graveyard part five

[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. (The graveyard so far)

day thirteen cont

[gamehead]

[After everyone has paid in their sacrifices, Critter will clap its hands once and Lithuania will appear on the couch.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania was pretty sure he was on fire. Being on a couch is, if rather confusing, a much better situation. But he's still looking extremely confused about the entire situation.

Is that a flat-screen television?]

...Ehh?

TRIAL POPCORNING PART I

[speakveryclearly]

[a.k.a. Doctor please

Kanaya has a rich violet-burgundy drink in her hand and is indulging it generously as this goes on.]

On the one hand, this is completely stupid and literally suicidal.

On the other hand, he's pretty much right about his role in this game.

[tsunneverset]

What is he doing? [seriously Doctor you're like one of his heroes but what are you doing]

[encored]

[cracks up at that last comment...]

Ah, truly. [and still in a jovial tone:] I'll skin him alive if he actually does manage to ruin this, though. Even the hamster child is speaking more intelligently. Let's put our faith in him, yes?

Re: TRIAL POPCORNING PART I

[hintcoinplz]

His plan is rubbish but...

[Luke frowns, rubbing the back of his head.]

It would be nice if there was a way to come back after all this. I mean I know we can't, being dead and all, but it'd still be nice.

[axeforasong]

It is silly! If abstain works, all is good. If abstain doesn't work, can make martyr by Wolves; not like are any better targets.

[come on people tactical murder isn't hard]

[bloodofgrima]

[Hi, Kanaya, hope you don't mind Robin chilling near you as she watches as well.]

I could see why he might try to offer it. He does have a point about not knowing what would happen and trying to extend the time. In a different sort of circumstance, I might do the same for myself.

[Hell, she knows what he's feeling. She felt pretty useless after that breakdown of hers.]

But I don't think this is the time or place for it. Mayu said it right earlier -- the point is not to play the game. I hope they all listen to Sharon.

[motheringnation]

Maybe he's suicidal.

[She has her own thing of horilka, and a nearby bottle of it as well.]

INTERMISSION

[notyetlost]

[As per Damian's request Poland will be performing the de facto British national anthem 'God Save the Queen.'

While dancing. In a dress. For your entertainment.]

...Ow! Kanaya you're supposed to sew the fabric not my flesh!

[You know as soon as he's ready to come out from behind the couch.]

I NEVER THOUGHT I'D GET TO USE THIS ICON SO LITERALLY

[speakveryclearly]

[Speaking around the needle and thread in her mouth:]

It's a difficult distinction to make on you pink monkeys!

[And after a final dramatic thread-pull and knot-tie--]

There!! --I'm sorry.

[axeforasong]

Can't really sing English too well; backing a capella?

[vytis]

What are you doing? [Lithuania is still not entirely sure what's going to be happening.]

[motheringnation]

[Leaning over.]

Do you need any help?

[tsunneverset]

Poooooooland. [England's voice is a sing-song.] Stop hiding and come out already, won't you? Damian sacrificed quite a lot to bring Lithuania back, you know - and this was after you tried to strangle him too. Are you really going to break a promise to an innocent boy who helped you out from the goodness of his heart?

A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS

[yvnyet_uv_mekrdhehk]

[Rikku wakes up flailing and gasping for air, potentially hitting anyone who is unlucky enough to be sitting near where she's appeared.]

Help!! Ramb!! Mad sa uid!! Anyone, please!!

[Oh wait, there's no more water. Once she realizes that much, she sits up and stares at everyone else in the room.]

Eh...heh...heh...

Hi?

Re: A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS

[speakveryclearly]

Rikku...

[Well that was gutsy. Ironic that she'd randomly voted for her once and now randomness was what actually claimed her life in the end.

Kanaya gets to her feet - missing a horn of course - and offers Rikku a hand up.]

Welcome to the afterlife.

[vytis]

Good evening, Miss Rikku. [Or--not so much, actually. Lithuania smiles sympathetically.] It seems like you got unlucky.

[bloodofgrima]

[Yeah, don't mind her fit there, she's breathing now.]

Hello.

[axeforasong]

[hi, there's a pint-sized murdering singer offering a hand up]

...Sorry. Truly thought that would work.

AFTER CRITTER'S DOUCHEBAGGERY

[bloodofgrima]

[Robin is almost too stunned at what just happened to actually speak.

That wasn't... that... it...]

Gods bless it!!

[It's one of the few times she's ever lost her temper enough to yell, but everything is bubbling back up now -- frustration, anger, helplessness...]

Then what does it want?

[condescent]

[He rewinds the TV until the blackboard in the school is visible again and points at it.]

'The Hunters have to be stopped. Don't make the wrong choice.' I think that makes it fairly clear, don't you? What a pity the Doctor couldn't have mentioned that little tidbit in the middle of all his sanctimony.

ooc note

[gamehead]

Thanks to Lenga, we now have a Graveyard So Far page. Give it a perusal if you need to catch up!

drinking games!!

[condescent]

[Once night starts and the television shuts off, Joshua will gather as many different bottles and types of drinks he can find and head towards the center of the cabin.]

Seeing as how this game has grown rather dull and we no longer have anything to do during the nights, let's make our own entertainment, hmm? Does anyone have any good drinking games they'd like to suggest? Spin the bottle's always a classic, but I'm afraid some people might be a little too eager for that...[fluttering his lashes at Holden]

[axeforasong]

Drinking is a game?

day fourteen

[gamehead]

[Critter won't be showing up this morning, but you still have a new arrival!]

Watching tv

[motheringnation]

[Well after that night of fun/drinks. Ukraine is sipping something non alcoholic. And watching the people]

Oh look, he still wants to see us.

England, is he normally this bad?

day fourteen; post trial

[gamehead]

[Critter will show up alongside Sharon tonight.]

Hee hee...congratulations, prey! I was kinda worried for a while there, but it really looks like your side finally stepped it up. And I'm sure you're all excited to finally leave this cabin, yes? Tonight's the last night you'll be here, so make sure to get in your final farewells! After that...well, even I don't know where the dead will wind up going, especially not when they're all killers like you.

Oh, except the hunters. Maybe a few of you will manage to get a second chance! But I doubt it.

[unadorned]

You miserable bastard!
