “good to see you Fr.Paul.”
Lucrezia Borgia passes out the plates and flatware.
Lucrezia Borgia says “this is not usualy what I am to do here, but I see Anthony is a bit busy, so I though I would lend a hand.”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Godete del vostro pasto.”

Sympathetic Phil storms into the Club, with a face like thunder. "Well that was bloody inconvenient. Someone's gonna pay for that. I didn't even get to finish my bloody pizza!"
Sympathetic Phil says “Give me a minute to get my strength back, and we'll see about sorting a few things out. Oh, hey, Vinny, I passed Our Lady of Dalpok on the way here, on the eastern edge of the grassland.”

Giovanni Machetti says “Friends, brothers, shall we have a round of drinks for my new position!”

Betwixt says “I'll drink to that!”

Saracen kills Vincenzo Machetti with a heavy sword. (2008-11-24 13:22)

Betwixt says “Oi!" Quickly rising from the table. "Who do you think you are strolling in here swinging broadswords around! eh!?”

Saracen says “Keep it up with the criminal activities... I've got more than enough weaponry to hunt you down to the ends of the earth...”
Saracen says “I'd whack Giovanni, too, but he doesn't have any kills on his record...”

Lawrence Dimmick says “Thank you, Lucrezia. For such wonderful food and song. After the evening's killings it allows for some relaxation.”
Lawrence Dimmick eats heartily and then smokes another cigarette.
Lawrence Dimmick says “What the ****? Another killing?! More blood in this beautiful restaurante?! I ain't havin' this.”
Lawrence Dimmick rushes out the door looking for the culprit.

Sympathetic Phil walks into the Club, slightly more grubby and bloodstained than when he left. As he passes Anthony Machetti's table on his way to the bar, he throws a severed hand onto the tabletop.
Sympathetic Phil pulls a face of mock concern. "It seems someone's taught the Minister of Education a lesson of his very own." Phil shakes his head. "The world we live in, eh?"
Sympathetic Phil says “I know you're finger guys, but I've never been one for fine details, so you'll have to excuse the crude handiwork. Hah! And the terrible pun! Boy, has that made me thirsty...”

Solemn says “Ooda-lolly, oodalolly, golly what a day, you griefing fellow!”

Warzone says “Keep up the killings in Durham, boys. I'll be a rich man yet.”

Solemn says “Ahhhh... Vicenzo, Birf, and I just bagged us that Warzone fellow. I hope you're still feeling alright, Phil? Lord knows he tried to do a number on you!”
Solemn swats at Phil's back, albeit carefully. "Oof, have Enzo look'a that, mate..."

Sympathetic Phil looks down at his tattered shirt, freshly riddled with bullet holes. "That jumped-up little sonofabitch 'assassin' Warzone's gonna pay for my bloody dry cleaning, I'll tell you that much."
Sympathetic Phil ceases his mournful contemplation of his shirt, and glances over at Solemn. "Thanks for the timely healing. Say, that's a nice hat. How much do you want for it?"

Marco Machetti wanders in smiling and puffing a cigar. He throws a bloody machete onto the bar and uses a bartowel to clean off the blood.
Marco Machetti says “Hey! Magistrate Giovanni! isn't that a cause for a celebration?”
Marco Machetti points to the machete on the bar. "On the way here I stopped and had a chat with Magistrate Billfred. I left him alive, don't worry."
Marco Machetti says “I want him to squirm a while. Vinny, if you want to slap him around, feel free. Don't kill him just yet.”
Marco Machetti slaps his forehead. "Mama Mia! I forgot! Phil!" He strides quicly to the soldier and slaps him on the back.
Marco Machetti says “You gave us a hand, hey?" He grins at his own joke. "Drinks are on the house! Phil just made himself a name here in Durham!”
Marco Machetti stops and searches. "What's this? I can't find any beer. Water!?!? Anthony? What happened to the beer? You drink it ALL already?"

Solemn tips his tophat to all those gathered here. "Thanks for that bandage, Lucrezia." A kiss upon her hand is her reward.
Solemn blinkblinks to Phil, before grinning and laughing heartily. "My tophat? Why, it's free if you join the ranks of /zom/! You seem like a fine enough fellow to qualify if you're interested."
Solemn says “Or, if you'd prefer, I could have one made up for you by tomorrow's end!”
Solemn takes a deep swig from the bottle of gorgeous rum, and smacks his lips, sighing contently. "Superb, Phil, thank you! One good turn deserves another, I always say..."

Vincenzo Machetti says “Solemn and I have had a good chat - now we drink to our health - grappa - in multiples!”

Solemn grins as he watches Marco dash about for lack of booze. "I think I could help you out there..."
Solemn gives you a bottle of berry juice.
Solemn steals away for a few moments, before returning with his fists wrapped about the necks of wine bottles. "Here we are! Fresh from Malton's remains!" He pours many a healthy glass of red wine.
Solemn places the glasses of wine before the family and friends in celebration, giving them to Marco, Anthony, Phil, and even Dolce. He then prepares a fruity, special drink with an umbrella in it.
Solemn says “The lovely lady gets a Banana Cocktail! Hope you like the kiwi-slice as an accent. Do tell if it's abit much.”
Solemn looks about to everyone without drinks and grins. He reaches in his back-pockets and reveals a fresh supply of rum!
Solemn says “Ahhh, it seems that several people have their hands full. I'll just leave the rum with the Familigia to enjoy, then.”
Solemn places a two pairs of rum-bottles in Marco's care. "There you go!"
Solemn says “And ahh...Here's abit of wine produced locally in the jungle. One heck of a kick it has. Reminds me of Moonshine!”
Solemn offers two gourds of almost blue-looking wine to Marco.
Solemn says “Methinks that should keep the place stocked for a night or two...”
Solemn resumes his seat and nurses the fine rum that Phil had brought him, sighing once more as he seemed to creep into a daze.

