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. |

But it'd save Liet, who like the whole reason you guys got six clues in two days to begin with.
no subject
Yeah, but I don't want to give up anything important to me if it's not even going to help us get out of here. I would have done clues, sure, if you lot hadn't beaten me to it. But for Liet? Tt.
no subject
A-ah. [Poland tries to keep his voice level.] Okay. You totally don't have to give up anything if you don't want to. Maybe someone else will.

[ Yes. Hello, Mayu. Damian would much rather talk to you than Poland. ]
So you're saying we should sacrifice for him, things we might not get back, because he figured out some stuff and kept the game going for longer. Ridiculous.
[ But noble in its own way, he supposes. He glances at his father. Bruce won't be able to sacrifice again. He'll have to sit by and do nothing, no matter what he might want. Damian can't help but hesitate, though. He thinks Liet is an idiot. ]

[Damian considers for a little longer, but he's always had a soft spot for kids - Mayu's a kid, right? - and besides, Father gave something up.]
Fine.
But Poland has to wear a dress and sing a show tune. In front of everybody.
1/2
2/2

I agree, I agree! [THEY HAVE ENOUGH SINGERS HERE THEY CAN DO BACKING MUSIC]
Re: 2/2
[For a moment, Damian's face had fallen. But now he smiles brilliantly.]
Sing a show tune in front of everyone. Loud enough they can all hear.
And I get to pick the song.
[In your face, you stupid country.]
no subject
Deal.
[Poland will offer his left hand to even make it official and shake on it.]
no subject
God Save the Queen.
[ And now, to decide what to give up. ]
no subject
Anglia.

Get him to sing 'God Save the Queen', he'll hate it. [Someone might still be a little bitter over the 'daddy complex' comment yesterday...]

Got it.
