Mafia Scooby Doo Mafia: Final Update: Answers (4/10/18)

[Lone_Garurumon]

“So, this is going well.” Elementar said as he took a look around at the event that the F&G Mods had organised.

Roughly a month after the departure of Maniacal Engineer for his new position as admin, the Mods had found themselves running out of events that the former Section Head had planned. This left the group with little choice but to conceive their own event within the section. Being the newer of the Mods, the trio of DarthWolf, Elementar, and Lone_Garurumon were selected to plan and organise things, Soaring Dylan and Rainbow Cloud eager to see what they would come up with. After throwing around a few ideas, they eventually decided on an event not unlike the Halloween sockpuppet parties of old, simply without the sockpuppets (Dylan had enough of those already). Unlike the sockpuppet parties however, this event would have a theme: The Scooby Doo franchise. The thread was made and the event was in full swing, and true to Elementar’s comment, was going quite well. The users, dressed in either the outfits or complete costumes of various characters, all seemed to be having a great time, much to the mods’ pleasure.

“Those three were a nice touch too.” DarthWolf said, referring to the sister trio of Feenie, Space, and FinalArcadia who were currently on stage performing as a band dressed as The Hex Girls. “How did you know those three could play like that?” He asked Rainbow Cloud.

“When you’re a Super Mod you get to know these things.” He replied cryptically. The mods themselves had decided to have a theme in their costumes as the 5 members of Mystery Inc. Darth, true to his canine nature, was dressed as Scooby. The red-haired Elementar had volunteered to dress as Daphne, but had abandoned the heels for ordinary sneakers a few minutes into the event. Soaring Dylan had donned the guise of Fred. Rainbow Cloud was dressed as Velma, and, in an ironic twist, was unable to see with the glasses, and so needed fakes with no lenses. Lone_Garurumon had come as Shaggy, and was currently embracing the character by stuffing his face from the buffet table… Or maybe that was just LG being LG.

“Well, I think it’s safe to say that this event was a complete success.” Dylan claimed proudly. It was at that moment that all of the lights cut out. Rainbow Cloud’s voice was still audible in the darkness however.

“You just had to say something.”

Various sounds of moving, confusion, and eventually violence could be heard in the darkness as the users attempted to figure out what had just happened. Eventually the lights came back on in the room, revealing that the room was a lot emptier than it was before they went out. DarthWolf quickly spun around trying to see if anyone else was in the room with him, to reveal that all 5 mods were still present, but everyone else had vanished.

“What the hell just happened?” Rainbow Cloud demanded of the three younger mods.

“Wha- You can’t seriously think this was planned!” Lone_Garurumon said incredulously. “Oh, yeah, we’ll just kidnap the users in the middle of the party. That’ll go down well with everyone!”

“Now, now, now,” A deep voice echoed through the room. “Arguing amongst yourselves? That’s not going to be very helpful.” The assembled mods looked towards the stage that the sisters were until recently performing on, which was currently filled with smoke as a giant figure appeared, cloaked in all black and a polygonal mask. “Moderators of Fun and Games. For quite some time now your section has been an indomitable fortress, repelling any and all threats, both from within and without. The keys to your victories have been the staff, especially your old section heads, Enzap and Maniacal Engineer. Both were good men, brave leaders and defenders of the section, more than a match for me. Unfortunately for your users, I don’t think any of you live up to any of those qualities. But I am a sporting man, so I’ll give you a chance. I’ve taken the users and hidden them somewhere in this building. Find and rescue them, and I’ll leave your section alone. Fail to find them however… Well, let’s just say that you’d better hope to find them. You have until sunrise.” The figure parted with a bow and vanished just as a plate, thrown by Rainbow Cloud, flew through the air right where it had been standing.

“Dammit.” He muttered as his attack amounted to nothing. “We have to find the users.” He said to the others

“Well gang,” SoaringDylan said as he cracked his knuckles. “Looks like we’ve got us a mystery to solve.”

Before the mods could begin searching for clues to solve the case with, an ear piercing shriek filled the room. The mods all looked up towards the source of the sound, to see a green pterodactyl perched on the rafters. The Pterodactyl Ghost. The mods all dived for cover as it swooped down to attack them as it let out yet another shriek. As it turned around to make another pass, Lone_Garurumon jumped out from behind the table.