Betwixt says “Nothing like some premium rum to liven the spirit!”
Betwixt pours some rum into a glass.
Betwixt checks his ringing beeper, gets up while grabbing his rifle & storms out the door.

Giovanni Machetti says “Glad to see people up and about. Marco, I think we should offer Saracen a real time match, win or lose. One time only, maybe then he'll stop this senseless slaughter. I have noticed he also kills”
Giovanni Machetti says “the Machitty's.”
Giovanni Machetti says “But I think we should celebrate, Anthony, beers all around.”
Giovanni Machetti says “Of course for my promotion into the wonderful world of Justice in Durham.”

Lawrence Dimmick barges throgh the door, cigarette in hand, and throws himself into a chair.

[Marco Machetti]

Club Palermo is experiencing a temporary staff shortage. Normal service will resume as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience.

[Enzo Machetti]

"Since your last move:"
in which:
- Lucrezia Borgia makes two stunningly beautiful stage appearances
- Padre Marcinkus shows his vast knowledge in the field of business and economy as well as making long stories short resumees.
- Minister of Education presents himself rather as a law enforcer and also teaches us all the word "KABLAM"
- Shovelly Joe wants to become an ambulance driver
- Kesku does a lot of scratching and carving
- Birf finds a corpse in his soup
- and some other things happen too.


Marco Machetti appears in a puff of logic. "I think I'm going to have to make a point soon."
Solemn nods to Marco. "Methinks that'd be wise, my good man."

Giovanni Machetti says “Enzo, there is a rogue spirit in the med hut, you may want to check it out.”
Giovanni Machetti says “Anthony, some of the special tonight yes?”
Giovanni Machetti says “Father, share a story if you don't mind.”

Solemn drags a crimson, overstuffed leather chair and settles it into a corner. He plops into it and gives a deep sigh. "Ahhhh...Oh! I put down Warzone with the help of Tramline. Good times..."

Lucrezia Borgia says “bella sera, gentlemen ... ”
Lucrezia Borgia rises from her seat and walks to the bar, her boots echo with each heel strike.
Lucrezia Borgia flips her hair, covering her face for a moment as she sweeps it to one side with her hand, turning to face the crowd she smiles.
Lucrezia Borgia says “I have a intimo song for you tonight. Goda di: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtBaTenSH6s”

Lucrezia Borgia says “Je T'Aime. Je T'Aime tu ju. I am forever yours”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Sweet dreams. .. Sweet dreams mocuer, .. your' always in my prayer”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Softly .. Sweetly .. Wrapped up in heaven's arms”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Sailing .. Soaring .. Over the moon .. Gathering star dust”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Be still .. Be safe .. Be sure”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Je T'Aime .. Je T'Aime tu ju”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Wishing .. Praying .. All of your dreams come true”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Please remember .. Where you are .. My heart is with you”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Sweet dreams .. Sweet dreams mocuer .. Always in my prayers”
Lucrezia Borgia says “I am forever yours”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Je T'Aime”
Lucrezia Borgia says “Je T'Aime tu ju”

Lucrezia Borgia raises a freshly filled glass from the bar out in front of her and says, "a vita".

Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “A story, Giovanni?”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Well, you and your brothers are businessmen. Perhaps I shall tell you a story of wise investing.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “There was a man travelling to a far country. He called to his servants and gave them his goods.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “To the first servant, he gave five gold coins. To the second, two and to the last, one.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “The man left on his journey. The first servant took his five gold coins and went and traded and made another five gold coins.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “And likewise, he that received two, also gained another two.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “But the last servant dug in the earth and hid his master's money.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “The master returned from his journey and called for accounting.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “The first servant said 'Master, you gave me five gold coins and behold, I have gained five more."”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “His master said to him 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I shall make you master of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “The second servant came and said 'You gave me two gold coins, and behold, I have gained two more."”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “And the master repeated "Well done, good and faithful servant. I will make you master of many things. Enter into the joy of your lord."”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “The last servant approached the master and said:”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Lord, I know you are a hard man. reaping where you have not sown, gathering where you have not strawed, and I was afraid, so I went and hid your gold in the ground. Lo, there you have what is yours.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “His master spoke: "Wicked and slothful servant, you know what I do. You should have put my money into the banks and then at my coming, I would have gained what is mine with interest.'”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “"Take therefore the gold coin from him and give it to the man with ten gold coins."”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “For to everyone that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that have not shall be taken away even that which he has.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Cast the unprofitable servant into darkness. There shall be a wailing and gnashing of the teeth.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus takes a sip of his beer and winks at Giovanni.

Sympathetic Phil clatters into the Club and flops onto a sofa with a sigh. He pulls off his boot, revealing a grimy sock with several toes poking out, and with another sigh starts rubbing his foot.
Sympathetic Phil says “I'll tell you what, I don't mind the being shot and stabbed, but all this walking is bloody killing me.”
Sympathetic Phil jabs a thumb at the door. "Are we sorting out that arsehole 'policeman' Stiltskin yet? He's hanging around just outside is all. Anyone fancy bacon for breakfast?
Sympathetic Phil looks up from cleaning his fingernails with a knife. "Bit quiet in here today, isn't it? No drinking, no singing, no murdering... You guys aren't going soft on me are you?"

