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.

Maybe not... [Kanaya doesn't even connect the side glance to Sayaka's guilt immediately; in her own mind Sayaka was once basically the only reason the town has even a fighting chance, beloved gun user aside.]

After all... we have the hounds, Luke, and America known to us. There are four other roles known to the prey yet they remain a mystery.

... Right. There's still a chance.

[ Not much of one, sure. But it's something. ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya wearing Zahhak glasses and giant waist bow, posing for the camera with hands on her hips and a smirk on her face. (Model)

On the one hand these mysterious individuals have thus far not contributed - though possibly one of them is wielding the gun that killed Hanekoma and Robin, which is something. On the other... they are still alive. Still able to help.
fortissimos: (threaten yourself)

... Honestly, I just hope whoever has the gun has some way of knowing who the hunters are. They're our best shot right now.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya at her computer, looking down in disappointment and worry; interestingly, jade lipstick and eye makeup. (Abandoned)

HAHAHA BEST SHOT HA...

[But Kan does not get the great unintentional pun] I think... that their shots being spaced so far apart must be a penalty for their demonstrated increased precision.

...if this person is eliminated from the game we're absolutely done for given our abysmal performance in the trials.
fortissimos: (don't beg for justice)

i'm hilarious

Maybe they're just holding back until they're sure. I mean, if they don't have to kill every night, it's better not to risk making a mistake.

[ Unlike a certain blue loser. She can't argue with the second point, though. ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking down with shades on and a thin, grim glow. (Displeased)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-18 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That's also quite likely...

Maybe it is to our advantage that they're unknown.
fortissimos: (the truth is hard to carry)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-18 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It definitely is. We've seen what happens when people like that get found out.

[ HAHA... ha... at least she can make fun of herself for it. ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with raised eyebrows, nervously mouthing off to dispel something she would like to consider a really bad joke. (Caught Off Guard)

H-ha...

You're right. Even an investigation into their identity will probably only be detrimental. Let's just hope the hunters don't disable them and they keep working.