"Hey, Ugly!" He called out to get its attention. He grinned as it swooped to attack it. He struck a dramatic pose and let out a shout, "Lone_Garurumon! Digivolve tooooooooo!" He was promptly blown off his feet as the Pterodactyl Ghost slammed right into him, completely unchanged. The Pterodactyl Ghost landed on the floor next to LG and bent down to pick him up, before having a chair broken across its back by Elementar. The Pterodactyl Ghost whipped around, intending to strike Elementar as well, before seeing the other mods brandishing similar weapons. Deciding to cut its losses, the Pterodactyl Ghost took to the air and disappeared back into the rafters. LG groaned.

"LG, are you ok?" Elementar asked, kneeling down to help LG sit up.

"I don't think out mod powers are working." He groaned.

"You mean you didn't realise?" Rainbow Cloud asked. "Didn't you even try to use yours when that giant showed up earlier?"

"I was waiting for one of you guys to do something to throw him off guard first. Mine isn't exactly subtle you know."

"You think that whoever's doing this is blocking our mod powers?" DarthWolf asked.

"But that shouldn't be possible. Not for someone outside of the staff." RC said. "And even if they were part of the staff, they'd have to be someone higher ranked than us to do that. It couldn't be a staff member though... Could it?"

Nobody was lynched

Soaring Dylan addressed the rest of the mods. "Well, we're not gonna find out anything just standing here. Alright gang, let's split up and search for clues. RC, Elementar, and I will stay here and try and figure out how things happened here. Darth and Lone, the two of you head off and see if you can find any indication of where the users are." The others nodded and/or made sounds of affirmation. As they were about to begin their tasks however, they heard a clunk from underneath one of the tables. Approaching slowly, prepared for whatever may be lurking underneath, Darth flipped the table on its side, eliciting a surprised sound from the being beneath it. Fortunately, what they found underneath was no threat to them. Crouching underneath the table was Pika_Pika42, wearing a collar and facepaint to resemble Scrappy Doo.

"Pika? What are you doing under there?" LG asked.

"It sounded like people fighting and getting hurt when the lights went out, so I ducked under the table. Is it true that your mod powers aren't working?"

"Yeah, it's true." Darth replied. "But don't worry, we're still gonna find the others."

"Pika, do you think you can go with Darth and Lone?" Dylan asked. "I don't want to risk you being in danger if the Pterodactyl Ghost comes back.

***​

Darth, LG, and Pika were wandering the halls, searching for any sign of the other users.

"I dunno, have you seen anything?" LG asked the others.

"Nothing helpful." Darth replied. "What about you Pika?"

"Well, I think I can hear... Music?" Pika said as he cocked his head to try and discern a direction for the sound. Pausing for a moment, Darth and LG had to agree that they could definitely hear music. It was at that point that the lights in the halls went out.

"Crap, not again." Darth said. "Pika, hold on to one of us." Darth felt a hand grab on to his shirt. "Alright, good."

"Darth..." LG said. He grabbed onto me. Right?" Everything was silent for a few moments as both Darth and LG could feel a hand gripping their shirts. Both hands then released their grip as Pika's voice could be heard shouting.

"Hey! Let me go!" This was immediately followed by the sounds of footsteps dashing away from the mods. Both Darth and LG whirled around and dashed after them, but were unable to see in the darkness and simply wound up tripping over things and crashing into the wall. The lights came back on however, and Darth found the collar that Pika was wearing lying on the floor.

"Dammit."

You are a great dane pup and the nephew of Scooby Doo, though the identity of your parents and their specific relation to Scooby has never been stated. Despite your small size you are an incredibly feisty pup, constantly attempting to fight the monster, insisting that the other members of Mystery Inc. “let you at ‘em” so that you can deliver a dose of “puppy power”. However, given the fact you are still a pup, “puppy power” rarely gets you anywhere.


Due to this, you are a Vanilla, you have no special powers, and must solve the game using only your vote and your wit.

“Pika! Pika can you hear us?” Darth and LG were searching the halls, calling out for Pika_Pika42. They weren’t having much luck, partly due to the act that they had no idea which way he had actually been taken. After thinking for a moment, they’d decided to head towards the music that Pika had pointed out and attempt to kill two birds with one stone by solving the mystery of the music as well as try to find Pika. They seemed to be well on their way to finding the source of the music too, as it had been gradually getting close for some time. They eventually made their way into a reasonably sized room. “Pika, are you in here?”

“Now, now. And what are the two of you doing here?” A voice sounded in the room. It wasn’t deep and robotic like the masked figure however; this voice was smooth and calculating. “It’s rather dangerous here tonight. I’ve heard that people have been disappearing.” The speaker then revealed themselves atop a pile of boxes, revealing Professor Pericles. Or at least, somebody in a Pericles costume. “And the two of you, all alone, without your friends to help you.” Pericles spread his wings and swooped down to attack causing Darth and LG to dive out of the way. Pericles swung around in the air, flapping his wings as a real parrot would. When he turned around however, the mods were nowhere to be seen.

