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.

What, really? I was wondering why the picture was missing a hand. That sounds awful.

[speakveryclearly]

It's not as bad as Sayaka's arm.

[hintcoinplz]

Is sacrificing body parts a normal thing to do?

[speakveryclearly]

It's the option for those who don't have physical possessions to offer and don't want to give up intangible ones, like feelings or memories.

[therealrobin]

Whatever. It's not my fault he killed you. And it's not like you had any proof, anyway.

[speakveryclearly]

I WAS THERE.

[therealrobin]

Witnesses lie!

[speakveryclearly]

Interrogators can fail. But whatever.

[therealrobin]

[ And suddenly, Damian looks just as dangerous as he does tiny. ]

Say it again.

[speakveryclearly]

Interrogations can fail. Why else would Ema Skye be here?

[therealrobin]

They didn't interrogate her properly! There wasn't any evidence, just supposition! Don't you know anything?

[notyetlost]

[Poland chimes in lazily from the couch.] Cut me up once shame on you, cut me up twice... eh. Whatever.

[Thanks Sayaka.]

[fortissimos]

[ CHOKING ON HER DRINK ]

At least you're not the only one now.

[notyetlost]

[Poland moves in closer, careful not to lean on where Critter severed Sayaka's arm from her shoulder, but enough to give the illusion that her arm had not disappeared at all.]

We totally hadn't even noticed, you hide it so well!

[He accents that with some overly flamboyant arm flapping.]

[fortissimos]

Uh... [ actually lost for words WHAT DOES SHE EVEN SAY TO THAT ] Thanks, I think. I wasn't really trying to hide it.

[ really now ]

[notyetlost]

[Her 'replacement' arm is gently.... gently --don't punch him with your other arm he's just teasing!!-- coming to scratch her temple with its index finger, emulating her confusion through the gesture for her.]

[fortissimos]

[ JERKING UPRIGHT in surprise until she realizes what's happening. Replacement arm why. ]

H, hey! What the heck was that for?

[notyetlost]

[Angry surprised arm flailing!]

I don't know it's your arm!

[fortissimos]

[ This is the single weirdest thing that's ever happened to her, short of waking up here in the first place.

but she's laughing. somehow. ]

Quit it! [ bringing up her remaining arm to try and grab hold of his this means war ]

[notyetlost]

[He tries to evade but, he's laughing too at this point.]

I'm not doing it!

[fortissimos]

You totally are!

[ she's really uncoordinated so they're both going to topple off the couch at this rate

at least being dead is proving to be entertaining ]

[notyetlost]

Ahaha-- whoa! [And topple off the couch they do.]

[therealrobin]

[ Damian is just going to watch and judge quietly. ]

[notyetlost]

[Is somebody jealous?]

Hmmm? W-what? [He notices the judging.] Is there like Sayaka beverage on me or something?

[fortissimos]

[ hitting the floor with the least graceful thud in the entire world, that's going to leave a mark.

two seconds later: ]

Ahhh, geez! You made my drink spill everywhere! [ yes this is the most important thing here ]
