Capo di Tutti Capi IV [Concluded]
– 2:00pm Eastern – A hotel suite in New York[/B]
“Call Moretti again, Dean.”
“No answer, Jerry. I think he’s gonna be ticked…”
“I know, I know; but how in heck was I supposed to know the Doctor’d say I had mumps this morning. Of all the crazy things. I didn’t even remember our lunch with Willie until just now – you know that. Try him again in another ten.”
“Okay. I called the guy at NBC radio about the rehearsal already so…”
Both men turned to the TV in the suite when they heard the name “Moretti” from the newscaster. They watched, stunned, as the anchor relayed the news: Willie Moretti, reputed crime boss, gunned down at lunch at Joe’s Elbow Room in Cliffside, New Jersey. There was an uncomfortable silence at the end of the news announcement. Martin was the first to speak.
“All in all, Jerry, I’m not too sad you got the mumps….”
4 October 1951 – 8:00pm Eastern – A hotel suite in Cuba
Lansky cradled the phone gently and walked out on the balcony.
“It’s confirmed.”
“Well, I didn’t think the news guys were making it up, but thanks. Crap. Frankie was against it, and I hadn’t made up my mind yet.”
“Anastasia didn’t want to wait. You and your omerta tradition, you know. Willie mouthing off at the hearings didn’t sit very well.”
“I know. I agree even, but I figured his brains were for mush anyway so it wouldn’t matter. Well, I don’t think the Commission will take any action, do you?”
“It’s the way they were leaning anyway…the penalty will be minor.”
Luciano nodded his agreement. He swirled his glass briefly before taking a drink. He looked meaningfully at Lansky.
“Since we’re speaking about Jersey…”
Lansky paused, and then what Luciano was leading up to came to him in a fully realized whole.
“Again? Didn’t we get enough people killed the last time?”
“Bruder, you know the numbers better than me, so you can answer your own question, no?”
Meyer paused in thought, fixing Charlie with a measured stare. There was no real anger in that stare – they had shared too much, achieved too much, together for that – and Luciano was correct about the numbers.
“I get it, Charlie, I really do. Profits in narcotics and Russian furs tripled for the 4 months the Pentangelis ran Fatlington. It’s a squalid little Jersey Shore town with a port large enough for our purposes and if we’re running it – however unofficially – it becomes a cash cow for the whole Eastern Seaboard. But the chaos, Charlie, it’s like the whole place is meschuge. Vegas doesn’t have that kind of margin but at least the people there aren’t maniacs….”
Luciano just looked at his friend, waiting. Meyer was anything but stupid. A brief pause was enough time.
“I see.”
Luciano nodded.
“Well then, paisan, since the Commission has already decided, my role is pretty simple. I’ll get the contacts rolling. So be it. “
4 October 1951 – 8:15pm Eastern – A hotel suite in Fatlington, New Jersey
The cool breeze felt good on his face after the hot, smoke-filled session of poker. This game, though technically illegal, wasn’t likely to get Fatlington’s top cop in trouble – after all the other players included a federal judge, two city councilman and His Honor TosaInu. Commissioner Fermanagh, looking out over the railing of the suite at the Hotel Abbatoir, staring over the dark Atlantic.
A cold chill ran down Fermanagh’s spine, causing him to straighten in surprise as he shivered. He felt himself quivering with…fear? Shaking off the feeling, he muttered to himself:
“Just the wind, you old mick, just the wind – nothing to worry about.”
As he turned back to the game, though, he didn’t – just couldn’t quite – shake the feeling he’d had. A cold October wind was blowing toward Fatlington.

Re: Capo di Tutti Capi IV
From our artist, just to set the mood...and more to follow:
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends
We're so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside
There behind a glass stands a real blade of grass
Be careful as you pass, move along, move along
… Karn Evil 9 (1st Impressions, Part 2)
… Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
1013AM, Monday, 29 October 1951
The Executive Meeting Room (Small Ballroom)
Fatlington Convention Center
Fatlington, New Jersey
“…and so to summarize,” intoned Commissioner Fermanagh, “It’s happening again.”
The hundred-odd Fatlings gathered in the room were restless, but not really incredulous. Fatlington’s recent history with trouble was well known to all present.
“Governor TosaInu may not be a direct part of things anymore, but he still has enough in the way of contacts to have tipped us off. Moreover, he instantly mobilized the Guard to quarantine Fatlington for the immediate future. The only surprise was how quickly Federal authorities supported the effort. We’ve got troops from Fort Dix supporting the Guard and state police and the Coast Guard has cordoned off sea and Inland Waterway access completely.”
Fermanagh paused, looking out over those gathered – Fatlington’s ‘best and brightest.’
“I don’t know what we have done to deserve this mafia attention; why they keep trying to undermine this city. We DO, however, know how to deal with it. We will reconvene all of you as our next Committee of Vigilance and you will use the established procedures to weed out the Mafiosi in our midst.”
Grim nods and an expectant silence were the only comments on Fermanagh’s statement.
“Your first task will be to select a Director for the committee to oversee the…the…executions. Choose carefully. That Director will be protected by four security officers during their tenure. As you recall, they don’t vote for who to execute, but they do the rest of it.”
Fermanagh paused.
“It’ll come as no surprise that I’ve been worried about this for months. To prepare, I have had a number of detectives and protection specialists placed in your midst secretly. The will serve as a valuable means to help the committee further its efforts.”
Another pause.
“So if you haven’t, make sure you familiarize yourself with the Committee procedures, there’s copies on the table here, and get busy selecting your Director….and Holy Mother pray for us all.”
OOC:
All role pms have been dispatched. Traits and sundries will follow later today.
Please remember the moderators requests....heed them.
The first day is relatively short. The only player task is to Select: Your Choice for Director Double check on the rules and procedures and PM with questions.
Timer:

We don't vote for a person on the first day, but we select a director to direct the lynches for the following day and then the next day we select a director and vote for a person there after. So I think you need to go bac and read the rules again Jarema.

Re: Capo di Tutti Capi IV
Select: Major Robert Dump
He is the man with the plan and should be considered for the position. He has extensive history in the Army, rising to the rank of Major and he is a devout Christian. He is the dream American candidate and he should become our director.

Re: Capo di Tutti Capi IV
I will state for the record that I haven't asked anyone to select me as Director.
Spontaneous display of affection? Nah, this can only mean one thing: You're strapping me down to the comfy chair, to poke me with the soft cushions. I smell a detective inquisitor coming my way, armed with fear and surprise and a nice red uniform, to peek under my skirt and determine my alignment.
Do your worst. I'll never confess! NEVER!
Oops was that a confession?

Re: Capo di Tutti Capi IV
Random.org impels me to
Select: God Emperor
Judging solely by the name, I'd say that's a solid choice.

I smell a detective inquisitor coming my way, armed with fear and surprise and a really great bright red uniform, to peek under my skirt and determine my alignment.

But you don't deny using your omnipresent mind control powers to force people to select you as director. Interesting... :inquisitive:
