Kasumi and Arisa play Town of Salem together

Summary:

Arisa reluctantly finds herself playing Town of Salem with Kasumi, a game where the coordinated Mafia avoids detection while they spend every night eliminating the Town. While the Town is left in the dark and must find holes in people's stories to deduce who among them is evil before it's too late. How long will Arisa's patience with Kasumi's complete inability to understand the game last? And will either of them manage to win a single game?

Chapter 1: I Saw Her Playing a Game

Summary:

One fateful night, Arisa finds herself unable to sleep, she decides to play a game of her favorite/least favorite game Town of Salem to tire herself out, little did she know she'd be put in the same game as a very special someone.

Notes:

Scroll up here if you don't play the game and a term you don't understand comes up, this section may contain spoilers however so please scroll up when you actually get to one of these terms. The terms will be in bold.
Jailor
TP/LO
Vigilante
Jailor is a Unique Town Killing Role who has the ability to choose a person to jail each day, once night comes up the Jailor hauls their target off to jail to have a private conversation with the prisoner, once Jailed it's customary to give the Jailor your role and will as a real Townie has no reason to lie to the Jailor and starting on the second night the Jailor may choose to execute their prisoner if they suspect them of being an evil role, along with that Jailed targets are Roleblocked and granted Night Immunity which will defend them from being killed by almost everything and nearly all visiting roles will have their abilities fail if they target a Jailed person. The Jailor is considered the strongest role and often leads the town.
TP/LO means Town Protective and Lookout, it's a common meta for TPs such as the Doctor to protect the Jailor each night while Lookouts watch the Jailor to confirm the TPs are real.
Vigilante is a Town Killing Role that can shoot up to three bullets at any player in the game killing them with the caveat of if they shoot and kill a Town Role, the Vigilante will lose the ability to shoot and will die of guilt the next night.
It is very stupid to shoot the Jailor.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

After finishing band practice one day, Kasumi took notice of Arisa, who was staring at her phone, visibly frustrated and whispering mean things under her breath.

"Hey, hey, Arisa! What's that game you're playing?"

"...How long were you watching me play? I thought you were practicing."

"I was, until I saw you glued to your phone, making all sorts of expressions!"

"First you looked nervous, then you looked surprised, then you looked like you were really annoyed!"

"But then you started concentrating and after that you had a really smug, satisfied look on your face."

"...Well, if you must know it's a game called Town Of Salem. It's a social deduction game where the Town tries to find out who among them is secretly a member of the Mafia plotting to overthrow the Town."

"Ooh, that sounds like so much fun! How do you spell that last word, I wanna download it on my phone so we can play together."

"Oh, it's S-a-Hold on a minute there's no way I'm gonna play this game with you."

"Ehhhhh, why not!"

"Well to start with, it's a Social Deduction game and clearly the Deduction part wouldn't appeal to you."

"But the Social part doesn't appeal to you either."

"Guh! Forget it, just thinking about having to play with you is giving me a headache."

"Arisaaaaaaaaaa!"

TOWN WINS

GAME SUMMARY

"Phew, that was a close game."

"I think I've played enough, it's about time I go to bed."

"...Come to think of it it's been a whole week since she asked me to play this game with her."

"She pestered me for a little while but gave up when I wouldn't budge and she had to go home."

"I wonder how a game with her would have gone, it would certainly be lively."

"...Maybe I should have said yes to just one game, It probably would have been fun."

"...What am I doing still thinking about this, she's probably forgotten all about it by now, at most she tried to find the game and gave up when she couldn't figure out how the name was spelled, and here I am still hung up about it..."

"...What the heck, there's no way I'll be falling asleep anytime soon, I may as well play just one more game to get my mind off this."

"Alright I can calm down, the fact that she's whispering all these people means she doesn't know it's me, she just knows one of the players in this lobby is me, but there's no chance she'll figure out who it is."

ScarletGuitar: "Kasumi's doing it again."

"Again!? How long has she been doing this!?"

JellyFueeesh is whispering to KasumiNoyamas.

"Maybe I should say something that'll get me targeted by the Mafia so I can leave immediately without any consequences."

"Nah, they'll probably think I'm a Veteran trying to bait them into visiting me."

"There's no way she'll find me as long as I don't talk too much."

"What have I done."

Notes:

Hello everyone, thank you so much for reading my first fic. I had wanted to try drawing something for Kasumi's Birthday and quickly gave up on it when I couldn't even figure out how the art program I downloaded worked. So I had to settle for writing a fic which I wrongly assumed would only take a day, Since it's too late for me to get it out for Kasumi's Birthday, I figured I should at least separate it into chapters and come up with more ideas for it. If there's anyone you know who enjoys both Town of Salem and Bandori I'd be really happy if you shared it with them and thank you for reading <3 I'll try to get this finished as quickly as I can!