Shovelly Joe says “Uh... can you tell him I'll be in the FAK-U hut? I'd rather not hang around here - I hear an aquaintance of mine is working for you? He's called Phil? We, uh, don't get on.”
Shovelly Joe says “He's an uncouth brute, always drinking and wenching. And you should here some of the stories he tells! Quite inappropriate, I must say. And as for the language he uses... A most unpleasant man.”
Shovelly Joe shakes his head disgustedly. "Uh, anyway, if you could pass my message on? Thank you, sorry to bother you." Joe turns to leave, and bumps into a table, rattling the glasses. "Sorry, sorry..."

Sympathetic Phil squelches into the Club, scowling and dripping water with every step. "I lost the bastard. I've been swimming around like a bloody fish out there."
Sympathetic Phil says “Bloody 'Minister of Education.' He could give lessons in running away like a little bloody girl, I'll give him that. I need a few things, those sharks gave me a couple of nasty nips. Back in a bit...”

Sympathetic Phil barges his shoulder into Billfred as he enters the Club, sending Billfred staggering. "Sorry, ma'am, I didn't see you there." Phil doffs his cap mockingly. "My apologies..." (2008-12-09 19:48)
Sympathetic Phil grins, but there's a glint in his eye incongruous with his otherwise-friendly expression. (2008-12-09 19:49)
Sympathetic Phil claps his hand onto Billfred's shoulder. "Take a seat, Magistrate. We've got a lot to talk about." Phil tightens his grip, and Billfred winces as he is pushed down into a chair. (2008-12-09 19:51)
Sympathetic Phil holds two fingers up. "A couple of drinks for me and my ladyfriend, please barkeep. Beer for me, something sweet for her." (2008-12-09 19:52)
Sympathetic Phil pulls up a chair next to Billfred, and sits down. "I hear you've been a bad boy, Magistrate. Not setting a good example for the people of this town at all. My my, no." (2008-12-09 19:54)
Sympathetic Phil thanks the bartender as he puts down a beer and something colourful with bits of fruit on sticks poking out of the top. "Well isn't that pretty?" (2008-12-09 19:57)
Sympathetic Phil pushes the cocktail over to Billfred, and resumes the conversation. "I've got a lot of respect for the law, Billo. You don't mind if I call you Billo, do you? Anyway, I want to help you." (2008-12-09 19:58)
Sympathetic Phil purses his lips witha thoughtful expression. "Now I've been racking my brains, and one thing keeps coming up again and again..." (2008-12-09 20:08)
Sympathetic Phil claps his hand on Billfred's shoulder again and looks him in the eye. "I don't know how to break this to you, but I've come to the conclusion that you're just not cut out for a life of lawmaking." (2008-12-09 20:10)

Billfred says “and that is why I need to be killed, the Roaming Shaman should help me on my way...” (2008-12-09 20:12)

Sympathetic Phil frowns sympathetically. "I really think the best thing for you to do would be to leave Durham, and forget about this whole sorry mess. Don't you agree? It'd be for your own good, really." (2008-12-09 20:13)

Billfred says “....see above” (2008-12-09 20:13)
Billfred says “If you're not going to make me leave, I'll leave myself” (2008-12-09 20:14)

Sympathetic Phil grimaces. "I'm a peace-loving man, Magistrate. I hope you aren't asking me to compromise my long-held values?" (2008-12-09 20:14)
Sympathetic Phil holds out his hands admiringly. "These are the hands of a lover, not a fighter. Ask any prostitute." (2008-12-09 20:15)
Sympathetic Phil chuckles. "Anyway, as I was saying, we'll all be desolate to see you go, but we'll always have this time together to remember." Phil wipes a mock tear from his eye, and looks over at Father Paul. (2008-12-09 20:17)
Sympathetic Phil says “Why is it always the good that are taken from us Father? Are they too perfect for this imperfect world in which we toil?” (2008-12-09 20:18)
Sympathetic Phil lets slide his look of martyred sorrow, and turns his head back to Billfred. "I thought you said you were leaving, Magistrate? You wouldn't want to overstay your welcome, would you?" (2008-12-09 20:20)

Billfred says “I can go then?” (2008-12-09 20:21)

[dolce ciera]

Gnocchi Machitty says “Stay off Machitty turf, and Machitty turf stay offa you, capiche?”

Sgt Nicholas Angel says “Jacobi if you want to fight keep it out of the town, I'll put you on the KOS list if kill without provocation in town”
Sgt Nicholas Angel says “and the takeover of Creedy doesn't count, as you have said Creedy isn't apart of Durham keep your fight out of Durham”

Settled says “Um...Last I checked, not a soul within the government recognized the Durham Police as legit. Kindly don't toss around KOS threats.”

