The Collin Family - The Legend of 2011

[Bogomil]

Applications are OPEN. Feel free to apply for the family.

[StevenCollin]

The Collin Family is looking forward to coming out of the ashes and bringing itself back to what it once was. You can be directly chosen to be one of us if you manage to pass an IG interview. Requirements? Be able to speak English at a decent level, be able to RP, and most importantly, be motivated even if you don't reap any financial rewards. You can RP in the business fronts (with workers such as drivers, mechanics, waiters, chefs and much more) of the group, or can just contribute in your own unique way, as long as you make sure to interact with others? Want to be a crazy priest living in an abandoned shack in the desert? Then so be it. Anything is acceptable, as long as it is within LEGAL BOUNDARIES. We strive to promote diversity and to make people understand that being legal is not only about being a blue dot on the minimap. We're waiting for you! Just leave a reply here if you're interested, and an IG interview shall be conducted.

The Collin Family's pawn shop at Ocean Docks was very active today. At your attention, we present you one of the deals we had today:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Aiden_Corleone says Hey there, you the guy with the advertisements - right?

 Bogomil_Collin says Yes.

 Bogomil_Collin says They are very special.

 Bogomil_Collin takes one of the bottles.

 Aiden_Corleone raises an eye brow, eager to hear more about it.

 Bogomil_Collin says Extremely rare, produced in 1960 .

 Bogomil_Collin says High quality aged wine.

 Aiden_Corleone stares at the current bottle Bogomil holds.

 Aiden_Corleone says I see.

 the bottle would be completely black with red text on it (Bogomil_Collin)

 saying  "1960"(Bogomil_Collin)

 What would be written? (Aiden_Corleone)

 Ok. (Aiden_Corleone)

 Aiden_Corleone reads the text slowly s-..

 Bogomil_Collin says The finest wine you can find on the market.

 Aiden_Corleone says Hey, mate.

 Aiden_Corleone says How much is this for?

 Bogomil_Collin says Fifty thousand.

 Aiden_Corleone steps back as he hears the high price.

 Aiden_Corleone says Fifty huh.

 Aiden_Corleone opens the mobile banking application on their phone.

 Bogomil_Collin says It's a fifty years old wine.

 Bogomil_Collin says You can't find it anywhere.

 Aiden_Corleone says Hm.

 Aiden_Corleone says Thats true.

 Aiden_Corleone says What else you got? And uugh.

 Aiden_Corleone says Can you put this in a bag or something?

 Aiden_Corleone says I do want to buy it.

 Bogomil_Collin says It's in a box.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Bogomil_Collin reaches for the black  paper box.

 there would be a text "Bordeux, France " (Bogomil_Collin)

 Bogomil_Collin puts the bottle in the box.

 Aiden_Corleone says What else do you have?

 Bogomil_Collin says Well...*looks around*...

 Bogomil_Collin says Almost everything.

 Bogomil_Collin says Anything specific you're interested in?

 Aiden_Corleone says Ugh didnt actually had anything in mind when I came here.

 Bogomil_Collin says We got poker tables from the 80's WSOP tournaments.

 Bogomil_Collin says Real poker stars played on them.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh, something small that I could carry.

 Bogomil_Collin says Hmmm...

 Aiden_Corleone says Well, I'm looking for something special.

 Aiden_Corleone says And its this man's property *points his hand at Bogomil*.

 Bogomil_Collin says There is a painting in the other room.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh, show me.

 Bogomil_Collin says Perhaps you might be interested.

 Bogomil_Collin says After me.

 Aiden_Corleone says Aight.

 Aiden_Corleone says I have to tell you, I do love paintings.

 you would be able to see a painting of LS (Bogomil_Collin)

 big one (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone fixes his eyes at the painting.

 Aiden_Corleone says Who painted that?

 Would there be any other paintings that I might be able to find in this room? (Aiden_Corleone)

 Bogomil_Collin says This one is the one and only painting of Lustigkurre Donovan.

