It all began with an itch to kill Graham.

Ladd Russo was fucking nuts but even he knew something was wrong. He liked Graham. He wouldn’t kill Graham because he expected death. The boy was brazen and impudent and couldn’t shut up.

He stormed out the apartment. He was surprised by his self-control, but Ladd Russo killed by a rule and guidelines. It wasn’t fun, otherwise.

It wasn’t fun!

As he walked on the streets, the urge increased. He started to shiver among the crowd, imagining those passerby’s brains decorating the pavement, his lips cracked a maddened sneer. He still argued against this. He wasn’t so stupid: it was a public place, cops were going to get him.

Hey. Hey. Hey.

His uncle raised a smarter Hitman for the Russo family.

As the night fell around him, Ladd descended the staircase of the subway; the underworld would be stained with blood soon like the white fabric of his suit. He whistled as he skipped into the open doors of the train. Once he stepped inside, pulled out a revolver from his coat and fired twice without further thoughts.

It wasn’t about fun, it was about need. He couldn’t control himself.

Two bodies dropped on the ground. A neat thud before hysteria reigned in the metallic car. Hey. Hey. Hey. Heeeey. Subway panic, get it? The first crimson spots appeared on his pristine clothes. The furthest thing that was in his possessed thoughts was the knowledge they were afraid to die and thus killing them wouldn’t be entertaining.

No, no, no, no!

Ladd Russo was beyond to argue his usual standards. And talking and he loved to talk while he killed. Something was wrong, wrong, wrong!

He laughed and leaped on one of the seats, euphoric by his berserker daze while he aimed to another target. His wild grin widened as he squeezed the trigger.

[ooc; Eru, bb, fear not the action tag will be shorter, long narrative is long because is needed for me to get "demonicpossessed!Ladd" :D]

[ It was a nice day, Ladd liked that day and the food, and he rather liked the spaghetti seasoned with tomato sauce and full with meatballs. Yeheheeyheeh. Not a single spot ruined his immaculate white suit. The red stains Ladd wanted to show to his uncle and his darling Lua weren’t of his food.

He finished his meal quickly, rolling up his sleeve. Time was up. His friends must be in their positions. They were all wise guys, all like he was. He had promised them their fun before they went straight to business.

The Gandors were here, thinking themselves above danger, eh? Nobody could harm the big Mafioso lords, eh? He toasted to that. ]

Something dangerous's gonna happen… Something dangerous's gonna happen!

[ He repeated giddy under his breath. Fuck the drawing straws and the waiting! ]

Hey, Hey Heeeeeey~~!!

[ Ladd rose from his chair, withdrawing a shotgun from his coat and signaling to his boys to do the same. He shot forward, not aiming to anybody in particular. Just that it was wasteful to fire at the roof as warning. The screams and hysteria shortly followed by most of the crowd.

His grin grew and he shot again.]

Yo! Everybody quiet! Drop yer weapons and down the floor! Now I got yer attention. This voyage’s goin’ to continue with us in charge. Ain’t so, boys?

[ He leaped on the bar, so he could stare down the passengers and began a headcount with his armed hand. In the middle of it, he turned to his buddies. ]

Oi, how many should be alive fer the rescue?

((OOC: ~~LIZ TOLD ME TO POST IT AT THIS HOUR. PRETEND THIS HAPPENED DURING LUNCH, OK?~~ Plot details here if somebody wants to join. Mafioso slang if someone cares. Everyone feel free to mingle within what will happen, all Russo men would wear white, all Luck’s are wearing black, third parties are also welcome to contain or feed into the chaos.

Hey, hey heeeeeey~~

Quack, quack quuuuuuuu~aaaa~aack~~. Listenin'? I'm yer soul, punk. That's why I can talk.

Ya are a parrot, naggy Polly. Ya CAN talk. So who train ya, eh? Eh? EH??! I wanna ask 'em if they felt safe, thinkin' in givin' me a present like this.

[More gunshots]

Hey, hey heeeeeey~~!! GIMMIE ME MY--

'Ere, birdie, birdiee~ee... Ladd has a cracker. Does Polly want a cracker? Ladd wants his toy back.

This isn't funny, Gandor. A closed bar is an useless bar. Did everyone took a holiday today and I wasn't told about? I would have spent today doing the laundry. My clothes are all dirty; I can't wear them.

Where did everybody go?

((OOC: He's actually TYPING down this. Ladd's Mirror self is still a Mafia Hitman who enjoys killing but for money instead of the lulz, he's mature and hates getting blood on his suit. Like his uncle, only young and more calm. He doesn't repeat things thrice-four times either. D:)).

Are ya feeling safe in your big, luxurious and unsinkable boat? Because I sure find it very interesting!

((OOC: Cursed or not, Ladd's still a nutbar: That Sunday at 1:45 PM, a message from the steamer Amerika warned that large icebergs lay in the Titanic's path, but inexplicably, the warning was never relayed to the bridge. Later that evening, another report of numerous, large icebergs, this time from the Mesaba, also failed to reach the bridge. D:)).

[pang of pain followed by more giggles]

Hey, hey... Gandor kid!!

Guess what I have for ya and yer business? A silent, skilled waitress beauty to serve the tables. She just needs some stiches and she'll be as good as new.

Ehh…? What?

[The image of a confused blond man appears, he’s wearing a white suit, face and clothes splattered with red stains, and holding a dagger in a hand and a dead man in the other. His bushy eyebrows creased and his mouth opens, gawking at the surroundings.

He’s in Subway Panic, in the evening ride before midnight.]

Awww… Shiiiit… This wasn’t supposed to happen, right?

[He takes the corpse’s jaw and opens it, adding in a mocking, high pitched voice]

“No, no. It wasn’t supposed to happen, Ladd.”

[He grins widely and leans to give him a pat]

So, so, soooo strange. Immortals story and now this. You black-suits have managed to piss me off, y’ know? My lovely Chane shouldn’t be kept waiting--

[His eyes flashes and hurls the dead man behind him like a rag doll, turning to see a younger looking man with a sword tattooed on his face, holding a machine gun.]

Hey, hey, hey, heeeeeeey~ [Licks his knife, flexing his knees like a prey animal.] Interesting…

Interesting.

INTERESTIIIIIIING! Were you eager to meet me again so soon, Ja~~cuzzi~?
