graveyard part 4

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.

Don't mention it! You might not remember but you were one of the first.
axeforasong: (I like the hack and slash genre)

Ah, I remember here now Kanaya; don't worry. But we were able to pick up things even knowing nothing thanks to everyone's help.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looks at viewer with brows slightly raised over her eyes, her lips quirked up just enough to reveal two fangs. (Hope)

Oh thank goodness. I wasn't sure if amnesia would be a permanent cost of your reprieve.
axeforasong: (It's okay! I'll just stab it!)

Seems not, yes? Was just to keep secrets I think. Couldn't even remember Omnivore...
axeforasong: (It would get everywhere!)

speakveryclearly: Kanaya, soft glow, with playfulness in her green-painted lips and eyes. (Anticipation)

I don't think Critter would let you anyway.
axeforasong: (Hacking stuff up is effort...)

[personal profile] axeforasong 2013-06-09 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, should totally have grabbed axe when executed; would at least had that...

What's with ghosts dying same way twice anyway. Critter originality only strikes once!
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with faintly upquirked lips and eyebrows at a whimsical Terezi. (Uncertainty)

I guess the axe was considered a sufficient variant. And Critter apparently adores fitting deaths; there are only so many ironic ways for the same person to die.
axeforasong: (but look I'm completely innocent yo)

So many opportunities though! Guillotine, chopping block, hit by falling tree.

...Little disappointing to be honest.
