graveyard part 4

[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.

Oh well I'll be sure to watch - I can still see at least half of how excellent it is~

( because joking about losing an eye is the best thing she can do right now to disguise general disappointment and try to cheer up the angry bat. because no matter how much this all sucks she's still happy to see him )

Miss Ciel even let me help her bake. She really wanted to go all out. ( because one can never have enough sweets apparently )

[encored]

[oh... baked things make everything better!! but he's still looking very sour because hey as far as he concerned, cake was a given.]

Well she better have. She owes me a great deal for dying before I had the chance to and a few cakes won't be enough to even things out. [it's a good start though... but speaking of her eye, his curiosity gets the better of him.]

Have you been getting into scraps in the afterlife? [ada losing her eye in a brawl yes that sounds reasonable.]

[purethingsonly]

No I gave it up silly.

( she shakes her head at him because REALLY??? WHO JUST LOSES AN EYE IN A BRAWL??? )

Remember the clues? That was us ghosts. A lot of us have given up different things to pass clues on to the living.

( but back to baked things because that's the better topic here )

Will you really be able to eat them all before the end?

[encored]

Ah, I wasn't aware you had to give something up for it. ...Well, it's all very noble of you, but I doubt it will save anyone now. [OPTIMISM and not caring about people losing eyes apparently, good job charles. he glances over at some of the cakes that are out on the counter at that though, shaking his head without much pause.]

I hope the end doesn't take that long to come, but I'll try to put a dent in it, at least.

[purethingsonly]

Well the worst that can happen is we're all dead and I get to haunt you for the rest of your days~

( crazy girl can say that with a smile on her face )

Oh but that thing you asked me to ask around about - since we're dead I suppose it doesn't hurt to tell you the truth. The crazy arsonist? That was me. I'm the one who made the magic circle. A pretty disappointing turn out huh?

( to be fair, admitting this isn't all that easy because she doesn't tell people about her hobby. but it seems more foolish to fear being judged when you're already dead )

[encored]

Ugh, don't even joke about something like that. I've spent long enough being alive, I don't want to spend centuries more being dead. [ESPECIALLY NOT IF IT'S CRAMMED IN A CABIN WITH YOU LOSERS

as for her little confession though, he looks surprised for a second but then the disappointment returns in full swing.] Damn it all! Ciel, you were right— the work of a wolf. We were going to return your little message in the morning but things came up. [like ciel dying SIDE-EYEING HER] Ugh, Spain was watching Prussia's body so closely, too.

[purethingsonly]

Well it's going to be one or the other - dead or alive. ( his reaction to such a thing is pretty funny ) But I doubt we'll be allowed to stay together when it's over. We'll probably become like Lithuania... lost forever.

( ....WOW THAT TURNED DEPRESSING FAST )

Yes, she did ask me about it, but I was going to die so I did something out of the normal... hoping they'd find a way to use it. But really I think I just wanted to leave some kind of mark before I died.

Critter allowed it because he said 'it sounds like fun'.

[encored]

Good. It's about time I got a rest instead of being jerked back and forward between stupid cryptic towns filled with imbeciles. [his true feelings on the matter... CHIN UP it's not so depressing!!

he waves a hand.] What was that all about, anyway? The circle, the words, what was the meaning behind them?

[purethingsonly]

( her face turns serious about that and she considers it )

It could have been interpreted many ways - which is why I didn't reveal it was mine. But if you ignored it's possible uses inside the game, the message was meant for Critter.

That I want to see him condemned for what he's done to everyone here. Too bad it'll never come to be.

[encored]

[ah... he waves his hand at that and huffs a little sigh.]

Critter likely doesn't care one way or another. I've told you lot before and I'll say it again — it's pointless for humans to try and get an inhuman thing to play by their rules and follow their understandings and train of thought.

[purethingsonly]

I know. That's why that was more for myself than anything. But if my team had been thinking they could have used it to incriminate the more obvious choices if they were to believe that a wolf did it. So it didn't hurt to try.

[expiatrice]

[A chuckle from over here.]

You did give me some inspiration. It's a pity Spain was too sentimental to allow it, and I myself died before I could make use of it.

[if you're getting an ominous air

IT'S JUST YOUR IMAGINATION...]

[purethingsonly]

It's a shame I didn't get to see it.

( ...oops no now she's just curious

because she really would have loved to have seen it )

[expiatrice]

Do you want to hear about it? It was going to be used against the wolves though, since I figured someone in the pack might've left it. Though if you didn't tell anyone else about it, not even fellow wolves, I suppose the meaning would've been lost...

[ada no

d...on't encourage it.........]

[purethingsonly]

I'd like to! No, I didn't tell anyone, though they knew I was up to something, so someone might have figured it out. I had to ask for permission after all.

( sorry she...


wants to know askdjfha )

ONE OFF

[pasodoble]

( Ciel you are literally the worst nun Spain has ever met and he's known a lot of nuns ok. )

[expiatrice]

[Excuse you she is one of the seven members of a ~sicrit organization~ that's the equivalent of a CIA/FBI SWAT team inside the Vatican back home (which runs a very impressive church militia). These elite agents can ignore every law ever as long as they're killing shit in god's name and get their job done.

she has shiny credentials and she does her job well, okay. YOU CRAY CRAY COUNTRIES HAVE NO ROOM TO JUDGE!!!1!]

[expiatrice]

[SHE TOLD YOU SO??

no just smiling sweetly here don't mind her...]

[notyetlost]

Seriously? That's the worst thing you can think of?

[Here is your belatedly angry Poland Ada. You can shoot America as many times as you like, but there is no way that THAT is the worst thing possible. Especially not after what happened to Lithuania..]

[purethingsonly]

...no, it's not.

( sorry Poland, she has no regrets because she voted to save Lithuania okay )

I-I know it's too kind to hope it will end that way.

( but okay she'll drop the optimistic act )

Critter will probably find some way to make us suffer for as long as possible...

[notyetlost]

[It's hypocritical for him to be so angry with her. Poland didn't even vote for Lithuania in the end.

But Ada's cheerfulness--fake or not, and all these reunions are making Poland bitter. Everyone should be miserable. Especially Ada.]

You're never going to see Elliot again either.

[purethingsonly]

.........

( she's deadly silent for a long time. and in her one remaining eye it's as if something is dying

and then... it snaps )

How can you... how dare you!

( and she lunges at him like a cat - claws extended as she scratches at his face... his arms... anything her flailing limbs can reach )

I actually wanted to save him!! I'm not the one who gave up on Lithuania!! And you--

( The outburst only lasts a short while before she breaks down into broken sobs, her movements slowing with each sob until she just curls up on the floor and cries )

[notyetlost]

[Poland doesn't care. She can beat him up as much as she wants it's not going to change anything. Elliot's gone and Lithuania's gone.




Her tears do nothing to comfort him, but he pretends they do.]

It's totally not even fair that Lithuania and Elliot get the same punishment. At least Lithuania played. I regret not voting for him when I had the chance.

[pasodoble]

Poland!

( WOW, POLAND, WOW. )

[notyetlost]

Why should everyone else get to be happy when I don't?

Go sob over Charles some more.
