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.

[Eat throw pillow Damian.]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with raised eyebrows, nervously mouthing off to dispel something she would like to consider a really bad joke. (Caught Off Guard)

Interrogators can fail. But whatever.

[ Eat one yourself, Poland. You can use your moronade to wash it down. ]

[ And suddenly, Damian looks just as dangerous as he does tiny. ]

Say it again.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya jabbering snarkily. Jade lipstick. (Disapproval)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Interrogations can fail. Why else would Ema Skye be here?
notyetlost: (polish rule is in effect)

[Whatever remaining liquid in Sayaka's cup is left is now being thrown in Damian's face.]
fortissimos: (so find a place to die with honour)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-22 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... That sounds kinda dangerous.

[ Sayaka it's called foreign food ]
fortissimos: (lose yourself before your pride)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey!

[ why is she stuck being the mature one here ]
notyetlost: (hissy fit)

[personal profile] notyetlost 2013-05-22 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He started it.
notyetlost: (what the heck?)

[personal profile] notyetlost 2013-05-22 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... [He doesn't hear that often regarding his food.] You know not every nation is as bad at cooking as like England and America, right?

[As the trial starts, Luke is closely watching the TV screen with snacks he's pulled from the fridge.]

So this is what everyone else was doing while the trial was going on. It's a lot different watching everything on the telly.

[It's kind of exciting.]
hintcoinplz: (Broody McBroodface)

[personal profile] hintcoinplz 2013-05-22 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Protector? Oh, right. You mean England.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya jabbering snarkily. Jade lipstick. (Disapproval)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
We mean America, we found out the truth about that days ago.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking over at something, not entirely satisfied, flickering. (Calm)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[The trial starts? The trial starts! Kanaya sits down a few moments later with a generous deep violet drink.]

Yes, it is. For one thing it sometimes makes it possible to read notes. And in general this perspective reduces tunnel vision.
hintcoinplz: (Didn't expect that)

[personal profile] hintcoinplz 2013-05-22 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
...America's the real protector? I mean, I know England wasn't the real one since he's a hunter, but...

speakveryclearly: Kanaya looks down at a computer screen casting purple light on her intense face. (Serious)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. It's America. That's how the hunters were so effectively able to manipulate him.
hintcoinplz: mh_design @ LJ (Smiling)

[personal profile] hintcoinplz 2013-05-22 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Wow. Too bad they can't hear us on the other side.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with mercilessly raised eyebrows and a wide smirk on her teasing lips. (Smug)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You could say that again.

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-22 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
In some ways, it's more frustrating--because we can't communicate the obvious with the people who are still alive.

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-22 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ema, with a(nother) beer, peers over at the drink Kanaya's holding.]

What is that?
notyetlost: (shut up)

[personal profile] notyetlost 2013-05-22 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
DON'T ASK.

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-22 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aaaaand looking up at Poland.]

Why not?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya stares up at Gamzee, who is grinning, with flat jade lips and resigned eyes. (Tolerance)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Blood. [With this she begins to drink it.]

[personal profile] glowing_skye 2013-05-22 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[She frowns a bit. Considering that Kanaya's blood is green, the purple blood shouldn't surprise her. But it does.

SCIENCE QUESTION TIME.]


I didn't realize your species engaged in hematophagy.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya in ivory, pointing out a problem with a raised arm and trying not to be petulant. (Dissatisfaction)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-22 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not a particularly widespread practice. As a rainbow drinker I'm kind of a special case. Incidentally my phosphorescence is a related, likewise rare trait.
