CAPOREGIME
McGillis and Jack you are the Caporegimes.
After the events of the Welcome Feast, McGillis and Jack will hear a particular melody of a flute, following it (no matter how long it takes) will lead them to an emerald door that is slightly ajar.
On the desk sits a man with light blond hair and an eyepatch, flute between his lips.
❦ The caporegimes are Hamelin's captains, and responsible for making sure that murders happen in a timely cadence. Mainly this is achieved by the caporegimes selecting an effect each week that affects the group at large starting week two. However, Hamelin encourages murder by any means necessary, so a Caporegime who talked someone into murder would be just as welcomed. Manipulation is A-OK!
❦ Effect selection must be agreed upon by Monday 10 AM EST/7AM PST. This can be done entirely on an OOC basis by responding to the weekly thread by any time prior to the deadline. If you would like to thread out selection among the caporegime's and Hamelin, feel free to!
❦ In exchange, the caporegimes will not be required to kill in order to obtain their wish. As long as a murder occurs every week, their wish will be granted at the conclusion of the game. Additionally caporegimes are immune from the weekly effect (but may still find it in their interest to fake it, if necessary).
❦ OOC'ly as long as there is a kill proposal every week, (sans week 1), the caporegimes will be fulfilling their role. In the event of no kill proposals, one of the caporegimes will be tapped to murder that week though they may still select the victim of their choice.
❦ To seal this vow for all parties, both caporegimes will be branded with a symbol at the location of their choosing. It will not be visible unless Hamelin or the caporegime wills it, or in the event of the death.
❦ You can use this page to thread out capo-capo interactions or in a group with Hamelin as you wish. You may still use Hamelin's private post as necessary.
❦ You may divulge your role at any point in the game you like, and to any numbers of characters you like. Be aware, however, that there is no protection offered to the caporegimes. Additionally, there are other roles in the game who may try to thwart your efforts.

[With movements a lot more leisurely than McGillis', he's putting himself at rights again, tucking away his layers and smoothing out all his edges. His hand remains resting over his chest for a few moments, fingers cradling the spot at which the brand now sits.
His mouth quirks a little more, whimsical, a different shade of amusement.]
There are many societies in which a simple descriptor like 'crime family' doesn't stand out so much, I'm afraid -- I'm willing to bet there are families in our neck of the woods that would give such groups a run for their money. [it's lighthearted, the lightness done with care] I really am curious how far, exactly, this mafia of yours goes.
I suppose we will all find out, sooner or later.
[And his hand falls away, Jack seemingly satisfied with that explanation for now. And--]
Oh, yes, one more thing. Why an apple?
no subject
It is good to know though, that the mark will fade from view. That means he himself won't have to look at it more than necessary, too. ]
I imagine it's Snow White's poison apple?
no subject
[ In what way remains to be seen, but Hamelin doesn't mind answering Jack's lightness with his own. Smiles really are just mere accessories in this room after all. ]
...close enough, Gil. Where I'm from, every familigia had their own crest. Some of 'em are creative and some of 'em aren't: Famiglia Boots was literally a boot inlaid on a crest, but that kitten could never be bothered with anything other than sharpening her claws.
Apples are as much a part of the Grimm family as our love for bread.
no subject
[Does he know the tale of Snow White?? Puss-in-Boots??
If he does, he ain't showing it. If he doesn't, he also isn't showing it -- it's about the same level of easy intrigue given to the other mentions of the Grimms and their tales and machinations, perhaps a shade lighter. It still isn't the countenance of someone whose fate is concerned in all of it; that faded away the moment he called Hamelin a teller of tales himself.]
... including how lovingly appointed our local bakery has been. We have you to thank for that, then. [and brightly once more:] One more question, pray, for the sake of future planning: other than the price for our wishes, I imagine our participation in this game is just the same. In other words, we are given free rein should anyone mark us as their target. Yes?
no subject
And while we're on left-over questions, I do have one more. You said one murder per week, but for how many weeks do we need to keep it up? I assume you don't want everyone else to kill each other until there is only one last man standing.
no subject
Right, right. I can't protect you, but if you need something I'll see what I can do. [ Perks of the job and all. ]
Hmm...I'd rather not put a number on it in case we need a little improv. But! I'll let you know when we're halfway through and so on. Fair enough?
