Trapped in Taormina [Concluded]

[Andres]

Day 4 - Conclusion



Porta Messina - Taormina - 11.45 p.m.

The good people of Taormina were getting really upset and the screams for blood grew louder and louder.

The towns' inquisition started a witchhunt and it seemed like axel, the silent, shy guy in the corner was spending the last few hours of his live.

The poor chap finally started to talk. He seemed like a regular, nice guy and people started to change their minds. After long deliberation, the inhabitants of Taormina presented Pino two suspects: Haudegen and Sarathos.

Pino stared at the two men brought to him. As he kept staring without saying a word, the crowd went silent.

The world consisted of Pino, the two suspects and the little silver coin in Pino's hand.

The coin was flipped. He looked at the coin, took his gun and pointed it at the suspects.

The crowd seemed to hold its' breath. All eyes were on Pino's sun reflecting gun.

BANG!

Haudegen screamed in panic, while Sarathos fell on his knees, an amazed look in his eyes while he watched the hole in his chest.

BANG!

The bullet between Sarathos' eyes made an end at his life. Pino holstered his gun and left the scene, shaking his head.

The people of Taormina went back to their hotelrooms, hoping for a peacefull night.

It's now Night. PM's please.

OOC: This will be an extended night phase. Soccer game on Saturday + Belgian cup final Sunday afternoon/evening. It'll be a week-end drenched in alcohol for me I hope to be sober on Sunday evening +/- 22.00 (GMT +2)

IC: Good night all

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Before I go, Vote:Abstain

Events are moving too quickly currently for me, in good conscience, to vote for someone, who knowing my luck will then get lynched because of me.

However, FOS: Husar, Little Grizzly, and Haudegan

Tally:

sarathos: 4 (Mithrandir, Sasaki Kojiro, pevergreen, Elite Ferret)

Haudegen: 4 (TinCow, Proletariat, Northnovas, Privateerkev)

Looks like I was right...

[Andres]

Night 5 - Conclusion

OOC: Anderlecht won the cup, so please, if soemthing isn't clear from the write-upe, I'll correct it when I'm sober.

Here weg oo...



Woohooe!!

Husar left his room.

While he walked through the corridor, he was hit by a hard kick on his knees.

Husar fell down. Another kick hit him on the head.

Almost unconscious, he tried to look up.

A well placed kick chopped of Husar's right arm. Before Husar could scream, another kick chopped of his left arm.

"Guess you're defeated," his attacker said.

"No! I'm not," Husar screamed. Somehow, he got up to his feet and he started to yell at his attacker.

"Come over here, you coward! Are you afraid of an armless man! Gah! Attack me! Come on!"

Two well placed kicks chopped of Husar's legs. Husar kept taunting his attacker until he bleeded to dead.

***

Rythmic didn't go to his room that night. Instead he went to the local church, to pray.

While he was saying his prayers, a man entered the church.

"Are you also here to pray, Mister?", Rythmic politely said to the man.

The answer of the man consisted of three bullets in Rythmic's stomach.

Rythmic bleeded to dead, his attacker slowly left the scene.

***

pevergreen was walking down one the many narrow streets of Taormina.

"Wait!", a man said.

"Huh? Who are you?", pevergreen asked.

"Just wait! Don't move! I'm an evil mafioso!" the man said, looking a bit nervous.

pevergreen looked at the pale looking man's face. "You, a mafioso? You can barely stop trembling! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Don't you mock me! I'm a mafioso! I'm professional! I have a gun."

"Sure you have", pevergreen said. He turned his back, shaking his head and laughing. What a silly guy that was.

However, the man indeed had a gun. His hands were trembling while he fired three shots. One shot accidentally hit pevergreen in the leg.

"Hurray!" the man yelled. He moved closer to pever, pointed the gun at his head an fired a few more bullets.

pevergreen died instantly.

