graveyard part 2
 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. |

[There's a pause.]
If that Sharon woman shows up, I'm punching her.
[There are some things you need more then a "oh we have to" to get over. Being horrifically murdered is one of them.]
Still, at least she seems miserable.
no subject
He's not really sure how she died. Like Lithuania he doesn't want to watch her video, and he doesn't want to pry either. He can only assume it must have been pretty horrible.]
Ah... at least Liet seems better today. I mean. Despite. You know. [Ukraine dying.]
no subject
Yes, I'm glad. He seems to have snapped out of his daze.
no subject
Like I knew he was sad and stuff, but. I didn't expect him to be so out of it for so long.
[Poland remembers a conversation between Ukraine and Lithuania from yesterday. But he didn't really understand it as well as he feels he should have.]
...You seemed to know though.
no subject
He ....tended to zone out so he didn't have to be there anymore.
[Ukraine meanwhile had thrown herself into any work she could find. If you had to focus on cleaning a floor then you didn't have to think of anything else....or at least that had been the attempt.]
no subject
Like to cope?
no subject
Yes ....there were...horrible times and I think he just wanted to stop ...being there. He couldn't do anything to help his people and every so often he'd just ....go into moods like that. ....
[She pauses to try and get her thoughts together.]
It was like when brother was under all of that pressure from his people and eventually he just ....well he broke a little. Lithuania couldn't help his people so ...sometimes he just shut off himself.
...we all found ways like that to cope with things...
no subject
But. Me dying couldn't have been as bad as something like Liet's people suffering.
no subject
I think it was just too much at once and he started to fall back into his old habits.
no subject
...He wonders if Ukraine knows about them or if Lithuania kept that a secret from her as well. But he won't ask that.]
...you think he'll be able to keep going, with both of us gone?
no subject
He's strong.
I know he will. Now he's not zoning out anymore.
no subject
Yeah that's what I've been saying, I just wanted to hear someone else say it too.
