You are the notorious gangster Sylvio Brookhaven. One botched job in Queens has left you in this hellhole. Now you've been in your fair share of prison cells before, except this time you've got a whole set of unique problems. See, that botched job has left you with a screaming headache, a swollen lip that even your mother wouldn't touch, and here's the kicker-that little unforunate mishap back at Queens has given you short-term memory loss and you can't find your family's treasured medallion. Here's a little tidbit: not only is that medallion priceless, it's also the only thing keeping you at the head of your empire back in New York. Without such an expensive item, your worth drops big time. Your main boys Louie Moonhawk and Tony Blossoms have pulled a few strings and you are getting out in three days. So listen up: You better find that fucking medallion or you can kiss your whole empire goodbye.
[[Focus]]
Being a big bad gangster in prison comes with a few perks. One of those perks is that you get a certain amount of alone time where you can roam the prison, free to do as you please. See, the guards in here are afraid of you. They know what you've done and they know what you are capable of. All you ask for is a little alone time now and then and everything is peaches and cream between you and them.
Now this prison is pretty large. Once you choose a starting point, you'll be forcd to go to other locations due to proximity. CHOOSE WISELY. And pay attention.
Remember: You only have (text-style: "bold")[3] days until you get out of this place. Time is not on your side.
You take an evening shower after dinner, then you have your time to roam the prison.
[[Let's find this medallion]]
It is day #(print: $day).
Where are you gonna start, Sylvio?
[[Cafeteria]]
[[Slim Jimmy's cell]]
[[Boiler room]]
[[TV Room]]
[[Go to your cell]]
(set: $day to 1)
(goto: "What's up, Sylvio?")
(else:)[(goto: "The End")]
You stroll into the cafe like you own the place, nodding to the fellas who would have taken a bullet for you back in Queens. The place is pretty quiet this time of day. It's disgusting as usual. The stench of rotten food makes you feel sick. There aren't many places to hide in here.
No sign of the medallion yet.
[[Let's check out the gym|Gym]]
You enter the gym where you see some lads pumping iron. Gino DeMarco is hitting the bench press again while his brother Nino is spotting him. These boys are hard.
You overhear a conversation they are having:
[[Listen to the conversation]]
Slim Jimmy. If there is one man who sends a shiver up your spine, it's this man. He knows too much about this prison. You count your lucky stars that he isn't in his cell today. Why would Slim Jimmy have your medallion? You sure as hell hope he doesn't. You swear this man is never here. He's either at the basketball courts or taking care of business elsewhere. Somewhere much darker. Somewhere much hotter.
[[I should head over to that guard tower next|Abandoned guard tower]]
You spend a majority of your freetime here, so it isn't too crazy to think you may have left your precious medallion here in an attempt to learn more about it. But unforunately, it's not here.
<hr>
[[End day|Transition]]
This place has been vacant for years. Your father used to tell you about the days when this was the only guard tower in the whole prison. Well, back then this prison was tiny. As crime rates increased, so did the size of this god forsaken place. Although the view is nice, there is no trace of your medallion.
[[Appreciate the view]]
The laundry room. A hell of a good choice. It's always been oddly soothing for you in here. None of your enemies show up. Just you and your boys. You tend to carry that medallion in your pants sometimes for good luck. You search through old laundry only to find that the medallion is no where to be found.
<hr>
[[End Day|Transition]]
One time, you ran into Fat Pauly, Mikey Shoegaze, and Slim Jimmy all having a go at one of the guards. The guard must had forgotten to get them cigarettes or something. Anyway, it wasn't pretty. Some pretty horrific shit goes on down here. And it's always so damn hot. This place is full of surprises...except for your damn medallion. Where the hell could it be? Or better yet, who the hell has it?
[[Try the nurse's office|Nurse's office]]
The injuries from Queens had found you in the nurses office for some standard medical care. You can't remember for the life of you if you have ever brought the medallion in there. Surprisingly, not many guys wind up in here. Especially if they are infamous around this prison. They typically bypass the nurse. In prison, you have to be anything but soft, even when you're hurting.
After further investigation, turns out you hadn't left your medallion here.
[[Talk to the nurse]]
(set: $day to it +1)
(if: $day <=3)[(goto: "Let's find this medallion")]
(else:)[(goto: "The End")]
You have no idea why it would be in here. If the guards put you in here, they would have their bodies beat by your gang the next opporuntity they get. There is no possible way your medallion is in here.
<hr>
[[End day|Transition]]
You did not find the medallion in time before your release. You swear if you just had a few more days before your release you could have found the fucking thing. You are forced to go home empty handed. You can kiss your empire goodbye.
As you pack up, you find a note on the back of your portable T.V.