***

Haudegen was drunk that night. Because of the killings he was the only one left in his hotel. While he was having his 10th amaretto, a man entered the bar.

The cat 'o nine talis hit him very hard. He dropped his glass and fell on his knees. The man grabbed Haudegen and tied him up. He stripped off Haudegen's shirt.

The cat 'o nine tails hit Haudegen over and over again. After an hour, Haudegen body consisted of some bloody pulp. Allthough he was already dead, the man kept whipping him over and over again.

Finally satisfied, he took the latest Beirut&Decker chainsaw. The man grinned.

Later that day, people found Haudegen's head on a spear, near Ichigo's fresh grave...

***
Day 5.



Porta Messina - Taormina - 7.30 a.m.

The people of Taormina gathered near the Porta Messina. They saw Pino's body in a pool of blood.

Without a real leader, they didn't know what to do. They figured they should continue to do what they always did so far.

And so they started to vote. Again...

It's day. Start voting.

[Privateerkev]

Well crap...

Seems that the detective is dead, there was no mention of the prostitute, and pever is now dead.

Ok, I am well and truly clueless as to what is going on and I need to be AFK for the rest of the evening.

[TinCow]

Seems that the detective is dead

Since you apparently knew the identity of the detective, mind telling the rest of us who it was?

[Husar]

I find my writeup a bit weird, Andres.

Also I would like to note that I am actually a bit suspicious of Privateerkev, let's just say I only tried to discredit Sigurd to save my life which obviously(and expectedly) didn't really work for long now that I got so much attention.

Ah well, like I said, the town is in pretty bad shape, looks like we have 13 townies and at least 4 killers.

It also seems obvious that the mafia, at least one group of them(if they're not working together already...) is killing all our suspects trying to leave us clueless.
And that lads, is why we have to looks at the innocent guys, those who are most "helpful" to the town and lynch them. Since I'm dead I guess I should not include myself in that list.

Well, I already mentioned Privateerkev, then there is TinCow and Sasaki, Northnovas is highly suspect as well IMO, very much under the radar this game and also helped me discredit Sigurd which is very scummy in 2 ways (1. people who side with me are often scum says my experience; 2. like I already said I tried to discredit Sigurd not because I believed he was necessarily wrong but to avoid the consequences of going into the opposite direction).

I'm now starting to have doubts about Proletariat again because what I previously saw as a reason to think of her as innocent is not necessarily valid anymore and she also sided with me against Sigurd.

My thoughts about Makanyane equal a void, maybe more analysis is required here.

Concerning the identity of the detective, wasn't Pino the detective? The writeup says he lay in his own blood so that would mean he is dead, wouldn't it?

Ah yes, there is also Gaius Scribonius Curio who from what I heard and feel should be a prime candidate for the gallows as well, I could envision him as a team with Northnovas but it could also be my fantasy going wild.

Well, these are my thoughts, mainly based on intuition etc. because in previous games my intuition was usually way better than my "evidence"...

[woad&fangs]

Vote: Sasaki

Ugh, I am completely confused.

edit: I'm in agreement with Husar. I could easily see Sasaki and PK leading the town around by the butthairs. I was also suspicious of Curio at one point. I'll have to recheck why and see if that reasoning still stands.

[KukriKhan]

I find my writeup a bit weird, Andres.

Hee-hee. He made you The Black Knight..

I've kept up with the thread, even though I'm dead, just to see what happens. Total observation: no clue. Victims seem picked at random. At this rate of killing and lynching, game should be over in 3 days.

Then we get the summary, and find out what was what (and who was whom).

-edit-
pever's killer sounds like a "new" hitman, a Nervous Nelly, a murderer who has hidden in the background until now. Maybe axel, whose behavior in-thread mirrors that of the inexperienced killer?

[pevergreen]

Whoever he is...he better watch out.

I've been reborn. pevergreen is dead, peverpink rises from the ashes.

[Andres]

Day 5 - Conclusion



Porta Messina - Taormina - 10.30 p.m.

