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.

....by cutting off hands?

[And she thought being dead would mean this was over.]

.....can you tell me the basic things about this place please? I'm sorry it's just a bit...confusing. But I want to help if I can.

Shall I give you the guided tour?

[No seriously, she's going to take Ukraine by the hand and give her the guided tour.]

[She leads Ukraine to the fridge and minibars first.]

This is the thermal hull as I call it, or the refrigerator as you Earth snobs insist upon for reasons that are still beyond me. There are almost certainly an abundance of Ukrainan [jukreɪnən not jukreiniən] delicacies stocked here now that you've arrived.

[Check out the enormous flat-screen TV!]

This is the television! We can see everything happening in Prayer's Pass - except behind locked doors. It's essentially an upgraded version of the radio system. [She shows her the remote.] It's very easy to go backwards or pause things or skip around... they really mean it about us watching over them.

[She gestures at a table besides the television.]

At night we can't watch anything, though, unless Critter is feeling generous... instead every one of us picks something to give up in exchange for a clue being sent down to the living. A list shows up here, like when we vote.

[She points out each maimed ghost.]

You have Mr. Sunderland there - he gave the picture of his dead wifesprit - wife - that's in the jail. Mayu's beloved bunny familiar is in the supply shop. Poland's hand... well, they couldn't actually put that in the church. The same goes for Sayaka's arm; just her glove accompanied the video. And just last night England went blind.

We haven't found out what he unlocked yet, just that it's audio of some kind. [She lets go of Ukraine's hand and flashes a winning, fangsy smile.] Are you ready? Do you want to turn on the TV and see what the new clue is? Or do you still have more questions.

[Give her a moment, it's a lot to take in.]

.....No. That's it for now.

Thank you.
