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.

Yeah, you're right. We don't know which will help the most, so... I guess I'll just pick randomly.

[ losing an arm for a random choice: a life ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think the video and audio recordings are better or worse than the scraps?
fortissimos: (i can feel it rising)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly... I think they'd be better, but that thing could just be messing with us. Knowing my luck, whatever I pick is gonna be in one of the locked buildings anyway.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya holds sleeping Karkat's head in her lap, petting his hair, and looks down at him somberly. (Dedication)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
If that happens I'll unlock the corresponding building.

[And then this happens as England refuses--] Oh, Madoka... that lying bastard.
fortissimos: (if you don't open your mind)

[ LEAPING UP AGAIN IN ANGER it feels like she's barely even had time to sit back down tbh ]

If he ever shows up here... [ fists clenched she is mad ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya sparkling white, covered in human blood, which she licks off her face. Zahhak shades for extra hardcore. ((BP)) (Ready)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I wonder how many people he sent here. Or kept from being protected.

[SHE AGREES]
fortissimos: (leave me breathless through this)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Too many.

[ Her hand twitches. ]

Y'know, ghosts might not be able to die, but I bet I could beat him up pretty badly. I wouldn't even need two arms to do it. [ She doesn't even need to be brainwashed for this man SHE CAN'T STAND THIS SHIT ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with a kissable black smile and tired, Kill Me Now eyes. (Volatile)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
You certainly wouldn't.

I'd pluck out some of my teeth if you wanted something sharp to wield. They'll grow back.
fortissimos: (and now you're back in your skin)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Deal.









[ she's not actually joking ]
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)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[


Yeah the degree to which they're both serious is pretty disturbing.




You mean, your role wouldn't be able cure her?
]


She might not be buying his act. I hope it falls apart at the seams with this whole Fukawaiasco.
fortissimos: (don't beg for justice)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
... Madoka's way too trusting, but she's not stupid.

I just hope it's enough.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking over at something, not entirely satisfied, flickering. (Calm)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
If they don't save Touko tonight... they have to figure out something is wrong with the doctor claim. Don't they?
fortissimos: (tear this place apart)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
... He's talking about protecting Luke, though. That's gonna buy him some time.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with a really faint glow and looking down (Alone)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... oh, of course, obviously he can say that and then the hunters just kill somebody who isn't Luke.
fortissimos: (the nights are silent)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ JUST

A LOUD SIGH because fuck you, England. Why are things working out for you. ]
speakveryclearly: Kanaya drawn in sketchy black outline on jade background, suppressing a protest. ((>BT)) (Reluctant)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
If they poison him, I swear.
fortissimos: (threaten yourself)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
He'd have to cure it. It'd be way too suspicious not to.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya in ivory, pointing out a problem with a raised arm and trying not to be petulant. (Dissatisfaction)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
But at this point the town's so used to poison victims not being cured it almost seems like he could get away with it...
fortissimos: (and now you're back in your skin)

[personal profile] fortissimos 2013-05-19 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
... Luke's just a kid. He's not suspicious, and he's not crazy or threatening to hurt anyone.

I don't think he could get away with that.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking down with shades on and a thin, grim glow. (Displeased)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-05-19 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...I hope not.
