Nemme dies? Okay, I'll go write the story!

Day 3

The town certainly was beginning to panic more and more. How long could this chaos possibly go on for? Peach wondered. Hopefully, the crew she sent out early on to search for Mario was getting somewhere. There were seven of them total, consisting of creatures who had aided Mario on previous adventures. They were the best of the best; if they couldn't find Mario, no one could.
Not to mention that the crowd of visiting Bumpties, upon hearing of Mario's kidnapping, were practically destroying the town in their search for clues. Those creatures were obsessed with mysteries… Peach rolled her eyes, recalling the story Mario told her about the 'mystery' of their mayor's 'murder.' They were certainly quite ridiculous creatures!
Suddenly, a large commotion outside caught Peach's attention. It seemed the group of Boos who had come a few hours earlier to mourn Lady Bow's death were arguing with the Bumpties… no, wait…

* * *

"I'm telling you, he's the culprit!" A Bumpty shouted.
"Now, come here!" I rather old Boo stated. "There's no need to jump to such conclusion so early on!"
"Well, he does have a point. This guy's suspicious," another Boo said.
"But it could have easily been one of the Creepy Steeple Boos!" another Bumpty whined.
"No," A Boo told it, "The Boos in Creepy Steeple are no different than us; friendly creatures! They would never kidnap Mario."
"But they scare people!"
"As all Boos do. Tis our nature. But we never rape, murder, or, well, carry out any of the threats we make. We simply scare them, that's all."
"Hey! The culprit's escaping!" A Bumpty suddenly called.
A little more than half the crowd of Boos and Bumpties began to run towards the so-called 'culprit.'
"No! Wait!" Peach called, as she finally reached the group.
"Alas, it is too late!" The older Boo, who Peach now recognized as Bootler, Lady Bow's butler, mournfully told her. "Yet another innocent is to die! How tragic…"

* * *

Koops ran and ran and ran, until he just couldn't run anymore. The Bumpties somehow managed to ride atop the Boos, who of course had an unlimited Stamina, so Koops stood no chance. Just a little bit farther, and perhaps he could escape into the rive, using his shell as a boat… No, wait! Boos could float, too! And Bumpties could swim! Maybe , if he ran fast enough, he could make it to the search party. They could certainly set the Boos and Bumpties straight, right?
"Aaah!" Koops called, tripping over a treeroot and falling flat on his face. He scrambled to get up, but not quickly enough; the Boos and Bumpties were already on top of him… And where did they get those torches and pitchforks, anyway?
"Please! No! I'm innocent! Mario's buddy! Please…"
Nothing could convince the Boos and Bumpties, as those words became Koops' last…

Nemsis, AKA Koops [Innocent], has been lynched!

Game is NOT over yet. Night phase, gogogo.

Night 4

"Hmm, now who should I write to this time?" Parakarry pondered, as he perched atop the bunk-bed in his room. He didn't really need a bunk-bed, but the bottom bed folded up into a nice sofa, which he enjoyed having in case he had company, since his house was only three rooms: a main room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. With this kind of bed, he didn't need to have a separate guest room or living room.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his door.
"Come in," he muttered absently.
As the guest began to slowly creak open the door, Parakarry realized his mistake: who else but a mafia member could be calling on him at 2 am?
"Aye, no need to worry, Little Seabean. Tis only me."
"Oh, phew. Glad to know that, Admiral…"
"But, it is awfully strange, in'it, for you to be telling people to c'mon in at such a late hour, in'it not, Seabean? Whai, one would'a thought you were expectin' some'un."
"No, not, not expecting anyone, sir. Just absentmindly thinking, not realizing the time."
"Aye, o'course ye were." Admiral Bobbery nodded. "But I is more cleverer than that 'ere. I knows what ye 'ave been up to. Ye act all innocent, eh, but ye act'ally work for the Mafia. I's seen it all befere. Ye think no one'd suspect ye, bein' all innocent and young. Well, I's seen young'r children than ye working for the baddies, yes I 'ave."
"Admiral!" Parakarry proclaimed. "How could you even consider something so absurd?! …Have you been skipping out on your medicine lately?"
"I need no medicine but the Rum they sell down in Rougeport! Why, for suggestin' that, ye must be Mafia, I'm sur'af it!"
"Admiral, be reasonable…"
"Aye, my life can be spared for something as heroic as this, young fellow! Don't underestimate- cough- me!"
"Your life? Surely, you don't mean-!"
"Ah, I see ye've caught on! S'pose I don't need ta be explainin' meself now. Prepare, young Seabean, for ye life a' crime ta end!"
"No, wait! I'm not-"
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
The house was blown into a pile of rubble, as those inside perished along with it.