(text-style: "italic")[If you're looking for that Medallion, you can find it where I am. But where am I? Come looking for me at 7pm today.]
-SJ
Holy shit. Slim Jimmy has the medallion. You've only got one shot at this. Think hard about where Slim Jimmy would be at this time. Focus.
Where are you gonna go, Sylvio?

Who would have thought? This place has a goddamn T.V. Only the guys with the inside scoop know this area of the prison. You don't spend much time in here though. You've got your own portable T.V. in your cell. The medallion shouldn't be here.
[[Head to the cells|Cells]]
You head down a hallway that leads you to a large block of cells. Your cell is in the block next to this one, so you are fairly familiar with the layout. You check the hallway from top to bottom. If you would have dropped it in here, there's a possiblity someone could have taken it.
[[Talk to the guard]]
You catch the guard by surprise while he is drinking his coffee.
"Oh shit! Sy-sy-Sylvio! How are you? How's your stroll going?"
You grab him by the collar and look him dead in the eye:
"Listen here pig: I don't have much time before I get outta this dump you call your workplace, and I still haven't found my medallion. You wanna tell me if you've seen it around?"
"Sylvio! Jesus Christ, man. They don't tell me anything around here, don't you know that?"
You tighten your grasp as you pull a shank out from your pocket and jam it into his thigh.
"Give me anything. I'm desperate. If you don't, the next one is going in your eye."
"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT PLEASE. I-i-i-i thought I saw some lanky guy talk about it the other day. I couldn't make out who it was. I'm new here Sylvio! You know this!"
You figure that's all you're going to get out of this waste. Jam another one in his leg and get a move on.
[[Look for Slim Jimmy|Basketball Courts 2]]
It's an unlikely place to look. But hell, at this point you're willing to try anything.
You know, after spending 8 months here, you've really grown to like your cell. It's nothing like home, but still, out of all this shit this prison has to offer, there is a small area of luxury in this place and you are lucky to call it your home. You even have a portable T.V.
You turn the T.V. on.
You've been under a tremendous amount of pressure lately. You start to doze off...
[[You're fast asleep, but you don't have time for this]]
Minutes before the tone goes off, you stumble out of your cell, falling in the arms of one of the guards.
"Sylvio? What the fuck is wrong with you? Yo, somebody help me out with Sylvio over here!"
You can't stop coughing uncontrollably, making the guard think you are going to hurl at any moment. Beforehand, you rubbed some moisturizer on your face and immediately splashed some water on your face (not your hair) to make yourself look clammy and exhausted.
"For the love of-somebody get this guy off me! Billy! Get this guy to the nurses office."
Billy loosely graps you as he takes you down the hallway towards the nurses office.
"You know, you probably caught the flu that's going around. And you were so close to-"
Before he can finish, you run a shank into his neck. You dropped him onto the floor and head to the boiler room.
It takes about 10 minutes to get there, dodging a few guards along the way. Finally, you arrive at the boiler room.
[[Boiler room|Boiler room yo]]
You arrive at the boiler room earlier than expected.
Standing around a headlight stands Slim Jimmy dangling your medallion. You figure this guy must be 6'10." Rail thin. Can't be a pound over 150. You never let his appearance decieve you becuase oh my god...this guy has done some damamge in his life.
At the age of 11, he was charged for arson at a local donut shop.
When he was 17 years old, he killed his father, shipped his mother to Iceland, and sued them for child abuse, leading him to live with his godparents, who he murdered within a week of living with them. Everyone knew he did it, but this is Slim Jimmy we are talking about. The boy was untraceable.
By age 24, this guy was ruling the black market. He had ruined enough lives to make it to the top. Not only was he merciless, he was smart too. The guy knew how to run a buisness. Illegal drugs, booze, weapons; you name it, Slim Jimmy could get it to you.
Slim Jimmy was the centerpiece. Well, until they finally busted him.
It must have been a fluke. They must have caught this guy at EXACTLY the right moment otherwise I have no idea how they would have overtaken his entire army to get to him.
This is the man between you and your medallion.
He approaches you.
[["What's up, Sylvio?"]]
"Jim...how the hell did you get that medallion?"
"It was easy. I had Gino and Nino Demarco pickpocket it off you in the gym a week back. I gave those idiots 20 packs of cigarettes for this. They had no idea how valuable this is, did they?"
"Fucking morons. I should have never trusted them. What now, Jim?"
"Well, I'll give you two options, Syvlio. One: I give this to you, but you spend 20 more years in this hellhole. But here's the catch: You spend those 20 years in MY cell. I get your cell until my sentense is over. Or two: we fight for it. No weapons. Just me versus you. Winner keeps the medallion. What do you say?"
