Trapped in Taormina [Concluded]
Taormina - Sicily.
The little mouse never knew what hit her. She was still enjoying a small piece of cheese she had found in a heap of rubble, when the claws hit her. The cat didn't feel like playing with the mouse and immediately ate it.
"Ah, the cruelty of nature", René said to his fiancee, Juliette, watching the little drama at the other end of the street.
It was hot that day in Taormina. Terasses were packed with tourists, eating gelatto, granite or drinking ice cold soda drinks.
"My granite is melting faster then I can eat it", Juliette said, sweat dripping from her forehead. She looked up to smile at her fiancee. She loved him and he still looked as gorgeous as the first time they met, in Paris.
"You still remember Paris, bijou?", she asked, her hart melting like her granite when she stared at his face. Accidentally, she dropped her handkerchief. She bowed quickly to grab it, laughing at ther own clumsiness.
René didn't answer. Juliette noticed the blood dripping. When she looked up, she saw René, with an amazed look on his face. The bullet between his eyes had almost instantly ended his life. He fell forward and his head bounced on the table.
Juliette's scream went unnoticed in the panic that broke loose. At the same time, the earth started to tremble and the howling screams of the people around her got lost in the overwhelming sound of the eruption of Mount Etna .
***
The surviving villagers and toursits gathered at the Theatro Grecco.
Pino di Luca stared at the remaining people of Taormina. He was amazed by the fact that half the town was in ruins, while the ancien theatre still looked like nothing happened.
"Ladies and gentlemen", Pino said, with a trembling voice. "As the last remaining official of the Taormina Carabinieri, it is my duty to tell you about what has happened. The eruption of Mount Etna cut us off from civilisation. Help is on it's way, but it may take weeks before they reach us. I have to ask you all to stay calm. We have plenty of supplies left. Some parts of the town are still in good shape, so there should be shelter for all of you. Please don't panic and go to sleep now."
***
Manfredo was standing in the crowd, looking at the blond hair of Juliette. Damned eruption! He was so close. The job was almost finished. Oh well, the Carabinieri said that there would be several weeks, plenty of time to find Juliette and kill her, without witnesses.
***
Gianluca was frustrated. The whole operation was ruined. There was no way to get the stuff to his boss now, unless... He shivered. He was a criminal and had committed alot of crimes in his life. But the thought of having to kill every single one of the surviving villagers and tourists didn't make him happy. He looked at his partner. Luciano shrugged. He didn't seem to care. "Damn, that guy is cold as ice", Gianluca thought and he felt even worse.
***
Taketsi was pleased by his good fortune. This would make his work easier. He already knew where the stuff of the Carelli family was hidden. Now all he had to do was killing the Carelli's, take care of the pathetic villagers and tourists and leave with the bomb. His yakuza boss would be very pleased and maybe he would be made oyabun.
***
Juliette was still mourning the death of her fiancee. He wasn't supposed to die! That bullet was meant for her. The falling handkerchief saved her life, but she was the one who should have been dead now.
"Revenge will be mine!"
***
The man wearing a black cloak, standing at the opposite side of the theatre watched the group of people. He grinned.

Welcome to "Trapped in Taormina"!
Rules:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Roles :
- Manfredo : a hired assasin. His job was to kill Juliette. He accidentally hit her fiancee. He is allowed to investigate 3 players each night. These results are only useful for his own victory condition though. He won't get clues about a player's innocence. He investigates to discover Juliette. So he will only get results like "nope" or "yes, you found her!". He must kill Juliette and survive the game. However, he still has more then one bullet left in his gun, so who knows what this pro does after he has killed Juliette?
- Gianluca and Luciano : two made gangsters of the Carelli family. They have a stash of illegal nuclear weapons hidden in Taormina. They have to get it out of the place, without witnesses. Since the stash is big and they'll have to use a truck, they won't be able to leave unnoticed under the current circumstances. So, they'll have to kill every inhabitant of the town. Only guilty on investigation when performing a kill.
- Taketsi : one of the most cruel killers wandering around this earth. He's a member of an important yakuza family. His job is to take out Gianluca and Luciano and to get the nuclear weapons out of the place. He is able investigate 2 players each night or to kill 1 player. When killing, he'll turn out guilty upon investigation by the Carabinieri or Juliette. If he doesn't kill at night, he'll turn up innocent.
- Juliette: Secret agent. She was enjoying a holiday with her fiancee, who got unfortunately killed. She has the ability to investigate one player each night. If she happens to discover the hitman, she will have a 50 % chance of killing him during a unique attempt. If she fails, she will die.
- Carabinieri: a classic detective. Can investigate one player each night.
- Prostitute: gets to spend the night with one player each night. Night actions of that player will be blocked. If the player gets attacked or investigated, the attack and investigation will fail. An attack on the player sleeping with the prostitute has a 33 % chance of killing the prostitute.
