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.

[What.

Okay, no one ever said America was quick on the uptake.]

Your hand!

[notyetlost]

What about it? [Aside from occasionally forgetting it's missing, Poland's gotten used to it not being there over the course of a week.]

[asapplepie]

It's gone! How'd that happen?

[He's now checking himself - the bullet hole in his jacket isn't there, his body is intact.]

[notyetlost]

I let Critter cut it off so I could open the church.

I thought if Lithuania saw something from me he'd know I was trying to help you people and you guys could find the clues and win the real game.

I mean yeah I'm still a "wolf," but I figured if there was a way that didn't involve anyone else dying it'd be the best one to root for.

[asapplepie]

What's the real game?

[notyetlost]

That's what you guys were supposed to figure out. If we knew the answer to that there wouldn't be a game in the first place.

[Yeah it's an entirely unhelpful answer. It's the same one Poland got from Critter when he asked the exact same question.]

[asapplepie]

That's stupid. Critter could be lying, the clues could be pointless.

[notyetlost]

Critter could be lying to any of us.

That didn't stop you from playing either.

[asapplepie]

I didn't play until like, two nights ago. And that was only because I figured if we won, then we'd get to have, like, a boss battle against Critter and I'd kick his ass and then save everybody who died.

[notyetlost]

Yeah okay, that's stupid.

[And this is coming from someone who plays videogames probably as much as you do, America.]

[asapplepie]

No, it's not. If we win there will definitely be a boss battle, and now I'm going to miss it.

Captain America will win so it's okay but I wanted to be there.
