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.

I want to be around Poland.

[has just... casually been observing the entire thing]

[therealrobin]

[ Damian glares at her. If she weren't such a girl, he'd tell her what an idiot she's being. ]

[notyetlost]

HA HA. HA.

[Thanks Mayu.]

[axeforasong]

[NO PROBS I got your flower]

[therealrobin]

Father won't be around to protect you forever, Poland.

[notyetlost]

Yeah, um. I totally don't need his protection.

I just didn't want to hurt you if it could totally be avoided.

[therealrobin]

Really?

[SMIRK]

Maybe we should do a proper rematch sometime, then. And maybe you won't go running to Father like a baby who's lost its pacifier.

[notyetlost]

Bring it!

[therealrobin]

Fine. One hour. We'll have Ema or Mayu or Kanaya distract Father, and then I'm going to show you how much you can hurt even after you've died.

[notyetlost]

Pssh. Are you for real.

How do you plan on distracting him when we're all in the same room?

[therealrobin]

I suppose Poland is too weak a country to know how this sort of thing works. They distract him, people get around us to watch us fight and block us from his view, and by the time he notices, we're already done.

Or we can fight in the open and he can throw you into a wall again. Your choice.

[notyetlost]

You must think your dad is really really really dumb if he's going to fall for that.

[And screw you, Bruce just got lucky.]

[axeforasong]

[YET ANOTHER REASON BEING A GIRL IS AWESOME.

...But yes, Mayu is just sipping milk quietly out of a glass, entirely unaffected. Doo de doo.]

[therealrobin]

[ Really, Mayu? Really? ]

And to think I felt bad for you when you were killed.

[speakveryclearly]

I didn't know you were capable of sympathizing with murder victims.

[therealrobin]

Not ones like Poland.

[ But Mayu and Luke and just kids, and Ema had tried to help people. What had Poland ever done other than dodge some blows? Tt. Not like he'd done a very good job of that while he'd been alive, either. WElCOME TO DEATH, POLAND. WHERE YOU STILL SUCK. ]

[speakveryclearly]

All he even did was vote for prey.

[Secretly she's just resentful towards him for - for - how he just treats her like dirt simply because it was his father who killed her.]

* NO ONE LIKES POLAND. FREAKING TYPOS.

[therealrobin]

So I'm supposed to be proud of him for trying to kill innocent people on top of the ones he would have killed as a hunter?

[speakveryclearly]

It's the same thing as his attempts to kill as a hunter. The wolves couldn't win if we lynched effectively every day - they can't let themselves be voted out.

[therealrobin]

That doesn't mean I have to like him for knowingly killing innocent people.

I don't have to like Father, either.

[speakveryclearly]

But Damian. How do you feel about the people who got themselves sent here for actually investigating the hunting going on?

[Hint.

Hint.]

[axeforasong]

You did? Thanks!

[therealrobin]

[ But-

But.

Freaking girls, man. ]

Tt.

[ And now Damian is just going to go sit in a corner until he thinks Bruce isn't paying attention anymore. ]

[terryplz]

Don't encourage them.

[He's trying to keep the peace like a good Batdad should, you're not helping Mayu.]

[axeforasong]

Sorry.

[look she doesn't get what's going on okay...]
