January 13th 2025 Recap
• Hades members meet up with parts of Cypress to participate in Squid Games courtesy of Andi Jones. Fun was had and everyone and impressed with her designs; Ray inquired if she would be available to decorate for a Hades event. Benji made sure to ask about the compensation portion.
• Benji attended a meeting with HC regarding Rico and his antics towards Billy. As well as members' roles and responsibilities in general. After much discussion, Benji compromised that members can punish associates, but shooting is off the table. Benji felt that members should be able to blood out or shoot associates if they had a good reason, but Ray and others felt some couldn’t be trusted with that responsibility and didn’t want to risk losing a good associate because of a bad decision from a member. Later underbosses and LTs voice their concerns with members having any ability to physically punish an associate. The issue has yet to be solved.
• Hades had a large impromptu meeting since so many people were around. Lance was demoted for talking back (Benji said if he says sorry in front of everyone and calls him “dadda” he can have his LT position back), and none of the associates were made members. Benji voiced that everyone was putting in work, but none had been brought up by members or above for full membership. He suggested they politic more. Fatboi was made an associate. Ray was on board, especially after hearing how rich Fatboi is. Mona was promoted to LT to reign in the AU squad. Rico can no longer run wild as before. Molly was credited with increasing gang tax to 20k, and it was announced that masks and vests will be updated, and the Hades awards will be on Friday.

• HC has a meeting where Lance is promoted again to LT, LTs asked to leave so Underbosses and Bosses can discuss their own. Reggie is upset that Benji keeps making jabs at him in front of everyone else. Reggie, at his breaking point, leaves mid-meeting. Benji starts to speculate on the loyalty of people around him. KJ hits the mark and speculates that Benji is trying to break Reggie for some reason (Benji's inner monologues say that he is, but the reason is not yet known). Benji is also suspicious of Jayden’s loyalty as he leaves to go talk to Reggie after the meeting. Ray tries to salvage Reggie’s and Benji’s relationship and talks to Reggie as well. Reggie later comes back and thinks Benji has a hidden agenda. Reggie questions Benji on why he is protecting Rico B. so much and why he is coming at Reggie so hard. Benji says he will start to treat Reggie differently from now on with how he talks. Benji and Reggie seem to be ok again, at least for Reggie.
• Benji also meets up with WSV towards the end of the day which is a much-needed relief from serious meetings. WSV, (Rico S and Diggy become the start of Benji’s choir to sing his new el Jefe song). Diggy gets added to the weed app and Benji finds out that Diggy and Rico S. have crushes on Winter after the two get into an argument and spill tea about their antics in another city. Diggy shares how he was shot for saying Martin Haribo’s car was ugly and Benji agrees Martin is not gangster and people are too sensitive to words in Los Santos. Benji also finds out that WSV has no bullets to protect themselves so gives them 1911 ammo to help them out.