“What do we do?” LG asked Darth from behind the stack of boxes they had dove behind. Darth was about to poke out his head, but stopped to move something that was digging into his knees as he knelt on it. Noticing what he was kneeling on, he held part of it up to LG. The two mods exchanged a grin and nodded.

“Where did you go?” Pericles asked in a singsong voice from atop another stack of boxes. “You didn’t get scared and run away I hope. What’s this?” He asked as he turned to see LG sneaking along the wall towards the door. “There you are.” He said as he leapt off the boxes and swooped for LG. LG froze in place, and once Pericles got close, he revealed the metal pipe he’d grabbed and swung it with all his might at one of Pericles’ wings, which bent out of shape with a sickening creak of metal. This caused Pericles to spiral out of control, causing him to careen towards the stack of boxes that LG and Darth had dove behind. Darth then stuck his head out with a grin and threw the net he was previously kneeling on into the air. Pericles collided with the net, which, combined with his spiralling pattern through the air and his tumble as he collided with the ground, wrapped itself tightly around the parrot.

“Now,” LG said as he and Darth approached Pericles, whose head was miraculously poking out from the net unobstructed, “let’s see who ‘Professor Pericles' really is!” He pulled the mask off of Pericles’ head.

You are a parrot and the former pet of Ricky Owens of the original Mystery Inc. Much like Scooby, you are capable of speech and considerably more intelligent than other animals of your species. This is something that you are decidedly not humble about in the least. Criminally insane, you see others as your pawns to be used and removed once they have outlived their usefulness.


Due to being a parrot, it would be easy for people to underestimate you and not think of you as a threat. As such, you are a Godfather, any and all Cop checks on you will result in a Those Meddling Kids result.

The pair of mods gasped. “TheCapsFan!?” They cried in unison.

“We should probably go tell the others.” Darth said.

“Either of you find anything?” Elementar asked as the other three mods were searching for clues in the main room.

“I’ve got a bunch of smoke machines, projectors, and pyrotechnics,” SoaringDylan called from backstage, “but they were probably for the sisters’ performance.”

“Any brands on them?” Rainbow Cloud called from the rafters, where he was looking for clues about the Pterodactyl Ghost.

“Looks like they’re all from the Crystal COmpany.” It made sense. The Crystal COmpany had become one of the go-to producers for most products in F&G. They made a wide variety of products, and the quality was good.

“That doesn’t really tell us anything then.” RC said. “I was hoping it’d be something a little less widespread.”

“What about you RC?” Elementar called out. “Anything?”

“A few scratch marks along the beams, but aside from that, nothing.” RC’s head perked up however when he heard something clicking behind him. Seeing something moving in the darkness, he stood up as best he could among the rafters. “Guys?” He called. “We’ve got a situation up here.” Seeing the thing stop and ready itself, RC readied himself also. The Pterodactyl Ghost leapt forward, and RC ducked to the side, causing it to fly straight past. As the Pterodactyl Ghost caught itself on the next beam in line RC leapt onto its back and began pounding it. The ghost let out one of its trademark ear piercing shrieks, disorienting RC, and allowing it to throw the mod off of its back. RC managed to save himself from falling to the ground however by grabbing onto the beam.

“RC!” The other two yelled, and dashed over to the stairs that would take them up into the rafters as well. The Pterodactyl Ghost surprised RC however by grabbing his wrist and pulling him back up. It then took advantage of RC’s momentary surprise by hitting him on the head and knocking him out.

When Dylan and Elementar reached the rafters, all that remained of the struggle was the discarded glasses from Rainbow Cloud’s costume.

“Hey! Guys! We found something!” DarthWolf called as he and LG got back to the main room, LG lagging behind a bit due to being designated as the one to drag Caps along thanks to a lost game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.

“What did you find?” Dylan asked as they came back down the stairs, not having been able to find where the Pterodactyl Ghost had taken Rainbow Cloud.

“We found him attacking us.” LG said as he finally got Caps into the room.

“Caps?” Elementar asked as he beheld the former moderator. “So, what? You were bitter over losing your staff position and wanted revenge?”

“Oh, nothing so petty.” Caps replied. "And if you’ll recall, I quit. So even if I was I’d have no-one to blame but myself.”

