A new start...

[Tony Soprano]

*Tony pulled up to the water tower. He smiled, seeing the man. He got out to greet him*

[gitskreig]

*seeing Tony approach he walks up to the confident looking man and greets him with a bow*

Konichi wa, Tony-senpai. My thanks go to you for agreeing to offer work for a dishonoured man such as me. I would be honoured if you would accept me as your employee.

*gives another bow in order to show respect for his new leader*

[Tony Soprano]

*Tony nodded and smiled slightly.*

"You got a piece?"

[gitskreig]

"Regretably no. As you know I had to leave Japan quickly. The mission I failed was a close quarters assasination so I have no gun. However I do have this."

*pulls out an ornamental looking sword sheith. With great skill he puts it away while drawing a finely forged katana. At the base of the blade there are a number of Kanji symbols, if translated they would read "I belong to he who is one with shadows". He re-sheiths the blade then holds it longways in both hands then goes down onto one knee. He holds the sword out to Tony and bows his head.*

"I offer my services and my life to you if you deem them worthy"

[Tony Soprano]

*Tony examined the sword.*

"Fuckin' cool"

*Tony laughed and handed it back to him. He reached into his jacket pocket and threw a pistol at him*

"Keep it on ya at all times."

*Tony threw him an envelope*

"Your first assignment...If you need me, stop by the Ba Da Bing...And this little conversation..."

*Tony said, lighting a cigar and putting it in his mouth*

"...It never happened..."

*Tony said, getting into his car*

[gitskreig]

*He watches Tony's car as it drives off into the night*

"I believe I am going to enjoy it here"

*He places the pistol in his left inside pocket, and places his sword on the right. He opens the envelope and reads it's contents. He commits them to memory and walks away, disappearing into the shadows that line every street.*