It was hot that day. Even now, at 10.30 pm it was still 30° Celsius.

The smell of anxious sweat was dominating.

Several people were being found suspicious.

Two of them were most probably guilty, according to the townspeople.

Both Northnovas and Omanes were put forward. The mob started to hit them both and somebody had two ropes ready for them.

"Wait! Wait! We shouldn't lynch more then one person each day! The Carabinieri said so!" a voice yelled.

"Screw the Carabnieri! He's dead now! What good were his rules for him, eh? Lynch them both! Blood, we want to see blood."

"No!", a tall man stepped forward. "We have to obey the rules!"

The crowd yelled at the man.

"I will rather die then break the rules," the man, also known as Mithrandir, said.

He ran to the funivia and jumped, yelling : "My noble camel who died bravely during the eruption, I..."

SPLASH!

The people were shocked. Somebody did a recount and noticed that Northnovas had more votes then Omanes.

The crying Northnovas soon had a rope around his neck. Before he could make a last wish, he was swinging on the Porta Messina. A few minutes later, Northnovas was no more.

"Tommorow morning at the Teatro Greco", somebody yelled. Everybody nodded in agreement.

***

Before going to bed, Bananabob and Tratorix decided to take a walk to the funivia, to see if they could retrieve Mithrandir's body to give it a proper burial. When they reached the edge, however, Bananabob slipped away. Tratorix tried to save him, but the 120 kilo's of Bananabob, who had discovered the delicious Penne ala Norma, a local speciality, were too much for Tratorix and they both fell down, a sickening "splash" sound marking the end of their lives.

***


Tally:

Northnovas - 3 (TinCow, Sasaki Kojiro, Northnovas)

Omanes Alexandrapolites - 3 2 (Curio, Privateerkev, Mithrandir (after Mith's suicide, Omanes only had 2 votes (death can't vote))

Sasaki Kojiro - 2 (Makanyane, Omanes Alexandrapolites)

woad&fangs - 1 (LittleGrizzly)
Caius - 1 (woad&fangs)
Mithrandir - 1 (Elite Ferret)

Abstain - 1 (Caius)

Not voting: Tiberius, axel, Bananabob, Tratorix, Proletariat.

So, is this the first time a person was the deciding vote on his own lynch?

[Makanyane]

So, is this the first time a person was the deciding vote on his own lynch?

It does rather lack the mafioso self preservation instinct....

[Husar]

Ok guys, how can we believe the analysis of people who write names like "Haudagen" or "Mayankane"? The first person to write "Huser" will get banned from my upcoming mafia game* and lose 1000 imaginary rubber-friendship points with me, okay?!

I mean, come on, pipikev and Omaris.**

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

*there is none
**this is a friendly reminder, proper reception of possibly included attempts at humor not guaranteed but hoped for

I also think that Northnovas might have been a good lynch, or not.

[Privateerkev]

I'm bad at spelling...

[pevergreen]

You can still make an attempt.

If Sigurd was mafia with me, he would not cover, he would distance himself. Any type of contact comes under scrutiny.

I dont like how PK is playing, I say lynch him, then take a look at axel and Omanes.

[Mithrandir]

My camels don't die, they just lay down when they get bored of killing enemies. Nothing can kill them, not even a vulcano. When a camel steps into lava, the camel doesn't get burned, the lava gets camelled.

(slightly altered chuck norris quote)

[Northnovas]

One less town member.

[Mithrandir]

2 actually.

Anyway, FOS: Sasaki, Privateerkev, TinCow & Omanes.

*returns to sauna*

[axel]

Night 6 - Conclusion

TinCow returned from the gathering at the Porta Messina. He decided to go straight to his hotel.

While he was walking down one of the many narrow, steep streets of Taormina, he sensed that something was wrong.

His instincts told him to duck.

He barely avoided getting sliced into two pieces by a sword.

