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.

I lament it every day, to be quite frank. Critter clearly stuffed us into the least fitting roles to add to our suffering.

[A TRUE TRAGEDY... but it's okay he's fine with the cake life too.] I'm a chiropteran - hematophagous immortal. Vampire, if you will, but with none of the stupid superstitious drawbacks.

( unfortunately she's stuck on those last few words of yours, eyes sparkling like no girl's really should after someone says they're like a vampire but - well this is Ada )

Truly?!

[it's like the twilight fanbase in a victorian dress...]

Yes, truly, but I do hate the term. Vampire; it's quite ugly and comes with too many misconceptions to count.

( sdkgjhsdkajfhd )

Chiropteran, then.

( she is completely fine with using that term - it sounds infinitely cooler anyway )

Ah... but is it really okay if I ask you about it?

( because she wants to... obviously, seeing as she's inching closer instead of the opposite. still, she doesn't want to seem insensitive she's just... interested ksdjgh )

[YOU WEIRD, WEIRD GIRL. he shouldn't really be surprised if she's the one responsible for the thing in the gazebo but still...

she's earned herself points for not being a dummy about the terms though. you would not believe how many people still refer to him as a vampire even after he goes on his NOT A VAMPIRE rants.]

You can ask any question you'd like if you wish, but I can't guarantee you an answer to everything. [he's got to keep up some air of mystery okay.]
