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.

[ Damian crosses his arms, tempted to make a doubtlessly witty response. But on second thought, he holds his tongue. ]

Fine. Nobody wants to be around Poland anyway.

[ He starts walking away, his expression oddly peaceful. ]

Father, did you know Moronade comes from Poland?

[ And then he's gone. IN YOUR FACE, POLAND. LOOK WHO GOT THE LAST WORD THERE. ]

That is the lamest comeback I have ever heard.

[And guess who's not moving into his designated corner.

This guy.]

I SAID ENOUGH!

[CHILDREN. Also shooting Poland a glare and speaks in Polish.]

Poland, you too. I am at my limits.

[Oh please Bruce.]

Hey, you can't tell me what to do, I'm the Republic of Poland!

Look into my eyes and ask yourself if you think I care.

[spoiler alert he doesn't give a fuck.]

[Poland also does not give a fuck.]

Ditto.

[GLARES EVEN HARDER.]

If you don't go, I'll make you go. Last chance.

Make.

Me.

I want to be around Poland.

[has just... casually been observing the entire thing]

[ Damian glares at her. If she weren't such a girl, he'd tell her what an idiot she's being. ]

HA HA. HA.

[Thanks Mayu.]

[NO PROBS I got your flower]

Father won't be around to protect you forever, Poland.

Yeah, um. I totally don't need his protection.

I just didn't want to hurt you if it could totally be avoided.

Really?

[SMIRK]

Maybe we should do a proper rematch sometime, then. And maybe you won't go running to Father like a baby who's lost its pacifier.

Bring it!

[YET ANOTHER REASON BEING A GIRL IS AWESOME.

...But yes, Mayu is just sipping milk quietly out of a glass, entirely unaffected. Doo de doo.]

[ Really, Mayu? Really? ]

And to think I felt bad for you when you were killed.

I didn't know you were capable of sympathizing with murder victims.

Not ones like Poland.

[ But Mayu and Luke and just kids, and Ema had tried to help people. What had Poland ever done other than dodge some blows? Tt. Not like he'd done a very good job of that while he'd been alive, either. WElCOME TO DEATH, POLAND. WHERE YOU STILL SUCK. ]

All he even did was vote for prey.

[Secretly she's just resentful towards him for - for - how he just treats her like dirt simply because it was his father who killed her.]

* NO ONE LIKES POLAND. FREAKING TYPOS.

You did? Thanks!

[ But-

But.

Freaking girls, man. ]

Tt.

[ And now Damian is just going to go sit in a corner until he thinks Bruce isn't paying attention anymore. ]

Don't encourage them.

[He's trying to keep the peace like a good Batdad should, you're not helping Mayu.]

Sorry.

[look she doesn't get what's going on okay...]
