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.

Maybe that America guy won't be totally useless for once. I mean, he should want to protect someone he knows.

[ Since he apparently doesn't give a fuck about anyone else... but his role means she has to hope he survives, too. It takes a lot of effort to keep a straight face at the idea of America not being useless though. ]

... [Yeah Poland's pretty much given up on America at this point. He believes that America has the potential to do something right, but that's as far as he'll let himself believe in him now.

He just gets the feeling that Lithuania will be joining him somehow.]

Madoka seemed kinda interested in the clues though, at least since you unlocked the video tape.

Maybe she can figure it out.

[fortissimos]

I figured she would. Critter left part of my magical girl outfit with it, so she's gotta know that it's from me.

[ And she's glad it was obvious, as opposed to something obscure like a painting, or poetry. Even if the other countries had figured those ones out, her sleeve was a much clearer hint than anything else so far. ]

I just hope she doesn't draw attention to herself. Whatever happens, I don't want her ending up here.

[notyetlost]

She seems pretty inconspicuous to me, I think she can do it without being as obvious as Liet is about it.

[Poland knows better than to doubt girls.]

[fortissimos]

Hey, someone's gotta take charge when it comes to this stuff. It's a good thing he's willing to step up.

[notyetlost]

Normally I'd say yeah. But people who step up don't seem to live very long in this game.

Look at what happened to Ema. Or Luke. Or even England I guess.

[fortissimos]

Maybe he'll get lucky. [ AMERICA.... ]

[notyetlost]

[Sigh... Lithuania. Relying on Lithuania's own abilities was one thing, all the odds suddenly being stacked against him like this was something else entirely.]

Maybe baltic luck. [But it's really not very lucky at all.]