* * *

Meanwhile, that curious Penguin, Pennington, was once again wandering the world, investigating Mario's kidnapping. Tonight he had no specific target, but he hoped to maybe find a clue or two that could lead to one.
"So, what are you looking for?" someone behind him asked.
"Oh, just some clues… You know, footprints, hair, anything of that sort…"
"I see. I thought you were told to stop investigating?"
"No, no. That was just for the one night."
"Well, I was under the impression that you were to stop investigating this entire case, Pizza boy."
"Pizza boy? Wait, how would you-"
"Keekeekee! Was being silenced not enough for you?"
Pennington had turned right around to be inches away from one of the most hideous feminine faces he had ever seen. "You!" he proclaimed. "I knew it! You kidnapped Mario! Oh, it was so obvious, I should have known…"
"Time to die!" the ancient creature told him, as she shot a very precise "Avada Kedavra" spell at Pennington's head.
"What the fuzzle?" Pennington muttered, surprised at such an out-of-story spell being used, as the green light enveloped him, snuffing out any hope of life he had.

* * *

"Well, Sir Bowser, I think we did very well."
"Yes, yes, we did! To think, all it took was kidnapping Mario. I wish we'd have thought of that sooner!"
"Mama mia!" Mario called from his cage. "You do'a realize that I would'a joined you without all this ridi-iculous'a kida-knapping'a stuff'a? I'm'a sick'a of a good'a life'a!"
"Think I care?" Bowser asserted. "All I ever wanted was to live a good, happy life with Peach as my bride! But no, she had to have fallen for you!"
"It's true," Kammy Koopa sighed. "Bower's a good guy at heart. Just, well, selfish."
"I AM a king, Kammy!"
"Well'a Bowser, you can'a have her! I'm'a sick'a of saving'a her all'a the time'a! "
"Wait, what? You mean that?"
"Of'a course'a! My love'a belongs'a to'a Mrs'a Mowz'a!"
"Mrs. Mowz? Really?"
"Oh no. Bowser, we have a slight problem…" Kmmy Koopa muttered, pulling Bowser aside.
"What is it?"
"Well, we kind of, well, um…"
"Out with it!"
"Well, we killed Mrs. Mowz."
"WE KILLED MRS. MOWZ?!" Bowser boomed.
"What'a heck'a!" Mario screamed.
"You idiot! You just told Mario!"
"Whoops."
"Gimme'a break'a! Just'a when I've'a found'a true'a love'a, you'a kill'a her! Can't'a you'a ever'a give'a me'a break'a?!"
BOOOOOOOOOM.
At that moment, the wall of the room smashed open.
"Let Mario go!" Bombette screeched.
"Bowser! Of course!" Goombario called.
"Oh, he's at it again?! What the heck?!" Goombella called fiercely.
"Oh, fine. I'll let him go…" Bowser muttered. "I'm used to plans going awry. I know you'll just defeat me anyway…"
"What? No fight?! This is so stupid!" Yoshi thrashed.
"Quiet, you," Sushie told him. "It's a good thing there's no fight. A bunch of people already died in this rescue, no need to make it more!"
As Mario was released, Kooper dashed up to him. "Mario! Are you okay?!"
"I'm'a fine'a. Now'a leave'a me'a lone'a." He muttered, stomping off.
"Mario, hun, is there something you want to talk about?" Madame Flurrie asked him kindly. "If it makes you feel better, you can help me blow away an obstacle, or something. I know it soothed you."
"Oh, come on. He's over you, Flurrie." Vivian told her. "Just because you have something he can squeeze doesn't make you worth his time. Right, Mario?"
"What'a ever'a."
"Huh. Well, let's go home, before Bowser changes his mind…" Kooper suggested.

