Mafia IV - The story

(any additions from players are very welcome)

Background

The mysterious cyborg known only as "the umpire" appeared in town a few years ago, and appears to be devoted solely to two functions: the selection of the Mayor, done in some ill-understood but apparently perfect way, and the reporting of the deaths of the townspeople. Rumours abound: he is immortal, his programming prevents him from killing any others, he's been sent from the future to kill Sarah Donnelly - but who can guess what his true abilities are?

Visiting children have been a part of the village's life for as long as any of the residents can remember; they love to visit the island in the centre of the lake, steal olives, and generally be irritating little buggers. In the past few days, however, there have been strange happenings somehow connected with these children. Rumours abound of secret ways, paedophiles, and telepathy resulting from possession by alien biotechnology, perhaps connected with the meteorite seen to land on the island a few days ago. Certainly a sizeable proportion of the (small) population seems to believe some of their fellow townspeople have been possessed by some sort of biotechnology, and if some reports are to be believed, they seem to know who each other are and be capable of working together.

The Mayor has called a meeting to discuss these issues, at 7:30 pm on Wednesday 7 in his home, represented by H1 Burrell's Field. The mysterious enchantments upon it will prevent any of the townspeople under his care being killed until after they have returned to their homes or elsewhere.

Thierry Morello

Thursday: Having received a new 'work' request, Thierry is set to meet his potential new client 'Mariusz' this evening at the cover of a film show. Word has it that he has tickets for the 6:30pm-9:30pm showing of CUCAS in the Chetwynd Room in King's College, but it may prove impossible to contact him in the venue itself. Also he is likely to be out of bounds for some of the way there while carrying heavy equipment (but should not be carrying anything on the way back).

Friday: Amongst other tasks of checking the background of his new client and case (mostly in the hope of digging up dirt), Thierry will speak to some of his contacts he knows under his guise as a salesman. Although we found most patterns hard to pin down, we have confirmed that one of these meetings will occur in Borders at around 2:30pm.

Saturday: Thierry is a major player in the Piersanti Gambling Ring, and will be attending the high-stake events being held at their secret base in Burrell's Field Common Room from 2pm to some point after 6pm. With so much money on the line security will be very tight, and so unauthorised access to the event itself will be impossible.

Sunday: Happy with his arrangements for his latest scheme, Thierry will meet up with Mariusz again to confirm terms and payment. The specifics of the deal are unknown, but will take place at some point during the 4pm-7:15pm showing of CUCAS in Sidney Sussex R's common room. Again, the venue has been chosen to make it impossible to make contact with Thierry or Mariusz at the scene itself.

Monday: Before making any progress on the work itself, Thierry will need to check that Mariusz's upfront payment has safely wired to his account, which involves a complicated set of transactions to cover his tracks. As such, in the region of 1pm-2pm he will be found checking balances at several of the major banks in the central area. It would be unwise to threaten him at any of these venues, but it may be possible to tail him between them.

Tuesday: Getting down to business, Thierry will make his way into Market Hostel shortly after noon. Amongst other dealings, he will use the facilities therein to make lunch.

Wednesday: Completing an easy job, Thierry will return to Market Hostel at 2:30pm and choose an opportune moment to leave a new message on the outer whiteboard.

Francesca Borgia

Thursday: Francesca will organise a book group meeting in Mill Lane Lecture Room 3 at 11am. At 3pm that afternoon she will meet a senior librarian for the district in a nearby village at Camera di Scienza Matematica.

Friday: Francesca will be so terribly excited about the new shipment of books arriving in the post that she will get up at 9am to go to the post office in Mill Lane room 3 to collect them.

Saturday: Francesca is still having trouble deciding whether to visit the Piersanti Gambling Ring in Burrell's Field at 2pm, since some of her friends will be there but she suspects not all of their activities are strictly legal, given the security they insist on, or she may go to the Camera della bandierina in 11 Fitz St at 2pm.

Sunday: Francesca is such a devout Papist, she will obviously attend the 9am Anglican service in Peterhouse Chapel.

Monday: There will be another shipment of books arriving at the Mill Lane room 3 post office at 9am.

Tuesday: The book group meet once more at 11am in Mill Lane. Hopefully by now some of them will have actually got hold of a copy of the book. Francesca will visit Camera di Scienza Matematica at 3pm to get extra copies for those who are still disorganised.

Wednesday: She will collect the extra books from the post office in Mill Lane room 3 at 9am. Having finished her duties for the week, Francesca will then visit her fourth cousin in the prison of Azkaban, also known as William Stone Building, Peterhouse, at 1pm.

Han-Ley Tang

If the immortal but sadly intoxicable umpire recalls correctly, Han-Ley will visit Sainsbury's at 7pm each day, except for Sunday when he visits at 4:00pm.

Wednesday, 14 March: I'll be spending the afternoon at Queen Edith's Primary School: leaving home at around 12.15pm, getting there for about 1.30pm, leaving again just after 3.30pm and getting home by about 4.45pm.
