This is my first time modding so please have a bit of patience and I'll try and not make a critical error.



When the Seagulls Cry Mafia: Chapter 1



You're members of a rich family and their servants trapped in a mansion on an island when you receive a mysterious letter...

Notes:
This is an announcement that there should be no ~major~ spoilers in regards to the story of the actual visual novel. I know this is kind of discretionary, but I'll just list off the kinds of things we need to know as an example.

Umineko, when they cry is a murder mystery game. The character profiles from chapter one will be given when role pms go out. Basically, anything deeper than that is off limits, and spoilers!

Flavour is flavour in this game, and just that. I want to give this game's structure an Umineko feel, is all.

[. . .]Every door has its lock and every person their place.

At the start of the game day I will summarize who visited the victims of that night. This is my witch confirmed list, so you can trust that it follows the rules of my game perfectly. This is my [. . .]

General Mafia Rules stolen via Dancer via Yami, via Natural 20, from Somberero

1. Don't be mean to each other. This is a game, part of the game is having people react, but if you think you’re reacting badly, walk away, calm down, come back later.
2. For the lurker mechanic for this game, anybody below 10 posts per game day (before the town execution) will be allowed to be executed the following day without ending the day. This will be announced by the mod.
3. Don't edit your posts.
4. Don't talk after you're dead. I'll send you a PM to a Dead doc if you want to chat poo poo.
5. Feel free to post after the hammer/during twilight about non-game stuff.
6. Flavour is flavour, you’re welcome to pursue arguments on it if you want. However, scum are backed by fakeclaims. Additionally whilst I try to retain flavour justification for many abilities, they will not always match expectations.
7. No replacements after D2.
8. Don't directly quote any communication from me, including your role pm. If you have OOT communication with another player, the rule still applies.
9. Don't fake day actions.
10. If you are affected by a day action, do not post under any circumstances until we post the result of the Action. Everyone else is good to keep going.

A note about action language

1. An action that successfully activates and will have it's effect. "your action SUCCEEDED"
2. An action that does not successfully activate will have no effect. "Your action FAILED."
3. If a player name is ever mentioned as part of a result, this is a mod error. This is because your intended target is not necessarily who is actually targeted due to manipulative roles.
4. A "successful" target is defined as an ability resolving on someone. This does not have to be the intended target, so a redirected result will yield the same language as a result that has not been redirected.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

im going to play

Wow this is filling up fast. I'm just ironing out the roles and flavour so sorry if this is not exactly 'what you signed up for' but there's some interesting things that are going to be happening. Even if we fill up I'll leave sign ups open for another day or because we have some wiggle room with the characters I'm using.

As you all filter in for dinner in the grand dining room you're surprised to see little Maria impatiently rocking on her chair at the table with some sort of smug look of satisfaction. She's just a kid so it's easy to read her face; She's clearly very excited about something. You wonder briefly why she isn't with the cousins closer to her age but don't think much of it. However, when she notices most of the family are in the room with some servants setting up the table and others serving tea, she jumps on her chair and declares proudly!

"Uuu~ Beatrice~ Beatrice~ Letter from Beatrice~ I'll read it now!"



Welcome to Rokkenjima.

I am the Golden Witch, Beatrice. This letter marks the start of my revival. Your family’s wealth, as you all know, seemingly appeared out of thin air. This collateral that was used for many other loans had no known origin, because I am the original lender who began Kinzo's fortune. While your coffers have filled significantly over past few decades, sadly you’ve fallen short on interest owed to me, and I’ll be taking everything your family has.

Unlike most places, everything is fairly orderly in the isolated Rokkenjima Mansion. This manse has been the cousin’s grandparent’s home since before they were born. Their parents, who were raised there, recall its layout like the back of their hand. It’s the servants duty to walk its halls daily and tend to their masters. Therefor if something were to happen, it should be relatively easy to piece together who did it using simple logic. Every door has its lock and every person their place.

Many of you may be chosen as sacrifices for my revival. Therefor, at the start of the game day I will summarize who visited the victims of that night. This is my witch confirmed list, so you can trust that it follows the rules of my game perfectly. This is my method of giving you all a chance to learn the easy way that this is a game impossible to solve. When my chosen few complete the ritual I will be revived and all will be dead, we will meet again in the golden land. If you manage to find out the identities of my pieces... I suppose I’ll let you all off the hook. *cackle*cackle*cackle*!

Beatrice


Most of the adults shook their heads at this crass declaration, clearly some sort of attempt to maneuver the sender into inheriting a larger portion of their father's, Kinzo's, wealth. Others laughed it off. If you met the eyes of some you might even notice the glint of greed in their eyes. No one could guess at just how true the words of the letter would turn out to be.

Sorry that I'm updating the OP as we go but I'm just coming to realize problems as people talk to me about them!

Think of this of a different spin on things, with a few familiar faces.
