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.

[sighs and rubs his temples] He couldn't have figured it out earlier? If what our new arrivals are saying is true, we've lost this game anyways. All he's done is maybe buy us a few more days to unlock clues that we don't even know will lead anywhere.

He could have gotten out of here alive...and he gave it up. I'm not sure if I'm grateful to him or angry that he threw away a chance none of us have.

That would imply Critter is even telling the truth about the remaining Prey escaping. ...Frankly, I have high doubts for the obvious reasons.

[tsunneverset]

I have my doubts as well, but if we start questioning that, then we have to start questioning whether it's told us the truth. About what happens if we win. And if it lied about that as well, then...[Then everything they've done up until now has been worse than useless.]

[terryplz]

Don't misunderstand. I realize that much. But, Critter has been heavily favoring the prey to win and putting as many obstacles in our way so we could lose. It got angry with Lithuania for good reason - he got close enough to the truth that he felt the need to shoot Sanae Hanekoma to help us. Either that or to make sure the game would be prolonged.

[tsunneverset]

It did seem a lot more furious with Lithuania than with America for cheating. It's likely disappointed that the game may not be ending so soon after all. I would say that I hope the other prey catch on and follow his example, but after what happened to him...I'd rather not win via forfeit, not if we have no idea what happens to them afterwards.
