Night 8 starts at this time!
Mafia Round 25: What Will You Do For A Will?
The Sun shines and light breaks through your window as the chirping of birds gently wrests you from your sleep. You wake up a minute before your alarm goes off and smile as you turn it off. "What wonderful timing," you think as you get out of bed to turn it off before it chimes.
You walk downstairs and turn on the TV as you begin to make your breakfast, the news giving you some pretty nice background noise to accompany the sizzling of bacon and eggs in the pan. A few minutes later, your wonderfully balanced breakfast is done and you sit down to eat it at the table as you begin to listen to the latest story.
Newscaster James: "...I don't think that cat could have been any cuter. In other news, the multimillionaire Akonyl Bars, known for his eccentric life and living space, has been found dead in his home. Now to Jerry, with the story.
You sigh to yourself. "Hm, some old guy died? I don't even know who he is, why should I care..."
Newscaster Jerry: "Investigators at the scene have named the prime suspect as one Renaldo Blue, a cousin of Akonyl's with a criminal past. However, during a statement he made publicly earlier today on the way to the police station, Renaldo claimed to the contrary.
Renaldo: I didn't do it, I swear! I was framed! It wasn't me! I'd never kill my cousin for his vast amounts of wealth, or anything! I sweeeaaaar!"
Newscaster Jerry: "What's the deal with convicts? But anyway, although Renaldo pleads innocent, investigators claim that because Akonyl lived alone in the ruins of that used to be the estate of the Bars family and that Renaldo is the only confirmed living kin, he is the most likely culprit. However, some police claim that there remains a chance that Renaldo is not the murderer, as the Bars estate is a popular tourist attraction to those enchanted by its storied history and mysterious destruction centuri--"
Newscaster James: "I'm sorry Jerry, I'm going to have to cut you off due to some breaking news: Akonyl's butler, also the executor of his estate, is giving some new information on the story, so we're going live to that."
The channel switches to an image of an old man with glasses and a large white mustache, wearing a clean suit with white gloves. The man speaks with a very refined tone of voice.
Butler: "The Master's death saddens me greatly, and I only wish that I had not been on vacation that day so that I may have protected him. However, even in death, Akonyl seeks to give generously to those he loved, and thus I must do my duty as his servant. Though it is a well known fact that the Mistress, Akonyl's wife, died several years ago, his life was not bound to just one woman. Yes, if you have heard these rumors, they are true: Master Akonyl had many affairs throughout his life, however the Master would like the world to know that he was forced by a divine hand to take part in these affairs, and that he did not enjoy it. Nonetheless, he had these affairs, and these women and men... don't ask how it works... have given birth to children who have estranged themselves with their father. As such, though he knows they all must hate him for not being there, he wishes to make it up to them and has included all of his children in his will. Unfortunately, he doesn't know who they actually are, so he has decided in his will that I shall invite all of his children to the estate for a ceremony where they all shall receive their share, as dictated in his will. The ceremony will take place in two days' time at noon, in front of the mansion. Thank you."
Newscaster James: "Wow, so those affair rumors were true? Man I wonder i--"
You stop listening to the news as an idea starts forming in your head. A multimillionaire dies... leaves children in will... doesn't actually know who his children are? Sounds like a prime opportunity to become rich... could this day get any better?
"Well... maybe I do care after all."
You've gotta ask yourself one question... do you feel like going? Well, do ya, punk?
