Or you could not trust me and dunk on yourself.

You literally referred to them as civilians so obviously you are the last Remnant. Well done.

Am I tho

And you aren't really trying to figure out who it is either.

It could be Dana tho

Or you.

SVS said you deserve the win though so that probs means you win.

I def think DH might be the last remnant but we gotta vote out Mac while we can or else he's just gonna hop back into water, right? And we can lynch DH tomorrow as long he doesn't kill us all overnight

Also why would SVS vote for remnant to win if she's a civ? Confused

That's a really good question Dana. Perhaps the question she was asked was which Mafia faction should win and it didn't include the civilians.

Which seems strange given you actually raise a valid point about the civilians chances of winning.

Lol you guys remember that time Mac got mad at me because I pointed out he outted himself.

Are you trying to rub it in?

That's not very nice.

I'm just sayin' you worked harder against yourself than I have all game.

What is the relevance of that point?

To rebuff the idea that I would betray you by switching my vote at the last moment.

If I did vote for you I would be sure to tell you.

I suppose if you vote me off today you will probably just get autolynched tomorrow by the remaining civilians eh?

Just lynch me and Quin will vote with you against one of them tomorrow. The tribunal will be split 50/50. The entire game comes down to Remnant vs. Civs in a coin flip. Blade loses despite putting up an insane effort in the face of ridiculous adversity. I can live with that.

To be fair we've both (you and I) had to survive in the face of ridiculous adversity.

Stop bullying me DharmaHelper.

What if not.

I did almost get modkilled for saying Day 4 wrong. What adversity have you overcome, Mac?

Quin is forcing me to vote for Mac which I do not appreciate.

If Mac is actually in water I'm gonna b #MadOnline

This is the end. My only friend, the end.

Beautiful friend, the end.

Nobody gonna save me?

That's rough.

C'mon guys. What if I do a haughty jig?

Now you're just being cruel

So you'll change your vote off me if I do a haughty jig then?

The Kraken had been submerged deep in the darkest ocean trench for some time, spreading out its incomprehensible tentacles across the Realm, until its evil influence could be felt from the Pool of Moonlight to the corrupted Healing Spring. The Realm's disintegration was accelerating, with the dark goddess obliterated, and the Eternal Essence seeping away, but the Kraken was holding it together through sheer will and legendary power. Rising to the surface, the Kraken roared a challenge to the heavens, cursing the cowardly indifference of the gods.

Hearing the unearthly bellows, the Savage Pixie had finally decided to come out of hiding, though she knew in her heart that it was too late. As she approached the grotto where the Kraken had risen, she was awestruck at how massive it truly was. She opened her skirt pocket to check on the tiny Toxic Frog, careful not to touch her poisonous skin. "Well, froggy," she said with more hope than confidence, "Here goes nothing!"

She burst forth and brandished her glinting silver dagger, shouting at the top of her lungs, "KRAKEN! Monster, I will cut you open for the damage you have inflicted upon this Realm!" She darted forward and leapt onto the Kraken's rubbery hide, stabbing with her tiny blade at the massive behemoth.

The Kraken looked startled. "What? I'm the only thing - ow! Stop stabbing me!" The Pixie paused. "I'm the only thing holding this Realm together! I can't keep it up, I need - I need help!"

The Pixie furrowed her brow. He sounded genuine. Then a gravelly voice spoke up.

"Don't listen to his lies!" The Living Statue, Fabled Protector, strode forward, his marble body reformed after a generation of being broken and separated. "It's the Kraken that seeks to ruin this world!"

The Kraken roared, retracting a great tentacle from its hold on the Realm's fabric to crush the Statue once and for all. Dharmahelper's eyes widened, and he wondered if even his invulnerability could stand up to such and awesome tentacle slap. That slap was never delivered, however, because without the Kraken holding on, the Realm finally lost cohesion, becoming less a Realm, and more a bunch of rocky chunks floating in ethereal non-space.

S~V~S and Dana scrambled to hold on as it all came apart, their hearts plummeting into despair that anything would ever be all right again. They blinked in confusion as a cat swam past, seeming quite content, paddling its paws through the swirling aether as it moved to whatever point its curiosity drove it next. "Cat!" shouted Dana. "Help us! Isn't there anything you can do?"

"Mrrrrow," purred Quin. "I seem to recall that I had something, but I buried it. Perhaps it could have helped, but perhaps it was no more than a ball of yarn..." S~V~S and Dana stared, unblinking and expressionless, as he floated by. "...I can't really remember anymore. If you'll excuse me, there's a small leaf blowing over yonder that requires my attention..."

Mac reached out to grab DH before he floated away, but the Statue was just out of reach. Mac roared once again, in rage and frustration, and suddenly, a pair of glowing blue eyes regarded them, replacing the inky, swirling darkness that had been there a moment before. Long Con gazed upon them, appearing so huge as to make them seem like small toys, their Realm but a game.

"Your efforts to hold on to your Realm impress me, Kraken," said Long Con approvingly. "Like you, I have no desire to see this Realm obliterated. My time here has given me a certain fondness for the players of the game, as it were." His golden skin gleamed and sparkled as a broad smile spread across His face. "The Realm is now yours, and it is you. I shall graft your powerful essence to the fabric of this reality, and you shall last as long as it does, bound to it, your essence shaping it as it ascends..."

The Kraken's eyes widened, and Mac stammered, "Wait, I just... what are you doing?" His rubbery black skin began to glow white, and all the chunks of Realm that floated in the nothing around him began to glow as well. The Savage Pixie and the Toxic Frog shrieked as the energy consumed them, and they disintegrated. The glow spread from each piece, growing like a living organism, joining with the Kraken and increasing in brightness as the entire Realm rose out of the depths that Dark Willow's soul had conjured, until a bright and shining new sky hung above a shining newborn reality.

Long Con nodded. "Let's see if we can do this right this time," he said, satisfied, and turned to leave, and to contemplate the changes that this Realm had wrought.

Almanpeus looked down at the Living Statue, like a chess piece in her crystal hand. She gazed deep into his soul, once orderly and stoic, now broken and re-broken enough times to resemble a chaotic shard of faceted gemstone. She smirked as she thought of how he had focused the power of chaos and sent the prayer for a Cataclysm that she had answered. Good times. No point in sacrificing a valuable piece like this, she thought, as she placed him down upon the newly-minted Realm.

The Jagged Blade (and the Quintessential Cat) have won Mafia: A World Asunder! Congratulations to MacDougall, juliets, speedchuck, Tranq, and Quin!

I out an entire team and the civilians still ended up doomed.

Aw nuts.

At least I... kept you.

I mean I wasn't gonna win anyway, pushing Mac across the finish line was the least I could do.

I personally don't mind that outcome.

I think the setup needed some play testing.

Oh by the way I was recruited the day/night Enrique died.

I interrogated DDL before he'd recruited me and correctly deduced his teammate was CBob.
