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)

People are threatening Holden? [wide-eyed look of horror] Why, who would ever dream of doing such a terrible thing?

[WOW CIEL NO] And have all that sugar go straight to my hips? Besides, soda and fruit juice sadly won't do much to erase the memory of the last few trials, and that is half the point of this.

That's irrelevant. It'd make for a livelier criteria than taking a shot every time someone on TV agonizes about abstaining, wouldn't it?

[CASUALLY BRUSHES OFF...]

Ah, I haven't thought of that. Do you really think that could potentially destroy your figure, though? I've told Charles all the churros he's been wolfing down might do him harm, but he didn't care at all. Do you insist on drinking, then? [she sniffs once in mild disapproval...] I suppose I can't say anything, not given all you've had to experience during the last few days. Alcohol set aside though, how about something more innocuous and all around age-friendly instead? It's not very original, but Truth or Dare is still a timeless classic, isn't it?

[condescent]

Unlike our dear Charles, I'm afraid I've never had much of a sweet tooth to begin with. But if you're that worried about it, let me reassure you that I don't usually drink at all. It's just that I'm also usually never this terribly bored.

Aww, no one here you'd like to spin the bottle for? Hee hee, that sounds fine to me though. Shall we do a shot or a drink every time there's a truth or dare we'd like to avoid? [the only way he will ever be drinking during this game is if people only ask him truths]

You're also in a completely human body, dead or not. Just please keep that in mind, okay?

[THAT SAID!]

Please don't suggest such blasphemous things to a woman of the cloth, now. That sounds reasonable, yes, if you insist on involving alcohol. I'd say something against potential brawls and how violence isn't good, but with so many nations here, the point is moot.

[...sounds legit.]

Would that be starting soon?
