First meetings

[gitskreig]

*Tetsuo walks into the Ba Da Bing Bar. His first assignment was a success. The job was to quietly eliminate a new boy on the block. After several warnings he had refused to close down his drug-dealing business that was getting in the way of business on Tony's side. The job had gone smoothly. He had used only one bullet and left nothing that could link the killing to him or Tony, no prints, no signs of entry, nothing. As he walks in all eyes turn to the newcomer. He scans the room and spots a group of Tony's men. He singles out one of them and gives a cryptic message. The man leaves for a few minutes as all the other patrons of the bar return to whatever they were doing. Eventually the man returns and jestures that Tetsuo should follow him.*

"He will see you now" the man says leading Tetsuo to a secluded room with a pair of tough looking men at the door

*the man goes to the door and flashes a card. after looking at the card the door is opened.*

"He is in here" the man says

"My thanks" says Tetsuo giving a small bow before going into Tony's room.

[Tony Soprano]

*As he walked into the bar, Tony smiled"

"Oh, if it isnt tha' fuckin' Jap"

*Tony laughed*

"How'd it go?"

[gitskreig]

*Tetsuo gives a short bow. He ignores the insult. From what he has seen so far of New Jersey what he sees as insults are commonplace social speach here. After giving the bow he loosens up*

*It went fine. Your problem has been dealt with and there is no sign that I was there or that you had anything to do with it."

*He pulls out the gun from his inside pocket. As several other guns are pointed at his head he places it on the table in front of him.*

"This is a good gun you gave me. Light, accurate and a perfect feel and size."

*He takes the gun again and puts it back in its pocket. As he does so the guns pointed at him are also lowered. He notices throughout the whole thing that Tony had not broken a sweat*

"Are there any other loose ends that you are having problems with?"

[Tony Soprano]

*Tony looked around. The thing with being a mob boss was that he had to show some authority and had to show the other members that he was the boss. He stood up*

"Lets get this straight. You work for me. When I ask you to work, you'll work. You dont fuckin' defy me!"

*Tony shouted angrily. Although he wouldnt usually get as angry as he was now, he had to show his temper to make sure everyone, including Tetsuo, that he was the boss. He breathed heavily, showing anger in his eyes. *

[gitskreig]

*Tetsuo saw the anger in Tony's eyes but somehow it seemed kind of fake. After a second he realised what was happening. He had undermined his new employer. Tetsuo was used to being almost right hand man when he had been in the Yakuza. He also saw that Tony was not truly as angry as he appeared. He was a mafia boss after-all and had to keep up a commanding appearance. Tetsuo gave Tony a nod showing that he understood that he had to appear to back down from the confrontation*

"Forgive me for my insolence Tony-ue. It shall not happen again."

*Tetsuo saw Tony give a slight nod. The tone of his eyes also changed to a calmer more friendly tone. His other body language still showed assertive confidence but it lost most of the anger.*

[Tony Soprano]

"Glad we understand eachother"

*Tony said, slightly calmer*

[gitskreig]

*Tetsuo gave a bow and started to head to the door*

"If you require me I shall be in the main bar"

[Tony Soprano]

*Tony nodded. The door shut*

"Fuckin' japs, think they're superiour"

*A goon stepped forward*

"Yeah, fuckin' think they own the place"

[christopher]

*Christopher sat at the edge of the bar, drinking a whiskey*

[gitskreig]

*Tetsuo weaved his way to the bar and took a seat next to a man drinking a whisky.*

"Sake" he says to the barman

"what?" the barman asks

"Sake" he says again, followed by "rice-wine" after he gets not answer

"Oh" the barman replies, "sorry but we don't have any"

"Ok a whisky then"

*The barman gets him a whisky.*

[christopher]

"What? Those bastards gotta' have rice with everything?"

*Christopher muttered*

[gitskreig]

"Rice is our local produce, so yes we have found many uses for it, do you have a problem with that?" Tetsuo said to Christopher in an annoyed tone

[christopher]

"Well that was my fuckin' point, ya fuckin' cunt"

[gitskreig]

"I feel I must warn you of foolish words. They often come with a costly price"

[christopher]

"Yeah, ya know, your mother was fuckin' costly last night...slightly more expensive than usual"