Lucrezia Borgia scarfs her food down without a single look up. Her voracity finally fulfilled with the appearance of her cleaned plate.
You say “Giovanni, that was masterfull. I feel like a new woman again.”
Lucrezia Borgia spins on her bar seat and faces the crowd, a contented smile upon her tanned face.
You say “Vincenzo, Giovanni and Phil, I am so happy to see you all. It has felt like a lifetime since I have been home.”
You say “Jacobi, Calliope, Nicholas and Settled, it is lovely to meet you all. Enjoying the Club I hope ?”
Sympathetic Phil sighs loudly. "Lucrezia, it's felt like longer for us, believe me. It comes to something when Giovanni's the best-looking person you've seen in three days..."
Sympathetic Phil leers at Giovanni. "If Calliope here hadn't turned up, I don't know what I would have done to him."
Sympathetic Phil turns back to his drink, and calls derisively over his shoulder. "Kill on sight, sergeant? Is that if they stand in one place for three days? Is the paperwork getting on top of you?"
Sympathetic Phil snorts. "Policemen and 'resistance' fighters... What a crock of . Someone break out the rum, I'm gonna need a stiff drink to get me through this."

Pirate Longtongue enters the hut quietly... a few faces seem familiar as he looks around. Spotting Calliope he smiles.. his tongue slithers in a flash.. restraining, he greets those looking his way..

Commodore Jacobi looks at Sympathetic Phil with dissapointment. "I thought you would be more understanding"
Commodore Jacobi says “You must understand that without your help we will continue to be oppressed.”
Commodore Jacobi looks around at the faces of the people
Commodore Jacobi says “Your all being put down. Your all living in poverty, although I wouldn't call this place impovershed.”

Pirate Longtongue says “Greetings Durhamites... I was just wondering if I could abide in some liquid spirits" ...sensing the real spirit he clarifies his request "sex on the beach? ...a little different then my diet of rum.”
Pirate Longtongue bows his head slightly, "sorry, I didn't know I was interupting"

Sympathetic Phil laughs contemptuously. "Your rhetoric leaves something to be desired, Jacobi. Did those cliches come in a job lot? Sod off, you jumped up little tit."
Sympathetic Phil shakes his head. "Oppressed? Impoverished? Put down? Oh no, Giovanni, please stop giving me all this beer and gold and letting me stay in your fancy Club!"
Sympathetic Phil curls his lip. "Give me a :palm:ing break..."

Pirate Longtongue grabbing a beer makes his way to a table in the corner.. sitting, he relaxes as the drama unfolds.. Glancing over to Calliope he grins..

NekoMaid walks over to Phil and slaps his face.
NekoMaid says “How dare you come inside of FAK-U and make such a mess. Do you know how long it takes to clean up blood and piss from wood?”
NekoMaid says “Not only is it going to take a few days to clean up the place, but you also got blood all over Cyadora's and my dress.”
NekoMaid storms out of the hut grumbling about inconsiderate people.

Giovanni Machetti says “WHOA! PHIL! HA! And you said you were good with women.”

Commodore Jacobi turns to Giovanni. "You can hardly beileve the words of a madman."
Commodore Jacobi says “That is why I have chosen to ignore the remarks of Phil. The resistance already has supporters. Phil does nothing but piss and moan, as NekoMaid has told us.”

Brain Rot attacks you with a machete for 3 damage. You die.
Brain Rot says “Graaaagh!”

Lucrezia Borgia walks back into the Club after her harrowing experience and sits at the tables in the main dining area.
You say “Sgt Nicholas Angel, I must commend you swift hand of justice on my behalf. Grazie molto.”
You turn the gps unit off.
You say “i do not have a way to repay you except for my word about not making Durham bloodier than it already is.”
Lucrezia Borgia starts to play with the salt and pepper as she politely orders another large breakfast and patiently waits eating some stale soup crackers she found in a bowl.

Sympathetic Phil walks over to where Vincenzo lounges at the bar, and bends his head to Vinny's ear with a concerned expression.

Giovanni Machetti looks surprised, "We got company now, Lucrezia, how about some music?"

Solemn tips his hat to Phil, then proffers a stark ebon tophat with a royal-purple band about the base. "Here you are, good sir! It too me ages to find that damned dye!"

Lucrezia Borgia looks up from eatting and nods to Giovanni.
Lucrezia Borgia finishes every crumb of her prima colazione and wips her mouth gingerly with a cloth napkin before standing up.
You say “I have been without practice for a while, I shall il mio meglio.”
Lucrezia Borgia walks upto the stage and presses the small red button on that familiar wooded box attached to the wall. From all around you hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85YY3acug2A
Lucrezia Borgia smiles as the bright stage lights illuminate her long, dark hair. She takes the mic and begins.
You say “Oh luna rossa, you're out tonight, a moon of red in a sky of white,”
You say “Because I'm selling a lie tonight, and blushing moon, you know of it.”
You say “Oh lunna rossa, you're smart at love”
You say “You know I'm playing the part of love, I try my hand in the art of love,”
You say “Just for the thrill and glow of it. Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa,”
You say “For the vows I made tonight that are untrue, What else am I to do?”
You say “But blushing moon, there's a reason why, The love I longed for has passed me by,”
You say “And so I play at the game but I, I am lonely, luna rossa.”
You say “Luna rossa, forgive me, luna rossa, For the vows I made tonight that are untrue,”
You say “What else am I to do?”
You say “But blushing moon, there's a reason why, The love I longed for has passed me by,”
You say “And so I play at the game but I, I am lonely, luna rossa.”
You say “I am lonely, luna rossa. ”
Lucrezia Borgia hears the music end as her voice fades into nothing.
You say “with a sleepy smile she makes her way back to the main tables and sits next to Giovanni and Phil. She rubs her belly and orders a large glass of latte.”