* * *

"Oh! Mario! I'm so glad you're okay!" Peach told him, as they arrived at the Twilight Castle.
Mario simply ignored her.
"What's wrong?"
Vivian pulled Peach aside. "He heard about Mrs. Mowz, and the others."
"Oh. Wait a second, is he out of his mind? This is Mushroom Kingdom, for god's sake! Mario, can I talk to you? Privately?"
"Sure'a."
The two wandered into Peach's room.
"Mario, all of them will be back."
"What? They're'a dead'a!"
"What part of Mushroom Kingdom don't you understand? Everyone here has infinite lives."
"Oh'a!" Mario's face lit up. "Right'a!"
"They should be back in a few minutes. Anything else on your mind? You seem concerned."
"No'a, I'm'a o'a'kay'a."
"Well, I'm not. Don't think I haven't noticed you and Mrs. Mowz. Remember, our world is rated E…"
"Right'a. Sorry'a. I'a don'ta know'a what'a I'a was'a thinking'a… now'a that'a I'a look'a at'a you'a, I'a see'a that'a I'a love'a you'a most'a."
"Okay, good… since, there's a slight other issue…"
"What'a now'a?"
"I'm pregnant."
"Oh'a. so'a we'a have'a to'a get'a married'a now'a?"
"Wedding's tomorrow."
"Ah'a. O'akay'a…"

* * *

And that's the story of what happened. Mario and Peach got Married the next day. Everyone who had 'died' returned safe and sound. And, of course, a wonderful baby was born, to follow in its father's footsteps as a hero of Mushroom kingdom… Well, not exactly. The baby actually fell into a black hole on his journey to the Star Valley, and ended up becoming the modern-day hero known as Anakin Skywalker, who fell to the Dark Side and became Darth Vader, but that's an entirely different story!

Aha! I knew you'd have a bomb in the game. :lol:

Quote:

Dacidbro, you are Lady Bow, the royal Boo residing in Forever Forest.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure that whoever has captured Mario is killed.

As a ghost, you cannot be killed during the Night phase, even if you are targeted by the Mafia. You can be killed in the day though, when your powers are weaker. In addition to being the Armor, you have an extra mischievous ability... if anyone [be they mafia or innocent] comes near you in the night - for example, to kill you, investigate you, or even save you - bad luck will soon befall them. Your alignment will always show up as inconclusive when investigated, but you should help the innocents, while having as much fun as possible.

Quote:

Riddle, you are Pennington, the super detective Bumpty of Poshley Heights.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

Although you’re a detective, your role functions more like that of Seer. You have the ability to find out the alignment of one player and each Night. Submit the name of one player to me each Night phase, and I will tell you whether they are innocent or mafia.

Quote:

Laughie, you are Parakarry, the mail carrier Paratroopa.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

You hold five pieces of stationary. With this, you may send a letter to a player up to five times throughout the game. That is, you give me a message that I will send to a player – you may not contact any player directly, and the player will not be able to reply to your message. I will relay the message to the chosen player as soon as I receive the message from you.

Alternatively, you may give pieces of stationary to another player, and that player may use the stationary however they choose.

When you want to send a letter, submit the name of one player to me, along with the message text exactly as you want it sent. When you want to give your stationary to another player, submit the player name to me and how may pieces you would like to give.

This ability is not bonded to either the Day or Night phase; you may use it whenever you like, but you may only use it five times.

Quote:

Betagold, you are Lakilester, the Lakitu [go figure!].

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

You ability is an uncommon one: the scapegoat. During the Night phase, you may submit to me one player; if you are targeted with any night actions, they will all be redirected to the chosen player.
This ability is optional, and requires some skill and luck to use, but it may have high payoff. It may only be used once.