He heard a voice cursing and started to run. The quick footsteps behind him told him that the he was been followed.

All of the sudden, TinCow turned around, a throwing knife in his hand. His attacker dodged the knife and swung his sword at TinCow's neck. Again, his reflexes saved him. While the attacker was trying to refind his balance, TinCow kicked the attacker in the groin.

The attacker fell down and TinCow walked up to his victim, a second knife in his hand.

"You picked the wrong target tonight," he said with a cold-hearted voice.

He stabbed his knife at his attacker who quickly turned away from it, jumped back on his feet and swung the sword again at TinCow, who was completely out of balance. The sword sliced TinCow in two pieces.

In one fluent move, the attacker pierced the sword through TinCow's chest, for good measure. The killer limped away, still suffering from the hard kick in the groin.

***


Omanes was enjoying the splendid view accross the bay of Naxos, looking at Mount Etna.

Sipping from his limoncello he sighed. It was hard to believe that this beautiful place was the scene of such horrendous events.

He promised himself to come back after this nightmare was over, to re-discover what had to be one of the most lovely places in the world.

Sipping again from his limocello, he didn't hear the careful footsteps behind him.

The killer watched Omanes and sneaked up on him. The murdered pointed the silenced gun to the back of Omanes's head and pulled the trigger.

While Omanes was laying in a pool of his own blood, the professional killer shot two more bullets in Omanes' head and one more in his chest.

He calmly left the scene.

***
Makanyane left her hotelroom. She couldn't sleep and she figured a drink in the bar would help.

She entered the elevator. When the elevator reached its' destination, she waited until the doors opened.

A dark figure, weilding a tommy gun was standing right in front of her.

The salvo of the machine gun litterally butchered her to dead.

The attacker limped away.

***

Day 6




Teatro Greco - Taormina - 7.30 am

The remaining inhabitants of Taormina gathered in the Teatro.

Most of them had a very bad feeling when they realised how many of them already passed away. Tiberius of the Drake was leaning against a wall. He accidentally stumbled and broke his skull, leading to instant dead.

This was interpreted as a very bad omen and the silence soon developed into a heated debate.

They had to vote. Again...

[Privateerkev]

1 kill that looked like a Carelli. 1 that looked like yakuza. And one that is similar to the killing of Ichigo. My guess would be Manfredo. And no sign of Juliette's brother or the "noobish mafioso".

And a nighttime WoG.

Alright, I've been going through Caius's posts. He is very active on the rest of the board but hardly ever posts in here. Especially lately. I think he's lurking for some reason.

vote: Caius

tally:

Caius: 1 (Privateerkev)

[TinCow]

Well played, and good roll of the die.

[Privateerkev]

Well played, and good roll of the die.

you were the noob?

[Makanyane]

She couldn't sleep and she figured a drink in the bar would help.

Andres knows me too well I think...

damn! Nine left and 3 attacks doesn't seem like good odds.

I'm interested in why my attacker 'limped away', didn't seem like anything I'd done, TC's attacker was kicked in groin but the style of attack sword versus gun seems too different for it to be two attacks by same person?

Also why TC who everyone had been assuming role-less after his earlier night with the prostitute had the ability to partially defend himself is maybe interesting

anyway goodbye cruel world

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

OK, its time for sme analysis...

To begin the write-up.

TinCow returned from the gathering at the Porta Messina. He decided to go straight to his hotel.

While he was walking down one of the many narrow, steep streets of Taormina, he sensed that something was wrong.

His instincts told him to duck.

He barely avoided getting sliced into two pieces by a sword.

He heard a voice cursing and started to run. The quick footsteps behind him told him that the he was been followed.

All of the sudden, TinCow turned around, a throwing knife in his hand. His attacker dodged the knife and swung his sword at TinCow's neck. Again, his reflexes saved him. While the attacker was trying to refind his balance, TinCow kicked the attacker in the groin.

