Topic: Mafia on a Boat! (Read 69513 times)

The year is 1925. A certain Alcohol trafficker threw a masquerade on his yacht off the coast of California, and people of considerable wealth from all over the world came to be there... For varying reasons. The host was shot in the ballroom late one night by a mafia hitman, and as a precautionary measure, the security guards locked up all the passenger wings. Your characters are currently stuck there, and will be stuck there until the boat reaches the shore. Might as well make the best of your time here... And kill the mafia before they kill you.

The metaphorically bear of a man, Parma Shawn, practically snarls at the group in a posh tone of voice.

"My my my, it looks like someone has just been murdered! And not just some random poor lowerclassman whose purpose was equivalent to the steak I ate during the lovely dinner, to satiate me, but our host! How simply astonishing!"

Sonemine · « **Reply #2 on:** November 23, 2014, 11:51:36 am »

Zack O. Potatoes leans forward in his chair and speaks up. “Indeed, Parma. Only a detested parasite could betray our host’s hospitality and do something like this.” He pauses, then looks around at the other guests. “The killer could be in our midst. Are we really any safer locked up in here without the guards?”

"I should say not," Don Apparel, A balding 40 year old man with loud red suspenders and a well-kempt beard says, as he draws heavily from his cigarette on a long extender. "If the killer is still here in the room with us, that is..."

Lisa Newcarr shivers and pulls her silk scarf more snugly around herself, but her bright blue eyes look lifeless and resigned as she says sadly, "The most well guarded man on board has been assassinated. Our chances of getting off the ship alive look pretty bleak unless we stay calm and work together."

Riley trembles, her brilliant necklace of diamond and sapphire scintillating in the light. "I'm scared," she whispers. "What can we do against a killer?"

Not Aman · « **Reply #6 on:** November 23, 2014, 02:27:25 pm »

"There are but two option, my dear. We could wait, and hope the mafioso decides against killing again, or WE COULD BRUTALLY MURDER RANDOM PEOPLE VIA LYNCHING, ahem, rather, we must attempt to discover the identity of the villain, and eliminate him with the power of the many!" Parma states, sophisticatedly.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2014, 02:57:34 pm »

"Hear Here, my good man," Don agrees. "Or is it 'here hear'?..."

the_quiller · « **Reply #8 on:** November 23, 2014, 03:20:25 pm »

"That is an risky course of action," Lisa replies flatly with little inflection in her tone of voice. "If the culprits are among us, they will use this to sow distrust and murder more innocents. You are correct that this may be our only defense, but random lynchings are more likely to be counterproductive. We need a logical plan to trap the true culprits, or force them into non-action."

Sethaniel · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2014, 03:29:10 pm »

Riley moves closer to Parma. "I don't know if it's your rugged, manly confidence, or your luxurious mustache, but I feel like I can trust you."

She looks at Lisa with thinly veiled dislike.

Not Aman · « **Reply #10 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:59:40 pm »

Parma Shawn simply states
"MUSTACHE" with the ferocity of a wild animal and the sophistication of a gentleman.

"However, I detest the ideals of the ever growing idealistic youth gathering movements. Time is but wasted once, just like the steak I had ordered rare, but came well done."

" I ORDERED MY MEAT RARE DAMN YOU." The man then shouts out in anger.

"Ahem, but yes, as I was saying, we must decisfully decide on a sophisticated methodlogy to dispose of those of us whom are placed under scrutiny. We must, while my heart longs for the dictatorship, allow for a vote of the many."

"I'm sure it's all just a plot to capture me and extort my family for our wealth." Gary states offhandedly as he checks his golden pocket watch.

He pauses for a moment to look at Riley.
"I must say, that is a most beautiful necklace you have Miss Riley..." He gives a charming smile and a wink at her direction.

"Oh yes, most esquisite. THIEF." The man states, as he draws a magical symbol in the air.

