MAFIA: Madame Broussard's Witchy Wares

I have edited the first post to explain the mechanics. Thank you to @POOPHEAD189 for allowing me to use their work.

MAFIA: Madame Broussard's Witchy Wares

@Baphomini Yes, those can both be items your character has. Anything in a set is counted as one item.

@AntiRpRP The items are for narrative purposes, not gameplay purposes, so they will not be used (unless it happens to be a manner of death for a lynching).

You can have more than 5 items if you want. I will edit to show this.

I just realized I didn’t put up the how—to-play that I thought I did. I will do that later because I’m trying to get to bed :P

MAFIA: Madame Broussard's Witchy Wares

@AntiRpRP Not an issue! I’ll help you through it if necessary, but it makes sense once it starts.

MAFIA: Madame Broussard's Witchy Wares

@Baphomini You can use either.

@Baphomini You are correct that it is not limited specifically to Fae folklore. The flavour is more modern urban fantasy, so you could absolutely be a selkie.

I apologize for the delay; I'm not usually this flakey.

MAFIA: Madame Broussard's Witchy Wares

It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies)—

but here is not the face of London that you know.

If one knows where to look, one can find a rather different world hiding behind the façade, full of magic and mystery. Where better to find magic and mystery but the Piccadilly Circus? There, underneath the twinkling neon lights that lace the sky, you must turn and walk the wrong way down Regent Street. Those who know how to look will find an alleyway that has no worldly name, for it does not exist on this mortal plane. Do not be fooled; you are not between the two brick buildings you walked past just a moment ago. (In fact, look up into the sky- where you should see the stars. There is only more brick.)

There are scattered shacks and storefronts here in the In-Between; our story begins in the bright yellow fairy tale cottage that lies at the end of the road.

Madame Broussard is a witch, and she runs a respectable establishment with the assistance of the fae sisters Maeve, Morgan, and Merlina. There are impossibly many rooms for the size of the cottage; the first has artifacts and curiosities, the second shelves beyond shelves of books, the third containing everything you might need to cast a spell. There are guest rooms in the back for whoever may need it.

While at work in the first room, Maeve was killed. Madame Broussard walked in to find a fae from another family working a spell to help cover it up; he has been dealt with, but the body tells her that he was not the only one involved.

Everyone in the shop at the time has been called to a back room. You will be seated, as if in a coffee shop.

“Things like this do not happen in my shop… not without the proper punishment. And until that happens, you’re all stuck here.”

Madame Broussard does not play games.

Participation

---

Read the rules before continuing.

This RP is a 7-player adaption of Mafia, except the flavor of killers and townsfolks have been flipped around. If you've never played this game before, you can learn more on this wiki.

This roleplay will be player-driven; you influence what happens, so communicate frequently. The game runs between three to six (OOC) weeks, and one IC post is required from each player per week.

After seven players have signed up, certain players at random receive secret roles. These roles are in the next section. Your role must remain a secret and will only be revealed if you die. Do not PM other participants (active or defeated).

Mechanics

---

Gameplay is divided in 2 phases:

The game starts in "Day" phase, which is the time for interaction. Throughout this phase, there will be an ongoing vote for who is believed to be the killer. At the end of Waking Phase, the character with more than half of all votes (ie. 4 votes out of 7 active players, 3 out of 5, etc.) will be lynched and their role revealed. Players can choose to abstain from voting and change or cancel their votes within the allotted time. Once both murderers are caught, the game is over and those remaining win. Otherwise, we continue into the next phase.

"Night" phase means silence. No IC posts are allowed during this phase. The GM will message everyone to determine their course of action for that night. This is the time for the antagonists to kill, and also for special roles to use their abilities. Roles will be given through PMs and results will only be returned once all actions are locked in.

Vote tally and the result of each phase will be tracked in OOC. Please specify your Daytime vote in IC (with hider), or OOC.

Roles

_{*All role actions are optional, which means you don't have use your ability if you're scared of being busted.}

Antagonists (Undercover police)

• Mole – The standard "bad guy"; eliminate one player each night
• Roleblocker – Block 1 player from their nighttime action; takes over for the goon if they are killed

^{*The antagonists can directly PM each other.}

Protagonists (Crogiolo Syndicate)

• "Citizen" x3 – No nighttime ability
• Investigator - Investigate 1 player each night, revealing their alignment (protagonist or antagonist; no result if blocked)
• Enforcer – Prevent 1 player from being eliminated at night; can't protect yourself

<Snipped quote by MafiaWiki>
Don't roleclaim. You may accuse another player. However, no one is allowed to show OOC proof of roles (role assignment PM and/or investigation results).
