La Matriarca

         ( well hello there, would you take a look at that I am still alive. Sorry for the horrible absence and silence, this last [almost --wait what.] year has been so busy for me and at one point I got too caught up in between classes, hospital practice, thesis [#greatthesismealtdown2k15]. Pretty much, my life has been so active all I’ve wanted to do in my spare time is sleep. I still have a couple months to go, but after that and once life has quieted down, it’s very probable I’ll be back because I miss roleplaying and Libi so much. 

♚: A time when you showed mercy

         "Well I most certainly don't look like the type who show mercy, do I? No wonder you sound so interested.

 Surprisingly enough, mercy is not beyond me. It has happened before and it will happen again; an unnecessary death is a waste when the person can still serve to a different endeavor. But the question is not about politics, is it? What do you wish to know, the time when I didn't turn to shreds the soul who was spread nasty lies about me, so instead I just made sure she only had a nasty bowel accident in one of our board meetings? She has surprisingly predictable habits, slipping something in her coffee wasn't that hard. But ah! That won't sound like mercy to you, I know it.

          So let me gift you with some sincerity  --the was a time, when I spared a man's life. Even helped him take retaliation on the client who had ordered his demise. He was old and tired and one of the smartest men I've known. By the time he took me home and I asked for a drink and maybe a bite, he just sat down and told me to get along with it. 'Why else would such a pretty young woman show such interest in me?' he told me, 'you are rich enough that's not my money you're after'.

♔: First kill

----already answered!

♞: Define a good kill

“Pretty easy ——it entails a job well done, one in which both me and the client gain what we want. He or she get rid of that one person whom, by one mean or the other has done them wrong. I keep my bank account growing and store yet another titbit of information that might come in handy, sooner or later. It also includes little meddling from the always charming police.

It can also, however, respond to the Omerta being followed. A kill for honor and retribution will always be considered a good and righteous kill.

It has nothing to do with how much they bleed or scream or toss and turn. It’s about how well the job is made and how much you gain by it.”

♔: First kill

“Now, now! I wouldn’t be doing my job if I just went around telling who I’ve killed. All I will say is that he or she where rather…imposing. It wasn’t easy, but I learned and I liked it. I was never the type to sit down and just wait until power was passed down; the same is achieved by actions and not diction. I was eighteen, fiery and incredibly determined. I have made rather questionable choices in the past, but my first kill? Isn’t one of them.”

♛: A time when mercy was requested but not provided

“Ah, that’s a hard one. When one uses means as mine they don’t really have a time to ask for mercy. I do not force the poison upon their mouth, the ingestion of it comes from their own hand. By the time they realize there was something wrong (and if I am still in the room) they tend to call me names and or urge me to call an ambulance, the police, anyone.

There have been a couple occasion, though, when it comes to matters of the famiglia. A man once begged me to give him a second chance, to rethink what I was doing. Swore he had learned his lesson —but to what use? He had already caused enough damage. I have very strict rules, and things such as selling drugs without my permission and in off-limit areas could not be condoned. A matriarca needs to set the example; had I let him go, I would had showed the others they could do what they wanted, and then cry a few tears to get themselves (as they say) off the hook.”