 Bogomil_Collin says Modern cubism.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh.

 nope (Bogomil_Collin)

 only this one (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says And how much for it?

 Would the paint be my carrying size? (Aiden_Corleone)

 Aiden_Corleone says Thirty grands huh.

 Aiden_Corleone says Well, I will take the painting aswell.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Aiden_Corleone says Who painted it again?

 Bogomil_Collin says In order to keep the paper fresh as it was  years ago when it was painted, I can offer you special delivery.

 Bogomil_Collin says To your home.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh.

 Bogomil_Collin says Lustigkurre Donovan.

 Aiden_Corleone says You didnt mention that before, but oh well.

 Aiden_Corleone says Would it be an instant delivery service or something, and how much do I have to pay for it?

 Aiden_Corleone scratches his cheek, waiting for an answer.

 Bogomil_Collin says You will not be charged, since your purchases are worth over $50,000.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh, I see.

 Aiden_Corleone says Alright, so the painting and the bottle.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Aiden_Corleone says So ugh, should we proceed to the payment?

 Aiden_Corleone opens the mobile banking application on their phone.

 Aiden_Corleone opens the mobile banking application on their phone.

 Courtesy Bank Alert Funds on account  have been updated.

 Aiden_Corleone puts away his phone.

 Bogomil_Collin says I guess transaction is ready.

 Aiden_Corleone says Aight, that might be the message.

 Aiden_Corleone nods twice.

 Aiden_Corleone says So uhm.

 Aiden_Corleone says My adress is ugh.

 Bogomil_Collin says Would you provide me with your adress.

 Aiden_Corleone says Ugh-..

 Aiden_Corleone says Corleone Mansion, Verdant Bluffs.

 Aiden_Corleone smiles as he walks past Bogomil towards the door.

 Bogomil_Collin says Expect it in three hours.

 Aiden_Corleone looks around for his paper box.

 Bogomil_Collin says Here.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh.

 Bogomil_Collin gave  high quality aged wine to Aiden_Corleone.

 Aiden_Corleone gently takes the box, holds it with both of his arms.

 Aiden_Corleone says So, the painting would be delivered. Yes?

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Bogomil_Collin says Yes.

 Aiden_Corleone says Alright. Thank you very much.

 Aiden_Corleone says You got quite alot of interesting stuff here.

 Bogomil_Collin says We need to do some preparations for the delivery.

 Aiden_Corleone nods twice.

 Aiden_Corleone says I hope great sucess for your business, friend.

 Bogomil_Collin says Thank you.

 Aiden_Corleone exchanges his box to his left hand, offers Bogomil a handshake with the other.

 Bogomil_Collin looks at the guy holding the 50,000$, box with one hand with a surprise and shakes his hand.

 Animation applied.

 Wait, the box aint that big right? (Aiden_Corleone)

 it's not, but still (Bogomil_Collin)

 I mean.. not even holding size for one hand? (Aiden_Corleone)

 usually when you have something expensive you hold it with two hands (Bogomil_Collin)

 that's why i said it (Bogomil_Collin)

 rip logic then.. sorry (Aiden_Corleone)

 I would be a very careless person. (Aiden_Corleone)

 not a big deal D (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Aight, I be on my way.

 Aiden_Corleone says I will* ))

 Bogomil_Collin says Thank you for shopping from Ocean Docks Pawn SHop.

 Aiden_Corleone nods.

 Bogomil_Collin says Goodbye, sir.

 Aiden_Corleone says Okay, so how am I gonna-... uh.

 Bogomil_Collin says The delivery will be there in three hours.

 Aiden_Corleone nods at Bogomil as he sturgles through figuring out how he will ride back home.

 Is the size of the box small enough to fit beneath a bike seat? (Aiden_Corleone)

 hmm it's like 50 cm tall and 10 cm wide (Bogomil_Collin)

 wont work in that case (Aiden_Corleone)

 perhaps I should hold it tightly with one hand and steer with the other. (Aiden_Corleone)

 Bogomil_Collin looks at Aiden struggling to find a way to get on the bike.

