hmm OK Grat straightened me out in chat so I'm recalling my vote for Arnor for the time being. Now I'm not sure who to vote for atm.

for the time being, i'm voting jets.

I vote maarten

Jets has my vote

Jets it is then, although I suspect Arnor too.

"I think I'm voting Arnor.. I don't see where the doc saved him in that story."

That's hardly my fault.. All I know is that that mob wanted me dead

I have to hurry, so I'm voting Jets for the time being (bandwagon!). I'll log on after class and see what the situation is like then...

i vote gladiator

Meanwhile.........................

Little timmy counted the 5 gc he had in his pocket and smiled as he walked into "Arsbury's Candy Shop" The shop owner arsy wore a white hat and white apron. He stood behind the counter and beamed at the little boy.

"Timmy you're back I see? Will it be the usual? One pound of butterscotch?"

Timmy laughed revealing a smile with one front tooth missing.

"No no not today Mr. Arsbury. I think...I think.. I wanna try Licowice today."

"Ah, today you want licorice?" Arsy said as he grabbed a paper bag and a scoop.

"Yes sir! Chewwy!"

"Cherry Licorice on it's way! I'll even give you a bag for your sister."

"Oh boyyyyy, you're the bestest Mr. Arsbury!"

Timmy handed arsy the 5gc and turned to run out of the store. He bumped into 3 men wearing dark suits, dark shades and trench coats.

"Ooooh, sowwy mister."

A man dressed in a white suit, a white hat and sporting a dark trench coat came in behind the three men and looked at timmy. He smiled and rubbed timmy's head. "Go on ya little tike. Go play or something."

"Yes sir!"

The boy ran out of the store and the the men closed the door and turned the "We're Open" sign around so that it read "Closed Today". They then shut the blinds so that very little light was in the room.

"Arsy, arsy, you should really consider my offer again." Said the man dressed in white. "I've tried to be generous. I give you a fair protection rate and you refuse. I feel...I feel insulted. Have I done anything to disrespect you?"

"No...." arsy replied looking both angry and afraid. He began to massage his palms as sweat crept down the back of his neck.

"Then why do you turn me down? I offer you my security for a mere 20% of your monthly income and you instead refuse. I feel like trash when you do these things."

"Look! I'm just a small time candy shop owner. I don't make much money and what I have goes into my basic needs. My father left me this buisness like his father before him and I'll be damned if I let some crooks like you muscle my buisness!"

Arsy was shaking with fury and the man in white nodded while looking around the store.

"Fair enough. Well we won't bother youz anymore. We'll be on our way."

He turned to walk away but stopped and turned around.

"Arsy, do you mind if I have a bag of candy? I have a slight craving for Chocolate Mints. Perhaps you have some no?"

"I suppose so."

Arsy grabbed a bag and scooped up some chocolat mints. He placed the bag on a scale and was satisfied.

"10 gc please."

The man in the white took out a bill and extended his hand. When arsy went to grab it the man took arsy's head and slapped it into the counter furiously, over and over and over again. Arsy's nose and face was covered in blood. The man released arsy and examined his own clothing.

"Son of a.... this bastard got my suit dirty." He took out a pistol and grabbed arsy's hair. Arsy looked delirious as he brought his eyes to meet the mobster's. With hate and anger in his eyes, the mobster stuck the gun into arsy's mouth and fired. Blood splattered the wall behind arsy and the mobster turned to walk away.

"Grab my candy boys."
