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)

When Mr. Wayne died, those who knew him seemed so insistent that he wouldn't kill anyone. Insistent enough I didn't vote for him. And then Miss Ada--she seemed like such a sweet girl, you know?

I thought--you know, maybe you could bring people back if you won, or something like that. [He laughs, a bit embarrassed.] Or maybe I just like wolves too much. I've always had a bit of a running theme there.

[notyetlost]

[Poland doesn't say anything, but hums contently.]

[vytis]

[Lithuania laughs.]

What a mess everything's become. I wonder what the clues will do.

[notyetlost]

Who knows. I can't even figure out what they're supposed to mean really, that's why I made you do it.

[Poland remembers the wording of Critter's promise that night in the woods. After studying clues for so long, maybe he'd gotten a little over zealous with parsing it's words but...]

Solving the real game sounded like the best alternative really. You have no idea how hard it was for Mayu and I to convince Kanaya.

[vytis]

Really? What else is there to do here? ...Besides eat, I suppose.

[At least clues seemed productive.]

[notyetlost]

Now that all the clues are out?

Drink.

[Sorry Liet, you missed all the sacrificial drama.]

[vytis]

[Hey, that's some good luck for once.]

Only if they have proper beer here.

[notyetlost]

Yeah the food and booze here are like the best part. At first I was like, oh my god is this going to be like one of Greece's weird myths where if you eat the food of the dead you're totally stuck forever?

But then I was like. Yeah whatever I'm hungry. And the fridge has good paluszki and wodka so.

[Yes, that is literally all he has been eating for two weeks. Aside from a rogue pierogi craving.]

[vytis]

...Is that all you've had?

[Poland that's not healthy!]

[notyetlost]

Maybe.

[Hey like don't give him that face Lithuania. You don't know me. You don't know my life death.]

[vytis]

You are going to double die of malnutrition, eat a proper meal right now!

[notyetlost]

Um... Earth to Liet.

We're already dead.

[vytis]

That's no excuse for poor eating habits.

[Lithuania stands up and drags Poland to the kitchen area.]

[notyetlost]

[Poland is dragged.]

Liet there's like not even a toilet in this place, I don't think we're digesting stuff!

[vytis]

Then once this is over and you do start digesting things and all you've been eating for--two weeks--has been snack food, you're going to be sorry, aren't you?

[Here is some balandėliai you will be eating it right now.]

[notyetlost]

[Poland laughs.]

Oh my god is the King of the upset tummies seriously lecturing me on my diet?

[He won't say no to Lithuania's ridiculous doting though.]

[vytis]

When your diet is paluszki--hey! [Swatting Poland, though not hard enough to interfere with him getting a proper meal.]

[notyetlost]

[Ehehe hee hee~]

You're such a dork.

[vytis]

[HUFF.] Eat!

[notyetlost]

Okay okay! [Eating! Are you happy now Lithuania?]

[vytis]

[YES. Back to gossiping about wolves.] So when did they start deviating from the list?

[notyetlost]

Mmmm...

Well, I mean they started going after women and children right after I died. Personally I wouldn't have picked Kanaya though, I thought Ciel was more of a pain.

But officially on the list... I think it might have actually been Ukraine. Or maybe Fuwaka when they poisoned her? But Naegi had so many classmates on that stupid list we were going to have take one out eventually.

I dunno everything seems like so long ago honestly. [Poland really didn't play much at all.]

[vytis]

Miss Ciel really was a problem for your side, though at least for a while the rest of the prey suspected her of being the convert. You should have gone after all three of the Mayfield group straight off, though I suppose you couldn't have realized it at the time.

[Monday morning quarterbacking...]

Ah, but really I don't think your side did so badly! We were just terrible in the beginning, if you remember.

[notyetlost]

I think that's why everyone kept her around, they figured she was suspicious enough that she'd get herself lynched with a little nudge.

But then like. No one ever gave the nudge. They just kept giving up. Over and over and over.

[Lithuania you have no idea how painful watching them all roll over was for Poland. It was embarrassing.]

[vytis]

You did seem to have that problem once we started hitting our stride... Did Miss Ukraine mention that she never actually checked Naegi, by the way?

[And therefore Lithuania really did just lie his way through that trial. Lithuania steals some of Poland's food.]