You say “that Gazemeister fellow was just in here hitting Calliope, he has run off, but I am too tired to persue him.”

You say “Gazemeister, is one sw and three south on the beach.”

Sympathetic Phil applauds. “Bravissimo! Lucrezia, you’ll never know how much we’ve missed your dulcet tones. Have you ever heard Vinny sing when he’s had a few?” Phil shudders theatrically.
Sympathetic Phil looks at the empty plate in front of Lucrezia. “Don’t get me wrong, I love my women with a few curves, but hadn’t you better take it easy? You’ve already got a bit of a belly coming on…”
Sympathetic Phil grins, and winks. He leans across and speaks softly in Lucrezia’s ear for a moment, grins again, and gives her a kiss on the cheek.

Sympathetic Phil looks enquiringly at Calliope, his expression turning dark. “Is that true, Cal? You want me to go have a word with the little snot?”

Lucrezia Borgia smiles at Phil
Lucrezia Borgia sips her milk and looks happy.

Commodore Jacobi looks at Phil. "If you kill me, I will have no choice but to go and cry like a little girl. And you won't like me when I start crying like a little girl.
Commodore Jacobi walks out the door.

Sympathetic Phil gestures crudely at Commodore Jacobi's retreating back, and mutters sourly, "What makes him think we'd be able to hear it, after I stick his head up his own arse?"
Sympathetic Phil swallows the last of his drink and stands up. “I’m going to take your silence for demure assent, Cal. I’ll see you guys in a bit…” Phil rolls his shoulders and heads for the door.
Sympathetic Phil enters the Club, whistling a jolly tune. He swaggers over to Calliope’s table, and fishes around in his coat pocket for a moment. “I got you a present while I was out, pretty lady!”
Sympathetic Phil drops a bloody ear on the table in front of Calliope. “I know it’s not every woman’s idea of a gift, but I don’t take you for much of a shrinking violet.” Phil bows mockingly. “My compliments…”
Sympathetic Phil sits back down, looking immensely pleased with himself, and takes a deep congratulatory swig of beer.
Sympathetic Phil raises his tankard to Solemn. "Oh, hey, cheers for the hat, buddy, it's a beauty. I'll think of you every time I tip it jauntily at some uppity little oik."

Solemn lets the serene notes bathe over him as he enjoys the song. "Sinatra was born too early to fawn over your voice, m'dear."
Solemn tips a shining silver flask towards the lovable ruffian, Phil. "No worries, mate. Sorry it took so long in getting to ye'. The stovepip part's got an actual stovepipe in it, so have at!"
Solemn says “Couldn't find any better armor plating for it. I hope the lads down at the York Canteen don't mind it missing..."”

Commodore Jacobi walks back in. "Interesting walk.
Commodore Jacobi realizes he messed up his grammer.
Commodore Jacobi goes over to the bar and pours himself a glass of some liquid. He takes a sip and grimaces.
Commodore Jacobi says “Glass cleaner... thats the third time that happened.”
Commodore Jacobi pours the glass cleaner back into the bottle, and picks up a bottle of rum.
Commodore Jacobi says “Thats better”
Commodore Jacobi takes a swig, then sits down. He looks in the direction of Sympathetic Phil, and throws a peanut at him.

Sympathetic Phil looks in the direction of Commodore Jacobi, and throws a pewter tankard at him.
Sympathetic Phil roars with laughter as the tankard hits Commodore Jacobi in the side of the head, and he crashes backwards off his chair and into a heap on the floor.
Sympathetic Phil picks the peanut up off the table, and tosses it in his mouth. "I prefer dry roasted, comrade Jacobi, but salted'll do, I suppose."

Lucrezia Borgia giggles and watches

Sympathetic Phil winks at Lucrezia, and tips his fancy new hat, jauntily. "Looks pretty good, huh?"
You say “you seem even more dashing than I remember Phil, what a lovely asset.”
Sympathetic Phil brushes at an imaginary speck of dust on his jacket. "It's the clean living and regular exercise, don't you know."
Sympathetic Phil pours himself another drink, and looks around the Club with a puzzled expression. "Hey, Gio, did you have some work done while I was out? The place seems a bit less... dishevelled..."
Sympathetic Phil nods appreciatively. "Looks good. I'll try not to make so much mess, in the future. Of course, people do insist on making it difficult for me."
Sympathetic Phil takes a drink, and rolls his eyes meaningfully in Commodore Jacobi's direction. "Very difficult, sometimes."

Hut

You are standing in a wooden hut.

Carved on the wall is some writing. It reads “Club Palermo”.

Lucrezia Borgia beams a glowing smile at the amazing transformation.
You say “Eccellente!!!”

Commodore Jacobi picks up his chair and tosses it at Sympathetic Phil. He then ducks under his table.
Commodore Jacobi notices a handful of more peanuts underneath the table. He picks them up and continues to throw them at Sympathetic Phil.

Giovanni Machetti stands up and screams, "ENOUGH OF THIS !"
Giovanni Machetti points at Phil, "He comes in here and buys a drink, he is a customer, and a customer doesn't get on.
Giovanni Machetti points at Jacobi, "And you, come in here and spout your nonsense of a better Durham, then act like a fool? No more of this, you continue this behavior, and him shall make sure you never come
Giovanni Machetti says “back here again, CHUBBISH!"”

