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.

[...Long. Suffering. Sigh. Ugh.]

...Looks like he just managed to put a big target on himself.

[Don't get her wrong, she's actually kind of happy under that melancholy expression but--dammit, she told him not to join her here. Or at least, she hoped he'd get out...]

[notyetlost]

And he totally deserves every ring of that bullseye.

[destage]

[...She'd say something, but she's pretty sure it would entice a plate or two being thrown at her head so she. Refrains and just puts her face in one of her hands.]

...I'm not even going to attempt to argue that point with you, sir.

[She's done. She's 1000% done with this game, and it likely shows.]

You can greet him tomorrow with no regrets and give him props for standing up for what he believed in. No matter what anyone here says, we're not on uneven ground, you know? He isn't in the wrong by choosing to do what he did, just as none of the rest of us are are incorrect.

The last of the clues will be sent out tonight anyway so with luck, that should be that. [he seems pretty cavalier about the entire mess BUT HEY they're dead, what're they going to do about it.]

[destage]

[...That's somewhere between being damned with faint praise, and actually kind of nice praise. Sayaka doesn't respond for a couple seconds--it's food for thought, sure, but...]

...That's an excellent point, actually. I hadn't thought of it like that...

[...Success? She at least seems happier thinking that, if...for entirely wrong reasons.]

...Heh. Hopefully the prey will be able to understand those clue, or else it seems like it'll all go to waste.

[it's about as good as he can get, unfortunately... but hey! he doesn't want the people responsible for helping him wipe out the wolves to feel bad. the only people who should feel bad in his humble opinion are the idiots and the people who didn't even bother playing.]

He's also extended our time limit, you know? It's not all for nothing. [unless the remainders can't figure out the clue COME ON GUYS... he shrugs.] It's all on their shoulders now, nothing else we can do for it.
