In a dark room located a few floors below the bar, a meeting is taking place. “So, you wish to join the mafia?” asks one of the members, cracking his knuckles as he speaks. “Yes, I’m tiring of being just some small-time crook, who makes a couple thousand robbing clueless vacationing Aha’karthi. I want to get into the big time so I can get a few million space creds, go off to some vacaion planet with my lover, and not have a single responsiblity.” “Alright, we will accept you into the family. Remember, if you cross us, nothing will stop us once we find out.”, he said grimly. Night is over. No one was killed. Mafia now has the tourist traitor.

**jonmarzie, aaaarrgg, topaz, mr2001, and aesiron** all sat at the bar. Ryle Dup sat in the bartender’s chair, holding a vial in his hand. It was a vial of Martian Dust, a powerful drug that gave people a high unattainable from any Earth drug. It was named Martian Dust because it would briefly turn the skin an unnatural crimson color. It was very potent stuff, fast acting and something very easy to overdose on. He would pour some into the tourist’s drinks, claiming it was something benign like Carian Sugar, to add flavor. He would tell any investigators that someone had slipped something into the drinks while he wasn’t watching, whoever it was most likely being mafia. As he was about to pour the drinks, Aesiron walked over, stumbling as he walked. He stank of vodka and orange juice. “That’s not how you do it!” he said, dumping the contents into the bottle of wine. He poured it into a jug, stirring well. “Thush way, everyboty getsh an equal amount” he said. He lead Ryle back to the table, stumbling and getting a few drops on the floor. Aesiron poured everybody a full glass of the drink. “Drink up!” said Aesiron, sipping and then chugging at the drink. He passed out a seconds later, the others believing it was because of all the other wine and vodka he had drank before. “Something wrong, Ryle?” asked Topaz, her cheeks already starting to turn rosy. “No, nothing wrong…” Ryle muttered, staring into his glass. He decided to go ahead with it, it would be better several innocents die for the life of one mafiso, than to manage to only kill one at nightime without being detected. He chugged the rest down. The others drank the rest of theirs, so on slumped over. They all ODed, cause ruled as tampering with the wine done by Mafia. When they went to Ryle’s room to pack up all his things to send to loved ones, they found a list of names with people killed by mafia ruled out. They decided that Ryle had crossed the other Mafia in some way, with them poisoning him and the others before he could do anything to warn the tourists.

“Wow, it’s like, totally Heaven’s Gate all over again. Too bad that news-guy isn’t around to report on it. I’m sure he’d like it.” Toaster was rather nonchalant about the whole mass-death thing; Toaster feels they should have been executed in a much cooler way, possibly involving robots. Robots are cool. Toaster put on a tinfoil hat shaped into the form of Sherlock Holmes’ famous hat. Not only does it protect and enhance, but it’s stylish! “Frankly, I think poiema’s been nau–what? Oh, oh, right. Well then. That confused lady over yonder, she didn’t even remember who was lynched and who was killed by the mafia? Pfah. **Mirror Image egamI rorriM** , what were you doing the night of April 31st? I don’t care what year, just tell me! I bet you were out shooting ponies for fun and profit, weren’t you? And you didn’t invite me! Obviously you’re guilty of something and I may as well assume it is murderation! Haha, no, I’m just kidding, you’re all right. I say you’re guilty, but you’re all right nevertheless.” **Vote: Mirror Image egamI rorriM** ---

The bear, who resided in his usual spot in the corner (my, aren’t there a lot of corners in this place?) wondered if the person called “Toaster” had any reasoning behind the vote. There were still 19 alive, not a great number, but better than 9… and lots of people still hadn’t been heard from. Like Mikie. What was WITH him, anyways? ---

**Lisa** knows who must be lynched, but she can’t bring herself to do it. The pain torments her almost as much as the zero gravity sickness. Whatever she does, she cannot let **Mirror Image emagI rorriM** die either–it’s just not fair! She’s always been so nice to **Lisa** … Lynch vote: **Mikie** : he’ll kill anything. ---
