Re: Mafia Round 5 - Christmas Edition
I found out what happened to uber_paddler:
Prince Uber was nicknamed “the Paddler”, because of a wild water adventure when he was still a young kid. As a seven year old, he had escaped the attention of his tutors and had gone to the river. On a small raft he had paddled through the town's canals. Everybody had come out to watch.
It had been a running joke ever since, and he had kept a nice nickname from the story.
But none of that seemed to matter now. Ever since his fiancé had died, the prince had been struggling to keep his head clear. True, it was an arranged marriage and he barely knew his bride, but he had looked forward to it anyway. She was pretty, and supposedly intelligent too. And now she was gone, because of this big conspiracy that he didn't want anything to do with. His parents had enemies, he had not. It made him so angry. He was supposed to have been married now, but here he was, locked up in his own castle. People were even suspecting him! As if he would kill his own wife. Admittedly, the thought, that had been done before.
He walked through the corridors, going for the latrine to empty his bowels. He was dead tired and he needed some time alone. He picked a nice spot near the window and squatted above the hole. The cold air came in and stroke his four cheeks. It was refreshing, but it also made him realize how tired he really was. He hadn't slept in 3 days. He decided to close his eyes, just for a few seconds...
“My Lord! My Lord! I bear disturbing news! Your son, he fell from the latrine's room. He hit one of the rocks in the canal. I saw him fall with my own eyes, and I sent guards to find him. He... he is dead, my lord.”
Queen Kitana, eyes still red from the last casualty, burst out into a hysterical sobbing. King Neo did not say a word. He just turned around and went into his room.
