There’s more important things we need’a do today. ❞ The administrator pointed out, shifting from one foot to the next. ❝ Firstly, I wanna welcome Nikolai. For now, he’ll be a prospective until he can prove his loyalty to da group. There are a couple things I need done — which I’ll get onto in a minute — that you’ll be able to do to prove yourself. ❞ Teddy said as he began to refer to Nikolai directly. Of course, all of the tasks were also available for made men to take on in order to prove their unremitting faithfulness to the big three.
❝ Next thing, my nephews celebrated their first birthday! Ya best have celebrated with ‘em, or at least have gotten ‘em a gift. It ain’t too late to do so, by the way. ❞ Matthew and Milo were clearly adored by Teddy, and he would do anything to ensure that they were spoiled by the group that their parents and uncle led. ❝ And speaking of parties, dis one’s important: we’re gonna invite Flintlock Lodge over for a casino night. ❞ He quirked a brow, clearly considering it only for its ulterior motive. ❝ I heard that they’re our biggest competition right now. Got a bar ‘n’ now they’re distilling their own alcohol. Competition ain’t so good for us because we got guests sayin’ they’ll also start frequenting Flintlock because da weather’s nice up there now in the summertime. ❞
This enterprise in The Badlands was not a seasonal venture. They would not survive if guests began to believe as much. For the first time since he began his leadership here in The Badlands, Teddy faced a grave situation that they had to deal with promptly. ❝ Want everyone to make ‘em feel uneasy when they get here. Really show ‘em who they messin' with. They don’t do flavoured vodka like we do! We’ll nip it in da bud, show ‘em that we’re not a group that they should upset. They already butted heads with those hillbilly ranchers in Bluestem Prairie — they don’t wanna have to deal with more issues. We’ll settle it easily, show ‘em what a real bar should look like. ❞
Teddy didn’t like competition, and so he would make sure Flintlock Lodge would take a step back by going down the path of least resistance. A good scare should do the trick. ❝ And here comes the jobs I need doin’; Nikolai, one of these tasks would be enough to prove to me that you are worthy of bein’ here. Firstly, I want a group of y’all to maybe… throw a dash of somethin’ in Flintlock’s distillers. I don’t care what it is, I just want the guests who drink it to get sick ‘n’ blame it on da poor quality of the distilled alcohol. Try not kill anyone though; we don’t want people gettin’ suspicious. ❞
❝ Also, I need someone to deliver a batch of illicit goods to a nearby community in da loner lands. They got a couple’a weapons to trade in return, so bring ‘em back here. Lastly, there’s a guy up north who didn’t hold up his side of the bargain. I need someone to go to his place and knock some sense into him if ya know what I'm sayin'. Ya understand? Good, so who’s willing to step up to do one of those three jobs? ❞