Nate Hale says “I now rule Durham, my forces have routed Durham Utility and the ex Governor is afraid to show his face. My first act as Governor is to declare free drinks for everyone”
Nate Hale says “The Government is picking up the tab. Lets Party”

Commodore Jacobi looks at Giovanni. "I apologize for my transgressions." Commodore Jacobi looks at Nate Hale. "The nationalists tried that once before, and it failed miserably."

Sympathetic Phil glowers at Commodore Jacobi. "We're not through, 'comrade.' The boss has said no , so now there'll be for now - but if you ever cross me, you'll be in it up to your bloody neck."
Sympathetic Phil looks speculatively at Nate Hale. "Free drinks, eh? That's the sort of Government I could really get behind. You'll have to excuse some slight scepticism on my part, though..."
Sympathetic Phil shrugs. "...at least until I see some actual hooch. Make with the drinks, Hale, and we'll take it from there."

Vincenzo Machetti slams the door of the club shut behind him - "OY Hale!"
Vincenzo Machetti says “Yeah - you. Who the do you thinka you are, killing the bank manager?”
Vincenzo Machetti says “I ain't hearin' no answers.....”
Vincenzo Machetti looks for reinforcements....

Stiltskin grabs Nate! "You have a problem understanding, don't you? Leave the banker alone".

Vincenzo Machetti kills Nate Hale with a rifle.
Vincenzo Machetti says “One shot, one kill - learna da lesson!”

Stiltskin slaps Vincenzo on the back. "Nice work there Vinny." Stilskin laughs, and leaves the Club.

Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Lotta paganism going on through that blue glowy thing.”
Fr. Paul Marcinkus says “Nice orchard though.”

Sympathetic Phil tilts his head to one side with a frown. "So what happens to the free drinks?"
Sympathetic Phil shakes his head sadly. "Governments come and go, but the lies remain the same. I should know better than to dream..."
Sympathetic Phil says “Welcome back, Padre." He tosses a small bag of coins to the Father, which land with a clink on the table. "Here, God can look after these for a while. Tell him I know how much is in there, though!"

Lucrezia Borgia watches Fr.Paul enter the club, and is delighted to see him again
Lucrezia Borgia stands up and makes her way over to him at the bar.
You say “oh Father, I am so glad to see you again.”
Lucrezia Borgia hugs Fr. Paul, a bit awakwardly, then stands tall and looks him in the eyes.
You say “I believe I need your blessings here.”
Lucrezia Borgia rubs her swollen belly and looks to the Father with hope and a tear in her eye.
You say “Marco was quite persistant about the matter, but I am scared now that he is gone.”
You say “I need your devine guidence.”
Lucrezia Borgia holds Fr.Paul's arm and rests her head on his broad shoulder.

Giovanni Machetti says “Crap, I need more beers....”
Giovanni Machetti says “Got some beers, good good”

Nate Hale says “Now that that unfortunate business is behind us lets party”

Sympathetic Phil peers into his tankard pointedly. "Looks like I'm running a little dry here, Hale... I'd hate to think you were just another all-mouth-and-no-trousers bull:palm:ter."

Nate Hale says “Of course there is free beer outside in the hole, when your stein gets empty go outside and dig a beer up, when the hole gets empty I'll fill it back up.”
Nate Hale says “Now lets get some Sinatra playing and party!”
Nate Hale says “New Government Decree! Thursdays are now called Bon Jovi Fridays, by law you got to drink and around all day cause everyone has Friday off.”
Nate Hale says “Thats another Government rule three day weekends”

Sympathetic Phil sits back and crosses his arms. "That sounds a little too much like work for my liking, Hale. I want a beer, in my hand, without having to stand up, or even move my hand too far - or no dice."
Sympathetic Phil glances over at Commodore Jacobi, takes a closer look, and rolls his eyes in exasperation. "Bloody hellfire, that little bastard Warzone is completely useless."

Nate Hale says “Well maybe someone will be nice and bring you a beer”

Sympathetic Phil says “He puts the '' in assassin. Both of them in fact.” Phil winces. “OK, I know that wasn't my A material, but I can't just go from politics to comedy at the drop of a hat.”
Sympathetic Phil ducks back into the Club, leaving a trail of wet, sandy footprints behind him. He takes a seat at Calliope and Giovanni's table.

Sympathetic Phil slides a small package wrapped in a blood-soaked handkerchief across the table to Calliope with a smile, and leans in to whisper something in Giovanni's ear.

Pizza Machitty says “Trader issa loaded with FAKK”
Pizza Machitty says “A”

Lucrezia Borgia lifts her head from Father Paul's shoulder and smiles into his face. I will do right by your words.
Lucrezia Borgia begins to hum: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR4QdhCCIag and then starts to sing, swaying and holding fast to Father's arm.
You say “Non ho l'eta, non ho l'eta per amarti. Non ho l'eta per uscire sola con te”
You say “E non avrei, non avrei nulla da dirti. Perche tu sai molte piu cose di me”
You say “Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico. Nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no, non ho l'eta, non ho l'eta per amarti”
You say “Non ho l'eta per uscire sola con te se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi, quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te”
You say “Lascia ch'io viva un amore romantico, nell'attesa che venga quel giorno, ma ora no”
You say “Non ho l'eta, non ho l'eta per amarti. Non ho l'eta per uscire sola con te”
You say “Se tu vorrai, se tu vorrai aspettarmi, quel giorno avrai tutto il mio amore per te ”
Lucrezia Borgia lowers her head into Fr.Paul's steady form once again, needing his reassuring presence to calm her.
You say “I will be strong for La Famiglia di Machetti. I will do the right thing.”

