FG:Mafia 37, RoS: the Death of JarJar

[duke o' york]

It'd be nice to have such an excuse. (Well, apart from all the work keeping morons in line) Sadly, I end up offed early because of my username, and the position it inevitably gives me in the cast. Damned CPA!

But the fact that you're an evil character no doubt helped too. Ben's not dumb, and he'll have made the Mafia those you wouldn't suspect on the basis of the characters they play. However, because the mob will vote for evil characters first, then that will reduce the field, allow the mafia to survive, and give them a better chance of winning.

/me hands Ben a cross to shorten the wait.

/me is very disappointed in Ben's lack of use of his Force powers....

They only work on the feeble minded.

With the evidence on hand, of the treachery of Chancellor Palpatine, I met with Master Yoda, and asked how we should proceed. Master Yoda insisted that we execute him now, since we have him under our confines, and that he will not expect to be exposed. If you can convince the remaining council that Chancellor Palpatine is the master behind all of this, then there should be no troubles. Provided that the meeting is held in secret, and that no one inform him of the proceedings. The difficulty in this step lay in Anakin. As the representative for Palpatine, and the fact that he has turned to the dark side of the force makes him very dangerous indeed. I shall have to ask Mace Windu to confine him after the vote against Palpatine, so that we can prevent him from informing Palpatine.

After the plan had been carefully worked out, the council met again in secret. I found the irony bitter, that whereas I had been opposed to convicting someone without evidence, that I was now using the same body to convict someone with conclusive evidence, in using the bad to good ends. Thankfully most of the council agreed with me that the largest threat was Palpatine. Anakin sat in the chamber, wary of exposing his own position after he understood that I had indeed known of the details in his meetings with Palpatine. The council voted for Palpatine the first not under the explicit custody of the Council to be executed. Thankfully, Anakin's desire to protect himself superceded his desire to intervene on Palpatine's behalf, and Master Windu skillfully distracted him as the Council arrested Palpatine in force. He had no time to resist, genuinely shocked that the Council would have caught on to his devious schemes.

[Ben Kenobi]

Not willing to expose himself as a Sith Lord, I watched Anakin's response to my attack on Palpatine carefully. I continued to assign R4 to monitor him, so that I would not be caught unawares by any such attempt against me. However, as I pondered more, I came to the chilling thought, what if Palpatine, though a Sith Lord, had nothing to do with the other kills? I had no evidence other than circumstantial that he was one of the killers, and even if we have killed Palpatine, that meant that there would still be one killer at large. Looking over the evidence collated, if Palpatine were not the killer, then that meant at least one ally among us had killed his fellow Jedi, since Dooku could not be responsible for both kills. The blaster killer seemed unfamiliar and unskilled with blasters, which leads me to exonerate the senators, since Padme and Bail are both experienced blaster shots. The curious thing is that while the Jedi are skilled in saber use, they have no need for blasters.

The next morning, my meditations proved fruitful. Rather than being frantic, or harried by the news, I was not surprised in the least to find Anakin my own padawan, shot by a blaster through the shoulder. He had died slowly and painfully, with his saber off the holster. While he may have been caught by surprise, the killer did not bypass Anakin's use of the force entirely. The curious fact is that only two knew of his status besides myself as a Sith Lord, Master Windu and Yoda.

[Ben Kenobi]

Guynemer is dead, and you may now find his killer.

Apologies with the delay, but I did manage to work out my school.

[Kuciwalker]

Ben Kenobi made a mistake (possibly intentional). R4, or reismark, also knew of Anakin's confinement, and would probably be quite clumsy with a blaster. Also, Anakin might have noticed R4 following him around and been suspicious, therefore not being completely surprised.

[reismark]

You're kidding, right, Kuci? I'm not even the most powerful droid in this thing and I'm capable of killing the Jedi in the universe with the potential to be the most powerful ever with a single blaster shot? Sheeyah, right.

I'm sure that I've got what really happened on video, anyways, and Ben's just saving it for the next chapter.

As I said the last time, both of our killers have to be strong enough in the Force either to attack without detection but also to disrupt their victims' use of the Force, considering their victims. There are a number of candidates for that, but I need to think a while before settling on one...

[Kuciwalker]

Droids aren't detectable in the Force. All it would take is a quick blaster shot while his back is turned. Anakin's premonition my give him a split second warning, enough to grab his lightsaber but not enough to turn around and deflect it. However, he could have been partially turned around when it hit, leading the shot to burn his shoulder.

[Nikolai]

Kuci's right: These killings surely have the mark of reis!

[Guynemer]

NOOOOOOO!!!

Bloody ****ers, the lot of ya! No one listened to me, and now the murders continue! Bah. You short-sighted fools deserve your fate.

Now that I have been stricken down, I have become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!

That should be struck down
