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.

...I know.

( her voice comes out smaller and quiter than she intended but then again... she's facing England, who has more right than most to hate her and right now she's sure a lot of people probably do in a lot of different ways )

I did have a choice no matter what and I...

( ....he was the first person she really killed )

I'm sorry... I knew how you felt and I still...

( she's still pretty wound up from her own death not to mention what she did at the trial... )

We all had a choice, and we made it. We chose to win no matter what the cost. I would have done the same had it been you and Elliot.

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.] That doesn't mean I'm happy about it, even if it's one step closer to victory. It wasn't worth it. But...it was my fault you were put into that position in the first place. [He lets out a bitter laugh.] I'm losing my touch. It used to be that I could make all of continental Europe dance along to my plans. Now...I can't even save a single person.

( deep down she wants to say 'but you did help kill Elliot', but she just winces and says nothing about that )

I was partially to blame as well, it wasn't your plan it was me... I wasn't really any help at all at least... not in that lie. (this she sighs ) How sad it is to have your guilt known so long but be spared because you're the least threatening?

( the word useless does somewhat come to mind here )

[to be fair, he had no idea he'd been Ada's friend at that point...not that it would have changed anything]

Well, you did manage to convince Ciel of your innocence for a while, so congratulations there. [his lips quirk up in something that could possibly be a wry smirk if he wasn't still upset] And as for not being threatening...I doubt anyone will ever be making that mistake again.

I... yes. She's... ( Ciel is certainly.... special )

( but at the last bit she flinches and curls up tighter )

Right...

( she just wants to curl up here and cry but she's not alone so she just settles for whimpering)

I never thought I could....

I never thought you could either. [A compliment or a condemnation? Even he doesn't know...though judging by who exactly she killed, it's not likely to be the former.]

Well I am the worst after all.

( you won't find her defending herself. she's not ready to forgive herself regardless of the fact that... she did tbe right thing for her team. she's just a hollow shell of the happy girl who first came here... and even compardd to the one who tried to force herself to smile and think positive until the end )

No, Critter's the worst. As for who comes second...[he lifts up his shotglass in an ironic toast] I think you'll find a lot of competition there, my lady. [Even if they do manage to win, he doesn't think any of the hunters will be making it out without a decent helping of self-loathing...well, maybe except Poland.]

( ........now that she's calmed a little, something seems to connect and his first words suddenly make her worry of something. curiously, she slips off her shoes and tip-toes over him as silently as possible to see if he'll notice

it makes no sense to her, so she tests it, assuming he's just messing with her

getting close, only a foot in front of him-- ) Boo!

[YELPS AND SPILLS HIS DRINK ALL OVER HIMSELF]

( SCREAMS RIGHT BACK because why did that work )

A-are you alright?! I... I didn't mean to... I thought you were just...

( humoring her or something.... y e a h... )
