Welcome to Nowhere,
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Welcome to Nowhere,
Welcome to Nowhere, Nebraska*.
And welcome to the Game of Mafia.
Some of you may know this game... some of you might not. This is the CB Edition™.
~~
RULES:
- ten CBers may volunteer to play, and one CBer to narrate. Keep in mind the first person who volunteers to be narrator will be the narrator.
- the narrator will choose a Mafia, a Nurse, and a Detective. The Mafia must choose someone to kill, the Nurse will save someone, and the Detective will accuse someone. Everyone will convene to vote someone innocent or guilty. If the Mafia is caught, the people of Nowhere, Nebraska win. If the Mafia kills everyone, the Mafia wins.
- after ten players and one narrator have been chosen, the ten players will then post a character sheet, posted below. For example, I might first post like this:
Joining!
Submitted by Luminescence, age 12, Atlantis
And then like this:
Name: Jeannie Lucas
[insert the rest of the charrie sheet as directed]
Submitted by Jeannie L., age 12, Silva Vivus Umbrare
Or something like that.
- DO NOT REVEAL YOURSELF, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. Everyone will know which CBer is the Mafia, but they won't know which CHARACTER the CBer is RPing as, and therefore, they will not know which character is the Mafia. Likewise for the Nurse and Detective. So if you reveal which charrie is yours, the game is kind of ruined.
- please don't dispute my rules unless they seem unfair. There are millions of versions of Mafia, and to avoid confusion we are just going to use this set.
- be active! If you join this, you need to not drop out immediately- it's characters reactions that will allow people to decide whether one is guilty or innocent.
- if you have any questions, ask them! I'll be happy to answer. You may also ask Sky NightStar or Bakerloo. See footnote.
- you may not narrate twice in a row, unless no one volunteers to narrate next. You may, however, use the same charrie twice in a row if you want to, but this might reveal you to everyone so I advise not doing it.
- in the next game I might shrink or grow the amount of people, this is a test run. I also might make it so that multiple games can go on at the same time.
- if you are the narrator, please remember you are basically running the game: I don't suggest volunteering for this if you've never played Mafia before or if you don't think you'll be able to keep a commitment.
- Have fun! Hopefully!
- I'm sure it's going to turn out I forgot something haha so sorry in advance.

Name: Lavender Clerix
Gender: Female
Age: What is a good age? 17?
Backstory: At the age of 3, in preschool, it was discovered that Lavender could only see black and white. Ironic, since her name is a color. Yes. That was on purpose. Since then she struggled with school, work and play. People teased her, calling her Newspaper, Penguin or Zebra. She has gotten past that. Mostly. Not at all. She wished she could experience the world in color, but just when she got past that, she lost her sense of smell. The world will never be the same for her again. She decided to try and run away to a world somewhere, maybe even in space or death, where she could have her senses back, and ended up here.
Appearance: Her hair is lavender (It was dyed when she was a baby, and keeps getting re-dyed. Not like she would care.) and shoulder length. She usually wears a Japanese school-girl type outfit. She has those cute circular glasses that everybody (if everybody is me) sees and immediately wants but doesn’t need.
Personality: Introverted, creative (though she always chooses the wrong colors) and imaginative. Even though she struggled, she was always top of her class, and is at genius level.
Other: Nope

Done.

Name: Briar Morton
Age: 14
Pronouns: they/them
Backstory: They have no idea how they got to Nowhere, actually. They went to bed one night, and when they woke up, there they were in a motel in the middle of Nowhere.
Appearance: They have red curly hair (dyed, obviously) in a pixie cut with one side shaved, so the other side flops over their face. They're wearing a white button-down shirt tucked into tight black pants so it floofs out and looks like a pirate shirt, along with stylish black boots. They're average height for their age, but they have good posture and regularly wear shoes with heels, so they look taller than they are. They have chestnut skin and like to experiment with makeup, especially winged eyeliner.
Personality: They're pretty outgoing and have a lot of self-confidence. That isn't to say that they're foolhardy, though; they know how to judge a situation before they jump in. They tend to take the leadership position in every group. They're very poised, and their friends consider them one of the most mature people around. Their biggest weaknesses are being too bossy, taking on more than their share of work, and caring about others more than themself.
Other: None!

