Sure, there are slick suits and Tommy guns, but the Mafia is about getting a certain level of respect and power. You might have to get your hands dirty sometimes, but you are near untouchable... as long as you don't get on the wrong side of someone higher up than you, that is.

- Post your character's name and series in the subject. Include your chosen role from the list below and any preferences you might have.
- Others choose their own role and respond.
- Set up a scene and have fun!

The Family
1. Boss - The boss is the head of the family, sometimes called Don or Godfather. The  entire family answers to you and you take a cut of every operation taken on by the family. Even though your position has the highest respect, it comes with its fair share of responsibilities and danger. You better watch your back and learn to deal with the stress.
2. Underboss - the underboss is usually appointed by the boss and is second in-command. They deal with the day-to-day responsibilties of the family. They are also the successor in case anything happens to the Don.
3. Consigliere - The consigliere is an advisor. The Boss's right-hand man. Mediator of disputes, representaitves, etc. They are the third ranking member. The Don appoints someone they trust deeply.
4. Capo -  Capo, or captain, is in charge of a crew of soldiers who report directly to them. Each crew contains a number of soldiers and associates. The capo is appointed by the Don and reports to either him or the underboss. He is responsible for any assigned tasks, including murder.
5. Soldier - A soldier is a member of the family. He is a made man and cannot be touched without permission from a soldier's boss. They are the workers and usually handle committing crimes from assault, murder, intimidation, etc.
6. Associate -  An associate is not a member of the Family officiall, but they do work with them. Their duties can run from carrying out similar tasks to a soldier to being nothing more than an errand boy. They can be lawyers or dirty cop, doctors, or anything else that might be useful to the family. They can be made official if recommended by a made man already in the family.
7. Rat - You're lower than dirt by Mafia standards. You've the code of silence, Omerta, and told on your family. If you aren't put in witness protection, you are an extremely likely target. Good luck watching your back and you better hope that deal you made was worth it!

Outsider
1. Lover - Either a spouse or a kept lover on the side. You are to be treated with respect and as long as you keep your mouth shut, you probably won't want for anything if you're involved with a higher up in the Family.
2. Cop - You finally got the dirt you wanted or maybe you're just watching certain members really close. Maybe you just want a nice little pay off to keep your mouth shut too.
3. Family - Family by blood. Father, mother, sister, brother, child, etc. You might be kept in the dark about the business or just turn a blind eye to it. Maybe you want to finally confront your family about their activities and get an honest answer out of them. Maybe you're offering a hide out or to stash goods, even if it's reluctantly.
4. Indebted - You made a deal with the mob and you are now indebted. Either you pay back your debt or you're in deep trouble. You might intimidated, roughed up, or murdered. They might be threatening your business or possibly even your loved ones.
5. Avenger - You knew someone who got in trouble with the mob or was wronged in some way by them and you're out for revenge now. It might be downright suicidal, but you're not going to be deterred.
6. Targeted - You either know something you shouldn't or did something else to get on the Family's bad side. Now you're being targeted for assassination. Maybe they've already found you or maybe you're getting as much stuff together and hitting the road as soon as you can.
7. Other -  Maybe something was forgotten off the list. If you can think of something else you want to do or be, this is the option for you.

The Aphrodisiac'd, Completely Random Blind Date Meme


All of you are always so busy, running around with your world saving and/or world conquering. It's time to take a break, isn't it? And there's no better place than a five-star restaurant.

You don't want to go to a five star restaurant, you say? TOO BAD.

The first thing guests will notice upon walking in are the mouth-watering smells drifting from the kitchen; if you weren't hungry before, you will be now. The next thing you will notice is that your outfit has been changed to fit the setting, something dapper and stylish, a nice dress perhaps, or maybe a pressed shirt and pair of slacks. This is one restaurant serious about its dress code!

The decor of the establishment itself has been tastefully done. The lighting has been lowered just enough to create a cozy atmosphere and a candle burns on every table. Music plays in the background, soothing, forgettable instrumentals soft enough not to distract from conversation. Overall the setting is classy, but not pretentious, and very comfortable.

Business is in full swing, but your wait is brief and the maître d’ appears quickly to escort you to your table, a nicely private u-shaped booth. As you look over the chef's carefully selected menu, it seems you will be in store for a very pleasant dining experience indeed.

Of course, you won't be having it alone for long. Soon after your beverage has been ordered, the maître d’ reappears with another guest and an apologetic explanation that all the tables are full and they promised everyone a meal tonight, so won't you please share your booth? He then cheerfully bids you both a pleasant evening and leaves before either of you have time to object.

Surprise! The restaurant is actually setting patrons up on blind dates! You could both leave, but that would be very rude, wouldn't it? And it's such a nice place, maybe love is on the menu, after all...

[OOC: Your regular blind date type scenario, though this meme has a bit of magic pull to make characters stay when they usually wouldn't, and an aphrodisiac to move the date in a more... amorous direction.

The point of this meme/open post is to tag around (the perfect opportunity for some crazy cross-overs!), hence it's completely random pairing aspect and the "blind date" part. Still, set your posts up as usual:

- Character Name | Canon | Prefs

And see what happens! You may want to "set the scene" so people will have something to reply to, but that's certainly not required!]

The Great Escape (from the_love_hotel )

Most people try to escape from the Hotel once in a while, but few succeed. The original poster is assumed to be the person leading the escape attempt from the hotel. Roll (or select) who the other person is and how far the escape attempt gets.

Using random.org roll (or pick - we aren't fussy) a number from 1-6 to establish a relationship, a number from 1-3 to establish how far you got (or have got so far) and a number from 1-6 to find out the nature of the scene.

Relationship:
1: You planned this escape together from the start
2: You recruited the last person at the last minute
3: You met trying to escape the same way
4: The other person was an innocent bystander who you either brought along or could use as a distraction
5: The other person is going about their business when you run into them.
6: Guard. Whether the guard knows they are a guard or not, their job is to prevent you escaping.

Most escape attempts from the Hotel are doomed to fail (and we don't normally hear about the ones that succeed. Roll (or pick) how far you get and then what happens.

Distance
1: Distracted
2: Blocked
3: Escaped

Scenes

Distracted.
The first defence the Hotel has to prevent people escaping is that people don't stay focussed. These scenes are mostly fluffy.

(Fake cut to distracted scenes)


Blocked.

There may be no way out of the hotel or there may be a way out of the Hotel. Either way the Hotel doesn't want you to find it and you're going to be punished for trying. These scenes are mostly hard/dark.

(Fake cut to blocked scenes)

Escaped...?

You actually did it. You're out of the Hotel. Or at least so you think. It might, of course, be a game of the Hotel's. These scenes are mostly crack. Or horror. And many of them are CR rather than smut heavy.

(Fake cut to actual escapes)

This might be your typical sex meme in some ways, but it has a twist! The thread starter chooses their favored scenario (or multiples!) and writes a set up in their comment so others can jump right in if they like the direction you want to go. Blank comments are not allowed and they will be deleted! Please don't forget to state your preferences and respect others!

Note: If someone is uncomfortable and tells you to back off, please do so. If you are uncomfortable, please tell the other mun. If all else fails, just stop tagging.
