night post; graveyard



With night's fall, the television broadcasting everything happening in town turns off; even the ghosts will have to be kept in suspense over who will be joining them come morning. A list appears on the table in front of the TV with a ballpoint pen lying next to it.

Ghosts, what will you unlock?
The jail - unlocked
The school
The church - unlocked
The gallery - unlocked
The supply shop - unlocked
??????? (audio) - unlocked
??????? (video) - unlocked
??????? (scrap) - Abigail's diary (unlocked)
??????? (scrap) - Abigail's diary (unlocked)
??????? (scrap) - unlocked
??????? (scrap) - unlocked
??????? (scrap)


You will have until 6:00 AM to make your choice, before the list disappears and the television flickers back on.

((OOC: This post will work a little different from other night posts! You do not have to show up every night in order to perform your role, and there will be no punishment for not doing so; however, we highly encourage you to do so as it will make the game more fun! You can also tag whenever you want instead of waiting for night to start; we'll put up a new 'night' comment at each day start.))
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking over at something, not entirely satisfied, flickering. (Calm)

So... you think both prey and hunters should want to be of use here.

[man just

you had her at helpful]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with unexpected pale hands on her shoulders, flickering a little like a headlight-captured antlerbeast. (Infected)

[Play on

Her mind darts to the suggestions Critter made for a sacrifice and... Her tangible objects are basically negligible - she bought a few books that aren't with her now; the possession Kanaya misses most right now is her Prayer's Pass issued diary for crying out loud. And though she has her physical body, still, somehow it's possible she'll get even luckier in the future. She can't reduce her own usefulness. But her own happiness, that's surely something she can sacrifice.]


Just how valuable a memory does a sacrifice have to be?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya heroic, having jumped in the air with her fist raised, righteous, if regrettably scribbled. (Closure)

[Her mind can race faster than her tongue for at least a little while. The past four days have been intense to say the least; she could be bargained up easily, after this stretch of a hundred hours where nothing but Prayer's Pass has mattered. On the other hand, when she thinks about the end of this game, getting out of this hellhole, going back to the meteor, where the human race is still borderline extinct and she didn't receive any actual information on saving the world here... she could be bargained down.

Who would care? And when that question comes to her, what she has to give up is instantly obvious.]


What about every single memory I have of Rose Lalonde? From the rumors I've heard you probably know that she's the only person left to whom I matter at all.

[James Sunderland gave up the letter from his wife, he might as well start a trend in the process.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya reapplying jade lipstick, tainted with human blood, to her sparkling bloody face. (Preparing)

This isn't final yet; I should still verify this with the other ghosts, especially if someone else wants to go first. But... right now what I have in mind is the church.

Wait, what's the real game?

[You're confusing him now Critter.]

You're not exactly making this easy to win.
