graveyard part 2

hunter's game the graveyard




You wake up in an unfamiliar cabin.

At first, it almost seems like you're in an entirely different place and that everything had been just a dream. The interior of the cabin looks nothing like the run-down, old-timey shacks that you had been living in before. Everything in here is sleek and modern, from the enormous flat-screen TV mounted on the wall to the fridge and mini-bars stocked with all your favorite foods. There aren't any individual rooms in here, just a common area large enough to house everyone comfortably, no matter how many more people join you...and there will be plenty more people joining you before the week is over.

Because if you look outside the window, it quickly becomes clear that not only are you still in Prayer's Pass, but that you are no longer among the realm of the living. Judging from the tombstones directly outside, you're now in what had been the abandoned broken-down cabin in the graveyard. The cabin's not all that changed; the world outside has gone completely grey and everything you see appears to be faded and blurry. The only things that remain sharp and in color are what's inside the cabin, including your fellow ghosts. Occasionally, people who are still alive may enter, but it's clear that what they're seeing is completely different from what you're seeing. The door's unlocked; however, a mysterious force prevents you from stepping beyond the threshold, no matter how hard you may try. After all, this cabin is a cage for the dead - a gilded one, perhaps, but a cage nonetheless.

On the flat-screen TV plays everything that is currently happening in the town. It will shut off once night starts...and something else will appear instead.

[Ema shakes her head, frowning.] No, there's no point in sugar coating it. Luke's role is to sacrifice himself and stop the dying for a night. I'm just afraid he's going to use it now...

What frustrates me most is how little the other hound--the actual hound--is doing. Have they just been asleep? At least several of the other special roles revealed themselves to me so the we could organize behind the scenes without making a target of themselves. I had ideas on to make it work.

Not that it matters now.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya, bitterly pale, frowning over being pushed away and ignored by Rose Lalonde. (Rejected)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-16 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
So the bloodhound didn't reveal themselves, even to you?

Somebody will find your notes, though, won't they - or did you hide them assuming you'd survive...

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Not even to me.

I had the notes on me at the trial, so they perished with me. Luke may have made a copy when he had them last night, but if he didn't... they're lost.

I put contingency plans into place in case I was killed at night. I didn't think I'd need them for if I was executed.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with pursed, green lips, looking up at the sky skeptically. Offscreen her hand is on her hip. (Tch)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-16 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
On you as in on your person? Are you sure they won't be able to search your body?

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure how well paper survives after being submerged in acid. But I suppose they can search my body, if they're willing to risk it.

[She glances at the television; so far, no one's gotten that close as far as she can tell.]
fortissimos: (what a way to end a perfect day)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Awkwardly... waving, this doesn't really get any less weird. ]

At least you're better now. [ A wonderful observation. ] ... I'm sorry about what happened, though.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking over at something, not entirely satisfied, flickering. (Calm)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Follows gaze and... oh, oh yes everyone does seem to be focused on keeping poor Luke away from the acid. Oh.]

Did you keep any less sensitive notes elsewhere? A diary, for instance?

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
You are, too. Physically as well as... ah... [She gestures vaguely at her head. Yeah, totally awkward.]

I... thank you. And likewise.

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
I gave Luke a note last night that he still has about who he can trust. And I might still have notes in my room about who may have killed you--they're hardly useful now.

[She doesn't mention that they were also wildly off base.]my notes. I just hope he's able to pull it together enough to actually do it.
fortissimos: (tear this place apart)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-16 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ahaha... yeah. That thing took away whatever it did when I got here.

[ Nope, not awkward at all. At least she's had nearly a day to stew on this. ]

We've been talking about a lot of stuff. You saw what happened with Hanekoma today, right?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-16 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
It was Bruce. Just in case there's any remaining confusion whatsoever. It was Bruce Wayne. He was "You!!"

[Has she mentioned it was Bruce yet? Oh, no, she inclines her head towards the old man somewhere in the room, a much more emphatic gesture with her horns.] That one.

[personal profile] terryplz 2013-05-16 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
She knows who I am.

[Kanaya plz.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya sparkling white, covered in human blood, which she licks off her face. Zahhak shades for extra hardcore. ((BP)) (Ready)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-16 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
She said "may". I didn't want room for error.

[personal profile] terryplz 2013-05-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Hm.

[He just thinks Kanaya wants to rub it in that he died. He doesn't care though.]
fortissimos: (come in and set this place on fire)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-16 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ just... sniggering a little over here despite herself. good job, Kan. ]
axeforasong: (but look I'm completely innocent yo)

[personal profile] axeforasong 2013-05-16 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
That was a silly trial, wasn't it?

[Granted the death by acid bath wasn't cute either, but the aftermath of watching another poor kid be orphaned...

More devastating to Poland, Lithuania had garnered a vote despite having practically been absolved of guilt by his journal.]


... What a total mess.

It was stupid. They keep convicting people without evidence.

Sometimes they're right. Not enough of the time, though.
axeforasong: (Honestly I wanted to be a lumberjack)

[personal profile] axeforasong 2013-05-16 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
But they're forced to convict someone, yes? Without evidence, is indecisive and up to the Rabbit.

[personal profile] bloodofgrima 2013-05-16 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...But what can we do about it?
notyetlost: (sulking)

[personal profile] notyetlost 2013-05-16 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing trial wise, at least. Not that I'd even bother changing the verdict if we could. [The only solace is that Ema had been prey, really.]

It's just sad.
therealrobin: (pic#6094947)

[personal profile] therealrobin 2013-05-16 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
That means they have to find evidence.

[ Says the ten-year-old who hadn't been able to find any himself. ]

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
... Uh, there wasn't any remaining confusion on that point.

[This is kind of awkward.]

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ohai.

Ema crosses her arms and gives him a look that's not quite severe, but certainly pointed.]


You're shrewd, Mr. Wayne.

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-16 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
That's good.

[Brain washing is Not Okay.]

I did. Luke firmly believes he was the one who did the actual resurrection, but I doubt that's actually the case.
