Ideally, I'd want at least nine. That lets me have a clear majority.

For now this is just a signup thread (unless I'm not allowed to make a new thread for the actual game later, at which point I'll convert it when I have enough ponies.) For those who don't know how to play Mafia, the rules are simple, especially for this, the first game. 1) Once I have enough ponies, the game will begin. A certain number of players will be sent a PM informing them that they're Mafia, as well as the other members of the Mafia. All other ponies are "town" 2) Town's job is to eliminate all members of the Mafia. Mafia's is to eliminate all members of the Town. 3) Gameplay is divided into two phases, Day and Night. 4) At the beginning of each day, I'll be giving a count of players still in the game, and the number of votes needed for a majority. 5) Each player may vote for any one other player. Only their last vote counts, but they can change at any time. (For sake of ease, please bold your vote and put it on a separate line.) 6) Day ends when a majority is reached, at which point the selected pony is 'lynched', or eliminated from play. I will reveal then whether they were Mafia or Town. Alternately, a vote of 'No-Lynch' can be reached by a majority, which will cause the game to proceed directly to night. 7) Mafia, AND ONLY MAFIA, may PM one another to select one player from the remaining Town. 8) Night ends when the Mafia leader PMs me the Mafia's choice for the night, who is then 'executed', or eliminated from play. 9) Play ends when either all Mafia are eliminated or the Mafia forms the majority.

Mint blushed a little and chuckled as he flicked the rag off to the side "Yeah. My parents won't let me practice at home any more, too many broken dishes." he said, remembering the time he'd toppled their china cabinet with a poorly placed jolt. He shook his head a little and resumed with "I'll go ahead and gather up one of everything, then! And I'll let Chocolate and Graham know we have a customer. This won't take long!" He trotted through a swinging door and into the kitchen, where he relayed the information to the other ponies who could just barely be made out through the glass still. A couple of minutes later, he trotted back out with a basket full of baked goods in his teeth, looking rather proud of himself. He set it down on the counter, next to the register, and said "Alright, it'll be a while, but Chocolate said the fresh muffins are almost done, and he's started on a batch of coffee strudels. Graham made the recipe last week, and they're really good!" He announced, then continued with a smirk "Plus, you'll be the first customer to try the Vanilla Almond surprise muffins!"

Mint eagerly trotted over to the counter where the goods from the previous day were housed. "I don't think we have any cupcakes left." he said as he nudged the cabinet open with his hoof, "But there is a cherry creme danish. And a couple of apple turnovers, I think. I'll ask if we have any more of the strawberry shortbread muffins from yesterday, is there anything you'd like to order in the meantime?" He asked as he pulled a menu out from beside the register (leaving the cabinet open) and laid it on the counter in front of Lapis. About this time, the rag from earlier finally fell down and landed on Mint's head, only missing his eyes by an inch or two and causing the unicorn to duck down defensively behind the counter and out of sight. He came back up sheepishly a few seconds later and said "Sorry about that, miss Lazuli. I've been trying to get that spell under control, but it's not going well."

Mint's ears perked as he raised his head (which sent the rag flying into the rafters). "Oh! A customer! We're just opening up, ma'am, but I can put an order in for you if you want something! Or we have some day old pastries if you want something right away! Oh! Unless you're here for a room! I can do that too!" He announced as he trotted from place to place behind the counters. "My name is Mint! Mint Zest!", he said when he finally slowed down enough to remember to, "and welcome to the Avalon Inn." He bowed his head almost cheesily to Lapis as he introduced himself, causing his mane to fall down over his eyes. Chip, watching from behind the glass, chuckled and poked the window with his horn, causing it to take on a frosted appearance while he got back to work.

Situated on one of the lower terraces, this inn boasts some of the most exotic tastes in all of Equestria! The building itself is fairly run of the mill, with a large central area that doubles as both dining room and foyer. A counter runs the length of the wall the stairs are connected to, and the adjacent one, opposite the front door, behind which the staff are normally positioned. The room keys are all kept under the stairs, while the other side of the counter is reserved for kitchen business, as the kitchen is located behind a large window that can be dimmed or cleared by any unicorn with a fairly simple cantrip. When cleared, it's easy to see why the Avalon boasts such exotic flavours, as the kitchen is packed to the brim with rare herbs, spices, and seasonings, all of which are clearly visible on the shelves just inside. One can even usually see the inn's owner, Graham Cracker, plying his art. -~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~-.-~'@'~- Mint Zest was manning the counters today, which, since it wasn't particularly busy yet, meant that he was wiping down the counter. Which meant that he was pushing a damp rag around the counter using his magic. And since it was Mint doing the magic, this meant that it was less 'pushing' and more 'flying from end to end like it was in a slingshot and missing most of the counter on the way'. Which was having less than the desired effect. It was, however, amusing Chocolate Chip to no end, causing the younger colt to smile at his friend through the frosted glass while he waited for his most recent batch of muffins to finish baking. They were a creation of Graham's, Vanilla Almond Surprise muffins. The surprise was that there were chunks of honeyed apples baked in with the almonds, and from what Chip had tasted, they were going to be a top seller for sure! Graham, ever the gourmand, wasn't so sure and was already hard at work on a new batter, which he was mixing a few spices into without the magic that Chip or Mint would have used. His apron was already stained with honey that had splashed onto him earlier, but he hardly noticed, and indeed was humming to himself cheerfully as he worked.

Just wanted to see if anypony would be interested in me opening up the Avalon for potential RP. The Inn is in Canterlot, and could serve as a hangout/springboard.

Edited in a bit more of his personality.

