Well Hello Thar

[And here's Firo, his clothing once again riddled through with bullet holes. This time, however, his chopper is slung over his shoulder on a leather strap. He swipes sweat from his forehead, yelling orders obliviously.]

Lyman, Warren, around back! See what's holding 'em up. I've got this way covered, and don't argue!

[Blink. Blink blink. He groans.] Just plug me and put me out of my misery. How did I get here?

[Studying Firo] You've show up twice with bullet holes in your clothes. You're getting into gun fights during the Prohibition and somehow you don't seem like the police type.

[Sheds his gun, setting it down on the plane and trying to loosen up his shoulders.]

You say 'the Prohibition' like it ends.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Because it does, eventually.

Uhh...Firo? You okay?

No!!

[Remembers what the end of Prohibition will mean for some] You'll be one of the people hit hard when there's no more need for the black market in alcohol, won't you?

[Glare] Stop talking about my life like some scrub's history lesson! What'll happen to the Alveare? What'll happen to the family? Tell me something useful, why don't you?!

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound that way.

I can't really answer those questions. I only learned the basics of American history in school and we come from different worlds, remember? Things probably happened differently in your world. I'll see if I can find records if you like but it might not be good news.

At least you have warning now. Maybe you can figure out some way to help.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

No. Don't. I don't want to know.

[He sits himself down on the Plane with a thump.]

[Now Dino just feels guilty. He kneels down next to Firo.] You have warning now. Your Family can survive if you figure out some way to change.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

I'm no good at this sort of thing! I take care of my men. The rest is for Maiza and them--I can't do it!

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

You can do it. We never know what our real limits are until we're pushed past what we thought we could possibly do. You'll have to do something if you want your Family, your men, to survive.

[Staaaare.] You're mafia.

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Smile] And unless I'm really off, so are you.
