graveyard part 2

[gamehead]

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.

Is what I said, yes?

[glowing_skye]

...I suppose you did.

What side are you pulling for, anyway?

[axeforasong]

[Mayu just shrugs]

Longer the game lasts, more clues we unlock. Less die, the better.

[glowing_skye]

"We" unlock?

[axeforasong]

Well, we're Ghosts, yes? I opened the Supply Store.

[glowing_skye]

We're able to do such a thing?!

[No wonder they're all hidden here like this!]

[axeforasong]

Yes, yes! Is the real game!

[glowing_skye]

...I see.

I knew there had to be more than just the killing aspects of it.

What about this "real" game do we already know?

[axeforasong]

Only that no-one's won it before. Has something to do with us here.

[she shrugs] Probably; if Hunters or Prey win, we all lose.

[glowing_skye]

.... wonderful.

[Dammit.]

So we're competing with the living, is what you're saying.

[axeforasong]

More like the living need to stop killing each other but is somewhat obvious, yes?

[glowing_skye]

The problem is convincing them to do that. If anything, after yesterday everyone seems more resolved to play, not less.

[axeforasong]

Hunters must kill once a night, Prey must kill once a day. Is better they make their own decisions than leave it to the Rabbit, yes?

Is the special roles that are speeding things up.

[glowing_skye]

Much better. Leaving it to the rabbit lead to me getting dunked in acid.

Stupid Critter. It stole the snacks I brought with me and everything. [SHE'S STILL MAD ABOUT THAT.]

[axeforasong]

It stole my axe and said it liked me too...

[look where that got her]