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Mint Zest Gender: Male Age: Colt/teen Species: Unicorn Pelt Color: Mint green Mane/Tail Color & Style: Dark green, his mane has only recently really started coming into its own, and he hasn't decided what to do with either it or his tail. Eye Color: Purple/Teal/Orange (his magic sometimes backfires, and he has a tendency to hit himself in the eyes when it does.) (Even his parents have forgotten what colour they were to start with.) Cutie Mark: A mint leaf with a white eight point star under it. Physique: A bit on the gangly side. Residence: Cantorlot Occupation: Manages the front room in the Avalon, taking orders and seeing to guests. Motivation: Mint tends to be in some form of trouble or another any time he's not working, because of the showoffish nature of his friends. When left to his own devices, he's a likable pony, and the life of a party. Not that he knows how to put that to use. Likes: Fruits, Fillies, the colour orange, Ice cream, Parties Dislikes: Being alone, the colour blue, Fudge, Spicy things Character Summary: Mint comes from a large family, and grew up surrounded by fillies and colts of all ages. He's never really been alone for more than a few minutes in his life, but he's never minded that, and in fact gets timid and scared when left alone for too long. He tends to gravitate towards ponies who like showing off, because he can usually count on them being somewhere nearby. His parents made him get a job at the inn to help him grow out of that phase (and to save their furniture from his attempts to harness his magic).

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Chocolate Chip Gender: Male Age: Colt/teenager Species: Unicorn Pelt Color: Sandy brown Mane/Tail Color & Style: Dark brown with medium streaks highlighting them. Both mane and tail flow down and curl toward the ends. Eye Color: Brown Cutie Mark: Three chocolate chips arranged in a triangle pointing forward. Physique: A little bit on the heavy side, but nothing out of line. Residence: Cantorlot Occupation: Cook Motivation: Chip loves to cook, and ESPECIALLY to bake treats. Likes: Chocolate, Cookies, Cakes, the colour brown, Autumn Dislikes: Summer, the colour black, Fish, Mint (the flavour, not the pony) Character Summary: Chip comes from a small family that lives on the outskirts of the terrace the Avalon is built on (in fact, his father helped build the building that would eventually become the inn) so when his cutie mark showed up one day while he was baking cookies with his mother, it was a natural choice for him to work for an inn. The Avalon was the closest one hiring when his parents decided he was old enough to have a job, and he's been happy as a clown since then. He tends to have a lot more control over his magic than most unicorns his age, but that stems from the fact that he knows his limits, and mostly uses it to help him cook. When he's not working he tends to be withdrawn and timid, especially around new ponies, and both in and out of the kitchen he tends to avoid taking risks for fear of upsetting folks. This leads to him not really handling direct criticism well, even when it's honestly well-intended. He also has a bit of an eating problem that's really only kept in check by his metabolism and the long walk from the inn to his house that he takes at least twice a day (even on days off, he goes in to check on things and hang out with Mint and the other ponies usually in the Avalon.)

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Graham Cracker Gender: Male Age: Stallion Species: Pony Pelt Color: Blonde Mane/Tail Color & Style: Brown, though his mane isn't all that prominent. He keeps his tail in a tight braid. Eye Color: Blue Cutie Mark: A set of graham crackers Physique: Slightly muscular Residence: Cantorlot Occupation: Inkeeper for the Avalon Motivation: Graham has always had a love of food, both domestic and exotic. His calling has been to share it with as many people as he can, but mostly with his family. Likes: New flavours, Praise for his food, Positive feedback, Close-knit communities, the colour yellow. Dislikes: Extreme flavours (ie. very sour things, or very spicy things), Stubborn people, Personal praise (his wife can get away with this from time to time), Bland food, the colour brown-green, Food critics Character Summary: When he was a young colt, he accidentally knocked a bowl of nuts into a cake his mother was baking, and after it turned out better than her usual cakes, he realized that sometimes new things can be good, even exciting! He earned his cutie mark three days later when, after making a complete MESS in the kitchen, he managed to make not one or two, but FIVE new treats for his friends that were all very well recieved (after his mother let him back out of the house to share them.). Since then he's been constantly experimenting and trying new ways of cooking, new ingredients, and new styles of food. His driven nature is what attracted his wife, Cloud-Dancer, to him, and what led to his closing his shop in ponyville and moving to Cantorlot to raise his family and spread his food far and wide. He's known for spending hours, days, or even weeks at a time on developing new tastes to the exclusion of all else, which led his wife to eventually convince him to hire a pair of younger colts to run the front room and do the order-cooking. He has yet to regret that decision.

[ Pony Related Character ] Name: Honeywing Gender: Male Age: Stallion Species: Pegasus Pelt Color: White, with gold coloured flight feathers Mane/Tail Color & Style: Blonde, and either loosely braided or left flowing when he can't get any help with the braiding Eye Color: Blue Cutie Mark: A golden ring Physique: Fit, neither muscular nor pudgy Residence: Officially, Cantorlot Occupation: Diplomatic Courier, carrying messages and gifts between Canterlot and Equestria's neighbors (or pretty much wherever he's sent) Motivation: His cutie mark is a halo, representing his desire to help other people as best as he can. Likes: Honey, Apples, Warm blankets, Long flights, Afternoon naps, Orange tea, the colour blue, Pleasant people Dislikes: Cold weather, Sticky things, Briar patches, Overly sweet things, Loud people, Stubborn people, the colour grey Character Summary: Honeywing likes helping people sort out their differences whenever he can. His current job as a courier allows him to meet new people in exotic lands, improving pony relations with other nations and other creatures. He hopes to one day act as an ambassador and mediator, but he knows that he has a long way to go before he's ready. He was born in Ponyville, but he and his family moved to Canterlot shortly thereafter when his father, who was an earth pony, was able to open a shop there. His mother, a pegasus, gave flying lessons to the local pegasus colts and fillies, including Honeywing once he was old enough, and passed on her love of being in the air to him.
