Butler duties

Written by Schiavi di Don at 11:47 21/7-2018

  'Get me a Pizza Arrabiata and quickly!', the Don screamed at Pippino for the fifth time that day. Once again, there was no response. Pippino was wearing Virtual Reality glasses, which he was using to plan his next 'holiday'.
  
  Hidde entered the house, and the Don once again raised his voice from the comfortable sofa on which he had been lying around since being carried out of bed. But Hidde also couldn't answer to his request. He was bleeding from his left leg, and in dire need of stitches. He found help in the next room, where Arlo had been busy sharpening his cutlery.
  
  This enraged the Don even more, because none of his servants seemed to be loyal enough to provide him with his simple culinary needs. There is only one solution he thought. He had to hire a Butler.
  
  Welcome Liam!

  Ah, but a murder attempt is the usual introduction test at Schiavi di Don, so I would be disappointed if he didn't!

  You do realise that it's always the butler, with a candlestick, in the study. I'd be checking what's in his luggage if I was you.

  Never trust your butler!

Schiavi di Don at 11:55 21/7-2018
  I will send the Butler

Team Oasis at 11:54 21/7-2018
  Ah nothing to worry for then. Will you be in the chat?

Schiavi di Don at 11:52 21/7-2018
  He will use his abilities to assist on the hills, and apparently he is also very talented at breaking wind.

Team Oasis at 11:49 21/7-2018
  Can the butler be a threat in the future?