“The motive isn’t important.” Dylan said as he pushed past Elementar. “Where are RC and the users?”

“Wait, RC? What happened to him?” LG asked before Caps answered.

“Oh, he managed to get him, did he?” Caps asked. “Regardless, that’s your job to figure out, I don’t get to tell you anything.”

“Wait a second.” Elementar said as he knelt down next to Caps. He inspected Caps’ wings, which were still bent from when LG had hit them and were poking out of the net. “These are made of metal. Was he actually using these to fly?”

“Yeah.” Darth replied. “He flew around the room and tried to dive bomb us, like the Pterodactyl Ghost did.”

“Hmm… No offence Caps, but I don’t think you could have made this on your own.” Elementar said.

“What do you mean?” Dylan asked.

“Well, these are made from metal, the sheer weight from the wings combined with Caps’ weight and humanoid body structure should make it impossible for him to fly with these. There must be something special about their engineering or construction. I’ll have to take a look at them later, but the Pterodactyl Ghost is probably using something similar.”

“So you think whoever’s in the Pterodactyl Ghost costume made them?” LG asked.

“Maybe. If we catch the Pterodactyl Ghost then we might be able to figure things out. They’d be a problem if we just let them go anyway.”

“Alright, let’s set up a trap!” Dylan said.

***​

“Man, why do we have to be the bait?” LG muttered to Darth as they got themselves into position in the rafters.

“I guess someone has to be.” Darth muttered back. “Ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.” LG then started to shout. “Hey! RC! You up here?”

“Can you hear us?” Darth continued. The two stopped when they heard clicking from behind them. They turned around to see the Pterodactyl Ghost preparing to strike. “There it is!” Darth shouted as the two of them jumped down from the rafters to avoid its lunge. Safely stopped from hitting the ground by the stage wires they were wearing, they hurriedly removed their harnesses and began to run. The Pterodactyl Ghost shrieked and dove for the mods. Darth and LG vaulted behind an upturned table shortly before the Pterodactyl Ghost could reach them. Suddenly, Elementar came up from behind the table and blasted one of the smoke machines directly into the Pterodactyl Ghost’s face. Using its moment of confusion, Dylan came up from behind yet another table, holding a net, and jumped onto the Pterodactyl Ghost’s back. The Pterodactyl Ghost attempted to struggle against Dylan’s attack, but this only served to get it more and more tangled in the net, until finally it couldn’t move at all.

“Now,” Dylan said, “let’s see just who’s under this mask.”

“What about these guys? Dylan asked, gesturing to Zexy and Caps.

“Just leave ‘em. They can’t cause any problems like this.” Elementar called back. As the mods dashed through the halls, they eventually ran into Feenie, Space, and FinalArcadia.

“Hey, it’s the sisters.” LG called as he stopped to talk to them. “You guys are ok?”

“Yeah, we uh, we got away.” Feenie said.

Feenie won in the endgame, they were a Singer aligned with Those Meddling Kids

You are a coven of 3 young wiccan eco goths who also perform as a band. Your shows typically feature large amounts of supernatural imagery in both the music and the performance such as false vampire fangs, pentagrams, and magical themes. Also noteworthy is your staying power with the series. You are 3 of a small group of characters to appear multiple times across various iterations of the franchise. Which becomes even more impressive when you consider that you originally appeared in a direct to video movie.


As a musical group, you are a Singer, if you are killed during the night then the mafia will be informed of the name of one role still alive in the game, but not who it belongs to or what it does.


You are aligned with Those Meddling Kids and win once all hostile forces have been eliminated.

“Just bring them along!” Elementar called back.

“Uhh, sure, just stick with us I guess.” LG said to the sisters before the group began to run again.

“Here it is.” Darth said as they reached the room that Caps has attacked in. Elementar paused for a moment before taking off again.

“This way!” He called as he headed in the direction where the music was loudest. They went through another few hallways before coming to a door where they could hear the music coming from. The assembled mods and the sisters prepared to enter.

Congratulations to Those Meddling Kids for winning the game!

Question time!
Did you enjoy the game?
What did you think of the balance?
If you could change one thing about the game, what would it be?
Did you enjoy the flavour text so far?
I tried something kind of experimental with the flavour text in this game: Making a story using themes and concepts from the game's theme, but not actually basing the story in the setting of the theme. Did you like this approach? Would you like to see such stories again?
A final update to the flavour text to conclude the story and reveal the mystery will come sometime in the next few days, but before that, who do you think is behind the mystery? Feel free to guess both character and motivation.

