[Basic] Can't We All Just Get Along? - a Mafia event by Despothera - Game Over

[hazelkrs1]

Despothera let out a giant yawn and stretched. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he slowly peeled back the covers and slipped his pink bunny slippers on. Slapping on a big 'ol grin, he looked at himself in one of the many mirrors lying around his bedroom, and repeated his daily mantra:

 

"Despo, you're good enough. You're smart enough. And gosh darn it, people like you!"

 

 

And with that, he started his daily routine, playing his favorite song while he got ready for the day-

And then, without warning, it all came to a crashing halt. Suddenly, the brightness had gone away. Despo saw no rainbows, he felt no sunshine. He tasted lollipops, but it was toffee or some brown crap, it smelled bad whatever it was. Why was he feeling this sudden lack of joy? What had inspired this latest malaise?
 
It didn't take long before Despo was able to figure out what was wrong- it was mafia. Specifically, DM mafia. It just seemed like, lately everyone always had to be such meanyheads! And him too! Why did he always have to be such a big fat meanyhead??? He knew the last thing he ever wanted to do in this world was hurt anyone's feelings, so why couldn't he, and everyone else, be more civilized during this lovely game of mafia?
 
Suddenly gritting his teeth and stepping forward boldly, Despo shouted out:
 
"Can't we all just get along?!"
 
And with that, he knew there was nothing left to do but kidnap as many DM regulars as he could without setting off too many alarms, and promptly sat them all together in a giant room with strong fluorescent light and a single steel chair in the middle of the room, surrounded by a large number of beanbags for the guests to enjoy. And with that, Despothera laid out the rules, while a few select individuals shared discrete, knowing glances with one another...

 
(pay CLOSE ATTENTION as there are some variations on the voting format you might not be used to!)
 
1. We will be playing a CIVILIZED round of mafia this game. That doesn't mean aggressive playstyles will be frowned upon in the slightest. It merely means the mod will be happy if everyone couples their suspicions and accusations with JUST as many hugs 'n high fives to offset the meanytalk. And if the mod is happy, the game shall be fun for everyone!
 
If the mod is NOT happy, he might punish those who make him not happy...
 
2. Going along with this theme, we shall be instituting a new voting format. Instead of voting whom to lynch, we shall be voting whom to... tickle. As such, when you wish to vote someone, you must Tickle them. And yes, you must Italicize and Underline "tickle" (so an example would be if someone wanted to vote me, they would post "Tickle Despothera... ". As an added bonus for the mod, it would be greatly appreciated if you can make the vote stand out even MOAR by adding a smiley after the vote. The code for the italics and underlined, as well as the smiley, for mobile users is right here:
 

[i][u]Tickle _______[/u][/i]   

 
3. It's still a hammer game, but don't worry about un-"tickling" before "tickling" someone new.
 
4. Please refrain from using any tactics that might be against the spirit of the game, such as role pm matching, screen-capping messages from the mod, lying about real life situations, or implying lies about rl situation. If you have any question regarding a tactic and whether it might be against the spirit of the game or not, please feel free to pm me.
 
5. You are your character, so yeah character claims won't mean diddly here hehe.
 
6. Except for the first Day, Day Phases will last 48 hours, and Night Phases will last 24 hours. If a deadline falls on a weekend, I will grant a 24 hour reprieve.

7. If no majority is reached before deadline, I will randomly Modtickle a player and will not give a coroner report. If this happens more than once, the consequences may grow more severe...

8. Do not discuss the game except on a designated QT or the game thread.

9. Self-tickle votes and No Tickle votes are allowed.

10. One "Bah" post is allowed, and that's it! No game related info of any kind can be contained in this post, really the only thing I'm cool with is something along the lines of "Bah. Go Team X". Breaking this rule will carry severe consequences for your team (yeah, just go ahead and expect a Modtickle).

11. There is one wrinkle to this game besides the voting format btw- there will be another distinct vote during the night, which will be done in secret through your role pm. For that one, you must hug the person you wish to vote for. I will not say whether this will result in something good or bad for the person who gets the most "hugs" in the night. Don't worry about the formatting, just say you hug ________.

12. Bring your "A" game.

13. Have fun. Seriously, that's an order.

14. Q-Bert.



Sample vanilla town role pm:

You are vanilla town. You win when all threats to the town have been eliminated.

Sample scum pm:

You are teh mafia. You win when your team equals or outnumbers the town.