The attacker fell down and TinCow walked up to his victim, a second knife in his hand.

"You picked the wrong target tonight," he said with a cold-hearted voice.

He stabbed his knife at his attacker who quickly turned away from it, jumped back on his feet and swung the sword again at TinCow, who was completely out of balance. The sword sliced TinCow in two pieces.

In one fluent move, the attacker pierced the sword through TinCow's chest, for good measure. The killer limped away, still suffering from the hard kick in the groin.

Tincow was killed by a sword. This is almost certainly the Yakusa. However the method in which Tincow fights back means there is a fairly high likelihood that he had a role (imo).

However which role was it? The new nervous killer? The MiB? A Carelli? Or something else?

The nervous guy doesn't fit, due to the confidence that is obvious from the write-up.
The MiB wouldn't have voted for Ichigo, Tincow did. This isn't plausible.
A Carelli makes more sense, but the order of the kills doesn't allow for it. Andres subtlely gives us an order in that Tincow is killed en route to his hotel, Omanes is killed whilst at the hotel and Makanyane is killed in the middle of the night, because she can't sleep.

The only other possibility I can think of is that the MiB wasn't the brother, but there is contradictary evidence for that. In other words I'm stumped atm. On we go...

Omanes was enjoying the splendid view accross the bay of Naxos, looking at Mount Etna.

Sipping from his limoncello he sighed. It was hard to believe that this beautiful place was the scene of such horrendous events.

He promised himself to come back after this nightmare was over, to re-discover what had to be one of the most lovely places in the world.

Sipping again from his limocello, he didn't hear the careful footsteps behind him.

The killer watched Omanes and sneaked up on him. The murdered pointed the silenced gun to the back of Omanes's head and pulled the trigger.

While Omanes was laying in a pool of his own blood, the professional killer shot two more bullets in Omanes' head and one more in his chest.

He calmly left the scene.

Professional killer=Manfredo imo. The method of execution is bold and risky, seemingly in his hotel room, or in a bar somewhere, Omanes has met his end.
If this is the case (and this is unlikely, but we are in need of optimism here...) it follows that Manfredo has assassinated a prime suspect. Remember that there was a large amount of suspicion floating over Omanes. Perhaps (stretching the realms of possibility to the limit...) Manfredo has gone pro-town and is attempting to find and eliminate Mafia. Due to the ordering of the kills it is possible that Omanes was Taketski, however from the write-up this now seems unlikely.

Makanyane left her hotelroom. She couldn't sleep and she figured a drink in the bar would help.

She entered the elevator. When the elevator reached its' destination, she waited until the doors opened.

A dark figure, weilding a tommy gun was standing right in front of her.

The salvo of the machine gun litterally butchered her to dead.

The attacker limped away.

The method of assassination, a tommy gun, is crude, but effective. As I'd expect from a Carelli mafioso. For the reasons stated above I don't believe this killer was Manfredo or Taketski. There is the possibility that was was the new, nervous killer, unable to go through with another last-ditch conversation.

The fact that there were only three kills is encouraging, but our situation is still dire.

The lack of an MiB killing means that Sigurd may have access to some correct information. However he could have merely guessed. Its down to him to persuade us otherwise.

Caius
Gaius Scribonius Curio (please spell my name right... or just type Curio)
Sasaki Kojiro
Elite Ferret
LittleGrizzly
axel
Privateerkev
Proletariat

The list of all those left alive...

Curio- found innocent by detective (so I claim...), but seriously I'm innocent.

Axel- His lack of activity pretty much rules him out, unless he is ridiculously clever and is fooling us all, a candidate for the nervous killer, as there was a kill two nights ago, but none last night (when he wasn't active).

Elite Ferret- Seems to have been squeaky clean since taking control of TS's (at the time suspicious) role. Has RL issues and thus has been fairly quiet. I'd say innocent, but bears watching.

