Two people with a common goal can accomplish many things. Two people with a common enemy can accomplish even more.
ONCE UPON A TIME MAFIA There is something strange going on in Storybrooke. Ever since the newcomers arrived and the town clock started ticking, the residents have each been feeling a sense of deja vu, as if there is something they should know, something tickling at the edges of their minds. And something -- or someone -- that doesn't want them to remember... The Town of StorybrookeThe town of Storybrooke must defeat the Villains and Mr. Gold in order to win the game. Archie Hopper (aka Jiminy Crickett). He is the conscience and voice of reason of the town. Astrid (aka Nova the fairy). Nova is a fairy-in-training. She's a little bit of a screw up, but she means well. August Booth (aka Pinnochio). He is not the most trustworthy person and is prone to being a bad boy. David Nolan (aka Prince Charming). Charming is the true love of Snow White. Dr. Whale (aka Victor Frankenstein). Each night he will protect a player of his choice (not himself or the same person twice in a row). Emma Swan. She is the daughter of Charming and Snow. Henry. Biological son of Emma, adopted son of Regina, and the cutest kid ever. Henry knows all the fairy tales and reads about them in his book. Jefferson (aka The Mad Hatter). He is a weird and insane dude with a fondness for hats. Leroy (aka Grumpy). Grumpy isn't a people person and he is always suspecting something bad to happen. He will harass and block someone he chooses during the night cycle. Mary Margaret Blanchard (aka Snow White). The fairest of them all. Wife of Charming, mother to Emma, and grandmother to Henry. Mother Superior (aka The Blue Fairy). The most powerful fairy in all the realm Ruby (aka Red Riding Hood, aka Big Bad Wolf). Red is an intuitive woman and, as the Wolf, an excellent tracker who can investigate one player each night. Widow Lucas (aka Granny). She owns Granny's Diner. Belle. A beautiful woman who loves an ugly man. The VillainsFor the Villains to win, Mr. Gold must be dead and the Villains must outnumber the remaining members of Storybrooke. Cora (aka Queen of Hearts). The mother of Regina, Cora is a cruel and heartless woman. Once in the game, she can choose to take a living player's heart, granting her their allegiance. Emma is immune to this, and an attempt to take Emma's heart will forfeit the ability. A player converted to mafia allegiance will lose any abilities related to his or her present role. Captain Hook. The infamous Captain Hook is charming in a dastardly kind of way. Regina Mills (aka the Evil Queen). The person responsible for bringing the curse upon the fairy take characters, Regina is loathed and feared by all. The Independent Mr. Gold (aka Rumplestiltskin). He must be the last player standing to win the game. Each night he will alternate between investigating, night killing, and adding an extra lynch vote to any player of his choice for the next day cycle. If he successfully kills Hook, he will gain the ability to ally himself with 1 player in the game of his choice. If this occurs, his win condition will change to include both himself and his partner surviving the game.

Chapter One: Under the Curse "I'm done reading about heroes. I want to be one." --Henry The residents of Storybrooke wake up to a startling and gruesome headline this morning in the Daily Mirror:
TWO MURDERED, KILLER AT LARGE
Two Storybrooke residents had been found brutally murdered around 1 A.M. in the alley behind Granny's Diner. The newspaper doesn't identify the victims, but everyone is curious - and frightened. It's one too many unexplained events for this sleepy little town.
Molly has a few extra minutes this morning, and after seeing the headline decides to swing by the diner. She isn't the only one. It seems like everyone in town is there discussing the murder. There are no empty tables. Molly takes a seat at a table with Aryn and Eliza.
"Does anyone know who it was?" Molly asks as she arranges her coat on the back of her chair. Aryn and Eliza shake their heads.
Eliza gestures around the crowded diner. "Everyone is speculating, but by the time the diner opened, the bodies had been removed, and the sheriff's office hasn't released the names. I'm really creeped out."
Rin walks by on her way to the table she is sharing with Nicole, Crystal, and Gabby, and leans over to greet them. "Everyone is creeped out. Did you hear how they found the bodies? The night crew at the diner was taking out the trash, and literally tripped over them. Blood was everywhere." All four women shudder at the thought.
Suddenly, the door to the diner bursts open and Stephanie stumbles in, breathing hard. Had she run there? She raises both hands. Everyone looks over as she clears her throat. The diner falls silent.
"I found out who died," Stephanie announces. She pauses to take a handkerchief out of her pocket and lift it to her mouth, milking the moment just a little bit. It's not every day you get to announce the victims of a bloody small-town murder.
"Well, who was it?" Kallie calls out from her seat near the window.
Stephanie lets a few more seconds pass while she swallows the lump in her throat, and then she says, "It was Brooke and Steph."
The diner erupts with gasps and babble, the noises all blending together. The townspeople reel from the shock. Brooke and Steph! They're two of Storybrooke's most beloved residents! Everyone loves them - everyone! And for them both to be murdered and left in an alley is absolutely unthinkable. How could this have happened?
Some of the diners are crying. Sarina wails Brooke and Steph's names pathetically. Becky sucks her thumb. But the atmosphere abruptly shifts when Shan stands up, scraping her chair loudly as she shoves it back.
"Listen to me!" The diner falls silent again. "We can't let the killer get away with this. Steph and Brooke were the heart and soul of this town. I say we all help find the killer and show him what happens to people who mess with Storybrooke!"
There are cheers and shouts of agreement from many of the people packed into the diner. "What if the killer wasn't working alone?" calls out Lindsay.
Ash leaps to her feet. "Then we'll find them all! There are more of us than there are of them. I'll avenge Steph and Brooke if it's the last thing I do!" she shouts.
Everyone is on their feet now, swept up in the fervor of grief for their beloved Steph and Brooke, and determination to find the killers. The few people in the room who feel...differently...are quite good at blending in, and pretend to be bereaved and angry along with the rest. But as they discreetly meet each other's eyes, they exchange small smiles of satisfaction. They won't be discovered. They'll make sure of it.
Day One is beginning. You have until 10pm EST on Friday to decide who to lynch.

THE ALMIGHTY RULES:
1. Mafia is fun. So have fun.
2. Nobody is allowed to talk about their role in mafia to other players unless they have BTSC (behind the scenes contact) with other players.
3. Once you receive your role, reply to me to let me know that you have gotten it and with any questions you may have. Once you have replied, you may begin posting in the mafia thread.
4. Each day and night cycle will last for a maximum period of 24 hours. Each day cycle will end when everyone has voted for a player to be lynched. Or, when the time expires.
5. Once you have been lynched or are killed, you are out of the game and no longer allowed to post in the game thread or to contact any players about the game.
6. Ask all questions about your role in a PM to Brooke or me. Do NOT ask them in the game thread because that would be cutting your own throat basically.
7. Absolutely NO role outing or hinting (along the lines of "you guys I hinted at my role many times, look and seeee" or "I know who blah blah blah is..." or "I think so an so is (insert role)" This diminishes the fun of the game and takes away from the mystery. Feel free to speculate privately or in a BTSC group if you are part of one, but NOT in thread. Doing so will result in punishment!!
8. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