[dolce ciera]

Sgt Nicholas Angel says “Who else needs a beer”

Vincenzo Machetti says “Hale - who the do you think you are, coming in here and decreeing what honest Durhamites do? You may be a self-professed ruler, but when your in OUR Club, you're just another ......”
Vincenzo Machetti says “...who wandered in off the street. If you wanna do something useful, get back out there and sort out.”

Stiltskin storms in and smacks Nate in the face. "You bastard! I've got business to sort out with you!"

Vincenzo Machetti says “Looks like the cavalry has arrived!”

Stiltskin grabs Nate and pushes him up to the wall. "Have you ever had a look at your guts?" Stilskin pulls out his knife and starts to carve Nate up. From the crotch to the throat. "You like that?"

Vincenzo Machetti says “Don't just sit there bleeding, Nate! Where's your spunk?”

Stiltskin looks at Nate as he falls to the floor. "Still alive I see." Stilskin drops his knife and pulls out his cutlass. "This will do the trick..."

Stiltskin kills Nate Hale with a cutlass.

Vincenzo Machetti says “FFS, Stiltskin! That's another body we gotta dispose of! The graveyard's getting a bit full and cleaning all the blood us is a nasty business.”

Stiltskin wipes the blood from his cutlass, picks up his knife and looks at the lifeless body. "I hate resorting to violence Nate, but you gave me no choice. Someone clean this mess up."
Stiltskin says “Sorry Vinny! I lost my temper.”

Vincenzo Machetti hands Stiltskin a mop and bucket - "Your , you clean it"
Vincenzo Machetti says “"NOW"”

Stiltskin sighs deep. "Well, I have some to sort out. Uhm, sorry for the mess, did'nt mean to make it so bloody in here." Stiltskin tips his hat and strides through the door.
Stiltskin stops as Vinny gives him the bucket...
Stiltskin looks around! "Come'on man!"
Stiltskin hands the mop and bucket to Giovanni. "I know you'll do a great job with this Gio."

[dolce ciera]

Giovanni Machetti says “Okay, seriously, next time use the back room for killing, that's why it's there in the first place.”

Calliope Grieve awakens, yawning, blinking and noticing the now-dried ear and the package on the table. And the slices in her jacket and trousers. She
Calliope Grieve says “flips a corner of the kerchief back, studying the contents curiously, then nods. "Ok, I can put two and two together. So to speak. Was it that little snot Gaz? ”
Calliope Grieve says “Little . Does he know how hard it is to find leggings like this on this island? I'll be right back.”
Calliope Grieve says “Hmm...how odd, there's a body floating in the surf with a torn out scrotum. And I have it on good authority sharks don't find those appealing...”

Nate Hale says “There is always an unfortunate pking period of a new reign, this will be sorted out soon, until then lets party its a Bon Jovi Friday”
Nate Hale says “beer is outside lets get trashed and listen to Sinatra”

Vincenzo Machetti says “You won't like me when I'm drunk, Hale.......”
Vincenzo Machetti says “See this boom-stick, as the natives call them? You're on the business end of it, pal”

Nate Hale says “no free beer for you then”
Nate Hale says “I know Vinny is also you Stiltskin this is the third time your actions have synched up cut this out or I'll start taking you out”
Nate Hale says “Now it is a Bon Jovi Friday and I'm not letting some self rightous vigilante ruin it”

Vincenzo Machetti kills Nate Hale with a rifle.

Stiltskin takes the bucket and mop back from Gio and looks at Vincenzo. He sighs! "You think I'm making a mess Vinny?" Stilskin grumbles a bit and starts to clean up. Suddenly he slips in the blood...
Stiltskin flips around and hits the floor with a thud! "! VINNY! This is the first and last time I'm cleaning up after you." Stiltskin gets up and proceeds with his duty, grumbling even more than before.

Vincenzo Machetti says “First - check. Last? - we'll see about that. Oh - and you missed a bit.”

Sgt Nicholas Angel says “Don't this up Stiltskin he's brought us free beer and three day weekends, you to forgive and let things go”
Sgt Nicholas Angel says “yes he's an but he is governor now and will be until at least friday”
Sgt Nicholas Angel says “That gives me an idea who wants to place bets on when this new government collapses”

Vincenzo Machetti says “Forgive me father, but self-professed rulers do tend to get my goat, as you know”

Giovanni Machetti says “Phil, how's your search for the Prophet Edward coming along?”
Giovanni Machetti hands a beer to Valkyrie, "I must say, nice getup you are wearing gorgeous
Giovanni Machetti gives you a bottle of mango juice.
Giovanni Machetti hands one to Lucrezia, "No beer for you, have some juice."
Giovanni Machetti throws the mop at Stiltskin, "Mop it yourself. No beer till you clean it up."

Stiltskin drops the mop and looks at Nick in anger. "You know he got the shaman killed don't you? And that he killed Matt three times on his way to become Governor? You bet your I'll this up!"

Vincenzo Machetti says “This is the way we run the club, ladies and gents - our club and you're all welcome - but cross the family and you WILL suffer for your actions?”
Vincenzo Machetti says “That implies that Jacobi and the Sarge should consider their appointments while in here - enjoy the ale and relax.”

You say “delicious Giovanni, thank you very much”

[Cheesesteak]

woohoo Bon Jovi Friday. I say we support this coup; its leaders are chill to the max. 

