Drip...
Drop..
You’re half drunk stumbling down a dark alleyway in the middle of January when it begins to rain.
“OH GREAT. JUST WHAT I NEED RIGHT NOW.”
And then you drop your phone. Directly into a puddle.
“FUCK MY LIFE.”
Luckily, iPhones are waterproof now so you aren’t too concerned. You bend over to pick it up and your screen lights up with a notification.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
You ignore it, shake off the water from your screen and put it back in your jacket pocket. You’ll respond later, but its beginning to rain harder now and you need to get out of the storm.
As you walk further down the alley you notice a homeless man begging for change. You stare at your feet as you walk and ignore him as you pass. Its raining hard now and you are just trying to get home. You continue down to the end of the alley, turn the corner and...
Drip...

You’re half drunk stumbling down a dark alleyway in the middle of January when it begins to rain.
“OH GREAT. JUST WHAT I NEED- wait...“
And then you drop your phone. Directly into a puddle.
FUCK. Deja vu is a trip. You shake it off, and bend down to grab your phone when it lights up with a notification.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
Weird, but whatever. You need to get out of the rain and so you shove the phone back into your jacket pocket and continue down the alley. As you get further down the alley you notice a homeless man begging for change, cup out, awaiting your offering. You ignore him. At this point you are soaked and just trying to get home. You reach the end of the alleyway, turn the corner and...
Drip...

You’re half drunk stumbling down a dark alleyway in the middle of January when it begins to rain.
“OH GREAT, JUST WHAT I NEED- What the fuck”
You remember this. This isnt Deja vu. You pull out your phone and begin scrolling through your text messages.
“YOOOO. ITS FRIIIIDAY. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANSSSS. LETS GET FUCKED UPPPPP”
“Sorry i missed your call, I was in the bathroom, those last couple shots had me tipsy. Where’d you go cutie?”
“Babe, just come home. We can figure it all out in the morning. I love you.”
“Don’t let that bitch get to you. Come back. ITS FRIIIIDAY”
A notification pops up on your screen. You already know what it says.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
You text back rapidly. “IM STUCK IN A TIME LOOP”
“Yo, tell me about it. I think we had too much to drink.”
Sigh. What did you really expect? You put your phone back in your pocket and accidentally step in the puddle as you walk to the end of the alleyway. Great. Now your sock is wet. What else could go wrong? You once more ignore the homeless person and reach the turn, hoping for a different result this time. You turn the corner and...
Drip...
Drop..
Drip...
You drop your phone in the puddle, not giving a fuck this time. You run down the alleyway, past the homeless man, turn the corner and...
Drip...
Drop..

“FUUUUUCK.”
You drop your phone. Directly into a puddle.
“FUCK MY LIFEEEEE” You scream to the heavens with your arms raised in anguish. “WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM MEEEEE.”
You notice the homeless man looks at you strangely like you’re the weird one in this dark ass alleyway. Maybe you are.
Your phone vibrates in the puddle and you bend down to pick it up.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
You wipe off your phone, put it back into your pocket and slowly walk down the alley toward your inevitable fate. As you pass the homeless man, you read his sign for the first time.
“A friend can save a life.”
He holds out his cup of change, and you rummage through your pockets and pull out your wallet. You put the whole thing in his cup, knowing that as soon as you turn the corner you’ll have it back anyway. He nods his thanks as you continue down the alley. You reach the end, turn the corner and....

As you bend down to pick it up, it begins to ring. UNKNOWN CALLER flashes on the screen.
Startled, you look down toward the homeless man at the end of the alley. He is smiling at you as he waves your wallet.
‘Thats certainly... different.’ you think to yourself.
Your phone continues to ring.. You hesitate, but eventually decide to answer it. A voice is present on the other side.
“Are you ready?”
Before you can answer, your phone vibrates. You look at it and notice a text.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
Without warning, the puddle suddenly opens up underneath you and you fall into a dark abyss....
You fall for what seems like an eternity before you land with a thud in absolute darkness. You sit there for a moment, raindrops still landing on you from no visible source. Great. Its dark, you cant see shit, and youre still wet. Out of nowhere you notice a light on the ground pop up. You crawl over to it and realize its your phone.
“HEY BEST FRIEND 😜. WYA?”
Your fingers fly furiously as you pound out a reply
“I WAS STUCK IN A FUCKING TIME LOOP THEN I GAVE A HOMELESS DUDE MY WALLET AND THEN A PORTAL TO HELL OR SOMETHING OPENED UP AND NOW ITS FUCKING DARK AND I CANT SEE SHIT.”
“Turn on your flashlight dumbass.”
Oh yeah, you are a dumbass. Its 2017, phones have lights on them now. You turn on your flashlight and notice the only thing in this room is a large wooden door. Your phone vibrates again.
“Open the door dumbass.”
You’re understandably confused, but you heed your friends advice. What else are you supposed to do? You saunter over to the doorway, grip the large brass doorknob and open the door to a new room. On the opposite side standing next to a door identical to the one you just came through is your friend.
“Took you fuckin long enough.”
“Fuck you.”
Your friend nods to the left and you notice another door, though different from the one you and your friend had just come through. Its large and made of metal, with no visible handle. There is however, a set of handprints, one on each side of the door.
“I cant open it without you.”
You sigh and head over to the door. When you reach it, you go to one side and your friend goes to the other. You look over to your friend who looks back at you in turn and shrugs.
“You got any better ideas?”
You shake your head and place your hand on the marking, which turns green, causing the door to slide up. On the other side you see a blinding white light. Your gaze once more lands on your best friend.
“YOLO.”
And with that, the two of you step into the unknown.

WELCOME TO THE 2018 HYDRA SIGNUPS.
This is how it works. Privately group yourself into two person teams and PM me who you want to work with for this game of mafia. In your pm please also tell me what your team name will be. You two will then take that team name, create an account with that name, and share that account for the game, posting as a single entity. During the game you can communicate with your partner however you like, be it discord, slack, QT, pms, whatever. I dont care. Do you boo boo. I would however, appreciate to be invited to the conversation if possible.
Important: DO NOT POST WHO YOU ARE TEAMING UP WITH IN THIS THREAD. We’ll reveal that at the end of the game. The sign up list will consist only of team names.
Dont worry about doing this quickly. You have time. This wont start until January sometime so you have plenty of time to group into teams. I’ll take as many as I can get.
