Introduction



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.


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.

HI! So, you mentioned "Fae" but went on to say supernatural humanoid. My question is, does this mean that it's not limited to specifically Fae folklore, or are we sticking to the traditional Seelie and Unseelie court types? And in that, is Fae directed to a singular of people, or is it an all-encompassing term referring to a collective of various peoples ranging from brownies to dryads to changelings and more? Could I be a selkie since they have a human form but can take the form of a seal? I'm just trying to get an idea of the range of this concept!

@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.

One more question: Real life face claim for character picture or can we use art?

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

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

2-part question for when you can answer:

Can one of my inventory items be "five days of rations" ?

And in that same vein, can one of my items be a wooden case that holds six individual potions? I had an idea to have a sort of kit of standard potions and a deadly one would be missing from the case

@ParadoxShark If you're looking for fae, Redcap could be interesting since their malevolent nature would make them an easy suspect! But other fun fae races to choose from could be a dullahan, a hulder, or perhaps even some class of nymph!

On the topic of characters, does mine have to be magicy? Or am I allowed to be a magicless human. Like a tourist or something.

@AntiRpRP GM said already that it doesn't matter if they're magicky or not, it doesn't effect the story, so yes, you can have a hoomin

On the topic of items, is it stuff that can be used in game or only something assosiated with an OC that they have with them?

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