"Has everyone gathered yet," the barrette wearing girl asked.
"I think so," the timid boy said.
"No. I have arrived," said the blonde-haired boy.
"I-I'm here," the spectacled girl said.
"Eh, that's only three. I was very certain I invited more people," the barrette wearing girl said, "So, Ryuugamine-san, Kida-san, and Sonohara-san are present?"
"Yes," Mikado said.
"Uh huh," Masaomi said.
"Y-yes," Anri said.
"Well, I, Yukari, have to start this soon," the girl said.
Then two other people came.
"Oho! I heard there was a gathering here," said the man with a fur coat.
"Hmph. I only came because I heard I can see Seiji," said the long-haired woman.
"Orihara-san… I didn't really… And Yagiri-san, has anyone said that you're—… Never mind," Yukari said, "Two more came. Now all we need is…"
Two other people came in. A person in black and wore a helmet said nothing but typed, "I heard we were playing a game here. "
The man in the lab coat said, "I only came because Celty told me about this."
"Ok so, the ones who just came now are, Orihara-san, Yagiri-san, uhh… Kishitani-san, and St— Sturl— Celty-san." "Yep," Izaya said. "Yeah," Namie said. "Yep yep," Shinra said. "Yes," Celty typed, "And my name is Celty Sturluson." "Ahaha... I'm sorry Sturluson-san," Yukari apologized. Then a man with a gas mask came and started a lecture. Celty quickly silenced the man along with Shinra, they question why he was here.
"I-I thought that you two were going out. And Shinra, as your father, I have the right to know."
"… A— and Kishitani-oji-san…" Yukari didn't invite some of the people, nor did she invite Izaya, but, as people say, "the more the merrier".
Then two familiar faces came. The man in the bartender suit started to rage at the sight of Izaya and yelled, "IIIIZAAAAAAYAAAAA!" The man was about to throw one of the chairs in the room at him.
"Hey, Shizuo calm down. You don't want— " the man who looked a little Jamaican said until he got interrupted by Yukari, "I very well know about how you hate him so. But please for today…"
That didn't really help much knowing that it's him. Celty typed, "Shizuo-san. Please only for right now."
If Celty had a head, she would have sweating bullets. He managed to calm down, but just a bit, and he sat in a seat.
"Ohoho! How rare of you Shizu-chan ~ "
Shizuo rages some more. Tom just stood there with the "here we go again" look. Then Yukari slapped Izaya in the face, "SHUT UP!" But the slap didn't hit him and he grabbed her wrist.
"My my, that was unexpected," Izaya said in a bit of a tone; he may be sarcastic or at least he sounds like he is.
"…Tch," Yukari made an unpleased look on her face. Everything was a bit hectic for a moment. Mikado, Kida, and Anri stayed there in silence with a bit of a shocked expression on their face.
Mikado then said, "U-uh… There's enough people right? Shouldn't we start— "
Another four people came. The man wearing a beanie said, "Why am I even here?"
The girl in a black barrette said, "Because you're Dota-chin!"
"Don't call me by that," yelled the man wearing a beanie.
The other man stayed quiet. The man holding a manga book said, "Aw c'mon. It's gonna be fun."
"Ugh… Fine," said Kadota, AKA "Dota-chin".
"Dota-chin! You're here. That's good," said Izaya.
"Um… Okay. Four more, so uhh… Karisawa-san, Yumasaki-san, Togusa-san, Kadota-san, Heiwajima-san, and Tanaka-san," Yukari noted.
Then Izaya went, "Ah. That's right. I connected it to a laptop."
He took out a laptop and turned it on. He started to open a video chat thing, and then you see a bedridden girl. People wondered who she was, Kida was more or less surprised about this. He doesn't even know whether or not he's happy about it.
The girl spoke, "I really wanted to play and staying in a hospital room all day does get a little boring sometimes."
Yukari was trying to remember her name, she has seen her once before a long time back, "Uhh… Mikajima-san right?"
"Yes, I am," Saki said with a smile.
"Oh ok. Just double checking," Yukari said.
Saki giggled. All the sudden behind the door, "DELIVERY!"
Everybody went, "Huh?" With the exception on Shizuo, Celty, and Izaya.
It was a tall black man, "Someone ordered fatty tuna?"
"That would be me," Izaya claimed.
All of us made a face, then Izaya asked, "Hey Simon. Do you want to join us?"
"Join you guys? For what," Simon questioned.
"For a game called— "
Then a very familiar looking calm man with a manager came in, "Am I late?..." "Um… No. You must be… Shizuo's little brother," Yukari inferred, "Heiwajima….?"
"Kasuka," Kasuka said.
"Oh, sorry about that," Yukari said apologetically, "It's surprising you could make it. Ok so…"
The manager said, "He can only stay until this game is finished. There are a hoard of fans out there and it's crazy."
It was pretty noisy, to the point where even the quiet people can't take it anymore so… A voice screamed, "HEY!" The voice echoed in the room. Everything was calmed, and it was still and quiet.
"Thank you," Yukari said, "So, everyone is here."
"Yep," Izaya replied.
"… We are all gathered here to play a game. A game called "Mafia". I, Tsukiyomi Yukari, will be the fellow narrator for this game. Does anyone know how to play?"
