graveyard part 4
 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. |

Stop it. You don't get to blame yourself for the decisions other people made. The mistake was coming here in the first place. The fault for everything that's happened since lies solely with Critter and no one else.

It just sucks, okay? I was going to do what you wanted but then I wanted to do that and save people, and it didn't work for either.

That's why you should always listen to me, though I'm glad you didn't in this case or we'd be buggered without Lithuania's help right now. But if we want to talk about things we got wrong, shall I write you a novel? [He begins ticking his fingers off.] Tried to help the hunters win - well, that's likely not happening. Tried to protect my citizens here - Clara and Peggy are still around but Luke and Hermione are dead, so that didn't work out either. Tried to save you - you can see how well that turned out. Tried to survive and bollocksed that one up from the get go. Really, the only thing I managed to do right was punch Lithuania out of his depression over Poland, which lead to him taking the clues so seriously that he got set on fire for it, which actually puts me more at fault for him not being here than anyone else. But I'm not beating myself over any of this because I realize that Critter is behind absolutely everything terrible going on and no one else. [Well no, that's a complete and total lie - he actually has a guilt complex large enough to cross the Atlantic Ocean at this point, he's just keeping it entirely internalized.]

[But he still looks frustrated.]
And don't include me in that, I didn't need you saving my butt. I just got a tough role, all the people with roles got shot.

You're really stupid.

I was giving you a compliment.

But you're also stupid because you keep going on and on about the people you wanted to save and it's funny because you'd make so much fun of me if I did that.

[waves a hand] Cowman, Fishman, Chipsman, whatever. It's all utter mind numbing trash anyway.

You think my accent makes me sound smart?

So lovely to hear your acknowledgment of the superiority of British English at last. Is that why so many of my actors have been showing up in your films lately? But please, do go on. Tell me how much more sophisticated the Queen's English makes me sound compared to your ridiculous drawl.
no subject
Nah, American's better because it doesn't sound all stuffy and elitist. But you sound smart, I'll give you that!
no subject
You obviously haven't heard me slip into Cockney or Mummerset yet if you think it's all elitist. But I'll take the compliment, nonetheless.
