Re: Song Choice Mafia V: Enclosure in Shadow [D7]
The whole showroom stood silent. Through the Glass raised a gun and pointed it at Kidding Ourselves. He took a deep breath, and shut his eyes as his finger pulled down on the trigger. It was a clean headshot.
Soon the crowd had gathered round the fallen song’s body. A few seconds passed, each feeling like an eternity. Two of the black figures swept out from the darkness and claimed the dead song. The Shadows took off with the body, and were gone in an instant.
A chill swept through the showhouse that pierced the remaining songs right down to the bone. Unfurl descended. With him were more black figures, thirteen total. They smelled of the most horrifying scent imaginable. Yet they spoke not a word, and remained almost perfectly still. Unfurl took a deep breath, and with that sweetly sick voice of his, he began the announcement, “Well done. If you are among those left standing, you have truly proven your worth.”
“The mafia have all been slain. While I personally would have loved to see you all targeted one by one, there is something quite wonderful with what I have seen. Eram quod es, Eris quod sum. I was what you are, you will be what I am. You have all become murderers.”
A smile spread across the song’s face.
“You are no longer yourselves. You have been changed. You now belong to me. The Shadows have claimed you…”
One of the dark figures to Unfurl’s right moved forward, and turned to face the shadowy leader. “No,” said the voice, which was flat and lifeless, “I think you are mistaken.”
The other twelve Shadows removed the black hoods that covered their faces. The surviving songs gasped, as they saw the familiar figures. There was Jeremiah Blues, with a look of derision in her cold, dead eyes. There was Sim Sala Bim, standing tall and resolute, with Last Name clutching at his arm. The Gypsy Bard stood there as well, with a sad look on his pale face. Highly Strung looked over the faces of the living with unmistakable anger. The victors looked out and saw the faces of all twelve songs that had earlier perished. They were neither dead nor alive.
“The shadows are not claiming them, my dear…”
The Shadow who had been speaking slowly reached up to take off her hood. Everyone covered their eyes for a moment as the flames rose up and filled the dark house with light. A familiar face smiled at Unfurl with a look of sinister delight.
“They are reclaiming… you.”
She lurched forward, and gave the shadowy master a kiss. Unfurl screamed, as he felt pain surge through every nerve in his body. He fell to his knees, and then fell straight to the floor. After a few moments, the undead songs picked up his body, and carried him away.
The flaming mistress laughed as she faded into nothing.
MysticMoon is dead. She was Mafia. Town wins.

it comes to our attention -- with confirmation, mind! -- that a certain (remarkably, some might say, immature) subset of the players (and, one might think, all of us involved know who we are) find us so unbearable as to be worth seeking to corrupt the GM in such away as to arrange to have us killed immediately.
that is wrong; reprehensible, even. hatred is ... acceptable, one might say, under the circumstances. verbal rage, too, is acceptable. comparison to axis power leaders is ... patently ridiculous, actually, but humour is acceptable. what one does in one's own bubble need not be the business of those outside the bubble, so long as said bubble is constructed of material unlikely to burst under stress. but having the integrity of, ah, a "stupid online game thing" compromised? that is unjustifiable.
in the interest of avoiding drama in both the present and the future, let it suffice to establish that the attempt intentionally to ruin secretly a source of others' amusement most certainly places oneself in the category consisting of the sort of person with whom association requires more effort than that which from it one gains; and that if one wishes not to play in a game involving certain persons, it is sufficient not to play in games involving said persons. but, too, it might be noted that not optimising within the bounds of the rules merely indicates that one is not playing to full potential. it certainly does not make one a better role-player, per stormwind's monumental formulation.
and how so appallingly sloppy the attempt! for the future ... well, advice is available to those who seek it, in any case.