 Bogomil_Collin says All good?

 Bogomil_Collin says Will you manage to hold it there?

 Aiden_Corleone holds on to the box with his left hand.

 Aiden_Corleone says Yeah, I believe so.

 Aiden_Corleone searches around for his keys.

 Bogomil_Collin says If you don't want to risk, I can deliver it with the painting.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh great.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh.

 Aiden_Corleone says Alright, that could be very helpful.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Aiden_Corleone says The thing is, this bike goes really fast.

 Aiden_Corleone hands back the box to Bogomil.

 Bogomil_Collin takes the box.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Aiden_Corleone smiles as he turns back towards his bike.

 Bogomil_Collin says See you in three hours.

 Aiden_Corleone takes out his keys, inserts it into the ignition.

 Aiden_Corleone says Aight mate.

 Aiden_Corleone turns the engine of their NRG- on.


3 hours later


 Bogomil_Collin opens the boot of the Boxville.

 Bogomil_Collin steps off the truck.

 Aiden_Corleone glances at Bogomil.

 there would be a second person helping Bogomil. (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Right, the goodies.

 Bogomil_Collin shouts Quickly!!

 Bogomil_Collin says Hello, sir.

 Bogomil_Collin says The painting and the wine is here.

 Aiden_Corleone says Ugh, right.

 Bogomil_Collin says Would you like to take the wine first?

 Aiden_Corleone says Yeah-.. *chuckles*.

 Aiden_Corleone says Wait, you know what will be good?

 Bogomil_Collin takes the black wine box and hands it to Aiden.

 Animation applied.

 Animation applied.

 Aiden_Corleone takes it, gently holding it.

 Bogomil_Collin says Yes?

 Aiden_Corleone says The painting, could you kindly deliver it straight at my door steps?

 Aiden_Corleone says We currently have no worker, so.

 Bogomil_Collin says Of course we were going to do that.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh, thats good to hear.

 Aiden_Corleone says I will lead you the way.

 there would be a big glass container in the trunk (Bogomil_Collin)

 in the middle of that container is the painting. (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone lends some room space for Bogomil and his worker.

 Bogomil_Collin says But before we take it.

 Bogomil_Collin says Could you come for a moment?

 would* (Bogomil_Collin)

 Bogomil_Collin says I want to show you something important.

 wtf.. dont mind that (Aiden_Corleone)

 coming? D (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Mhm.

 Bogomil_Collin says Take a look inside.

 Aiden_Corleone stares at the glass container.

 Would the painting be there? (Aiden_Corleone)

 Bogomil_Collin says Inside this glass container there is no air.

 yes (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh right, that way it doesnt damage the painting.

 Aiden_Corleone says You sir, need to start taking service charges aswell.

 there would be two small buttons on the bottom of the container. (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Because this is excellent.

 Bogomil_Collin says See these buttons?

 Aiden_Corleone nods.

 Bogomil_Collin says If you want to place the painting on a wall, you press the blue one.

 Aiden_Corleone says Uh-.. and the other one?

 Bogomil_Collin says It will make the glass container smaller without allowing any oxygen to get inside and ruin the drawing.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh my.

 Bogomil_Collin says The other one is if you want to open the container.

 Aiden_Corleone nods as he holds his expensive bottle of wine with both of his hands.

 Bogomil_Collin says I highly recommend you to not press it under any circumstances.

 Aiden_Corleone says Got it.

 Bogomil_Collin says Any contact with air will make the painting go bad.

 Aiden_Corleone says I see.

 Bogomil_Collin signals his helper to help him.

 Bogomil_Collin lifts the glass container and follows Aiden.

 Animation applied.

 Aiden_Corleone watches the duo at work.

 Animation applied.

 Aiden_Corleone says Aight, follow me gentlemen.

