Marcello makes it a point to reload his pistol on the table in front of him. He doesn't look up, but responds to Edwards

As well as he should, he says, as he chambers the first round

OOC: I will reply to that w/in a day or two. Please don't take my silence as guilt this time -__-. I just started a new job and it's taking me a while to get used to it.

OCC: Please don't die...

(OOC: I'm sure as hell not letting it die...someone needs to accuse someone is what we need)

OOC: I've already done my part. Anyone else want to pitch in?

OOC: Theres 2 accusations right now, rag accused kits and I accused mike.

(OOC: Point of the matter: If no one says anything, RP = dead)

Maria looks at Edwards incredulously and stands up to defend herself.

Why SHOULDN'T I look to my uncle for guidance? I've always been close with the family, and I've been closest to him! You are calling my reliance on the Family suspicious? Her tone of voice is filled with derision Maybe if everyone IN this room was a little closer to the Family we wouldn't be IN this situation. Attitudes like yours, cousin [if he isn't her cousin insert the proper family relation there kthx], are why we're sitting here looking for a traitor.

Maria sits back down, still looking over at Edwards indignantly.

OOC: Sorry that took so long... My new job, while GREAT, is very tiring with the hour drive there and the 2 hour drive through atlanta traffic home in the morning. And the 8 hours of night shift of course.

OOC: I just realized that I went through all that and never accused anyone. Tentatively accusing Edwards for suspicious questioning. Well she didn't really finger him so I guess it's still not voting for anyone yet, but she's looking over at him suspiciously. So no vote, but pretty damned close.

*prods everyone with pointy sticks of pointyness which he aquired from Kitsune.*

What? They were on sale!

"Didn't say having strong family ties wasn't important, but you've had a very independent streak in you, tending to rely on yourself more than others. I was wondering why you asked your uncle for help before putting up even a semblence of an arguement first. Family is very important, but so is self-reliance as you yourself have demonstated many times in the past."

(I'm thinking the Mafia deal needs a small break....due to lack of responses I'm thinking it's getting stale)

OOC: The problem is getting it started. We all start clueless, and don't want to take risks. Once the first death occurs, things start moving along because we have information to base things off of.

well unless you folks want this to die, suck it up and take a risk. I'm giving it a week to get all the votes in, then it's graveyarded. Sorry to be so blunt, but everyone's just 'waiting'.

ooc: Ender and I were talking about graveyarding this thread. However, I am prepared to to take drastic steps with my character for the good of the game, if anyone thinks it would help. Ender wanted me to post this in OOC to gage a response before posting.. If this thread doesnt show increased activity by lets say Sunday night, I am going to get back with Ender and Graveyard this thread..
So, if you want this to stay alive, go yell at the people who havent responded since this started.. We need a full reaction here. The thread can't survive if only the few people who have been posting continue to post..

*L0x0r3d.. I will move this to the graveyard later today..
