[Mafia] Your Final Frontier: Go 4th and perish!

[Florien]

...Iss that yourss? NEW HYDROXYL DID YOU LEAVE MOONSHINE IN THE

I don't drink, Director. Is it Hyeck's?

Don't be an idiot. It's probably...

It's mine. I left it in there for them. They should at least have the capacity to get drunk before you space them all. Now enjoy, that's the best gin I could get for you kids.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Apparently they all want us to kill each other for their sick entertainment.

[Florien]

Ssick entertainment and becausse ssome analyssstss ssay it'll boosst our "ssapient rightss sscore" for ssome fucking reasson if we broadcasst it even no one can actually watch it. Fun AND profit. And international relationss profit!

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Not sure how it's "entertainment" if no one gets to see my face, but. They won't get away with this, we'll do all we can to stop this activity, apologizes to our loyal consumers, I forgot the whole spiel I usually do at my job when we deal with enemies. But..." Bit takes another sip.

"We can agree this is fucked."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Let me have some of that, Lloyd says before taking a sip himself and grumbling more raspier than what his normal smoke-tarnished voice sounds like.

[Caret]

"Only sadists would call this "entertainment". Kidnapping random people and forcing them to partake in a death show for "crimes" you probably made up sounds like the rêve de fièvre of a raving psychopath."

"...I'll pass on l'alcool. I prefer to remain in a clear state of mind in case somebody tries to mess with me."

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Your loss if you're a lightweight. Now, summarize, has anyone died yet?

[Florien]

Eh. Look, it was either thiss, wall-liness bang bang shooty pew pew, or public hanging and/or decapitation.

And believe floran, people as a rule generally like watching otherss die. It'ss not necesssarily pssychotic. Now, thiss game? Maybe a little. But public executionss, they were EVENTSS back in the day. Sstill are, in ssome placess. Sstill are here. Point iss, you're being given a hell of a lot of mercy for not being dead in a ditch ssomewhere in your home territory.

Alsso if floran was actually a ssadisst floran would take a wayyyyy more active role in our torture facilitiess. Iss not ssadisst, iss... jusst not really having other optionss as what to do. Like, what'ss floran going to do otherwisse? Intergalactic bootlegging ssysstem to get all the moviess and showss? Like, that'ss a good usse for ressearch, but bleh. Thiss getss thingss done AND mildly entertainss floran, and givess us a chance to usse all thesse bassses in the middle of nowhere.

Dan died! He fell through the floor! And Doctor Clef's head exploded from anger before he got here!

SHUT UP DAN DIDN'T EXIST.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

No, not yet. And that's the keyword: yet.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"I'm assuming this Dan fellow doesn't count in "yet." So, if you all are too scared to kill, then I think I'll be just fine. And if you're not, I still think I'll come out of this fine. I'm guessing they're offering you something if you do it. Amnesty? Cash? The opportunity to not have your family in here as well?

[Florien]

Amnessty, reward, and alsso we'll jusst straight up leave you in writhing agony for multiple dayss if you don't with thiss new control chip. It shouldn't explode anymore.

Alsso it doessn't actually control anything it jusst caussess pain becausse that verssion was ssuper fucking expenssive and they blew up.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Wow. Days of debilitating pain. Fucking love that." If you couldn't tell, the sarcasm is drenching from Bit's voice.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All this talk about getting killed and being left for dead somewhere. And honestly, I'd think I would have preferred that to being locked up in this hellhole. At least you'd have gotten the middleman out of the way.

[Florien]

Annnyway, there'ss three murdererss and one who will betray you insstead of dying if the murdererss go for them. Sso uhh

yeah

[Caret]

"So in addition to the killers, there's also someone ready to betray us. How wonderful! I love betrayal. It makes life more interesting. Imagine finding out that one of your best friends is actually a spy for another party, and then boom! Adieu les bons moments, bonjour la souffrance ! Because life can't be all happy-go-lucky, right?" Bow's voice is absolutely oozing with sarcasm.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"From what I've, anyone willing to betray is willing to betray again. Maybe we've just got to auction that off, get a better offer than whatever the banana running their banana republic can offer."

[Florien]

Hey hey hey floran likess the banana republic aessthetic, but floran got here on floran'ss own. Didn't need ANY corporation or government to back floran up. Floran turned a group of unremarkable extortionisstss and raiderss into... extortionisstss and raiderss with a flag floran guesssses. Oh and territorial holdingss and citizenry.

The point iss what consstitutess a nation iss kind of blurry and we have international and intergalactic recognition AS a nation at leasst.

[Zanreo]

"So we got killers here? Uh, not that I'm worried! They wouldn't dare to fuck with me, or even betray me! But having people kill eath other, and just for entertainment? I like a good fight, but that's fucked up... Hey, lemme have some! "Kiryu" grabs the bottle and takes a sip.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

I don't think going with all these bold thoughts would help out too much here, saying no one will kill us and we'll all get out alive. Trust me; I know from personal experience. I done something foolish back in the cabin and got cocky I'll pull through, too. Then I ended up dying back there.

[Zanreo]

"Hang on, you died and came ba- nevermind. Sucks to hear, but just 'cause you couldn't live up to your claims doesn't mean I won't!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Yeah, thank to some representations of Life and Death. My group got rid of the Death Cultists so the ones who were killed, such as myself, were brought back to life. But these people here won't show any mercy, I guarantee that. So I suggest you pull your head out of your ass before you drown in your bullshit. Just trust me, pal.

[Zanreo]

"Oh, guess you're not aware of my reputation? Whoever makes the mistake of challenging me will soon find that Kazuma Kiryu will show no mercy against them either! Hahaha!

"Also, sounds wild... mainly asking because, well, some people will claim similar things happened to me, just as far I'm aware without all the death cultist shit and Life and Death representations or whatever that was, I just got revived somehow. ...But that never really happened, ya hear me? Because truth is... I was never actually killed in the first place! he says unconvincingly.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

All Lloyd can do is stare at "Kiryu" like he's the world's biggest idiot before he takes another sip.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

"Kazuma Kiryu. Hm. Sounds vaguely familiar, but can't put my finger on it. What's your reputation, then? Better impress me."

[Caret]

Bow chuckles.

"Oh Kiryu, you are totally convincing. What's next? Are you going to march into the judging area and throw hands with Dictator Grasstype?"