Prole- has been fairly inactive of late and indeed has been laying fairly low since the opening exchanges with PK. Could be down to RL issues but it still is verging on the suspicious.

Little Grizzly- Was under a real threat of lynching at one point (on what is now viewed as fairly weak evidence). His contributions have picked up of late and appears to be innocent.

PrivateerKev-Easily the most verbose among us, Kev's contributions have diminished as we approach the end-game. Has been the target of a concerted attack by Sigurd, but there is no evidence against him aside from Sigurd's dubious reveal. My gut feeling is innocent.

Woad&Fangs- Has been working quietly to save the town and is now surprised that he hasn't been targeted. There's nothing in his posts to suggest he's mafia, but he is correct insaying that he hasn't been under intense scrunity, maybe this should change today? Atm, I'm leaning towards innocent, but there's no evidence for (or against) him that I can see...

Sasaki Kojiro- Billed as the master of deception, despite the enmity (for want of a better word) that Sasaki has accrued in the past, that he is still alive is testament to his skill. There is some evidence to suggest his innocence, but as others have said he is still dangerous and still possibe Mafia. I don't believe he is...

(... but that could be my naivety talking).

Caius- One word and one word only can describe him... lurker. Perhaps honestly bewildered at the pace and intensity of the game, he has said and done nothing to help the town. In fact he has barely even voted! Unlucky innocent with no time to think or cunning mafioso? You decide, for myself...

FOS: Caius

...the only lurker left alive.

[Privateerkev]

PrivateerKev-Easily the most verbose among us, Kev's contributions have diminished as we approach the end-game. Has been the target of a concerted attack by Sigurd, but there is no evidence against him aside from Sigurd's dubious reveal. My gut feeling is innocent.

It's true that I've quieted down a little. I've gotten more confused as the game has gone on. That and I started to get tired of arguing with a ghost who has nothing to lose.

I like your analysis but there is one thing missing. The killer who got Mak was limping. And TC kicked his killer between the legs. This suggests that it was the same person. So we may have one person who can do two kills.

At least this finally removes the last shreds of doubt that Sigurd was in fact Taketsi. He has been hiding behind the "but there is a yakuza still around" excuse long enough. That excuse is now useless in light of this new information.

As for TC being Carelli, it doesn't make sense. He was blocked on a night where 4 attacks happened. I find it more likely that he was the noob.

I think our best chance is in hoping that Manfredo is indeed on our side. I can only see two kill reports that look like him. One was Ichigo. And one was Omanes. If Manfredo is with us, then there is just one killer.

I still think Caius is the best lynch candidate. Look at his post record. He is very active all over the board. And he is in other games in the gameroom. Yet he hardly posts in this thread.

tally:

Caius: 2 (Privateerkev, Elite Ferret)

Sasaki: 1 (woad&fangs)

I like your analysis...

Thank you.

...but there is one thing missing. The killer who got Mak was limping. And TC kicked his killer between the legs. This suggests that it was the same person. So we may have one person who can do two kills.

I did indeed miss that, but it isn't necessarily true. I'm going to go back and check the other write-ups to see if there is another reason for this.

At least this finally removes the last shreds of doubt that Sigurd was in fact Taketsi.

I don't believe that. It makes a lot more sense that he had a secret role, or that he's merely a misguided townie, trying to play God! (OOC:)

As for TC being Carelli, it doesn't make sense. He was blocked on a night where 4 attacks happened. I find it more likely that he was the noob.

I did say that it was unlikely, and that I'm stumped.

I think our best chance is in hoping that Manfredo is indeed on our side. I can only see two kill reports that look like him. One was Ichigo. And one was Omanes. If Manfredo is with us, then there is just one killer.

Will have to check this, will be back later.

Day 6 - Conclusion




Teatro Greco - Taormina - 10.30 pm

The nine remaining inhabitants of Taormina continued the debate.

Paranoia had all of them in their grasp.

In the end, two people were considered to be the most suspicious. The smooth talker Sasaki and the silent lurker Caius.

