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.

As much as I'd like to talk things over to him with my lips or my legs, no. Not every ghost's presence here is equally strong. Players eliminated by Critter may not show their faces as shades at all.

...Don't let Poland hear you taking him to task for that. He's very sensitive about the whole thing and putting the hunters' victory at risk for whatever secret reason it is that you have. You'll understand his psyche on the deep level that Sayaka and Mayu and I do when you've been dead for more than a day. It's just kind of something that happens here.

...Ada won't be happy about that.

[he sighs and leans back] I've known Poland for quite more than a few days. I assume he's angry that I seemingly gave up, but I'd never jeopardize our victory. I just knew going into the trial that they had enough information to pin me, but I couldn't say how I knew that without revealing more than one hunter's identity.

And I had to be executed today. Ciel thinks Ada might be prey, so Kirigiri doesn't have to waste a gun on her tonight.

[Kanaya brings her hands up to her face.] I found out she was who Ukyo converted. I... I don't know, after I died and she indicted Bruce I thought she was our primary hope of victory but... She's obviously playing along with you now. And if you all play along I don't know... who I should want to win...

[tsunneverset]

...I've been informed that I can't say any more on this subject.

But I can say none of us are being brainwashed. We all made the choice to play, Kirigiri included.

Oh......

[tsunneverset]

Well, there's no point in worrying about it now. It's out of our hands. We'll just have to see what happens while we focus on whatever this real game is supposed to be.

If was brainwashed, how would you know?
