>>>>>[A little late to had to the "making an impression" discussion but I'll add something anyway. Smiley always said to me that my best weapon is my reputation to get what or where I want. A weapon that needs to be sharpen and soaked in blood, tons of it, to be effective. I've discovered, as Smiley taught me, imagery is what makes an impression. If my name or the image I'm projecting is not enough to scare off people, a real display of abilities is what does the trick. The more brutal, the more violent, the more disturbing... The better. Just last week back, I had to see someone hiding in an old housing project. I walk the front door and these four guys try to stop me. I blew out of my hand one of my special powder mix in the face of the three guys on my left. When they started bleeding through the eyes, nose and ears than started vomiting their liquifying organs in front of me... I made my point and the fourth one got out of the way as fast as he could. Smiley seems to favor a similarly bloody method. He is fond of ripping one's throat with his bare hand and throwing the larynx on the other side of the room. And he's doing it so fast that he doesn't get a single drop of blood on his fingers. I've seen the effectiveness and so as Mister Wolfgar and Mister Card. As effective as ork axe skull splitting.
Oh, Mister Card... thinking of me hm? Think about this one... If I offer you a drink, will you drink it?
And now the real reason why I'm posting here. Smiley left me a note saying "Gone on vacation! Somewhere hot and humid, back in a few!". I thought it was one of his lame dirty jokes or something... But no! Here he post about going in hell itself, armed to the teeth with a bunch of mercs. Does anyone has any idea what the hell he's doing there? For him to go there, it must involves a lot of money and can't augur anything good.]<<<<<
