This year, the location was chosen to be at the motel, and they upped the number of 20 to 25 people for special effects.

CHAPTER ONE - HUDSONS POV 


Hudson awoke on a bed, one with fresh sheets and the smell of hotel room. You see, Hudson was the kind of guy who would stay up all night and sleep all day. It was strange for him, however since he usually sleeps in his boyfriend’s bed, boyfriend’s room. Well, boyfriend’s apartment. Zachary and Hudson have known each other for a very long time, and that’s all you need to really know. Theoretically, Hudson wasn’t allowed to leave the caverns. He was a warlock- a terrible one, but still one. He was born at the outposts, where is parents were murdered at, and taken in to help magic and blah blah blah he sucks at it. Just like Ivan, who’s also an orphan. They’re great friends. Hudson only has a few friends: Zachary (well, he doesn’t really count), Ivan, sorta Luke and Sean?, Martin?, and Callum depending on the time of day. Hudson thinks that Zachary changed the sheets or some crap on him and tries to go back to sleep, but then he hears a door.
Is Zach home early? He thought to himself, which doesn’t really make sense, since he has many butler jobs. They make him good money. Hudson wonders what it’s like to have a job, people in the caverns aren’t allowed to work, unless it’s in a cavern job. Hudson doesn’t want to be there any longer.

“Pssssst Hud! Hud!” a female voice rang out, which confused him since girls never come over- wait a minute is that Cordi? Oh shoot! She’s gonna snitch on him to her mother that he left the caverns and oh-! Wait, she couldn’t do that? Right?

“Cordi? Is that you?” He replied.

“Yeah! It is- oh man- you gotta get up!” Cordi said, which if Cordi says anything then it must be important. You see, everyone respects Cordi not because shes Fiona’s daughter, but because she’s generally a great person and helps people (especially Hudson and Ivan) with the assignments and spells and magic stuff.

“Why-? Please don’t rat me out to your mother- or anyone- please?”

“. . . I don’t think we are ever gonna see my mother again…”

wait, WHAT?  “what?”

“Yeah, that’s why you gotta get up-!”

Hudson finally opened his eyes, to find out, in fact, that he was not in Zachary’s bedroom or in his bed sniffing his pillows, wait, he wasn’t totally sniffing the pillows- he’s not like Marinette Duphan-Chan! He instantly gets out of the bed, and rushes to Cordelia’s side “Where are we?”

“No idea.” She replied.

“Um.” He doesn’t know what to say.

“We should probably go find the others.” She said.

“Wait there’s others-?”

“Yeah-!” She grabbed his wrist, “there’s always others!”

HUH?!

Suddenly, like yes, he spawns into a new room, a weird one. With a book. Cordeila was no were in sight. Hudson picks up the book.

CIVILIAN

“The Civilian is a member of the Town without any additional abilities.” (Mafia Roblox Wiki)

bruh

Hudson stares at the book, throws it four times. Boring! Actually, he had no clue what it means. As suddenly as he spawns into that room, he spawns back in with Cordeila. “What was that all about?” he mumbled.

“Oh- oh goodness it’s actually real- oh my- it’s actually- oh…” Cordeila started breaking down.

“Hey- hey- it’s okay- what does the book mean-?” Hudson lowkey wants answers, not a crying girl who can kill him in a millisecond.

“It mean- it’s means- that’s what- oh gosh- no- no no no no no no no- “

“Cordi. It’s okay. Just give the answer. Please.”

“You don’t know!” She shouted, which indeed he doesn’t, he makes a face like no shit bish , which all of the sudden she runs off, leaving him alone confused as heck.

He sees that a flashlight was placed in his pocket. Oh great, he’s cooked.

The lights flickered off, while it suddenly became day to night in like a minute. Strangeeee. He reached into his pockets to check his phone- oh wait! He doesn’t have it- since he left it on the nightstand. Damn it! He groaned, but not the way Adrien Agreste does. He sits back down on the bed, and stares at the ceiling. Should he sleep? Nah. Sleep is for the weak. He wonders what Zach would say, probably ask a silly question. Hm. Maybe he should count stars? Yeah, that seems like a good idea. he gets up and exits the room, when he sees Emma and Grace, wait they are here?!

“Emma! Please-!” Grace called out.

“What-?” Emma is generally confused.

“Don’t leave me, please.” Grace hugs her.

“I’m not, don’t worry.” Emma replied back.

Hudson watches from the doorway, nodding his head in approval. They would make a great couple, don’t you think?

“I just wanna see if Ethan’s here.” Emma added.

🫥

“oh… okay….” You can see the mention of Ethan killed Graces mood.

The two of them walked off. Huh. Women. Eh. Hudson thought. They were no Rose and Julika. OKAY HUDSON NEEDS TO STOP THINKING OF MIRACULOUS LADYBUG, that’s a kid show and not a show for a 23 year old man. Anyways.