Both men were seen as evil in person, but in the end it was decided that the silent Caius had to be one of the dangerous killers.

Soon, Caius found himself surrounded by the other survivors, yet he kept silent.

One of the villagers took a hammer, another one a crowbar. Tools lay shattered around the Teatro Greco which had just been renovated, and they all ganged up on Caius, armed with whatever they found.

"It's not me! It's the other guy!" Caius yelled, pointing his finger at Sasaki.

The wind seemed to whisper the same, but the crowd already made up its' mind.

Caius pushed somebody aside and punched another one in the face.

The small mob grew angry and enraged and they jumped on Caius. After having received several blows and kicks he was tied up and thrown at the floor of the theatre, the sand mercifully blinding him.

Somebody walked up to the rotting body of Pino and took the death Carabinieri's gun. He walked up to Caius, pointed the gun at his head and pulled the trigger.

The bullet in Caius' head instantly ended his life.

"Too many corpses here at this place," the man said with a raw voice, a bewildered look on his face. "Let's gather at Isola Bella tomorrow morning."

The remaining townies nodded silently in agreement and walked back to their almost empty hotels.

While walking back to his hotel, axel stumbled and fell on his head.While he was crawling back to his knees, he didn't notice the falling brick that broke his neck.

Night 7 : Conclusion



Teatro Greco - Taormina - 11.45 pm

The theatre was empty.

Only one man was still standing there : Curio. He looked at the bodies lying on the ground and shaked his head in disbelief. How did all of this happen? First there was this disaster with the eruption of Mount Etna. And then there was this seemingly endless nightmare of killings, lynchings, strange accidents, suicides...

"Murphy's law?" he thought by himself, a bit surprised by his hard sarcastic sense of humor.

Finally, he walked out of the theatre.

As soon as he was outside the ancient structure, he came face to face with a man, lurking in the shadows, wearing a fedora.

Curio couldn't see him very well, but he noticed that the man was smiling and smoking a cigarette.

When he looked down, he saw that the was also holding a tommy gun.

The burst of bullets instantly transformed Curio's body into a bloody mess.

The smiling man dropped his cigarette and calmly left the scene.

***

Elite Ferret was hungry. He hadn't eaten for two days, because he was too afraid to enter any other building but his hotel.

But he couldn't sleep, so he went out, late at night, looking for a pizzeria.

He finally found one where there were still lights shining. Obviously, there was nobody in the pizzeria.

"Guess I'll have to prepare my own dish. Oh well, why not."

On the other side of the street a man wearing a fedora watched Elite Ferret entering the building. He waited for a couple of minutes and then pushed the button on a device.

An enormous explosion devastated the building. With an overwhelming noise, the walls of the restaurant collapsed, burrying Elite Ferret under several tons of bricks.

The man walked to the building and watched the flames. He lights a cigarette from the smoldering rubble and smokes it, enjoying his work. After a few minutes he dropped his cigarette and quickly ran away from the scene.

****
woad&fangs was out of breath. Never before had he run that fast.

He quickly entered his hotel room and blocked the door with some pieces of furniture. Finally feeling safe, he took off his clothes and went to the bathroom, to take a shower.

When the water started to run, the window of the third floor room was silently opened. A man calmy walked into the room and followed the noise of the singing woad&fangs.

When he entered the room, woad&fangs had just ended his shower and turned around to see a silenced gun pointed at his head.

"It's a mistake, really..." woad&fangs murmured.

The bullet between his eyes ended all of his fears.

The man walked up to the body and fired two more shots in the head and one in the chest. He left the room through the window, disappearing unnoticed into the night.

Day 7


Isola Bella - Taormina - 7.30 am

4 people showed up at Isola Bella.

They didn't quite expect for this to happen. Only 4 of them left and one of them had to be a murdering mafioso.

They silently stared at each other.

Again, they had to vote...
