graveyard part 3

[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.

I'm like pretty sure Liet figured out something from the new clue.

Seeing as how we're totally losing, it's a good thing you guys failed at killing him because he's like the last shot at winning we have left.

[unadorned]

Oh, he was never an issue. It's Spain I gave the signal to be killed today. [Someone is going to be gaining so much weight in the afterlife. How does metabolism work in the graveyard?]

[notyetlost]

[Stealing some of your popcorn, don't mind him.] Wow, you guys really are perfect for each other. [Poland's not sure himself, but he hasn't noticed any change in his weight from a week of almost nothing but paluszki and wodka yet.]

Too bad you guys didn't go after him that night, Spain was the new watcher.

[unadorned]

No, we're not. [She doesn't even notice, but her mind is not on the popcorn.] I had a strong hunch, but I hesitated. Serves me right for having second thoughts.

[notyetlost]

Uh huh. [You guys so are.]

Yeah. [Poland sighs, but he doesn't sound too upset. He's had enough time to accept his mistakes by now.] I totally know the feeling.

[unadorned]

Nothing to make it sink in like listening to the smug brigade over there [She jabs her thumb in the direction of the newly arrived preys] yak about how they'd have done a better job.

[notyetlost]

Pssh. [Poland rolls his eyes.] They probably would have though. Which is why we didn't end up with a single one of them on our side.

We totally should have killed the mouthy ones first.

[Granted Poland had tried to steer vote in that direction the night of James' death, but everyone's mind had been basically made up by then. What's done is done.]

[unadorned]

Doesn't make it easier to know.
