Mafia 8 - The Sign of Death

[Nikolai]

Where are you, Frozzy?
*Tries to do his job, not succeeding because of the thought on the city council soon to be over

[Snowflake]

I heard that he doesn't have internet access somehow. I will ask what this is about and let you guys know if possible.

[Jamski]

Oh god, my life hangs on a thread. And on a thread.
And on a coin flip too, at this rate.

If Lady Luck smiles, then I blame the Goldfish.
If she frowns... well, people will still turn up dead in this town!

/me practices being a ghost *

-Jam

[CapitanGarlic]

Perhaps you should have used a bigger fish.

[Frozzy]

Wait... Jonny is playing! That damned Titans fan is the epitamy of all evil! Kill him!!!!!!

[Frozzy]

Oh... I vote Kassiopeia

[Spiffor]

Jamski is saved. And now, all our transvestites will have no access to fine clothes

[MattH]

How could you do that? The mafia is going free!

[GhengisFarb™]

Apparently a single goldfish is as powerful as a flock of sheep.

/me thinks of all the poor innocent sheep that died for one measly goldfish.

[Kassiopeia]

Jonny sentenced me to death the moment he voted me, Frozzy always votes me given the chance. You will have a rude awakening to a morning in a village where the Mafias roam free, and yet another one of your innocent peers has been executed. Tragic. Should Jamski turn out to be the, err, a Mafia, there'll be no end to your shame.

Kassiopeia heard the doorbell just as he was fitting a new suit for one of his clients. He asked the man to wait for a second while he checks out who it might be. But as soon as the tailor stepped out into the front part of the shop, someone grabbed him from behind, tied his hands behind his back and gagged him. Kassiopeia couldn't make a single sound before he found himself being carried out the front door by a couple strong men.

Kassiopeia was brought to the town square, where a podium of sorts was already set up, and the crowd had already gathered. On top of the podium was a slab of wood about knee-high, and right next to it stood a man with a large axe, and wearing a mask to conceal his face. Kassiopeia was untied and dragged on top of the podium. There, he was put on his knees in front of the slab, and his hands were chained to the rings on the floor. One of the men that dragged the tailor up there pushed his head onto the slab and whispered in his ear: "Better not wiggle. It will be the worse for you."

The crowd watched on in silence. One could hear the executioners heavy breath. The man lifted his axe above his head and froze in that position, reluctant to bring it down. Finally, he gathered the courage and sucked air in in the breath before the blow. Feeling that the death is near, Kassiopeia jerked and screamed: "But I am inno..." The axe came down. As the tailor jerked out of position, the axe didn't find its mark and hit the man on the shoulder. A scream flew through the air, sending cold sweat down the villagers' backs. The executioner stood there, unsure what to do. His hands were trembling, and he let go of the axe's handle. The blade was still embedded in Kassiopeia's body.

Inspector Hercules rushed up on the podium swearing loudly. He pushed the executioner so hard that the man tripped and fell flat on his back. Than the policeman turned around, pulled his gun out of the holster, and put the tailor out of his misery. Hercules sighed and swiped the sweat off his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt. He turned around to see the executioner. The man sat up, and was pulling the mask off his face. It was alva. He was sobbing, and his face was twisted by fear, tears and distress.

"Well, I guess we'll never make him do that again," - said Hercules, as if to himself, scratching his unshaven chin. Inspector then turned around to the crowd, waved his hands, and said: "Move along now. Nothing more to see here."

The man in the back of Kassiopeia's shop was still standing, in the half-done suit, held together by pins.

[Hercules]

Well maybe that's put and end to the killings in the village.

in an aside to the council/police secretary " Would you order about seven coffins, just in case"

Damn this Inspector's uniform is never going to get mended, never mind a getting a new suit.

I think I'll have a longer talk with Rah and SKanky. I'm missing something here.

[Hercules]

Boy!, that Alva was a bit of a jelly. As an executioner - it is quite hard to miss a neck -I wonder was there a bit of a relationship going on (now ended).

[Nikolai]

Hey! Be quiet down there! I am trying to sleep!
*Nikolai grumbles over the noise, and thinks on all the work that has to be done with cutting trees tomorrow...
