In a 9-person game with 2 mafia, I think we're in pretty good shape to start with. We just need to kill lots of people really quickly, and then we'll soon be able to outvote the town.
We should both pick a cover role to pretend to be. I'll pretend to be an investigator/superhero (functionally equivalent with these rules...). I think a good cover for you, asjm, would be desperado. It might buy you some time, and it won't be especially suspicious that you haven't gone desperado yet a couple days down the road. I think vigilante might also be a reasonable cover role, but if there's a real vigilante in town, they might get suspicious because 2 vigilantes is probably too strong in such a small game. Same with 2 cynics being too strong.
Assuming the gods reply in the affirmative to my rules question about using a hitman, I think we should hire a hitman right away to make an early day 1 kill at ET right after 11pm, probably to kill Lucy. Lucy is the most dangerous player to us, IMO, and we need to take her out as soon as possible. This will cast suspicion on fmajluf7, as well as Daniel Grazian (who is going over there tonight to play a board game). If day 0 item transfers are also allowed, then it's quite likely that Daniel Grazian will give her his medkit, so we should tell the hitman to use kaboom.
Otherwise, the two of us should make kills pretty much every day. We should aim for at least 2 town deaths per day. I think we should make you the don, because I'm more likely to crash and burn. We should use our mafia powers, in particular set a trap and slaughter the weak, pretty liberally.
I can kill Lane (I'm going to see him on Tuesday), and Daniel Grazian. You can get to the EC players. This leaves Miranda (we can poison her), and fmajluf7 (assuming we hitmanned Lucy, we hope she gets lynched).
