The next few minutes seemed to slowly drag on as Korina steadily emptied the room of everyone except you. When you were the last person in the room and when he finally returned, he silently stared at you—an amused expression lingering on his face. "Now, I've told everyone the same thing already, but I'm going to say it again: I'm going to lead you to a room with your name on it. When you get there, I want you to stay in that room, and write down on the sheet of paper what action you're going to take tonight for our little game of mafia. Realistically, I know that won't happen, so I've included the materials you need to LARP your action. My only requests are that you don't snoop around, and that no matter what you do, you do
not
let the goose out. Understood?" he emphetically expressed.
You simply nodded in reply. That seemed to be a good enough response for Korina, as he lead you out of the courtroom and down a hallway. Out of the corner of your eye, you noticed that on each of the doors were flimsy gold plates, each engraved with a different name. At the very end of the hall was your room. Korina simply opened the door, gently ushered you in, and then closed it. You could hear his footsteps receeding down the hall until there was silence. That silence didn't last very long until you heard someone open their door and discreetly whisper-shout "Is he gone?"
Nobody replied; however, to whoever said it, that was sign enough. A few seconds later, you heard the hallway suddenly burst to life as people started frantically milling about. You didn't even bother grabbing what was left inside the room before exiting into the chaotic mess. You couldn't tell where Korina was, and you were wanting to get an edge on everyone else in the game, so you did the only logical thing: You started snooping around. You figured you had roughly a few minutes before Korina would return, so you decided to hurry down the hallway and see what you could find. It didn't take you very long. You quickly found someone wearing Oblivion Guard armor, and standing outside of a door, shouting "Stop! You have violated the law! Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence! Your stolen goods are now forfeit!" at anyone who passed them—or even tried to enter that room for that matter. You also could hear some omnious, cult-like chanting, but you weren't sure where it was coming from, as well as the sound of a nerf gun being fired, only to have two nerf guns fire in unison.
But the thing that drew your attention the most was the door labeled "Keep out - Goose." You know that Korina told you not to let the goose out, but you weren't sure what that exactly meant. You weren't even sure if he could be trusted about that—he did kidnap you after all. Slowly opening the door, you stuck your head inside. Contained in the room was a goose. It blankly stared at you before honking and flapping its wings. It did this a few more times before running towards you. You instantly leapt backwards in shock as the goose escaped the room. The entire hallway went silent as the goose stepped out into it. It looked around at a few pepole—intermittetly honking at them—as Korina re-entered the hallway, holding several sheets of paper in one of his paws.
He didn't seem to have noticed the goose—he was still too intently focused on the paper he was holding—as he began to say "Hey guys, we're about to begin..." He paused, looking up. His gaze instantly fell upon the goose as it stared back at him. His expression immediately fell. "Who let out the goose?" he plainly asked in a deadly whisper. Nobody said anything. Korina sighed as he closed his eyes. "Alright, just ignore the goose, and everything should be fine. Let's all go back to the courtroom for now, and someone else will take care of the goose, alright?" he concluded with, as he turned around.
When he was no longer facing the goose, you noticed the goose lowering its head as it started rapidly waddling towards Korina. Before he could do anything, you noticed the goose grab the papers he was holding and run away with them. It didn't take long for Korina to catch up with the goose and start trying to get the papers back. The goose however, didn't want to let go of the papers. This went on for a few moments before you could hear the sound of torn paper echoing through the hall along with a loud thud. Everyone instantly turned to look at Korina, who was now on the floor, holding half of the sheets he once had, while the goose ran away, triumphantly honking. He slowly got up off the ground as he looked at the papers.
Not even a second later, you saw him lower his head in defeat as he turned to face the group. "Alright, I'm going to be honest here with you guys. The goose stole half of the papers, and that half contained information about your roles, how many charges of certain abilities you had left, and today's event. Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to bullshit that entire missing half, and since none of you fessed up about letting the goose out, I feel like this is entirely justified: For today, and today alone, nobody will have their roles revealed, and this isn't related to the goose at all, but I'm alive in the game once again. Ok? Ok. Get back in the courtroom. We're continuing the game," he angrily said, turning to enter the courtroom.