Wow, that was close I nearly posted this thing in an entirely different thread

Elementar turned back to the other mods and the sisters as they stood in front of the door. “Ready?” He asked them. The other mods nodded. Elementar opened the door. “Ok, so, this isn’t quite what I was expecting.” The door opened to reveal a party much like the one that had been crashed earlier. The users chatting, dancing, and generally having a good time as though nothing had even happened.

“This- But they’re- But the-” Dylan started a few times, attempting to find the words to take in the scene before them. “What the hell is going on!?” He eventually got out. The users stopped partying, looking over at the assembled mods.

“Oh hey, they figured it out.” Max1996 said.

“Nah, not quite.” MegaPod replied. “If they’d figured it out then they wouldn’t be surprised.”

“They did find us though.” Kyriaki interjected. “So that has to count for something.”

“Oh, guys, there you are!” Rainbow Cloud called as he got up from his seat.

“RC! What is all this?” LG asked.

“I have no idea. The Pterodactyl Ghost knocked me out, and when I came to I was in the middle of a party. I tried to get out and come find you, but the door wouldn’t open from this side.” Suddenly, the lights in the room flickered, though fortunately the users were still there when they came back on this time.

“So, moderators of Fun and Games!” The tell-tale deep voice of the polygonal masked villain boomed through the room. The mods looked around to find the source.

“There he is!” Darth shouted, pointing to the balcony in the back of the room.

“I see that you have located your users. How fortunate for you. However, you have yet to capture me.” He said as he turned and ran for the door on the balcony.

“After him!” Dylan shouted and the mods all dashed for the ladder, up to the balcony, and through the same door. “Split up, shout if you find them.” The assembled mods nodded and dashed down different hallways.

“Dammit, where is he?” RC wondered to himself as he dashed down random corridors, attempting to find the masked villain.

“Hey! Here he is!” DarthWolf’s voice echoed down the halls. “He’s heading… Uh… This way!” RC immediately slammed on the breaks and turned around to head in the direction Darth’s voice was coming from. After a few turns he found the masked villain running towards him, DarthWolf hot on his heels. As the masked villain saw RC coming however, he turned down a side corridor, intending to escape that way. If the eyes on the mask could widen, they would have, as the masked villain saw LG leaping down the hall before him.

“Got’cha!” LG shouted as he landed on top of the masked villain. LG then grabbed a hold of the mask and began pulling, attempting to get it off.

“LG, stop, you’ll break his neck!” Elementar shouted as he came down the hall from the direction of Darth’s corridor, Dylan following behind. “It’s attached to the rest of the costume, there’s a latch.” He said, reaching for the back of the villain’s neck and releasing the latch. LG then resumed pulling on the mask, coming cleanly off of the head this time. The assembled mods gasped as they beheld the face beneath.

“Maniacal Engineer!?” The cried in unison.

“But… Why?” Dylan asked, thoroughly confused.

“I had to be sure.” ME said as he pushed LG off of him and got to his feet.

“What?” RC asked.

“As you’re all no doubt aware, F&G is an… Eventful section.”

“Understatement of the year.” Darth muttered under his breath.

“Anyway,” ME continued, dragging back the attention of his audience, “when I left the section, I was confident that you’d all be able to handle the day to day running of the section. But I just couldn’t help but worry what would happen if something big happened again. You’ve never faced something like that by yourselves, you always had me to fall back on as Section Head. I needed to make sure that you’d be able to figure things out and protect the users. So, I devised a test. Yes, Elementar, a real test this time.” He added as Elementar opened his mouth to speak. “I simply hijacked your event, hid the users away, gave them their own private party, and challenged you to use your wits to solve the problem. For some added challenge I called in Caps and Zexy for some help messing with you, and temporarily revoked your mod powers for the duration.”

“So you just kidnapped the users and threw them in that room back there?” RC shouted. “What in god’s name made you think they were ok with that?”

“Are you kidding?” ME replied. “When I organised this with them and told them they’d get to mess with the mods they practically jumped at the chance. This whole thing was set up days in advance. Heck, they even decided to send Pika and the sisters back out to mess with you some more. We lost our live music while they were out, but they insisted. We would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling mods.” He added jokingly.

“So you… You actually…” RC said, failing to put into words his reaction to the revelation that he was abducted by a pterodactyl as a test.

“Either way. You succeeded in both locating the users, and taking me down. Naturally things won’t be quite this simple in a real scenario, but I’m confident that I’m leaving the section and the users in capable hands. Now come on, let’s get back to the party, I’m sure you could all use it after tonight.”