Mikado raised his hand, "U-um… I don't know how to play."
Anri raised her hand and said the same thing. Then everyone else but Izaya raised their hand.
Shizuo just kept saying, "Kill kill kill kill kill kill…."
Yukari sighed, to think that she had to go through this process again is a little tiring, "The game itself isn't hard. There are, with this amount of people, going to be two people being killers, two people being doctors, one person being the detective, and two people being the 'bastard'. And before anyone raises their hands, the "bastard" is the person that will drag someone to die with them if they were chosen to be killed by a killer. The rest is self explanatory. Any questions?"
Mikado raises his hand, "Um… What are the other people?"
"Oh the other people are— Civilians. Also at the end of each turn, we choose who we should chase out of town, as in who we think the killer is. Any more questions?"
During the explanation, one "lovely" couple came in, "Ah. It seems that two others have joined us. Good. We can begin… All of you guys pick a piece of paper in this hat. It will determine what you'll be for the duration of this game."
Yukari takes off her barrette, inside there are pieces of paper for each person in the room. She went around the room. People picked a paper with the exception of Saki whom Yukari picked and showed the paper to and putted it under the laptop.
"Ok now that everyone has picked a paper. Make a circle and let's begin. I'm going to pass out these blindfolds to prevent cheating and that's how the game goes. Ah, Saki I'm going to block the camera on this laptop. I'll know when it's your turn. Ok?"
"Ok," Saki replied.
"So, everyone put your heads down and let's begin. I am well aware that Sturluson-san won't cheat." She only said that because she doesn't know how to block the vision of a person who has no head. But Celty putted on the blindfold anyways.
Yukari starts to narrate, "So, there were a group of people, much like you guys here, living in a peaceful village. It was peaceful until the mafia came in and killed the villagers. The weird thing is, only two people die each night. People wonder who the killer is. The stakes are high. The detective is determined to solve the case. The doctors are willing to save a couple of the villagers or themselves. And there are… the unfortunate people. Now killers, unfold your blindfolds and pick one person you want to kill."
The two killers raised their heads, unfolded the blindfolds, picked their prey, and putted on their blindfolds. "Now doctors, pick one person you want to save."
The two doctors picked the person they wanted to save and putted back on their blindfolds. "Now detective, pick one person you would like some information on."
The detective picked a person, "That person is more innocent than he/she looks," Yukari said. The detective nodded and putted the blind fold back on, "Now the bastards, choose one person you would like to die with you."
The two bastards each picked one person and putted their blindfold back on.
Yukari narrates again, "Everyone… IT'S MORNING TIME! Now take off your blindfolds and look around you. Ah I almost forgot," Yukari takes the paper that was blocking Saki's view, "Sorry about that."
"It's ok," Saki said.
Yukari continues her narration, "Also, I am here to bring you good news and sad news…"
Beside Yukari was a piece of paper that lists who has what role. Why would Yukari write it down? The same reason Izaya would if he was the one narrating the game. Quietness dawn the group, then they had the wonder of where are they? There was a policeman who was just standing there monitoring the group, but for some reason, no one noticed he was standing there. The scenery looks and feels familiar, the remains of left over pressure, and the dry air. Agitation and nervousness is in the air. Ah, that's right.
And the list of people goes:
Ryuugamine Mikado – Doctor [The Plain Boy]
Kida Masaomi – Killer [The City Boy]
Sonohara Anri – Killer [The Girl Next door]
Orihara Izaya – Bastard [The Informant]
Yagiri Namie – Civilian [The Erotic Scientist]
Sturluson Celty – Detective [The Deliverer]
Kishitani Shinra – Civilian [The Underground Doctor]
Kishitani Shingen – Civilian [The Creeper]
Heiwajima Shizuo – Civilian [The Older Brother]
Tanaka Tom – Civilian [Debt Collector]
Kadota Kyohei – Doctor [The Gangster]
Karisawa Erika – Civilian [Otaku #1]
Yumasaki Walker – Civilian [Otaku #2]
Togusa Saburo – Civilian [The Fan Boy]
Mikajima Saki – Civilian [The Hospital Girl]
Brezhnev Simon – Civilian [Sushi Guy]
Heiwajima Kasuka – Civilian [The Little Brother]
Manager (Whom I don't know the name of) – Civilian [Mr. Manager]
Harima Mika – Civilian [The Stalker]
Yagiri Seiji – Bastard [The Weirdo]
Kuzuhara Kinnosuke – Judge/Monitor [Uh.. Is there a good name to give him? He's not even in the game ^^;;]
The game was about to do something that it has never done before… Model what's going on in Ikebukuro and what will happen for the times to come. People will die, things will be revealed, unexpected results will occur, and an unfortunate simulation… Yukari picks up the list and starts to narrate…
((NOTE: This is the quickest and longest fic I ever typed. I intended this to be a short and simple story. However, the more I typed, the longer it got. So it's gonna take a while and I should be typing my other fan fics. The OC here serves for the purpose of narration since I want all the characters to be in the game. Nothing more. I might make a fan fic with her in it, but she really won't do much, if I did. The nicknames there serve a purpose which will be revealed in the next part along with where they're at. If more people appears in the anime, I might add them in somehow. Thanks for reading and please continue to look for the next chapter and my other fan fics.))
