[Mafia] The Aurora Project - [END]

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Meanwhile, Voi's sitting down in the snowfield. She grabs some snow from the ground and balls it up into a hard sphere of packed ice and snow. Something, anything else to occupy herself.

She begins to aim it at Heeko's head.

[Oggy123]

Nintendo then flies up, and says the following to others.

"Hey, come on! There's still one more Traitor here, and we're home free if we get that one!"

However, he looks at Heeko.

"I know i don't see you as a jerk, friend. But you finished off a few people who didn't deserve punishment! Can i... even trust you?"

He turns towards Voi. "Nani? What are you doing!?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi responds, not even turning to look at Nintendo. I'm doing this.

She throws the snowball at full force, right at Heeko's stupid fucking head.

[Caret]

Bow isn't paying attention to Voi's declaration of war on Heeko. Instead, she's curled up near the fire place; cocooned in the quilt that she brought with her. The Sylveon enjoys the extra warmth, especially after witnessing a fellow Fragment Foundation member being exposed as a traitor. That's fucked up by itself, but... did Reisen even have a hand in that matter? Was she forced into Mr. Thron's service against her will? ... Best not to dwell on it, Bow thinks. She still remains somewhat bitter about Reisen; thinking about her will just makes things worse. Something to take Bow's mind off Reisen would greatly help.

"Hey... once we get out of here... I mean, if we get out of here, what's the first thing you want to do?"

[wingedcatgirl]

Dubhe, still floating around idly inside, shrugs at Bow's question. "Dunno. I never really had much in the way of hobbies. I just watch the mortal realms and do jobs."

[KungFuCutbug]

[Sherry, who has been silently brooding outside her cabin bedroom's door for a bit, just shrugs at Bow's question.] "I'unno. Probably hit the bar for some hard drinks. Lord only knows how much I'll need to forget this..."

[Caret]

"The first thing I want to do if I get out of here is to find the warmest, fluffiest blankets I can and take a very long nap. I can technically do that here, but the thought of being killed in your sleep has been messing with my dreams lately. It's nice being able to rest without having to worry about bloodthirsty murderers, huh?"
Bow pauses.
"Actually, now that I think about it, the first thing I want to do is check up on my friends at home and maybe give them a big hug, assuming that they're OK with it. At this point, I'm... just tired with everything."

[Oggy123]

Nintendo then appears near the fireplace.

"When i'm out of here, i need to tell my friends at home about this."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi's also appeared in the doorway. Being in the cold's draining my fucking energy-man. You talking about friends or some shit?

[KungFuCutbug]

"Not necessarily—aye, Voi! What's the first thing you're gonna do if you make it outta this hellhole alive?"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi looks to Sherry and the others. First thing I'd do? ...Probably lose my mind in the city. Hit the various bars and clubs, do something to get my mind off that stuff. Might try and get my hands on some money...try and find a friend of mine.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Sherry just sighs.] "Aye, that sounds about like what I'd do, too. Even mentioned it to Bow earlier—just wanna beeline to the nearest bar and get their hardest shit so I can forget about... well, all of this. Although..." [A pause.] "...guess I wouldn't wanna forget everything. Most of the people I met here—asshole bosses and Reisen notwithstanding—you guys are actually pretty chill. Maybe depending on who's still alive by the end of this, I could come visit some of you. I'd offer to bring you to Punta Ceniza, but ah... not really survivable for outsiders, friendly as the folks there may be..."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Sounds...pretty nice, actually. Know some people who would love to meet you guys, actually. Or take any reason to get out of the city. There's a lot of nice people there, but. They tend to be powerless at times. That would definitely be something anyone would want to do.

[Oggy123]

"Well, i got a few friends back home. Me and my buddies go way back... When i come home, i need to let them know about this."

Nintendo then looks at the others.

"Do you have any friends where you came from?"

[Cassie]

"..."

Before he could answer Nintendo, the snowball strikes his head badly and he falls over.

"OW-"

[Caret]

"Like I mentioned earlier have some friends back home... well, the place I call home. Most of them pretty chill; they can be quirky at times, but that doesn't really matter. I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't mind meeting you all. Alexis, the music-loving friend I mentioned a while back, would be happy to see that I made new friends!"

Bow pauses.

"Now that I think about it... I don't really have a proper place to call home, huh? Not since my trainer and I split paths. I mean, the place that I usually live in does provide for me, but... I don't know."

[Cassie]

GAME PAUSED. ESTIMATED TIME OF RESUMING IS DECEMBER 3RD, 6:00 PM CST.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Voi just sighs. Please. Please tell me it felt like a few weeks passed just now for you as well. I'm not going fucking insane, right.

[Cassie]

GAME'S STARTED AGAIN BOIS

[KungFuCutbug]

[You can see Sherry entering the cabin and dusting snow off of her cloak.] "Phew. Needed that break."

[Caret]

For some reason, it feels like two weeks have passed since Bow made that last remark.

"Nope, it isn't just you. How strange..."

[KungFuCutbug]

[An awkward pause.]

"...Wait, it hasn't been several weeks? Santa mierda, how long was I outside for?"

[Caret]

"Or... maybe it was indeed two weeks? Gah, I'm losing my sense of time here." The Slyveon suddenly remembers also taking break. ...what? "And I think I'm losing my grip on my memory, too."

[KungFuCutbug]

"Ffffuuuuck, this is giving me a headache..." [Sherry lies down on a couch, rubbing her forehead with the back of her hand.] "...You know, Voi, we just might all be going insane!"

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I am not fucking insane and I am offended you'd even imply that shit.
