It has officially been a month since Jeffery was mailed that video which detailed the whereabouts of Marcus Reynolds. Within then and now, a lot as happened. I developed the powers of a Time and Space Extortionist; aka: Twilight Extortionist. It turns out that I was already developing my powers through my P.E, which was effecting my bodies ability to retain the form I requested upon dying. With my Twilight powers and my P.E powers both trying to develop, my body was unable to ever gain its full potential, but once Damion put my twilight powers in, and took my P.E powers out, I was finally able to become myself. My hair was ruined a bit, leaving some white to remain. But aside from a few aesthetic issues, I have been able to heal all my wounds from the explosion.
The twilight powers took some time to learn, but Seth was extremely helpful with them. He taught me how to use my powers at will. In real time, I can stay in the twilight state for over 30 seconds, 15 seconds longer than the average Twilight Extortionist. Within the twilight state everything is colorless and, although they look still, things do move under half a millimetre per second (Aside from me of coarse). One cool thing both Seth and I discovered while training me in the art of twilight, if two Twilight Extortionists use their powers at the exact same time, they will both enter, and be able to interact with each other, within the twilight state. This comes at a small cost, cutting the time in half. Twilight powers also have some other cool extensions, like; Twilight Powers can be used to teleport from one place to another, that is how Charles, Seth and Oliver were able to jump around me in hectic situations. They didn’t just freeze time, they moved the space around them in order to surround me. Also, I learned how to bring in objects into the twilight state along with me, this only costs me a second (real time), losing three minutes (Twilight Time). The final and most important thing I have learned from my time with Seth is that: using my twilight powers can and does take a toll on my physical well being and my soul’s durability. For this reason, a large number of Twilight Extortionists choose to upgrade their souls by becoming Vampires or creatures like them to maintain a strong soul and body. Me? I’m remaining a human for as long as I possibly can.
Within the month of gaining twilight powers and gaining the status of the Twilight Mafia Don, peacefulness outside the world of Rex have gone downhill. Almost immediately, the other mafias in Limbo City have all been attacked or damaged by Joker. Joker had become a terrorist to Limbo’s innocent citizens. With the chaos Joker had brought with him as he came out of hiding has taken it’s toll on the property of the Mafias. The Don’s of the Shadow Mafia and the Silver Bullet Gang called upon the Circle of Kings to discuss the Joker threat. The Circle of Kings is a meeting of all the head Mafia bosses that reside of Limbo’s main city. Each of these Mafias come with their own distinct characteristics and extremely colourful Dons. At the meetings, the Don’s are escorted with one advisor and one guardian into the warehouse where the meetings take place. Outside the warehouse are a string of black limos that bring the Dons and their posy to and from the meetings. Inside the Mafias are all seated to assigned seats that were long ago chosen. The Dons sit around a long regal table with fancy silverware in front of them and the host then begins the meetings. Before arrival, Charles drew me up a quick sketch of the seating arrangements so I wouldn’t make an ass of myself. It’s a tad hard to read, but he did his best in a moving vehicle.

First are the Clowns. Jeffery sitting at the head of the table, Trisha sitting next to him, and Skull standing behind him. They are all wearing their masks, proudly representing their Mafia. And sitting next to are me, my advisor Roselie, and Charles my guard. Jarrek was going to be my advisor, but he told me that he had some business to take care of because when I became Don, work had to halt in order to show me the ropes. He told me that he trusted me to take part in the Circle of Kings, he said I had to do it sometime.
Across from me is Shadow Mafia. Don of the Shadows is Daiten; a large hooded man wrapped in a scarf and poncho. The only facial features I can make out are his large snake-like, red eyes that glow through the darkness. Beside him is Clay Marrin; Samantha’s once fiancé. At beginning of the meeting, Jeffery introduced me to everyone and gave me a small little detail of an engagement that kind of fell through. This undoubtedly gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling as I was introduced to the sad and miserable Clay. Out of the seven Mafias, only the Clowns and the Twilights have brought guards, which kind of makes me feel inferior, but I’m safe, so that’s all I care about.
