Deadpool's Derivative Detention
 

Day 1

Inside the detention hall of GB School 20, a man in a red and black jumpsuit and mask sat at his desk twiddling his thumbs as he looked around the empty room. After a minute or so of waiting, he then stands up and -

“Alright, alright! Enough with the opening exposition, Narrator Guy!” Deadpool exclaimed as he came around to the front of his desk. He then leaped on top of it and immediately sat down, legs crossed and then reached down and grabbed a small remote device off the desk.

“I’ll take over from here, OK? You just do your whole narrating thing when I’m not talking. For right now, I see a red button on this thing and I - well, I just can’t resist. I have to press it!”

Within a second after he presses the button, there is a flash of light around one of the empty desks and then a small man appears in the seat. He’s dressed in a beige shirt with a green cloak pinned around his neck. He looks around the room and then sees Deadpool and he sits up straighter in the chair.

“Who are you? What is this place? Where’s Sam?” Frodo Baggins exclaims.

Deadpool claps his hands together giddily and says, “Oh Joy! My own little hobbitses. Welcome to my detention center, Frodo. I’ll explain everything else in a moment, but first, let me push this button some more.”

Each time he presses the button, a new figure appears in a flash in one of the remaining thirteen desks in the room, until all fourteen are full. At one of the desks, Donald Trump sits with his face looking down at his cell phone in his hand, not even noticing his whereabouts.

“Excuse me, Donny,” Deadpool says politely. “If you put your phone down for a second and stop tweeting, we can begin.”

Trump looks up and then realizes he is no longer in the Oval Office. “Wait a minute. Who are you? You look familiar. Aren’t you one of those comic book guys from DC or whatever?”

“Actually, he’s from Marvel, um, ah, Mr. President,” replies Ellen Degeneres from one of the other desks. “But it’s ok, I know you aren’t uh - you aren’t in touch with that kind of thing, so …”

“Ellen Degeneres?” Trump says as he realizes who spoke to him. “What are you doing here? Where are we?”

“I was trying to answer that, Donny, but Ellen cut me off. Very rude, Ellen. Bad girl.” Deadpool says.

“Sorry Deadpool, or, or is it Ryan?” Ellen asks with a smile on her face. “I mean, you are Ryan Reynolds, right? Is this some kind of Marvel publicity thing, or what?”

“Ah ah ah, Ellen,” Deadpool replies. “Ryan is just my pet name.” He then gestures towards the whole room of people. “You all may just call me Deadpool, or DP, if you’re into that sort of thing. You know what I’m talking about, don’t ya, Austin?”

“Yeah baby!” Exclaims Austin Powers who smiles excitedly. “DP is my bag, baby, yeah.”

“That's right you sexy British bastard. SO! Anyway … You all are here because I chose you for my fun times, or because you have done some bad things. Some are even really bad, like being a horrible president that is mocked all over the world.”

Trump looks up from his phone and says, ”How dare you. You have no idea how much power I have. I can - “

“Shoosh you! The grownups are talking,” Deadpool interrupts. “Besides, you have no power here. I’m freaking Deadpool. This is my game. My rules, and I’m in charge. Don’t you know anything about me. I can do whatever I want.”

In one of the back seats, Frodo sat quietly trying to figure out what exactly was going on. As he sat nervously, he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see his companion from his journey, Boromir, sitting behind him.

“Boromir! You’re here as well? How did we get here?”

“Shhh Frodo,” Boromir said quietly. “I’ve no idea how we came to be in this place, but we’d best keep quiet, so as to not draw attention to ourselves. You’ve still got the ring, don’t you?”

Frodo reached up to the chain around his neck and clasped the ring that was looped through it.

“I do, yes.”

“Good then. Keep it hidden. We can’t trust anyone around here. In fact,” he said as he held out his hand. “You can give it to me for safety.”

“The ring will be just fine with me. Now lets see what we can figure out about our situation. It appears this man in red knows alot, so let's listen to him.”

Frodo slowly turned his gaze from Boromir and turned back towards the front where Deadpool was busy trying to place a toy car on top of a large man’s head.

“Backoff butthead!” Biff Tannen yelled as he knocked the car away. “You come near me again and you’ll be sorry.”

“I couldn’t help it, Biff, it’s just ... how do you get that flat top hair so … flat?” Deadpool asked.

“Can we get, like, get on with it, man,” said Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski as he leaned back in his chair and propped his leg over the desk. “I mean, I’m not gettin’ a very good vibe from this place, man. So tell us what’s going on.”

“It’s simple, Dude,” Deadpool answered. “Some of you guys are really bad and some of you aren’t. It’s up to all of you to figure out who’s the bad guys and who’s the good. It’s called Mafia. I’m sure Ken can tell you all about it. He’s the resident know it all and a TOTAL nerd, so I know he’s played it.”

“Actually, I have,” Ken Jennings replied with a proud smile on his face. “I can tell everyone if you want.”

“See there? I knew Jeopardy boy could be helpful.”

As Ken began to tell the rest of the group how the mafia game worked, Deadpool lounged on his back on his desk, casually tossing a grenade up into the air and catching it. Ignoring the rest of the room, Trump looked down at his phone and began a Google search, mumbling the words as he typed, “Who …. Is … deadpool ….. SEARCH.”

Gregory House turned away from Trump in frustrated disgust. “What an idiot,” he said as he began listening to Ken explain more about the game.

