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

[PointMaid]

...I guess I don't really have much of a choice but to take that promotion, huh?

[Florien]

Yeah, the murdererss won. Congratulationss! Woo! Very impresssive. Firsst time ssince the firsst time!

Alsso as a reward for not dying all of you can requesst anything within reasson from uss and alsso get a full pardon for any crimess committed before today that we care about. You too Karma, you can requesst ssomething, you were good about thiss all.

[TheOtherCG]

"Not sure if I count, but can you please spend back in time so I can be with my family? I came from the Russian Empire, 1916 A.D."

[PopcornPie]

"By the way..." Double said cheerily. "Bit's death? It was on me, darling."

[TheOtherCG]

"Also, if you allow second requests, can I also explain what I did to Team Innocent?"

[PointMaid]

Karma growled at Double.

You know what I'm going to ask for? The keys to the orphanage pound where I grew up, and the biotech company that bought me. So I can give the little puppies a better life than I had.

[PopcornPie]

Double grins wider at Karma. "So, how was my audition? I know I was unintentionally coming off as a complete idiot, but this is a new type of production for me, so I wasn't entire sure how to play."

[Florien]

Yeah yeah yeah, ssure, we can fuck up time and drop you off there, Ana.

Eassy. And probably for the besst, honesstly. You go to a sstassissed world they all have nobility, and they all ssuck. You're going to a world where thingss occasssionally turn out fine though. Sso that'll be great. And ssure, explain why you're being a traitor. Floran did not ssee that coming and it was pretty cool actually.

Sendri turns next to Karma.

Anyway, yeah, you're a lieutenant colonel now, Karma! All we need to do for you to get you there iss put in a transsfer requesst to the sspecial operationss department. Pre-approved of coursse, and give you unchecked authorization. You'll be able to fix that problem and any otherss you ssee in the context of your origin sstory.

Then to Double and Coel.

Floran jusst needss your requesstss. We have a lot of ressourcess, intergalacticnesss doess help with having lotss of sstuff.

[PopcornPie]

Double's smile fades, their boot taps against the floor. Uh...What was their motive in the first place again? "Well...This is awkward. In all the excitement, I have forgotten what I went into this universe for."

[Florien]

Uhh...

Floran can pay you market rate for a few high-level assasssinationss and let you on your way. Or sscore you a job in the propaganda film indusstry if you're into acting. Or pretty much anything within reasson probably. Or you could jusst take it as a favor owed and call uss in when you think of ssomething.

[PopcornPie]

"Well, it looks like you do have a dead judge there."

[TheOtherCG]

Anastasia sighed and glares at the Innocents, tearing up.
"I'm sorry. I was the Whistleblower and I switched slides at the last minute. As the game progressed, my desire to make it out alive and see my family - my sisters - Olga, Tatiana, and Maria - increased. I knew that the Innocents' chance of winning was diminishing by each day, so I was even more determined to survive, even thinking of a way to get the killers' attention when lights are off so I can join their side. Then Coel approached me, asked me for my role, which I did. He then explained that he'll guarantee my safety if I vote off Inez."
Now Anastasia is bawling, the sincere tears flowing like a river.
"I'm sorry everyone! I'm sorry, Inez! I'm sorry, Lloyd! I only wanted to be reunited with my sisters!"

[Florien]

Hey, I won every bet! Fuck yeah! Everyone else, choke on that! Stick that in your orifices and absorb it!

Shut the fuck up, Hyeck.

Yeah! Shut up Hyeck!

Annnyway, moving on. Talk about what you want if you haven't already decided before we releasse you back into the wild, and once that'ss done, we're ssending you where you want to be dropped off. And then, floran will bassk in the increasse in ssapient-rightss sscore that thiss exissting caussed due to weird edge casess in the calculation matrix.

[TheOtherCG]

Anastasia realized that all of the Innocents that aren't Karma are dead, so she stops for a moment. She tries to stop crying but the guilt of being responsible for two deaths by proxy overwhelm her.
"Olga, Tatiana, Maria... I'm coming home..." She murmured.

[PopcornPie]

Double just shrugs. "I will take you up on the 'favor' part, I suppose. Just call me if you ever need an actor. Either way, I would like to be returned to Etheria. I wouldn't want to stay in a world where you might not wake up tomorrow." They hold up Bow's cape and sigh.

[TheOtherCG]

"O-Oh, Coel, Double, Karma. I lied about the Butt Dart thing. I didn't find any dart mark on my body but I thought it'll be funny if I said I found it on my butt crack." Anastasia smiled despite all of her tears.

[PopcornPie]

"Wait, really?" Double laughs. "Well, I think that was the night Kiryu was darted, not you!"

[TheOtherCG]

"I did get darted that night, but I don't want to get into any arguments. While I'm grateful that you let me live, I am curious on why you and Coel made a gambit to try to recruit me. Did you discover my role, Double?"

[TheOtherCG]

^ Oof, I think "gamble" might've fitted better than "gambit" there.

[PopcornPie]

"No, actually. I put my mind to arguing my innocence. Coel was coming yp with the script, I was just doing my part where it was applicable."

[Florien]

Alright, favor granted. Here'ss an official bit of paper for it. You can call uss up any time you want uss to fix ssomething in the future, and we'll get you where you want to go. Only Coel's left, and floran figuress he'll be a bit. "Time magic" they ssay.

(read: it's late in ten's timezone and he is probably not awake.)

Sendri quickly signs a napkin with their name and a few extra words, but doesn't put it on a table to sign it. It's a bit of a mess, but somewhat legible. Sendri gives it to Double Trouble.

Call it in whenever.

[TheOtherCG]

Anastasia finds a nearby chair to sit on. She hums to herself as she patiently waits to be sent back to her time.

[PopcornPie]

"Ah. Thank you."

Then they sit down and prepare for their transport back home, still trying to think about what they came here for in the first place.

[PointMaid]

The hair on Karma's back is raised and her nose is twitching, but she's patient, too.

...There isn't any point, right? There's nothing she can do to make things right. And that depresses her.

[PopcornPie]

Double begins to fidget with themselves, shifting their hair and tail into different forms.
