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 knew my time was up when Ada used her gun. Naturally they'd suspect me. But... that's okay. We did enough, and it was significant enough, to buy us enough time.

...

We're on the same team, you know. I am sorry your friend is lost... But we just have to hope for the best...

You weren't supposed to buy time, you were supposed to win.






And if you were really sorry about him, you'd listen to me when I tell you he didn't commit suicide. You think you're so smart about everything, but you totally don't know anything at all when it comes to Lithuania.

[construe]

Then I'm listening. If you know him so well, what did he do?

[notyetlost]

It's impossible to know a hundred percent or anything, because like I haven't been around him in a week or whatever but like. It seriously could never be suicide.

Liet's always been like super pessimistic and he worries about everything. Like to the point that he gives himself ulcers and all kinds of stomach problems. And like. As a nation that's kind of a big deal because it's not like we have weak bodies or anything normally. I mean sometimes I get sick if I see something really gross but that's it. We're not like humans

So like when he saw that clue in the church, he was like. 'Wow so the wolves aren't the bad ones?' So that probably led him to thinking, 'Oh my god maybe the prey winning is a bad idea.' And then 'Critter wants the prey to win.'

And it's not hard to see all the weird stuff that happened start to make sense once you realize that.

'Wow what was with that weird drawing that first day? The one that led the protector to shooting Hanekoma, a super useful hunter? And then Hanekoma came back as a prey? And he gets to be a blood hound? Also Ukraine died? But she gets to pick a new lookout in her place?'

'We were having so much trouble with this at the beginning, why is everything so easy now?'

They basically had almost all the remaining wolves lined up for execution by the time Lithuania realized. And if the wolves all died and the prey won what would happen to him then? He had like a whole country to get back to. He couldn't just keep playing into his own death and he didn't know what we got if we won.

That just leaves the clues, but we weren't getting them out fast enough with just one a night. He knew we were out of time.

So he shot Hanekoma to try to prevent what few wolves they hadn't managed to totally confirm and give everyone more time. Yeah it's cheating but like. America and England were cheating. I'm sure Liet figured he might die, you know like how I died or how you died. And like how Mayu and Hanekoma came back, he'd be able to come back too once everyone solved the clues with the time he gave them.

The mystery clue option seemed way better to him than what he suspected happened when the prey won. He didn't want to die working towards the game ending that Critter wanted.

That's not suicide. That's putting your faith in someone, or a lot of someones in this case. He was relying on us to save him too.

[ She could argue that it's a lot like suicidal behavior but ... ]

I see. He gave up a lot.