He walks down the hallway some more, when he sees Fallon and Chanel go at it. Now that was a Rose and Julika!

“DO YOU MIND??!?” Chanel screams, the moment he steps in the direction. She instantly pushes Fallon off, she doesn’t look happy. “Ew!  Ugly clothes.”

“No it’s okay- I’m gay too-“ Hudson said, basically running past them and their glares.

He notices a locker nearby. Huh. Why do this place needs hiding spots? So strange. Honestly. He notices that this is a layout of a motel, not that he’s ever been to one but Luke has pictures and Zachary sometimes cleans for them.

“Hudson-?”

Hudson spun around to see Callum, the gambler. “Hello. Callcum.”

“Why are you here man-? Do you have any idea what’s going on?” he asked.

“No,” Hudson replied, “no clue.”

“ okay then….. but what are we doing here?”

“I said I don’t know bro”

“You sure?”

“Yes-?!”

Callum just starts humming a Taylor swift song, which at least it wasn’t a sombr song (head cannon: majority of mafia players HATE sombr, so all the characters would probably too, also don’t ask how the world works :3)

“Okay, do you at least know what happened?”

“Callum Vinic Turner, I said I have no clue!” Sure, Hudson made up his name, but how was the guy supposed to know his full name when he never told anyone.

“That’s not my name.”

“Okay, man, just stop asking questions. All the answers are gonna be no.” Hudson replied.

“Do you like me?”

“…. What?”

“Heheh! See that wasn’t a no!”

“I- I-“ well, what could Hudson say? His face turned red, and his cheeks blushed. Arent those the same things? Eh. Anyways, he looked at the ground embarrassed, when Luke runs up to them, wait, what?! Luke’s here?!

“Luke! Hey man! Do you know what’s going on- oh holy shit man you look bad” Cal stated, which wasn’t exactly wrong. The man had bruises everywhere and a black eye.

“I- uh- don’t remember. I have a bad migraine.”

Ah, Luke and his migraines, typical. Hudson though.

“Aw man!” Callum said, which is like, oh cool.

“Hey, Luke, uh-“ Hudson began, but was too embarrassed to continue.

“Yeah?”

“I’ll ask you later.” He twindled his fingers, he doesn’t know why, but he did.

“Okay?” Luke replied.

“Oh Luke! You know whats good for helping migraines! Water! I read that online somewhere, let’s go get you some!” And so that’s what the three men went, to get water.

“Soooo what did y’all’s books say?” Callum asked.

“Callum, there’s a note at the bottom of the book to not tell anyone it, and there will be serious punishments if you do.” Luke said.

“Oh.”

Hudson was concerned at that too, since he didn’t pay that much attention.

The three men stay at the kitchens sink (Yes there’s a kitchen since I say so), Luke downing like 5 glasses of water, Callum debating if he should do the same, and Hudson leaning against the counter, he suddenly hears a familiar man’s voice, and he bolts. His arms goes around another’s waist.

“Yeah, so if the math was right, then-“ The man looks down, then continues “There should be 29 guest for your party sir.” Oh right, Hudson remembers, Zach has a lot of clients.

“That’s okay I guess.” Aaron said, before walking away.

“heyyyyyyy zach” Hudson said.

“Didn’t know you would be here…” Zachary muttered.

“What?” Hudson asked, confused.

“Isn’t it like 2am? Why isn’t people sleeping?” Zachary asked, why is he trying to change the subject?

“I don’t sleep at 2am.” Hudson mumbled.

“You should go to sleep.” - ZAC

Why the heck is he acting so weird? “Yeah- I will- later… what’s wrong?” - HUD

“Nothings wrong Hud.” - ZAC

“Why didn’t you say Hi back?” - HUD

“Hi. There. Nothings wrong.” Zachary sounds snappy. That made Hudson even more worried.

“No. No we aren’t playing this game. What’s wrong?” - HUD

“Nothings wrong, just a mild headache.” Zachary explained, but Hudson noticed the way he was tapping his foot, a habit he does when he gets anxious.

“Okay, then drink some water, it will help with it.” - HUD

“Later.” - ZAC

“Nah, you’re going now.” Hudson said, dragging him. Callum and Luke were still there, both drinking water.

“Heyooo man!” - CAL

“Hi” - LUKE

“Hey.” - ZAC

“drink water.” Hudson told.

“Luke- the back of your head is bleeding.” Zachary stated, avoided the demand by Hudson.

“What-?” Luke turned, and revealed it. Oh. “How did that-“

“It’s only a little, it should be fine.” - ZAC

“Stop avoiding and drink water.” - HUD

“You do know water  isn’t the solution to everything-?” - ZAC

“Yes it is.” Callum and Hudson said in unison.

“So Zach, what’s wrong with you?” Luke said causally.

