[Mafia] The Aurora Project - [END]

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Hunter". One of the innocent roles...

You can see the light just dim in Voi's eyes.

[wingedcatgirl]

"... Holy fucking crap that's bad"

[Kennifer]

Holly just... begins crying silently. She falls to her knees and bows her head, hair falling in her face and tears dripping to the floor, her hands balled into tight fists.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen just... falls down... even more dejected.

There is no god. God is dead. And we have killed them.

[Oggy123]

"...We got the wrong guy? Oh, darn it, darn it, DARN IT!"

The floating personification starts to think "Is joining this whole thing really worth it?". The stakes here is surprisingly high, and he may or may not be doomed, and ,ere children has bitten the dust. When all this is finished, he's telling his friends back home about it for sure. All he can do now is to be more careful.

[KungFuCutbug]

[...Innocent.

Sherry just stares at Russell's corpse for a minute. Innocent. Innocent. Ruby had just condemned an innocent man to death—there's no way she could've known, but... No. No no no no no. No no no NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

NO

NO

NO

She can't fucking take this anymore. She throws her head back and SCREAMS as loud as she can, then lunges at Heeko with tears falling down her face and just slugs him as hard as she can.]

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Filled with the rage and sorrow of a thousand Suns... Reisen fires an extra large eye laser from her right eye right at Heeko and the Pianist, obliterating the shrapnel lodged in her right eye in the process...

... YOU SHALL ALL PAY FPR THIS!

[Oggy123]

Being the quite family-friendly entity he is, Nintendo is able to regain his composure. But he sees the others starting to rage.

"Nani? Please, everyone, stop ATTACKING EACH OTHER! ANTAGONIZING EACH OTHER WILL JUST MAKE THE TRAITORS' JOB EASIER!"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi speaks in a drained, monotone voice. ...Stop. Nothing's stopping them from just killing and replacing us anyway. Surprised they haven't done so already.

[Kennifer]

Holly stands up again, shaking. Still not saying a word, she pulls on her parka and goes outside to where Russell had dug the graves for the others. She's going to try to dig one for him, as difficult a task that might be with tears blurring her vision and her body shaking as hard as it was, but she'd try. The poor kid deserved that much, at least.

[KungFuCutbug]

"¡NO! ¡NO PUEDO TOMAR ESTO MÁS!" [Sherry then faceplants onto the ground with her fists still clenched in a white-knuckled grip, crying so hard and so much that she's practically a human waterfall at this point.]

[Cassie]

Heeko manages to pull out a beam katana, and manages to deflect the beam lasers, protecting the Pianist in the process, but gets injured on the face by Sherry.

"WE'VE STILL GOT A FEW MORE CHANCES-" The punch causes him to reel and stops him from talking for a good while.

---

Meanwhile, somewhere perched further away from the main cast...

"[laughter] THEY'RE GONNA COLLAPSE! FALTER AND FAIL LIKE THIS SON-OF-A-GUN'S "PET" PROJECT!"

"This is just...[laughter] Oh my god I haven't seen anything as funny as this throughout my life!"

[Oggy123]

"Please. Please stop DOING ALL THIS! If we all just work together, we'd have a better chance of outsmarting these Traitors for sure!"

[Caret]

...

Bow gazes at Russell's corpse. A sense of absolute anger mixed with crippling guilt surges through Bow's veins. Ruby has just sentenced an innocent to death.

"After all that effort and... we chose the wrong person? We let another innocent die... and... and... and..." Her tears have dilated her normally serene voice into a weak, harsh voice.

"...you know what? I want to go home! I don't want to work on this stupid project anymore! Not if it involves cutting innocents' lives short! Heeko... If you know who the traitors are, then why are you making us play some twisted killing game? Just... why?"

Disheartened, he Sylveon lets out a deep sigh, before heading towards everyone else. Her face is absolutely soaked in tears.

"...I need a break."

[wingedcatgirl]

Enraged, Dubhe swings a haymaker at Heeko.

... the haymaker of a child, which impacts Heeko's shoulder with a comical *pap*, clearly dealing no damage.

"You suck!"

[KungFuCutbug]

[Sherry looks up from her spot on the ground to give a death glare to Heeko.] "Hmph. Te sirve bien, puta." [Then, she turns her head to the others and sighs.] "...I think I need a hug."

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen collapses on the snow again. Looks like that giant eye laser took a lot of energy...

[Oggy123]

Nintendo then immediately flies near Reisen, before patting her in pity.

"Hey, everything's going to be fine if we stick together." he said.

He then approaches Sherry, and tries to hug her.

"Please! I know we're in high stakes, but if we could just work together, we'd outsmart those Traitors for sure!"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

...Save your weapons for the actual killers. Not for some idiot "boss" who thinks he knows what he's doing.

[wingedcatgirl]

Dubhe sits down next to Sherry.

[Caret]

"...me too. I've hugged a lot, but this time... I really need one." Bow slowly trots up to Sherry and spreads her feelers out wide.

[Despair's Archon of Memes]

Reisen limps over to Sherry in order to give her and the others a big hug.

[KungFuCutbug]

[...

...Sherry looks up at Nintendo, Reisen and Bow for a moment, then pulls them all right in for... oh, christ, that's one tight hug. Even tighter than the last one, Bow might notice. She's just gonna sob into Reisen's shoulder for a bit.]

[wingedcatgirl]

Dubhe pats Sherry's shoulder comfortingly.

[Caret]

Bow tightly clings onto Sherry. Wow, that is a tight hug; however, the Sylveon doesn't mind at the moment. She rests her head on Sherry's shoulder and blows a sigh of relief.

"...heh, thanks."