 Aiden_Corleone begins to walk towards the stairs, holding his highly expensive package.

 do u wanna skip the walking? (Aiden_Corleone)

 yes (Bogomil_Collin)

 Bogomil_Collin says to his helper Careful here, boy.

 Aiden_Corleone says Boy, that was a long walk wasnt it.

 Aiden_Corleone says Quickly, inside.

 Bogomil_Collin nods.

 Aiden_Corleone opens the door, holds it for the Bogomil and his assistant.

 Please wait while you are being teleported to the property. To leave, use /exit.

 Bogomil_Collin looks around.

 Aiden_Corleone says Ugh, lets place it over here.

 Aiden_Corleone says I will hang it up somewhere, later.

 Bogomil_Collin says On the table?

 Aiden_Corleone says Ugh yeah, if it wont damage the painting.

 Aiden_Corleone says Maybe we should lean it against this wall?

 Bogomil_Collin carefully puts the glass container on the table.a

 Animation applied.

 Aiden_Corleone says Or the table would do.

 Bogomil_Collin says Untill it is inside the container it is safe.

 Would Bogomil and his worker appear to be tired after the carrying? (Aiden_Corleone)

 Aiden_Corleone nods twice.

 no, the painting wouldn't be heavy (Bogomil_Collin)

 Aiden_Corleone says Well, um.

 Aiden_Corleone says You fellas need a drink?

 Aiden_Corleone says Or too busy with the warehouse for one?

 Bogomil_Collin looks at his helper.

 Bogomil_Collin says We are actually in a hurry.

 Bogomil_Collin says Got another delivery.

 Aiden_Corleone says Oh, thats sad to hear.

 Aiden_Corleone nods twice.

 Aiden_Corleone says Please be on with your way.

The Collin Family has long been defunct, but that shall no longer be the case from now on! The Collin Family is back once again. We have some fresh members and are ready to once again promote legal roleplay in Argonath. We currently have a few fronts running: the well-known San Fierro Driving School, the Air Traffic Control Service and 2 restaurants, one in San Fierro, near the Gant bridge and one in Fort Carson, close to the FBI HQ. We may extend our operations in the future however.

The Collin Family is operating mainly in the food business around Fort Carson nowadays, as we own a restaurant and the local doughnut shop. We also manage a gas station in Doherty, San Fierro (and we let people refill at the lowest price on the market: $11 !). We are also planning to open up a limousine service (as we are still in the ownership of a Stretch, but we haven't taken it out for a spin for a long time). Stay tuned in order to see media from our activities.

Come by our restaurant and "doughnuteria" whenever you can. We have customers all the time and they are all pleased of our services.

[Luca Man]

Here you can see more excerpts from the recent activity at our "doughnuteria" and our gas station. Thanks to the kindness of the government (HQ), we now have a proper, usable garage at our gas station. Aside from the usual refilling that people may need, we are also able to provide mechanic services, and, of course, if anyone is in need of a quick snack, they may feel free to go to the bar inside.

Recently, we have had quite some bizarre events at our business ventures. At our "doughnuteria", we have had plenty of customers. Nothing bizarre here. However, one of our customers was the Pope himself, and due to him living in harmony with all of Sauron's creations, two cows blasted through the front door. They were quickly pacified. As usual, the local law enforcement was slow to respond and utterly useless in handling the case. Fortunately (due to the high prices of our doughnuts), we were able to pay for a new door!

Moreover, at our gas station, of all the vehicles that could stop, a stunt plane with a broken engine managed to land. As I tried to help the owner of the plane, by replacing his burnt engine with temporary components which could help him fly to the nearest airport (after all, this is a gas station for land vehicles!), he decided to fly off and almost caused a huge accident in the area. He is banned from ever making use of our services again. The authorities are yet to identify him.

We are also planning a future expansion of our services, however more details are to be revealed in the near future.

Spoiler for Excerpts from our "doughnuteria" and our gas station activities:

Come by our businesses whenever you can. Our customers have always been pleased of our quality services.