“Just a little headache and a bit dizzy. It’s fine. It will pass.” he answered.

“It won’t pass if you don’t drink water.” - CAL

Hudson thought it was strange, Zachary said it was a mild headache. Does mild and little mean different things? And also, he never said he was dizzy. What’s going on with him?

“You know what’s weird, I didn’t wake up with a migraine or a headache.” Callum pointed out.

“Me neither, and I don’t think Cordeila did too.” Hudson thought about it, out of everyone he saw already, they all looked perfectly healthy and happy- well psychically happy, like they all looked perfectly normal and etc. It seems like Luke and Zachary were the only ones who woke up with illness. Ehhhh, they are probably overthinking this, since everyone gets sick. Maybe they are sick? Who knows.

“Huh” someone muttered.

“Zach, I still didn’t see you get any water,” Hudson said.

“I’ll get it later,” Zachary mumbled.

“Stop being stubborn, it’s just water,” Hudson replied.

Other people piled into the kitchen, like Kendrick, Tyler and Oliver.

“Sup” Tyler said to them.

The four men nodded in response.

The three other men joined them.

“Hey guys, did any of you wake up with any sort of pain or discomfort or you know what I mean?” Callum said, trying to figure out why the other two did even though it’s not really important.

“Nah, in fact it felt like I got the best sleep of my life!” Tyler laughed.

“Me too honestly.” Kendrick remarked.

Oliver nodded slowly.

“Y’know, looking back, same.” Callum added, which made Hudson think to when he first woke up. It lowkey matches that description. Weird.

“It’s 3:39am.” Zachary spoke up. Which is weird, how does he know the exact time?

“Cool?” Someone in the group said.

The seven men stood there for a good hot minute, then start rambling about random ahh shit. By the time they knew it, it was 10am.

Please make your way into the meeting room,” a female voice rang out from the loud speakers, “you have 50 seconds… 49… 48…. 47…” she went on

The seven man of course listened, having nothing else to do. Hudson settled into his seat, assessing the crowd. He only knew a few other people, like Avery, Madison, Cordelia, and Martin etc. He sat next to Zach and instantly wanted to be closer next to him. He knows what he’s doing after this. The lady on the loud speakers started talking again.

Hello, and welcome to the 0312 game of mafia. This round is special, since they have decided to gather twenty five people in it. Let me tell you who is amongst you: Five mafias equipped with knifes and guns. Please only kill one person every night or there will be serious consequences. The mafias were also provided perks, as well as the town. One witch. Two bodyguards. One saboteur. One janitor. Two civilians. One jester. Two detectives. Four doctors. Two twins. One vigilante. One suppressor. One judge. And one detainer. If your role requires action at meeting, you will only do it at meeting.

“Sadie?!” Chanel cried, recognizing the voice.

A kid, looks around starts counting heads. “There’s actually 27 of us.”

Hudson looked around to double check that, and the kid was indeed correct. A paper dropped down and everyone picked theirs up. Oh it’s just information about the other people.

NAME, AGE, DAY/MONTH

Aaron, 29, 8/10

Athena, 22, 5/9

Avery, 25, 13/12

Belinda, 24, 10/11

Callum, 22, 15/6

Candice, 29, 3/7

Chanel, 23, 19/4

Cordeila, 24, 18/10

Dana, 31, 17/11

Emma, 21, 12/3

Fallon, 25, 15/1

Grace, 21, 20/9

Hudson, 23, 6/8

Ivan, 23, 21/5

Jack, 27, 27/2

Joanna, 26, 30/10

Kendrick, 27, 29/1

Kirby, 21, 16/6

Laurel, 24, 12/2

Madison, 25, 28/4

Martin, 28, 22/1

Nora, 22, 5/9

Oliver, 28, 10/5

Tyler, 25, 8/2

Wiggins, 17, 4/6

Luke, 24, 31/11

Zachary, 24, 1/8

Hudson scanned the paper, seems legit. What stood out though, for Hudson, is that it was in alphabetical order besides Luke.

Nobody died tonight.” The girl- Sadie, according to Chanel- said on the loud speaker. Thank goodness! Why would anyone need to die here? Hudson thought.

You have, 10 minutes, to discuss who the mafias are and for those given meeting roles to use them. If you don’t need that amount of  please smash the candle to start voting.”

“What’s a meeting role?” Luke mumbled.

A meeting role is as follows: Detainer, Suppressor, and vigilante. The judge is also a meeting role, but it uses its power if a result of a tie happens in voting. Now sending a shock wave which is invisible to the neutral and town team to the mafias for not killing. Failure to bring a kill next night requires serious consequences.”

“Hey!” Luke began, “you can hear us-?”

The clock starts ticking.

“Can we skip-? We lowkey have no information.” Someone asked, and the whole group agreed. Oh well, Hudson knows what he’s gonna do in a few minutes.
