I've been gone for quite a while now, haven't I? Well, I have returned with an odd but hopefully good story idea.

All Super Smash Bros. characters belong to Nintendo, Capcom, Sega, Square Enix, Konami, etc. All Town of Salem roles belong to Blank Media Games.

Another year of Smashing had gone by and once again all the Smashers were sent home. The only two beings remaining in the expansive mansion at this time were Master Hand and Crazy Hand.

Usually during this time, Master Hand would be looking for prospective new Smashers for the next year while Crazy Hand would be playing random games on his giant fitted-for-giant-fingers laptop. In this instance, that was the case. Crazy growled at the laptop screen. "Brother! This game I'm playing- everyone seems to be an idiot!"

Master Hand sighed then shook off his glasses gently from his middle finger and turned to his destructive twin. "Are you playing that Town of Salem thing again? You do know that you become a pathological liar from playing this, right?"

"Here's the thing, brother! I don't exactly care." He cackled ever so slightly then calmed down to say "You know what would be a fun game for those other guys to play when they come back?"

The calm hand floated over to his erratic brother, saying "The last time you suggested a game for the Smashers to play, Master Core came out. And the time before that, Tabuu. And don't get me started about Giga Bowser and that trophy incident!"

"No one died from any of my games! ...Intentionally, permanently, or otherwise! But anyway, you should have the other guys play a real life version of Town of Salem! We can always revive whoever dies."

Master Hand drummed his fingers on the ground ever so slightly then shrugged by flicking his wrist. "Fine by me. As long as the rest of the Smashers are available whenever these games are played."

Crazy Hand squealed like a teenage girl getting front row seat tickets to a boy band concert. "You won't regret this, brother! I'll even bring back all the ones who have been expelled to ensure that you have all the space you need."

He sighed a little bit. "It would take me all of this break to recreate these guys, and there are quite a few good candidates for next year already. I would have to turn them down."

"Like I said before..." He floated over to where his nonexistent ear was then whispered "Don't. Care." He giggled some more then returned to playing his game. "Oh no, not the survivor!"

Master Hand rotated his pointer around, his way of rolling his eyes, then decided to work on the rehiring process for the currently gone Smashers.

After a couple of months, everyone came back to the mansion with a rather positive attitude. Some of them exchanged stories about what happened with them between months, others caught up in normal conversation, and still others were meeting together for the first time. There was a general buzz of confusion amongst them as to why there were no new guys this time.

Master Hand called on the announcement speaker, "All Smashers, report to the auditorium." They did so, all of them collectively wondering what sort of insanity would happen this year. To everyone's surprise, all that was up there were the two Hands with fifteen portals surrounding the room and eight figures behind them.

Mario, the de facto leader of the Smashers, decided to speak up first. "What is-a all of this about?"

Master Hand cleared his throat then said "So you guys know that Crazy Hand is usually the one who makes up strange games that happen to backfire strongly on us?"

There was a small murmur of agreement among most of the crowd (besides the mute people and the four fighters who never got to see any of Crazy Hand's plans come to fruition: Ryu, Cloud, Bayonetta, and Corrin).

Crazy Hand spoke up. "Well, this time, it won't! Welcome to the new mode we have created together: Town of Smash!" A pilgrim hat with a Smash logo appeared on the screen behind them. Master Hand announced "Every day, fifteen of you will be chosen at random to play a game of Town of Smash. There, you will be given one of 33 jobs and sent through one of the portals. The objectives to each are different, and no one will know who you are."

The other hand took over. "The name of the game is deceit and murder. If you don't lie or kill, you will likely lose... or win, depending on your role. To ensure even more that we have enough Smashers outside of the Town of Smash, we brought back some old friends. Come out, fellas!"

Young Link carved up his cover with his sword, surprising the Legend of Zelda heroes and Ganondorf. Then Pichu crawled out from underneath its cover, causing Pikachu, Jigglypuff, and slightly Mewtwo to react with anger. The Pokemon Trainer, called Red from this point forward, called out for Squirtle and Ivysaur to destroy their covers, filling Charizard with nostalgia. The Ice Climbers ripped the covers off with their hammers, while muttering "We live." in unison, creeping out everyone within earshot. Finally, Wolf and Snake shot through their covers in synchronization, impressing everyone (as well as causing some jealousy among the other gun users).

Master Hand laughed a bit at their surprise. "Yes, after a bunch of resurrective magic, time retrievals, and in one case a civil court case, every veteran Smasher is now in the Smash Mansion." Everyone clapped just a little bit. "Now, I bet you're wondering when the first game is, right?"

Before anyone could respond, Crazy shouted "Well, you'll find out now!" He giggled a lot then picked up fifteen fighters at random, throwing them into the fifteen portals. Master Hand cleared his throat again then said "As you were."

So, basically, here's how the rest of the chapters will play out. Each chapter will be a game of Town of Smash from the perspective of one of the town members. The list of Smashers and roles will be given at the end of the chapter, and everything is randomized, down to the character who narrates the specific chapter. As roles are introduced, I'll explain them in depth. I hope this goes well. Oh and I'm doing a normal Smash Bros. fic instead of a crossover with Town of Salem because it's honestly more of a Smash Bros. fic.
