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.

[ LEAPING UP FURIOUSLY ]

I knew it! If the hunters win, there's no way the rest of the prey are getting out of here alive!

[speakveryclearly]

Wow! And suddenly the moral compass swings firmly back into the prey's direction!

I bet it's the nations cheating!

[fortissimos]

Honestly, the whole thing about the hunters just having to outnumber us was way too good to be true. I'm surprised it took this long for people to figure it out.

[speakveryclearly]

It has to be the nations who are cheating -- suddenly America's idiocy makes a great deal more sense, though it still might not be him personally and only ever other nation alive misleading him.

[fortissimos]

If they don't stop cheating now, then they deserve whatever they get.

[speakveryclearly]

That's true. Critter's imposed upon them consequences.

[terryplz]

[He's not even gonna say anything on this.

Even if he hasn't said much of anything on anything else.]

[fortissimos]

Were you guys told about this?

[terryplz]

Critter said I'm not permitted to disclose anything specific related to the Hunter role. And for a good reason. Take what you will out of that.

[fortissimos]

[ ........ ]

Whatever. You're all a bunch of murderers, so I don't care what your reasons are. [ Letting her anger do the talking? Never. ]

[therealrobin]

Hey! Don't call him that!

[ Even if it's true, that is his father. ]

Besides, if the prey are that stupid, they deserve to lose!

[axeforasong]

Told you!

I wonder, does this mean Protector was working with them intentionally?

[fortissimos]

If it meant protecting his friends? Probably.

He's gonna have a lot of thinking to do now.

[axeforasong]

[a lot of thinking you say?]

Bodes well for his future.

[fortissimos]

[ ahaha... ha. ]

... We're totally screwed.

[axeforasong]

Ah, but it's not over yet, yes?

Admittedly, a lot hangs upon this trial...

[glowing_skye]

...does that mean that America's been working with England intentionally?!

[BRB THROWING SNACKOOS AT THE TV SCREEN IN HER ANGER.]

I preferred it when he was just being a moron!

[fortissimos]

[ joining in on this throwing party, popcorn away. ]

It looks that way. [ ... ] I hope they figure him out. I know what I'd do.

[speakveryclearly]

[THROWS AN ENTIRE EMPTY GLASS AT THE SCREEN]

[notyetlost]

...



[Well this is awkward.]

[terryplz]

[he feels you man.

he won't say it but.

he feels you.]

[notyetlost]

[SAY IT SO POLAND DOESN'T HAVE TO.]

[fortissimos]

I know what you said and all, but... I can't support anyone on their side now. It's just not possible.

[notyetlost]

[Poland opens his mouth to say say something back.]




[Only to clamp it shut a moment later.]

[fortissimos]

Hey, I'm not mad at you. That'd be pretty pointless. [ Being dead and all. ] But I knew this wasn't gonna be so easy. No matter what the hunters are playing for, it's not worth the life of my best friend.