[dolce ciera]

Sgt Nicholas Angel says “You need to relax Stiltskin its a Bon Jovi friday, ask yourself what would JBJ do? You got to learn how to forgive, how many times have you killed the Governor when will it be enough”
Sgt Nicholas Angel says “Sit down and crack open and cold one, be sure to have a beer too.”
Sgt Nicholas Angel says “I may burn in hell for telling a necrophillia joke but I think it was worth it”

Vincenzo Machetti says “I know your poison, Phil ”

Valkyrie Wilde shrugs. "Mmm. Thanks, but I prefer root beer."

Nate Hale says “Stiltskin you and your "friend" are banned for participating in Bon Jovi Fridays, but don't worry I haven't forgoten your transgressions each will be repaid”
Nate Hale says “You need to shut it too, everytime you kill me you make into a theatrical production. I swear will some of the you've been spouting I'd kill myself just so I don't have to hear it.”

Solemn says “Oh stuff it, Nate. For Christ's sake, you're no better than any Tom, Dick, and Harry walking outside, stinking up this damn peninsula.”
Solemn says “Go soak your head and get some done.”

Nate Hale says “I would but I declaired three day weekends, I'll get done Monday. Besides after all that Creedy bull:palm: a couple months ago you're going to lecture me, look in a mirror”

Stiltskin steps up to Nate..." you Nate!"

Stiltskin says “I'm tired of our Bon Jovi bull:palm:! ”

Stiltskin kills Nate Hale with a rifle.

Solemn says “Well, I've got more experience than YOU would then, Nate. Excellent argument. Do come back with abit of sense in ye'.”

Stiltskin looks at Nate's body and then at Solemn. "Hopefully he'll stay away for a while." Stilskin grabs a chair and sits down, scrambles his pockets and picks up a cigarette.
Stiltskin sparks up a match, lights his cigarette and looks at everyone in the club. "Hey, I'll let him live the next time I see him." Stiltskin leans back in his chair, looking very pleased with himself...

Vincenzo Machetti says “seems Nate's not having a good 24 hours!”

Lucrezia Borgia looks up smiling and grabs two guitars from behind the bar
Lucrezia Borgia walks over to Calliope and hands her one, then smiling sits down next to her and winks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEBS2ypML4E
Lucrezia Borgia taps her foot in time as Calliope starts plucking, her talent apparent immediately.
You say “ It's all the same, only the names will change. Everyday it seems we're wasting away.”
You say “Another place where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home.”
You say “I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive. Wanted dead or alive”
You say “Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days, and the people I meet always go their separate ways.”
You say “Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink and times when you're alone all you do is think.”
You say “I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride. I'm wanted dead or alive. Wanted dead or alive”
You say “I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back, I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back.”
You say “I been everywhere, and I'm standing tall, I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all.”
You say “I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride, I'm wanted dead or alive.”
You say “I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side, I'm wanted dead or alive”
You say “And I ride, dead or alive, I still drive, dead or alive.”
You say “Dead or alive, Dead or alive, Dead or alive, Dead or alive.”
Lucrezia Borgia finishes with Calliope, and mouths, "thank you" as she returns the guitars behind the bar.
Lucrezia Borgia mixes a fancy drink and returns to Calliope, handing it to her and sitting back down.
You say “thanks, that was a job, eccellente, Calliope.”

Stiltskin shines up. "That was actually a really nice song." He applause and smiles big in joy! He looks to Lucrezia and Calliope. "Lovley performance ladies."

Jerry Moore kills Stiltskin with a machete.
Jerry Moore says “I'll be back for you vinny”

Stiltskin strolls in, whisteling and swinging his cutlass. "I guess he'll be back in a while! I'll be ready that time." Stiltskin grabs a glass and fills it with rum, downs in and fills it up again.

Sympathetic Phil looks hurt at Calliope’s less-than-enthusiastic response. Then he catches sight of the naked redhead sat in the corner, and his face brightens. “Wylde, eh? I like the sound of that.”
Sympathetic Phil wanders over to join Giovanni at the bar. He stops in passing and prods Nate Hale’s body with his rifle. “Still no beer, Hale? I knew it. What a crock of .”
Sympathetic Phil says “I think you’d best be keeping out of Club Palermo. Between the bull:palm: and the lack of respect you’re showing for my good friends Vinny and Stilts, you’re on the list. So bugger off, eh?”
Sympathetic Phil gives the body another prod. “If you don’t, well, you can consider yourself livin’ on a prayer. And I keep the faith. Always. There’ll be no blaze of glory for you and your political career.”
Sympathetic Phil takes a seat at the bar, and looks around at the pained expressions in the crowd. “What?”
Sympathetic Phil looks Stilts up and down. "Well, you don't seem too badly off, considering what just happened. Let me grab a drink, and we'll see what we can do about that Moore bastard."

Stiltskin downs his second glass of rum and fills it the third time. "It takes more than that to take me out. If he shows up again, he'll taste some steel."

Vincenzo Machetti says “He'll be back for me? HA - got more front than Derby's Golden Mile, that one!”
Vincenzo Machetti enters the hut looking innocent and whistling a happy tune
Vincenzo Machetti says “All this rnforcement work makes a man thirsty!”

Giovanni Machetti looks exhausted, "I'm done for day, see you guys tomorrow.

Spaghetti Machitty says “Il trader is pumped with cassetti di pronto soccorso.”

Those puns were awful. Phil should be ashamed of himself.