Sitting beside me is Maximilian Spencer and his advisor/ guard; Nichole. Funny thing about Max, he’s Flare’s younger brother. Although he make look like a child, Max can apparently control all of the elements of the earth to his will, and with this power he followed in his brothers footsteps and joined the Clown Mafia. After awhile working for Jeffery, Max grew bored of being a henchmen and created his own mafia with the help of Nichole. Element Extortionists everywhere looked up to him and a large amount of them joined his newly formed mafia; The Elementals. I don’t think I need to say what they specialize in, do I?
Across from The Elementals is The Silver Bullet Gang. The Silver Bullets are practically a military grade motorcycle gang. They work with guns and ammo. No special powers, no secret weapons. Jake is a laid back kind of guy, his hair is red with orange streaks in it, and he is Jeffery’s half brother. Not only that, but his advisor, if Jeffery’s unborn child; Zorren. Remember when Samantha told me about how Jeffery and Trisha broke up? They broke up originally because Trisha had gotten pregnant, and when the baby died, she was scared how Jeffery would react to it, so she ran away. As the baby came into the afterlife, it had no personality, he practically had no soul, but for some reason that baby went on to grow in Limbo. As the baby got older, it’s soul would glitch out and hop ages back and forth from old to young for nearly a hundred years. Until Trisha found him and brought him to Damion. Damion fixed the boy’s issues and the boy became Zorren. Eager to prove his father proud, Zorren joined the Silver Bullets and aimed to one day become his own Don. At this point though, Zorren is only an advisor to Jarrek.
Sitting beside The Elementals is the Don of the Demonic Mafia Clan. The D.M.C’s Don is a  tall woman, comprised of body tattoos and facial pairings, Emberlyne also sports a punkish hairdo of black and blue. She wears fishnet down her arms and a lacy corset, wrapped around the waist is a series of belts that then connect to black and white, ripped, chequered pants. She’s quite the looker, but what numbs the gothic effect of her dark personality, is the boy she carries around with her. She apparently found him at her church and has since adopted him as her own son, naming him Damon. He’s a cute little kid with wavy blonde and a oversized sweatshirt. What makes the D.M.C so unique is not their dark and metal clad crusaders, but their special power to project a person’s inner most fears in front of them and then uses that victim’s fear as an opening to take them out. They work with power plants and energy mostly, Emberlyne seems to actually have quite the sophisticated mind.
Finally, there are the Masqueraders. This mafia doesn’t exactly run like a mafia, they earn their money from alcohol fuelled raves to bars and taverns. Aside from their known dealings with the bar scene, The Masqueraders are a relatively unknown mafia. Instead of a Don, their mafia is ran by title of Tobi, and when title of Tobi is acquired, one must throw away all old aliases and become Tobi. The Masqueraders are a relatively new mafia that only rose to power in the last decade, which is actually really astonishing considering it took other mafia’s like the Shadows to raise over a thousand years, going through over 11 Dons. The Tobi at today’s meeting is an old man with mime-like makeup on, and cuddling at his chin is a relatively young woman named Carin in a weird Harley Quinn cosplay-like outfit. You, know, the Harley Quinn from Batman: Arkham Asylum, only a little more ‘school appropriate.’ If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should probably just ‘Google it.’
At last Jeffery brought the introductions to a conclusion and clapped his hands to bring in a swarm of temporary employees carrying plates of food for every individual. During dinner no one spoke. The only sounds were that of food being mauled into much and being digested. When we all had clean plates in front of us, Jeffery clapped once more, and the temporary staff came in, cleaned up our plates and left. Jeffery took off his mask after he finished his meal and a maid took his plate away. Once the staff was cleared of the grubby warehouse, Jeffery clears his throat with a glass of red wine and begins to speak, “Lets get this over with.”
Daiten stands up abruptly, his hood and scarf fall to his shoulders, revealing his large scaly reptilian mug, “What is the Clown Mafia doing about the menace Joker?” Black scaly lips move along  the long crocodile snout, revealing bloodstained teeth, “You told us that you would deal with this annoyance and that we would not have to intervene. Joker has slaughtered 400 of my men and destroyed three of my outposts. There are people pulling off hits and no one is getting paid for their work.”
