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.

Ahaha, well... I'm glad I managed to annoy Critter, at least. I don't think it expected me to act the way I did.

[ Because yeah — if her targets had been random like Critter wanted, this game might have ended a lot sooner. At least that's something. ]

She doesn't want to vote, but she understands what's going on here. It's not the blind hope some others have. [ Even if watching Madoka have to vote makes her feel sick... it might be what's kept her alive this long. ] I won't let her sacrifice herself just to help everyone else, though. She needs to go back home and protect everyone now that I'm gone.

I don't think anyone expected you to act the way you did, to be honest. No one even figured out that you were a scavenger until a hunter suggested it.

[which is another impressive thing on the list of impressive things she managed to do... but he nods once at that.] It's good, not having that sort of hope. That's the hope that gets people killed. At any rate, I doubt you have to worry about that. Unless a fluke accident occurs, she'll likely see this game to its end no matter what that end is. [which might actually be a Fate Worse Than Death ending but he will be polite enough to not... say that aloud....]
