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.

And he can't hurt you or anything, so it's a win-win situation, right?

[ what do you mean they're talking about matters of life and death ]

I'm not worried about that!

Then smile about it! Geez, you should be happy that he's gonna be safer now.

Hmmph.

[Scavengers just don't understand. #huntersproblems]

Hey. Don't get all grumpy and stuff just because things aren't going your way.

I'm not grumpy! [He's grumpy.]

It's just this is usually around the time Polish Rule takes effect and stuff just starts going my way. I'm not used to this.

[Never play chess with Poland, Sayaka.]

[ Implying she's smart enough to play chess in the first place ]

You'd better get used to it, then. Who knows how long we're gonna be stuck like this?

Fine. They might vote to kill Tony.

But it doesn't look like they're gonna save crazy pervert girl and she's prey.

But if they don't protect Luke, England's gonna look really suspicious. He'll be able to name another hunter at the next trial.

[Poland's not sure how to reply to that, it's a good point.]

... England will think of something.

[He's made it this far anyways.]

[ She glances over at Akane. ]

He doesn't deserve to.

You thought the same thing about me before you knew me.

England's a jerk with ugly eyebrows, but he's not bad.

We're not bad.

He's the reason people are dying. [ She shakes her head. ] I can't forgive that. If he shows up here, I'm not gonna hold back.

Critter and this game are the reasons people are dying.

England's the same as me. He's just way better at this.

But he's lying to everyone. He's keeping our one protective role out of the game.

If America could save someone every night, it'd buy more time to figure this whole thing out.

It's not like America's completely in England's pocket. He's not one of England's colonies anymore, he's a super power for crying out loud, if he really wanted to save someone he'd do it.

He's being a selfish dick because he wants to be a selfish dick. You can't blame England for everything.

[And even if they've been helping Poland's side, America's choices have been pissing him off too.]

... Then I'll beat the crap out of him too, if he shows up.

[ compromise?! ]

No, because I don't want either of them here.

Period.

[N O. N A T I O N S.]

Well...he did look very sorry when he killed me. . .

But I wonder why he couldn't tell me why he was fulfilling his hunter role though?

Have any hunters here said anything about their purpose?

No.

And like. Seriously. Don't ask us because none of us are going to tell you.

It still matters to you to keep it a secret even though you're dead?

If I had my way I'd totally spill just so I stop getting asked this every time one of you guys shows up, but it's against the rules so.

I guess just deal with it or whatever.

At least humor me with one more answer.

Would there be dire consequences if you did tell us even though we can't really do anything in our situation?

Apparently they're not doing it by choice.

[ Which... she actually believes, at least for some of them, so she doesn't try and argue the point. ]

The deaths are still way too harsh, though. There's no excuse for that.

I wonder if Critter will give us answers soon. . .