Max stands on his chair and roars, “Seven of my amusement parks have been thrown into chaos, innocent people are dying because you aren’t doing what you promised!”
“Our Nuclear Power plant has been corrupted, and we have been forced to halt production because of hundreds of fatal accidents with suspicious happenstances. And I’m still losing workers because of ongoing accidents that seem to revolve around a young man that has half a face,” complains Emberlyne.
Jake takes his boots off the table and stands up, “You think you have it bad? Joker has corrupted over 90% of my members, what was once the largest gang in the city is now the size of an apartment complex.  I lost my vice Don, my daughter and all of the profit I should have earned over my last shipment haul of weapons that I sold to the Clown Mafia. Tell me brother, how are you going to fix all of our issues? Are you going to kill Joker and then just say, ‘Good ‘nuff?’ Or are you going to reimburse us for the lost property?”
How is it possible that one man has done so much damage in just under a month, and all by himself too?
“We have our best trackers on the situation. Hector Anderson and his strikeforce are hot on Joker’s trail. We will have a conclusion to this situation soon, you just have to bare down until then. Watch your men, and make sure there are no holes that Joker can take advantage of,” declares Jeffery.
As the rabble of the arguing mafia bosses begins to get louder with complaints, a small thought comes to mind that I think could work. It’s simple and constructive. Nervous to get a word out, I raise my voice a little, “Why don’t we work together?”
No one hears me.
“Why don’t we work together?” I repeat.
No one hears me. I look back at my pink hair assistant wrapped in a long white scarf and a beige suit. She smiles and nods.
Frustratingly, I try one more time.
No one hears me.
“Why don’t we work together!” I yell at the top of my lungs.
The noise  of the greedy money makers extinguishes.
Everyone stops and stares as if I dropped my pants, jumped on the table and startled to shake what God gave me. Roselie and Charles look at me like, ‘You can do it!’
I clear my throat and speak,  “Maybe we could work with the clowns in order to catch Joker?”
Jeffery scoffs, “Are you telling me I am not capable of doing it myself?”
Jeffery’s hostility surprises me, “No,” I say, “It just seems that too much is at risk with Joker running free and that maybe if we worked together we could find him sooner, and put an end to all the chaos. We can use everyone’s abilities to catch him sooner, the Clowns don’t need to do it all by themselves.”
“I refuse,” Jeffery announces without reason.
Daiten flexes his mouth, “A this point I’m willing to do anything to stop this psycho. I agree with the kid.”
Jake laughs and sits back, “This kid is still fresh out of the oven. Plus, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t… The Silver Bullets don’t have to resources to make up for what they’ve lost. Within a few weeks our power will be erased and we will have to join another mafia just to stay alive. Damion takes power very seriously, so unless we can’t become a full mafia again, he is going to take our souls and recycle the lot of us.” He pauses and thinks, “But with that in mind, I might as well help anyway I can before I am forced to bend a knee and join my brother’s mafia anyways. Fine, I’m in.”
“I’m out. This is Jeffery’s problem, and I expect to be reimbursed for all the casualties and damage my property takes and has taken over the last month and future caused by James Jessie Jefferson,” declines Emberlyne.
Max looks around the room and thinks deeply. Nichole leans over and says something that makes his sit back up, “We agree with The D.M.C. Right now, we have to try and help those who are not part of this that have been injured because of this. So for now, The Elementals decline. I’m sorry.”
The only ones not to answer are The Masqueraders and before I have a chance to ask, Tobi stands up, Carin at his hip, and walks out of the warehouse. The D.M.C and the Elementals follow after.
“I’m sorry Rex, but I don’t need you’re help,” Jeffery says coldly and tries to leave but Trisha catchers him by the wrist.
“Mr. Jay?” Trisha takes off her mask and gives Jeffery a long hard stare.
A small sweat rolls down Jeffery’s temple and he sits back down and clears his throat. “Fine. The Clown Mafia will work with the Shadow Mafia and The Twilight Mafia to take out Joker, and merge with the Silver Bullet Gang.”
Charles places his hand on my shoulder to congratulate me on my first achievement of Twilight Prince.
The only thing left is to take down Joker.