Scenes from phase changes:

 

 

End of Day 1-

 

 

 

Despothera watched as the group nervously started questioning one another, trying to find out if anyone knew what the hell was going on. They all started in relatively good spirits for a group of people that had been recently kidnapped and forced to tickle one another. It was probably the way Despot had stocked the room with an inordinate amount of cat posters and motivational messages on the wall, as well as the stress balls that he had provided. There was one point where everyone tried pelting him with the stress balls when he delivered their boxed lunches, but the stern words and strictly enforced timeouts helped take care of those nasty attitudes.

 

Soon enough the gameplay resumed, and wouldn't you know it, Cloud was getting a lot of tickle attention day 1. It just seemed like he loved being the center of attention! Sure enough he did his trademark move of claiming a protective role of some kind before others rushed in and kept tickling him. He collected his breath in giant gasps in between laughs, and winked a few times at people as he even started tickling himself. This made others back off somewhat, unsure of how to act around such unusual behavior (I mean, I think it's impossible to tickle yourself... right?)

 

Suddenly the clock on the wall started sounding, and the group knew the time Despothera had set for them had passed. They looked nervously around at each other for a bit, until one went to the window and looked towards the office Despot sat in. He seemed to be distracted, watching something on TV, and every little bit he would either jump up and start prancing around like a fool, or else start screaming at the TV in pained supplication. The group realized they should make use of the fact that their unstable mod was distracted, and act like they hadn't missed the deadline at all. A couple of people jumped back in and started tickling Cloud again, and once again he was in fits.

 

Andrej used this opportunity to pick up a feather on the wall and launch forward with it, darting in and out at every one of Cloud's weak spots. Cloud was gasping now and begging for everyone to stop, but the ticklefrenzy was on them, there was no stopping now.

 

"You-- BAHAHAHA---- have- SNORTLE SNORTLE --- to --- GASP --- STOP! IMMAEXPLODE! BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

 

Cloud managed to yell out, but the others showed no signs of stopping. All of a sudden, someone shrieked from the crowd. Everyone suddenly pulled back from the steel chair where Cloud was sitting, and there sat Cloud, not moving, with a very abashed look on his face. His cheeks shone bright red, and the puddle beneath him shone bright yellow. Everyone sat unmoving, astonishment plain on their faces.

 

At that moment Despot opened the door into the room, and saw what had occured. He shook his head sadly, then motioned Cloud over. Cloud shuffled over on embarassed chicken wing steps, and fought bravely in his struggle to hold back his sniffles. Despot took Cloud out and closed and locked the door behind him, coming back in moments later.

 

"I have allowed Cloud to go home, after the torment you put upon him, and after he agreed to the bribe I gave him to not alert authorities too quickly. There should be some disinfectant spray and a towel in the cabinet over there, if someone could- yes, thank you. Okay then, well let's go ahead and get yall ready for naptime!"

 

There were some minor groans here and there, but once the host started passing around juiceboxes, everyone surprisingly went along with it and cozied up into their little cots. Despothera turned the lights off and started to close the door, but before he could someone asked him if Cloud was a good boy or a bad boy.

 

"Oh, yes. That. Hehe."

 

Cloud, vanilla town has been lynched.

 

 

End of Night 1-

 

 

 

As soon as the others had all snuggled deep into their merry sleep, a few select individuals got up for their mischievous nightly shenanigans. They slowly tiptoed around the room, careful not to disturb the other individuals that were still asleep. They finally arrived at their target for the night, and gathered around him as they snickered softly to one another. Pulling out their tools, they began to set to work.

 

One of them pulled out a big 'ol Sharpie and started drawing strange images and drawings all over the unknowing victim's face. He added whiskers, big bushy eyebrows, and even an evil looking little curly moustache! The next individual was applying generous amount of whipped cream to their target's hands, while the other used the same feather from earlier to tickle the soundly sleeping one till he had whipped cream all over himself (   )

 

Lastly they pulled out the piece of resistance, a big bowl of warm water. Barely able to stifle their laughter at this point, they quickly set the bowl in position and took their poor unsuspecting prey's hand, and set it in the water. Listening for that tell-tale trickle, they finally started running back towards their own bed, giggling the whole time.

 

Moments later, the lock on the door started jostling unlocked, and the door opened and Despothera flicked on the lights.

 

"Wakey wakey, eggs 'n bakey everyone! Time to wake up from your Nappytime! We have a big day ahead of us, so let's go ahead and--- Oh GAWD! What is that smell???"

 

As everyone started shifting from their covers, Nervositee finally opened his eyes. Or rather, eye. One eye couldn't open, because it was caked shut with cream. As he sat up in his cot, everyone started pointing and laughing at his funny little bunny face and whipped cream all over him. Vos unfortunately was not finished with his morning revelations. His eyes slowly moved down towards his bedding, which was soaked through and through, and he slowly began to peel the covers back.