"Thief? What are you talking about? I'm already rich why would I steal from you?" Gary asks in a surprised voice as he ducks behind the chair he was sitting in.

"Somebody help me stop this madman!" He yells to the other passengers.

"If anything, his evil magic proves that we must stop him before it's too late!" Gary says as he continues to hide behind the chair.

Sethaniel · « **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2014, 07:10:06 pm »

"Parma, Greg?" says Riley thoughtfully. "I'll side with whichever of you proposes to me."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2014, 08:33:54 pm »

Don Apparel slumps down in a chair, visibly shaken and places a new cig in his long extender. When he hears Riley suggest a proposal, he quickly recovers.

"Hey toots," he says, completely forgetting about the lynching business, "if you want someone with class, you can't do better than me!"

Sethaniel · « **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2014, 08:39:08 pm »

"Are you proposing to me?" says Riley.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #20 on:** November 24, 2014, 08:48:15 pm »

"Sure, why not?" Don replies with a grin. "We can set a date after we get to know each other a little better."

Sethaniel · « **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:00:37 pm »

Riley throws her arms around him. "Oh, darling, you've made me the happiest woman in the world!"

Her expression turns serious. "I have something to confess, beloved. I know the true identity of one of the other guests. Gary is none other than. . . my brother Jim Katz!

And. . . I know he's trying to steal my fortune. So maybe we should lynch him! But. . . If he's my brother, can he really be a mafioso?"

"Erm, if the name don't fit, we must aquit?" Parma Shawn states.

Lisa blinks mechanically at Riley once, her expression slightly confused, "Your actions are illogical. You have chosen to ignore suspicious behavior in favor of unfounded opinion. Conclusion: less suspicious than manipulative marriage proposal. Low threat, merely unwise."

The tension in the air is palpable, so palpable, in fact, that one could cut it out of the air with a butter knife. In fact, the boat's inhabitants are now covered with a thick, wet layer of tension as it condenses out of the air from the temperature difference caused by weird sea-air physics. Who will be killed today, if anyone?

"Oh dear," Don says thoughtfully, "I simply can't suggest a lynching for my future brother-in-law, scurrilous scoundrel or not..."

Then looking at Riley, he whispers, "You have broken the spell."

"Hmph. we must understand that the only reason Mr. Katz, was it? Is still alive, is due to his relationship to whatshername Katz. But... Didn't she ask that Katz to propose to the other Katz? This seems most peculiar. Most peculiar indeedly."

"It is clear that Parma Shawn is mafia. He's spoken of nothing but violence and death upon us all," says Zack. He turns to Parma. "Thou art more deep damned than Prince Lucifer, for we shall lynch thee before the clock strikes midnight!" he proclaims, his whole demeanour giving off contempt for the man.

"Your argument is valid," Lisa intones in response to Zack's words. "Levels of suspicion: Don Apparel - marriage proposal in exchange for lynch vote - high. Parma Shawn - strange attempts at occult and homicidal leanings - high. Gary Dose - possible alias and inheritance squabble - medium. Riley Mup - illogical decision making and irresponsible voting - medium. Other - undecided, insufficient information."

"Targets proposed for immediate removal - Don Apparell, Parma Shawn. Accounting for majority vote mechanics. Calculating...reverting vote to Parma Shawn."

The accusations become too much for Parma, and, after a brief, thought and reason-filled pause, he slaps Zack/Sonemine in the face.

Zack falls to the ground, bleeding and screaming, for some odd reason. Closer inspection reveals that this is because Parma has claws, and an arm as tough as any tree trunk. Parma, tired of standing on two legs, lets himself fall forward onto his forelegs and crush Zack's ribcage into smithereens. Parma Shawn was a grizzly bear wearing a hat and a fake mustache this whole time!? Wow, who knew!?

The group hastily ties the bear down to a stake at the corner of the room, and barely manages to take Zack's torn-off arm out of its mouth.

