It was a cool summer evening at the Playa Des Losers and Owen had just won the million dollars earlier in the day and Total Drama Island had officially ended. The sun was no longer in view and the sky had a nice shade of light blue that was slowly starting to darken. All of the 22 contestants decided to spend a couple of more days together at the Playa Des Losers to just chill and hang out. They were all gathered at the swimming pool, having a pleasant time. It was pretty quiet throughout the evening. The only sounds that could be heard were the cool breeze flowing through the air, a few crickets chirping, and Trent strumming a few chords on his guitar.
"Sooo, what do you guys want to do?" Trent asked everyone.
"Let's have another big barbecue with hot dogs, hamburgers, and steak!" Owen cheerfully yelled out.
"No thanks big guy. I'm too full for that right now..." DJ replied, holding his stomach with one hand. "Besides, we already had one."
"How about a big party with a pinata and loud music?" Geoff hooted.
"Sorry babe. But we're kinda partied out" Bridgette replied. Gwen and Leshawna nodded as well.
"Umm...can't we all do something? I might as well go to bed and ditch all of you losers right now unless we do something interesting! What do you guys want to do?!" Heather said irritatingly. They all thought for a while. Suddenly, Cody raised his finger in the air and grinned as though he had an idea.
"Oh! I have an idea! I have some decks of cards with me! How about we play a game of Mafia?" Cody asked.
"Mafia?! I love that game!" Noah enthusiastically said. "I would always play that game with my friends back in camp!"
"Did you say 'Mafia'?!" a surprised Duncan asked, standing next to Courtney.
"Of course he did! Are you deaf?!" Courtney irritatingly said, poking at Duncan's right ear.
"Oh, give me a break princess!" Duncan said, rolling his eyes.
"Okay, so here is how this is going to work! I actually have 2 decks of cards with me right now. So, we will have 7 mafia, 1 doctor, and 1 cop! For those who don't know the basics of Mafia, each person will get a role in the middle of the first night. Every night, the mafia will choose to kill someone, the doctor will choose to save someone (even himself), and the cop will decide who to accuse. Your goal is to figure out who the mafia is and the game will end if the mafia eliminate everyone or if you eliminate all the mafia!" Cody explained. "So, if you have an Ace, you are the mafia. Queen, you are the doctor. And King, you are the cop!"
"In addition...I will be adding a few more roles to make things more interesting. If you get a 3, that means you are a sniper! If you are a sniper, that means you may choose to take a shot in the middle of the night at whoever you think the mafia is! Choose wisely and make sure you don't kill a townsperson by mistake, though!" he continued.
"There will also be 2 hunters, which are the Jacks of the deck! These guys will not play an active role in the game until the mafia or sniper targets them! The night after they die, they will kill someone for revenge! This should make things interesting..."
"There will also be the couple, as indicated by a 2! If one member of the couple is executed, then the other member of the couple is dead as well!"
"And then, we have the traitor! If the mafia targets the traitor, then the traitor will beg for mercy and join the mafia! The traitor is indicated by a 4!"
"Then, we have the fighter, indicated by a 5! If the fighter is targeted by the mafia, then the fighter will fight off who they think the mafia is! If they choose a member of the mafia, then they are safe...for now. If they choose the wrong member, then the fighter is dead! Hehehe..."
"If you get any other cards then the ones that I have mentioned, then you guys are just normal townspeople! Does that make sense?" Cody asked everyone. Everyone nodded. "Alright! Then, let's begin! Everyone, go to sleep as I shuffle the deck and hand out your roles!"
"What about you, Cody?" Owen asked.
"I'm not going to play! I'm going to narrate! Just like how Total Drama needs a Chris McClean, Mafia needs someone to host and narrate all the events that happen throughout the game! And I'm definitely a good-looking host, indeed!" he proudly replied, giving a wink. "Now, go to sleep!"
Everyone closed their eyes as they waited for Cody to pass out the cards. Izzy began to whistle 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' in a very suspenseful fashion as Cody handed out the cards.
"Izzy, please! You're making me nervous!" Beth cried, feeling slightly irritated.
A few moments later, Cody had just finished handing out all of the cards. "Alright guys, you may now wake up and take a peek at your roles!" The contestants complied and peeked at their cards. Some raised their eyebrows and some people were quietly cheering and groaning about their roles.
"Okay, now everyone, go to sleep and I will take back all the cards. It's time to do a role check!" Cody announced as the contestants all closed their eyes and waited for Cody to collect their cards.
"Okay, mafia wake up and look at me!" he said. The mafia members all opened their eyes and looked at Cody. Cody then took out his notepad and took notes on who was the mafia. He seemed very surprised indeed.
"Alrighty, go to sleep! Doctor, wake up!" he then said. The doctor looked at him. Cody wrote down the doctor's name.
"Doctor, go to sleep. Cop, wake up!" he said. The cop looked at him. Cody wrote down the cop's name.
"Cop, go to sleep. Sniper, wake up!" he said. The sniper looked at him and pulled its hair down as if he/she were emo. Cody wrote down the sniper's name while trying to hide a burst of laughter.
"Hunters, raise your hands!" he said. The hunters raised their hands and Cody wrote down their names.
"Hunters, put your hands down. Couple wake up!" he said. The couple looked at each other and widened their eyes and gave each other disgusted expressions. Cody quietly laughed to himself as he wrote their names down.
"Couple, go to sleep. Traitor, wake up!" he said. The traitor looked at him and Cody gave a shocked expression indeed. He then wrote down the traitor's name.
"Traitor, go to sleep. Fighter, wake up!" he said. The fighter looked at him. Cody did not seem surprised at all as he wrote down the fighter's name.
"Fighter, go to sleep. Townspeople, raise your hands!" he said. The townspeople raised their hands and Cody wrote down their names.
"Townspeople, put your hands down! All right, everybody wake up!" he said. Everyone then woke up. "Well, we're enjoying a restful night here at the Playa Des Losers. Total Drama has officially ended and we are free from Chris's horrible stunts and Chef's disgusting food! Although everything seems cool right now, all of your lives are in jeopardy, as there are people around you, even your loved ones, out to get you! Who are these horrible people that lay among you? Well, you're going to have to find out on Total...Drama...Mafia!" Cody continued, giving a big grin and wink to everyone. "All right, you may all go to sleep, because this is going to be one interesting game!"
