The Stigma (by Koltin Scott)

Chap. IX

"In the game of Mafia, it's the villagers against the mob. Both sides are trying to kill the other, but you can't know who is a good guy or bad guy. It brings suspense and fun together because everyone is a suspect. The villagers must make accusations during the day to find the mafia, but can wrongly kill their own as well. The mafia can kill villagers during the night and it ends when either the mafia is killed during the day or the villagers during the night..."

–A few Basic Rules for Mafia (every game is different)

       I have been deep undercover for a few weeks now and most of the days was pretty uniform. We all would go to the galleria, the park, and Él Doug had somehow convinced me to a ride in a Ferrari that ended in a very unprepared and unpleasant police chase at speeds exceeding a hundred. Sunday's everyone went their separate ways. It was all normal until one Sunday evening.

       The group was laughing uncontrollably, (except those who never laugh uncontrollably, namely: Weyha, Alien, and AoDD) accusing each other and trading wisecracks. Those who weren't laughing were smiling or smirking as they spoke; which was a rarity. I couldn't help my curiosity,

        "What are y'all playing?"

        Sarah bounced up with her oversized Aggies shirt and said,

"Mafia!"

        Alien said with suspenders over a casual white tee under shirt, "It's very entertaining and satisfyingly stimulating."

        MasterLock said with sport short-shorts and a sleeveless, "Your vocabulary is absolutely ridiculous." I noticed that she's been saying that sort of stuff more and more as time went by.

       The Angel of Death and Doom (AoDD) was watching everyone in his normal attire. I commented,

       "Why isn't AoDD playing?"

       "Because," Él Doug said with a tight wife-beater and black sweat pants, "he can totally see when we're lying-"

        Sarah nearly screamed at me, "It's so FUN!"

       She reminded me there of the girl on Despicable Me who said 'It's so FLUFFY!'

        "Okay."

        "Good," the Baron said with a long sleeve over his pajamas and insulation, he always had worn long sleeves and the insulation. It somehow made him mysterious... in an attractive way, "we were just about to start another game."

          Weyha would always return to, as everyone joked, his "cave" at the end of the day; so I've never seen him in lounge around clothing. Just his biker pants under the hooded Eisenhower jacket with wolf-head patches everywhere a patch should be.

         Thread Walker was in short-shorts with a Cavender shirt tied in such a fashion as to expose her middle. Obsidian Owl was more of an opposite to her tacky friend. She had a suit shirt, unbuttoned, but with a perfectly "fine" tee under it over slacks. (I said "fine" because I don't know if she knew that her unders were showing... anyway.)

       The Baron explained to me the game,

       "This is an elimination game. Every turn there's night and day. There's two teams: the mafia and the villagers. The main advantage of the villagers is numbers but the mafia's been 'snuck in' per se. In the hat is what team you are on and let the battle of the words begin."

         They passed the hat around and Thread Walker had glanced at the card and smiled.

        "Ey," Él Doug piped up, "she saw the card, we gotta redraw."