The Game of Mafia, CB Edition™, shall begin momentarily. Please stand by.
But first, @Admin, could you replace one of the "(unknown)"s with Quincey Hunter?
Secondly, an announcement:
Firelily and NiteSkiies are both taking hiatuses to deal with irl life. To both of you, please take the time you need to take care of yourselves and don't worry about this game if you don't have time to.
To NiteSkiies, *hugs* Sending love and hugs your way. I'll be thinking of you and your family <33
To Firelily, *begins to sing* take a break! *stops singing because the rest of the song is not applicable* I saw your post on the Confessions thread; I hope life becomes less stressful for you soon and will sort itself out.
I'm going to assume that the last charrie that hasn't been named is either Firelily or NiteSkiies's (don't correct me or confirm- I don't want anything to be revealed >:D) but if it is your charrie who hasn't been posted, please do so ASAP.
Without further ado, presenting... our first-ever round of the Game of Mafia, CB Edition™! Check the last page for more information, which should be posted by... *thinks about when I the narrator will have time* 12:15 PM PDT! That is 1:15 PM MDT, 2:15 PM CDT, and 3:15 PM EST. Though of course we must allow time for the admins to post it, so maybe check thirty to sixty minutes after said times. And now I must bid you so long and farewell, for I must get ready for school. *waves*

Name: Quincey Hunter

Personality: Friendly, energetic, talkative, easily intimidated.
Other: They have a tabby cat named Rain!

As I'm writing this, my previous comment has not appeared. So apologies if I accidentally end up being annoyingly redundant.
But for real this time...
Welcome to Nowhere, Nebraska.
You can find the list of CBers and charries on page 2 of this thread.
~~
ROLES:
Quill, you are the Mafia, and your objective is to obliterate every character in Nowhere, Nebraska, until yours is the only one left. Basically, conquer this town.
Silver Crystal, you are the Nurse and Nowhere, Nebraska's only medical care. Don't die, Nowhere, Nebraska needs you.
Kitten, you are the Detective and Nowhere, Nebraska's only hope for not being obliterated by the Mafia. (No pressure, of course.)
Everyone else, you are a normal townsperson.
~~
It is nighttime. The residents of and those who are not residents and yet are residing in Nowhere, Nebraska, are asleep. Well, most of them. A few are up late, doing homework. One is staring at the stars and thinking deep thoughts. A few are wishing they were anywhere but here. A few are wondering how they got here in the first place. A few are staring at their ceilings, unable to sleep. One is plotting the deaths of ten other people in this small town.
Mafia, who do you want to kill?
Nurse, who do you want to save?
and Detective, who do you want to accuse?
~~
Mafia, Nurse, and Detective, please respond to the question. If you haven't responded by Friday, March 19, I shall be picking a new one of whatever your role is.
~~
To everyone, including the Mafia/Nurse/Detective, feel free to make an RP post (BUT DON'T POST UNDER YOUR CB NAME! POST UNDER YOUR CHARRIE'S NAME!) about what your charrie is doing- e.g., are they asleep? If so, what are they dreaming about? If not, what are they doing?
The RPing will get more interesting after the first death, but this is your chance to introduce your charrie and give the Detective a little bit to go off of about whom to accuse.
Try not to give away which charrie is yours through your writing style, especially Quill, Silver, and Kitten.
Best of luck :)

Aven is trying to sleep, but failing. She's in an uncomfortable bed in a hotel, and misses home. She's staring at the ceiling, wanting nothing more than to fall asleep. Or to go home.