Quote:

Oba, you are Watt, the floating sun light-bulb thing.

You are innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

You have the Illuminator role. Each Night, submit to me one player that you would like to illuminate. That player will be told all of the players that targeted him/her self that Night.

Quote:

Nehme, you are Koops, the timid Koopa from Petalburg.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

Using the Shell Shield ability, you have the power to save one player each night phase, meaning they will not be killed if they are targeted by the mafia. You must submit the name of the player you wish to save each night phase, and they will be immune that night.

Quote:

Regis, you are Ms. Mowz, the flirty Mouser thief.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

You’re not really a thief, though. More like a Tracker. You have the ability to find out who a player targets each Night phase. Submit the name of one player you would like to track to the game me each Night phase, and I will tell you who, if anyone, the player targeted that Night.

Quote:

~~Meeth~~ Stephen, you are Admiral Bobbery, the retired bob-omb sea captain.

You are an innocent, and as such are aiming to ensure whoever has captured Mario is killed.

Your ability is much like that of a Vigilante. At Night, you may choose to bomb one player, killing her or him. This ability is optional, but if you would like to use it, submit the name of the player you would like to bomb to me during a Night phase. However, you will also die as a result of using this ability, so use it wisely.

In addition to the above, you also have a second ability: this one is similar to that of a Saint. During the Day, if you are lynched, you may choose one player that has voted for you, and that player will also die. You choose the player by submitting his/her name in the thread after the game mods have confirmed that you are lynched.

Quote:

Traveling Cat, you are Kammy Koopa, Bowser’s loyal, magical, old assistant.

You are Mafia, and as such are aiming to ensure that Mario’s friends are killed before they defeat you and Bowser.

You are the most powerful Magikoopa known, and thus have a plethora of spells in your arsenal.
A. Dodge: This spell will prevent a chosen player from being investigated by other players.
B. Silence: This spell will prevent a player from posting in the thread during the Day after you use this spell on them. This means that the chosen player will not be able to vote!
C. Sleep: This spell will put the player to sleep during the Night phase; this means that their Night actions, if they have one, will be nullified.
D. Power Boost: This spell casts increases the value of a player’s vote on the Day phase after it is used.
You may use two spells during the Night, if you are not performing a kill. You may only use each one once, however.

Your partner in crime is Bowser: Bubbz. You may contact this player privately.

Quote:

Bubbz, you are Bowser, the head of the Mafia, and Mario’s kidnapper.

You are Mafia, and as such are aiming to ensure that Mario’s friends are killed before they defeat you and Kammy.

Each Night, either you or Kammy will kill one player. Submit the name of the player you would like to kill, and who will be killing the chosen player, during each Night phase.
Once per game, if you are the one killing, you may choose to give your ability piercing power. That is, the kill will break through all forms of protection. Let me know if you are using this one-time ability when you send your action to me.
You partner in crime is Kammy Koopa: Traveling Cat. You may contact this player privately.

Dang. I almost went for Tcat too. >.>

Oh well. Good game to all.

traveling cat · **Posted:** Fri Jul 10, 2009 4:30 pm

Thanks for not killing me?

Sprite, can we get a list of night actions performed?

Ɗř. Šḣɍíηē · **Posted:** Fri Jul 10, 2009 6:35 pm

I would love to!
Unfortunately, I can't do that. I have the actions saved on my mom's lappy, that I cannot access at the moment.

Actually, I have most commited to memory. LOL:

Night 1:
Bubbz, Regis, and Riddle all targeted Dacid, and were all cursed; had their Night actions scrambled for the next Night.
"Bow cursed under her breath."
"A little critter was also nosing around, but unfortunately it had just missed the battle that had occurred just moments before. It, however, and a few other creatures, for some unexplainable reason, each felt a jolt of strange, violent pain, as if a needle had been thrust thought them briefly…"

Riddle drew an inconclusive because of Dacid's role.

