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. |

...No. Thinking like that won't help anyone. She just has to stop doing that.
Slow, deep breath.]
Thank you. I... appreciate it. Even after I tried to just bow out here...

Even despite her position, Robin tends to wear her emotions on her sleeves most of the time, and it's clear that even Kanaya just being thankful for her lifts Robin's spirits quite a bit.]
Thank you, again. If there's any way you can think of that I can help from now on... even just advice you want, please, ask me. I may be unsure what I can offer it on, but I will certainly be glad to.

The time for advice may come sooner than you think. Did you notice that our slots for sacrifices have been narrowed down while at the same time the number of people allowed to go at once have been increasing? With so little time left in the game - especially with just one remaining hunter - we've been talking much more seriously about what's best to do where and when.
no subject
No, I hadn't. I'm sorry.
[But still... that's worrying. Very worrying. A single Hunter left...]
Has anything been decided for tonight?
no subject
But tonight we have three slots again. The discussion's only just about to start on those.

I ended up going before you.

Then, I think, it's time I make up for my absence. Don't you agree?
no subject
Maybe it is. Even so, though, you'd be only one of three. Kyouko is quite determined - and she does have a stake as one of her classmates is left alive. Ciel talked about that, how perhaps those ghosts with friends still among the living should be focused on for the sake of signaling to them. [and well Robin it'd be great if you could get through to Mondo but tonight he's almost definitely gonna die...] America and Ukyo aren't so sure, though.
no subject
...I agree. Assuming Mondo survives the night, I... know what could possibly get through to him.
Even just one of three is more than I've done so far. I have to do this tonight.
...So please. Help me to do that.
