Once and Never

Mafia

|| AAAAAAA This is my next lil thing in the one shots and I don't really know what I'm doing- I kinda like, really need prompts or requests, because I'm over here dying and trying to squeeze ideas out of my dry sponge brain. Anyways, here you go, I guess. ||

Thomas sat down, grinning from ear to ear. "Are you guys ready to play Mafia?" He asked, looking at his sides, sitting in a circle with him.

"Thomas, you haven't explained the rules of the game. You just called us randomly to play what you call Mafia." Logan, who was sitting across from Thomas, arched an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, the rules. Well, it's easy enough. We're a town of people, and we have to find the Mafia before they kill everyone else." Thomas took a breath, and was abruptly cut off by Patton.

"whAT! Kill everyone!" He screeched, waving his hands around in the air.

"Mh, Patton, it's just a game." Logan turned to look at him, pursing his lips.

"Uh... I'll be the narrator, which means I'll assign the roles and tell the story! The roles are Mafia, of course, but there's also gonna be a detective, who can see if people are the Mafia or not, and a doctor who can save people." Thomas continued.

"Wait, how can the doctor save people. How will they know who to save? What if they don't save the right person?" Virgil spoke up, pulling his hood up over his head.

"It's just luck! If they don't save the right person, well..." Thomas shrugged, leaving it off.

Patton shrieked again. "No! You have to save the right person!"

"pATTON. Calm down." Logan reprimanded him again. "Again, it's just a game."

"One last thing. The last role are the townspeople. They have the ability to vote people out, who they think are the Mafia." Thomas finally finished explaining.

"Uh, we don't have enough people." Virgil pointed out. "We'd only have one townsperson."

"Well, there's an easy fix to that! Remy! Picani!" Patton called cheerfully.

The two other characters showed up, adding into the circle, Remy holding a mocha.

"Hello ladiessss! What are we up to~"

Thomas explained the rules again for Remy and Picani.

"Are we ready to play?" He asked, biting back a 'finally'.

The sides all nodded.

"Great! So, I'll hand everyone a card, but don't show each other! It'll give you your role." Thomas handed out said cards.

Once everyone had read their role, they put the cards face-down on the ground.

"Uh, okay everyone, put your heads down and go to sleep." Thomas watched as the sides did so, Patton giggling and beginning to fake-snore.

Logan jabbed him with his elbow again.

"... Mafia, wake up." Thomas called, watching as Roman lifted his head.

"Who would you like to kill?" Thomas continued.

Roman looked around, eyes settling on Virgil, then he shook his head, realizing that the others would probably guess it was him if Virgil was the first to die. He looked around again, then pointed at Remy.

Thomas nodded his head. "Go to sleep... Detective wake up."

Patton lifted his head, his eyes glowing with excitement.

"Who would you like to investigate?"

Patton looked around, then pointed at Picani.

Thomas shook his head. "Go back to sleep. Doctor, wake up."