Regis drew a blank, because Dacid doesn't target anyone.

Nehme protected Bubbz.
"As the figures attacked, she attempted to unleash more strikes at the enemy, but found the attacks all bouncing off, just as before! What was this force causing the attacks to be so ineffective? This never had happened before…"

Obachuka used his ability on himself, but no one targeted him, so it was wasted.
"The dark figures trotted staggeringly across the dark field unto the horizon, silhouetted not by the invisible moon, but by an especially bright light coming from a small house they passed by."

Bubbz pierce-kills Dacid.

Night 2:
Bubbz' attack landed on Regis.

Riddle detected TCat, but she cast Dodge...
""No, I don't think you will, Sweetie," a voice said, from behind her.
"Why not?" Mrs. Mowz said, turning. "Huh? I could have sworn I just heard-"
"Oh, yes, here, is this better?"
Mrs. Mowz's eyes widened in surprise, as she realized who had been behind her. "You!""

So he drew another inconclusive.
"Meanwhile, another old friend of Mario was mulling about, as well, also searching for clues. This friend walked across the town thirty-three times, throughout the entire night, attempting to find a certain person, whom it believed had possible clues to Mario's kidnapping.
Suddenly, the creature began to run. It swore that it had seen a glimpse of the creature it needed to speak to- wait, no, there was nothing there. Odd."

Nehme protected Riddle.

Day 2:
Laughie sent messages to both TCat and Betagold, signed from the other. I think he PM'd Riddle also. And he left stationary with Betagold, which Beta used to PM Riddle as he was about to be lynched.
So he only had one left!
"The critter reached for its pad of stationary, but alas, it was gone! Only a piece of cardboard was left on it.
"Oh, no! I don't have anymore! Panic! Wait- could it be?!?! Yes!"
The critter leapt in joy as he dived out the window, barely catching the last remaining piece of stationary in its home."

Night 3:
Bubbz attacks Nehme, but he protects himself... it would have ended right there if he hadn't done that.
"Perhaps they left a tad too soon, though; for no less, and no more, than a minute later, the Life Shroom took effect. It's glowing, pink heart aura engulfed the former ally to Mario, and restored every broken bone, and all other injuries, too, except for the mental kind."

Riddle detects TCat again, getting a mafia read, but he's silenced.
"Okay, here's the deal." The mystery one told the other. "I'll let you go, with nothing but a 'warning,' and you promise to never snoop around here again…We clear?"

Bubbz is given a double-vote.
"Oh, yes, I know. Would you like me to power you up? It's different than yours was, however…."
"Oh, sure. Will it ensure the death of my target?"
"No, but it could help in killing someone later… As for tonight's target, you'll just have to hope he's not protected or anything."

And after Nehm is lynched, the only possible way to win was for the Mafia to target Stephen while he bombed a Mafia; neither of those happened. The game ended with all Innocents dead, in fact. <_<

Riddle · **Posted:** Fri Jul 10, 2009 9:01 pm

I had a feeling "Inconclusive" meant Townie after getting it twice.

And yes, that's why I was so pissed that I got silenced when I finally found a wolf.

"Riddle, Regis, and Riddle" ? You said Riddle twice..

I thought Riddle was the mafia the whole time ahaha XD I didn't really follow much after I died though.. but yeah.. I still thought Riddle was mafia..

Serves you right. You spilled your role (and plans for the night) before you had any ammunition. Same with Dacid. XD

Hahahaha I laughed so hard when I saw his post. I was like well it settles it. I know who to kill. And Dacid said well I won't have to worry about these wolves since I am armor. They cant touch me. And when he got killed his first post was like.....Damn. I lol'd

Kikyo · **Posted:** Sat Jul 11, 2009 7:42 pm

Yes, that was extremely well played, Mafia.
Congrats to Bubbz and Traveling Cat for a perfect game!
Whoo, yay! *clapclap*

Bloody...The two people that I was never suspicious of in my posts.

I'd play actively if you started a new one..

Unless there's literally nothing I want to say. XD