NOTE

This Day 1 narrative does not include every character. The rest will be mentioned or used as the other narratives are posted.

I didn't want to bog it down with 14 characters from the get go.

Play on!

Is detention still a thing?

I think it is if Deadpool says it's still a thing.

Detention?

Interesting cast of characters, even though we don’t have the full list yet.

We just need Alex Trebek as host instead lol. Or Dante should change his avatar to Deadpool

Done!

Never let it be said that I don't give the people what they want.:D

I mean, here we are, in detention, at Deadpool's behest. So it must still be a thing.

Are we gonna have to write thems about why we're here? Who's gonna make us?

<actually just posting to subscribe to thread>

I can confirm detention is still a thing. My kiddo has been sent. He quickly perfected the art of slipping out a side door and heading to the playground. Not that I would ever suggest doing that to Mr. Deadpool. I look forward to unmasking our villains.

(Unmasking. Trump. See what I did there?)

Imma vote the new guy...



...to welcome him to the club!

Or is it "her"?

Come on, guys. This is the first time I've ever played, and you want to kill me right off the bat? I weep. Vantablack tears.

Gonna hide under this desk here.

Not necessarily kill, per se. But perhaps to judge how you might react. We got a ways to go before the actual killing part.

I got my PM.

I don't even know what to post here. Im

I'm apparently pressing the post button before I'm finished. Where was I? Oh, yeah

I'm really excited to be playing Mafia again.

Dante do you need us to confirm receipt of role pm?

How quickly do I get lynched if I go back and try my "vote random until a better reason comes along" strategy that was so unpopular?

For some reason, it takes me forever to look at avatars. HC that's a very creepy avatar you've got there. I feel inspired to move on from my cute pooch.

I am not requiring you to confirm if you received your roles. Although if you DIDN'T for some reason, please let me know.

I will admit that I've used it early in the game myself.

Personally, I'd rather use even the flimsiest, paper-thin, ridiculous excuse for an early Day one vote than use a random vote. Using a purely random vote eliminates a level of information, and Town needs every scrap of info we can get.

My theory is that I have no idea who is scum on Day 1, so I should vote random until I find a real candidate. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Here, I'll do it now:

I randomized the list and it came back:

1: 1. Santa is Sad 2: 4. Hooker Chemical 3: 5. Mahaloth 4: 10. Lightfoot 5: 12. Texcat 6: 2. SNFaulkner 7: 14. Personal 8: 6. raventheif 9: 13. Sario 10: 8. Vanta 11: 11. Karl Franz 12: 9. Silverjan 13: 3. Sunny Daze 14: 7. Colby11

Vote Santa is Sad

I don't think a random vote is any more likely to be correct than a vote for a reason on Day 1. But it doesn't put any real pressure on Scum if you happen to be correct, nor does it put any more pressure on you to actually make a case if you are Scum. So what's the point?

Sigh.

for being mean to the nrwcomer.

Hi. I transferred from Shermer High.

This exactly. Maha, I would really appreciate it if you would remove your random vote. I don't want to spend all Day debating the validity or utility of a random vote when we could actually be looking for scum.

Why?

Known Roles: (Better organized, and thoughts added)

Frodo Baggins
Boromir
So far, these two are the only ones from the same franchise. First thought is possible Masons. Although the mention of the One Ring is interesting.

Ellen Degeneres
Austin Powers
Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski
Ken Jennings
Gregory House - Seems obvious to me that this is a doctor.


Donald Trump
Biff Tannen

Further speculation: Austin Powers = Cop (I'm extending from him being a "spy"), Donald = Godfather, Biff = Bodyguard?

I'm having trouble with Ellen, the Dude, and Ken. Especially the Dude (no hard feelings - I hope you find your rug).

I have no idea what Frodo and Boromir are doing. Apparently not being noticed, if at all possible. Is there an actual "ring" type object? Does it have power?

So much to unpack.

Good question

Since you had not posted before Lightfoot I don't think it is that good of a question.

I just got here

I knew the game started some time today but not when

flimsy

so because I wasn't here yet, It is somehow Scummy?

can you elaborate?

Actually, that's the main reason I asked. LightFoot hadn't posted yet, but Personal just goes and drops a vote without saying why. That's very odd to me. I'd probably be willing to give Personal the benefit of the doubt if they had said that they would explain later, but they didn't even do that.

I didn't use the Scum word. You did.

We just went through this with Personal last game. Do we need to do it again?

Personal did this last game on Day 1. I am just surprised Lightfoot does not remember.

A vote generally means someone thinks you are Scum

what?

Let's not spend all Day discussing it, then. I'll move my vote when I see something I feel or think is scummy. Even if it applies no pressure to scum, it will still be great if we get one this way.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were implying that I suggested you were Scummy for asking about Personal. I was simply wondering why you thought it was a good question given the previous game history.

He did it the game before that too. Maybe it's his signature move.

Meanwhile in Hell’s....


Oops wrong game lol

Vanta, this was your post, #14 in the game thread. You edited the post. Generally, editing a post is pretty frowned upon in mafia. Once you say something, its out there, no editing allowed. If you feel like you said something wrong, correct yourself in another post.

This is the way :D

Weeping in Mafia, however, is quite common.

As so many strong emotions are.

So anyway, Vanta, you'll see people start a post with NETA Not edited to add. Some people don't care about editing, but I find it's courteous not to edit.

And welcome to the game that's all about letting and trying to kill your friends! It's good, clean fun!
