A shrill scream pierces the quiet morning air. All the inhabitants of Letheville, a small riverside community, quickly jump out of bed and rush outside to see what all of the commotion is about. As they exit, they are greeted by the beautiful sunrise along with the sight of a dead body laying on the ground with multiple knife wounds and bullet holes.
Thousands of questions spring into everyones’ minds.
What’s this all about? Is the town safe anymore? Who was he? In fact, who are all these people around me? Should I know who they are?
Everyone looks around blankly as they realize that they can’t remember a thing, not even their own names or their jobs.
“What’s going on, why can’t I remember anything?”
“This may answer our questions,” says another person who is holding a note. “I found this next to our departed friend.”
The note reads:
You may have caught us the first time, but don’t think you’ll stop us again. Let’s see how many of you survive now that you can’t remember who we are.
-The Mafia
Apparently, the town’s police force had arrested a band of mafia members a few days ago. However, the mafia members escaped and somehow added an amnesia-causing drug into the town’s water supply so that their identities could remain a secret. And now, it seems, the mafia want revenge for their capture.
“Well, if we caught them the first time, it shouldn’t be too hard to catch them again,” one of you says.
You all nod your heads in consent and begin discussing your plan to rid the city of the mafia. You decide that each day you will democratically decide on one person to lynch. You will continue this process until you have eliminated all of the mafia. But there’s one problem:
“What’s everyone’s name?” someone finally has the courage to ask.
“I don’t know,” everyone seems to mumble.
“Well, why don’t we just make some up?” someone suggests.
So you all proceed to think up names, write them on name tags and go around introduce themselves.
“I’m Dranko20, because names with numbers are better.”
“I can’t decide if I want to be Dragon or Phoenix.”
“How about Dragon Phoenix?”
“How do you pronounce the underscores in your name, Mr_Gnome_It_All?”
After all of the introductions, someone finally points to the dead body and asks:
“Who is he?”
“He looks like a Fuldu.”
You take Fuldu to the town coroner who concludes that Fuldu was a cop, able to investigate people at night to determine whether they were guilty or innocent.
As the sun has now fully risen, the town gather back to discuss who to lynch.
Fuldu, Cop, killed Night 1
It is now DAY 1. With 11 alive, it will take 6 votes to lynch.