[[Fight the son of a bitch]]
[[Take the 20 years. You can't afford to lose this medallion.]]
Both of you strip down to your skivvies, remove your belts, and stand directly in front of each other under the the single headlight.
There's no turning back now.
[[Fight for your empire]]
Jim and you walk over to the guards room. You request to change rooms.
For the next 20 years, you spend it in utter flith, while Jim is living like a normal human being in your cell.
You get to keep the medallion though. That's all that really matters. Well, at least until you lose it again. The short term memory loss hasn't gotten any better. Keep an eye on that medallion and maybe you can still salvage your empire when you finally get out.
The End
[[Restart|Begin]]
You find yourself at the shower area. You do a quick scan of the place. You search a little more near the drains.
Nope, no sign of the medallion.
[[Go to cafeteria kitchen|Cafe kitchen]]
You waltz in, nodding to the cooks in the back. This place makes you sick. You have no idea how some of these people work here everyday. The smell makes you nauseous. Get the hell out of there.
<hr>
[[End day|Transition]]
Slim Jimmy is always at the basketball courts at this time.
Sure enough, you see his whole gang playing pickup games with the new inmates.
You approach the courts, but slowly back away when you realize Slim Jimmy is no where to be found.
Suddenly, you here the tone over the intercoms signaling that it is 7pm. Time to head back to the cells. You missed your chance on your lead.
<hr>
[[End Day|Transition]]
Not even close, Sylvio. You failed to pinpoint Slim Jimmy's location. He's got the medallion and now they're shipping you back home emptied-handed. You are in shock over the thoughts of catastrophy that will occur to your empire.
Face the music.
The End
[[Restart|Begin]]
He hits you with a left hook straight to the jaw. This guy's reach is unbelievable.
He lands a punch in your stomach. He's relentless. And he can't stop laughing.
Finally, you are able to grab one of his arms as he goes for another uppercut.
You manage to lock him up. You've got him now.
You can end it right here.
[[Attempt to choke him out]]
[[Bang his head against the steaming hot pipe]]
His long nails dig into your skin. Your chest has some serious lacerations.
Even through the pain, you magae to choke him out.
You've suceeded! You grab the medallion from his fingers. Things are going to be alright. The medallion
Slim Jimmy is passed out on the floor helpless.
[[Kill him]]
[[Let him be. Not even a monster deserves to go out like this. It's against your code of ethics to kill a man who is passed out.]]
You slam Slim Jimmy's head up against one of the pipes. He lets out a wail that you've never heard anyone make before. You burn his face clean-off.
You didn't even think you were capable of doing something like that.
But this is Slim Jimmy we are talking about. Bringing out the worst in people is kind of his speciality.
All of a sudden, the guards rush into the boiler room and apprehend you.
You are charged with manslaughter in a prison. Who knows how much longer you'll be in here. You await trial in the coming days. In the meantime, your medallion is safe. You place it in your cell in the hopes that it will never get stolen again.
The End
[[Restart|Begin]]
You end him right there.
The son of a bitch has reached his end. You feel a sense of pride that you are the one to bring this monster down.
All of a sudden, the guards rush into the boiler room and apprehend you.
You are charged with manslaughter in a prison. Who knows how much longer you'll be in here. You await trial in the coming days. In the meantime, your medallion is safe. You place it in your cell in the hopes that it will never get stolen again.
The End
[[Restart|Begin]]
You let Sylvio lie down there in the dark under that single headlight. Someone will find him eventually.
You manage to make it back to your cell in time before you leave.
You head back to Queens to regain your throne. With the medallion by your side, you are the most powerful man in New York.
The End
[[Restart|Begin]]
"Times have been tough here recently. We've gotten so many injuries come in within the past week or so. All of the paitents are calling them "accidents," but I think we all know better than to believe that there isn't something else going on at this place."
[[Head to solitary confinement|Solitary confinement]]
There's nothing like this spot in the whole prison. You try to come here at least once a day. It's just beautiful up here. You feel like a free man.
[[Laundry room]]
"Have you seen Jim lately, Nino?"
"Not once, Gino. You know, he's been spending a lot of time in the boiler room. Must be taking care of some a lot business lately. I try not to make eye contact with the guy anymore. Just yesterday, his boys shot up my apartment back home. No one is even living there right now. He just shot it up because he knows I'll be out soon and he knows that is what I'll be coming home to. The guy's a sociopath."
You listen in as you search the gym top to bottom. Still nothing.
[[How about the library?|Library]]
Shit! You slept longer than you anticipated and you left your cell. You better get back to searching. You can't believe you dozed off like that. At least no one messed with you in your sleep while your cell was open.