 

His eyes (both of them this time) opened wide with agony as he peered underneath his sheet. There it was, plain as day, a giant yellow stain originating from his nethers. He was covered in his own urine.

 

The look on his face quieted the others, and with panicked anguish he looked up towards Despothera. Despot motioned him over, and he got up, pulling his bedding around him and pigeon-toeing it towards the doorway. Altho he felt sadder than he had in quite some time, he bravely bit his bottom lip to keep the waterworks from turning on (again). Despothera ushered him through the doorway, and closed it after him. The others looked around nervously, wondering who would have done such a cruel thing to their lovely friend.

 

Some time later Despothera returned, with a somber announcement.

 

Vos, Bodyguard, has been Night-Tickled.

 

---

 

The announcement had shaken everyone, as that individual had been meant to protect them later on, and keep them from getting similar treatment. Now there was nothing protecting them at night from the nasty pranksters. The pushpops Despot had handed out had done little to change their mood, even tho they were the Flintstones kind everybody loved. Finally Despothera realized just what could help cheer some of them up as they began their new day.

 

"I have another announcement everyone. There was one person who got more hugs in the middle of the night than anyone else, and I would now like to announce that individual. Darthe, would you step forward please?"

 

Darthe was off in the corner fiddling around with himself so didn't notice at first, but after a couple pokes and hurried whispers from others he slowly started to get up and shuffle forward, trepidation clear in his eyes. He finally got to the front where Despot was, and slowly turned around to look meekly at the others.

 

"Darthe, for being everyone's FAVORITE hugging target, I present you with your reward today: First, a big fluffy unicorn!"

 

 

"Next, a beautiful princess hat for you... well okay, I figured it would be a female that would get the most hugs. Go figure. Here you go anyways."

 

Ignoring the   look on Darthe's face, Despot handed him the hat to wear.

 

 

"Hey, it's purple, that's gender neutral... right? Okay well anyways I'll let yall get back to your business again. Play nice, and I'll be back later with your stickers!"

 

With that, Despothera strode out of the room, leaving Darthe behind with his princess hat on and big fluffy unicorn rumpled on the floor beside him. Everyone looked around for a bit before shrugging and starting to think of who they should tickle next.

 

 

 

 

End of Day 2:

 

 

Theodora tried her best to bat everyone's hands away from her. She started receiving tickle attention almost immediately after everyone had their snacktime, and hadn't been able to get off the tickle seat since. Frenzied tears streamed down her cheek as she giggled seemingly nonstop. She finally was able to get everyone to stop for a moment as she drew in deep gasps of air to steady herself. Everyone waited around her with baited anticipation as she collected herself for one final defense.

 

"I promise you guys! I would never prank you like that! I mean look at me, does this look like the face of a prankster?"

 

With that Theodora started preening and did a duck face. Everyone stood back, looking dumbfounded. Finally a little ewok came out from behind the group and jumped in and started tickling Theo, and everyone joined in once again. It wasn't long before she was once again in fits of laughter, trying in vain to keep her tickle attackers away. She even snortled a few times, as finally someone drew forth the feather from it's perch on the wall.

 

Xthrax held the feather as if he didn't understand the power within it. Rushing in to join the fray, he started darting the feather around, tickling Theodora with it in several of her ticklish spots. Her eyes shot open in response, and this time her laughs were accompanied with screams, but try as she might she was unable to wrestle out of the chair.

 

The door opened to the room as the feather did its "work", and before Despothera could make any kind of announcement, Theodora shot past him in a blur, leaving the smallest of puddles in her wake. Mortally embarassed as she was, she still fought to maintain at least SOME dignity and held her tears back upon her departure from the others.

 

Everyone was still chuckling at both the hilarity of the situation as well as the surprised look on the mod's face. As his face grew slightly stern again, they hushed to a whisper.

 

"Go ahead and get that cleaned up guys. And really, yall should just be ashamed! Go ahead and get tuckered for bed after you clean the mess up, no bedtime story tonight."

 

Theodora, vanilla town, has been tickled.

Ninja'd by Mish but I'm a BAWSH so I edit my VC anyways

[Darthe]

Her hair is so pretty, it makes her eyes really shine out.  Even when it was cut short it wasn't at all strawlike, though I think I would prefer if she would cut it into a bob and perhaps get some lowlights in the undersections to add depth to the body in it.  Anyways, it looked good.

[Leelou]

Well we'll just wait for someone to get here. Hey Leelou!

Um hi *waves*
