graveyard part five

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)

[Sighs]

Maybe he can make his attempt silently.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

We could rip out his tongue.
motheringnation: (Wait I forgot something)

[personal profile] motheringnation 2013-06-12 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Then we'd get blood everywhere though. And what would we do with his tongue?

We could always gag him.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya chatting cheerily. Jade lipstick. (Approval)

That's true, there's plenty of fabric available for that and it's much more.... [She hates the word humane.] Reversible.
motheringnation: (Sometimes it just hurts)

[personal profile] motheringnation 2013-06-12 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
And easier I would think.

I feel sorry for that friend of his though.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya with a really faint glow and looking down (Alone)

Clara...

[Roomie!!]

I don't know why she had to be saddled with him.
motheringnation: (in the army now)

[personal profile] motheringnation 2013-06-12 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like she's letting him go if she manages to survive.


....good for her.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking down with shades on and a thin, grim glow. (Displeased)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-06-12 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm proud of her for that much.

[Kanaya you're like fourteen.]

[And Ukraine is like 1200 or more. It is always the right age to be proud of people getting out of abusive relationships.]

I hope she gets the chance. I can't imagine it can be good to be friends with someone like that.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looks down at a computer screen casting purple light on her intense face. (Serious)

[personal profile] speakveryclearly 2013-06-12 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
She doesn't need somebody who doesn't respect her as a person. I won't pretend interspecies relationships are doomed by design [ahahaha does the shifting of light beams on her face seem to mimic a flush] but interaction based on the inferiority of one party - especially unfounded - is never a good thing, no, I think you're right there.

[She nods, not really having much to add to the first part.]

Who do you think is going to show up here next?
speakveryclearly: Kanaya looking up, flickering gently, thoughtful. (Learning)

...

Beat resembles Mondo, and I've been told that the Doctor, however annoying, is genuinely more useful to the pack alive than dead.

Your guess?