Closer inspection of Zack's room reveals:

Zack's real name was Olaf Romanov. He was a mafioso, and a shameless fish-thief!

"Wow, I'm glad I didn't marry him (or my brother,)" says Riley.

"But seriously, lets kill the robot! She agreed with zach, said his conclusions were logical, and he was mafia!!"

"Ha ha! I knew it!" Parma Shawn shouts out in glory.

"NOW LET ME OUT OF THIS FARKING CAGE OR I WILL BEAT YOU ALL TO THE GROUND. I mean, I will pleasantly treat you to a lovely discourse about animal cruelty."

Arthesul · « **Reply #35 on:** November 25, 2014, 12:55:57 pm »

Oh, dammitdammitdammit... Major miscalculation on my part. Sorry, Quiller.

In a burst of Mob fury, the group shoves Parma Shawn out of a Porthole, for some odd reason. The vote seemed to be going in Lisa's direction until this point... Because bears do not swim for long distances, it is safe to assume that Parma will die...

Parma Shawn was a Bear, his real name was Marko Behrkofski. And he was Town.

Before she goes to bed, Riley sits down to write her last will and testament.

If I am found dead:
Don: The three hours and fifty-four minutes I spent engaged to you were the happiest of my life. Thank you for making my wish come true.
Gary/Jim: Even though you are my brother, and probably planning to murder me for my fortune, you seem like a really nice guy. It's a shame it had to turn out this way. I would have shared the money with you.
Parma: I know you're not really dead. Bears can swim. I wouldn't have regretted marrying you.
Lisa: You bitch.
Love, Riley

That wasn't me. If it was, it wasn't on purpose. Until then, I blame the Stealth Locker.

I was apologizing to Quiller because Zack's murder and subsequent loss of vote meant that Quiller would have been lynched, and Quiller was lynched up until I changed it... I remembered that one of the people voting had a special ability. Their votes are worth two, because they can influence the subconscious.

Day 2

The group wakes up the next morning, and once the head-counting begins, they may notice someone might just be missing...

Garroted to death in her own bed was the joyful, blushing bride-to-be! Almost as if jinxed...

"My... sister is dead? Well, that is quite unpleasant. I'll make sure she gets a good funeral when we get off this boat."
Jim bows his head in mourning for a moment before turning to Lisa.

"So, would you like to marry me?"

the_quiller · « **Reply #44 on:** November 25, 2014, 09:59:07 pm »

Lisa's eyes widen slightly - just an infinitesimal fraction of an inch, small enough to be just a trick of the light - but it's the first sign of emotion she's shown so far.

"I...do not understand. I am not..." She trails off, and though her expression and tone of voice do not change, she tugs up her scarf and gives off the distinct impression of being flustered. Only after a long pause does she almost bashfully tug the scarf back down.

"You are not unattractive," she intones slowly. "Nor do I believe you suspicious or callous enough to be your sister's murderer. If we survive this ordeal, I would not be...adverse to the idea."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #45 on:** November 26, 2014, 10:06:10 am »

"WHAT?!?" Don blusters in disbelief - "You are asking the one who obviously killed your sister to marry you?!?"

"She's cold. She's calculating. She's the evil Spock with boobs instead of a goatee!"

"...Unless you killed her for the family fortune you cad!"

the_quiller · « **Reply #46 on:** November 26, 2014, 11:21:48 am »

Lisa tilts her head slightly, saying, "Calculating most likely scenario. Benefits of killing Jane Katz for Gary/Jim - greatly increased suspicion and emotional compromise. Benefits of killing Jane Katz for myself - greatly increased suspicion. Benefits of killing Jane Katz for Don Apparel - decreased suspicion and ability to frame both remaining people. The one who benefits the most from Jane Katz's death is Don Apparel. Percentages of being mafia - Jim Katz, 11%. Lisa Newcarr, 29%. Don Apparel 60%. Proposing elimination of Don Apparel."
