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 world I come from may no longer be worth saving. [ Harsh, but true. ] And there's no place for someone like me in a world like that.

[ She looks down at her scarred hands just to give her eyes somewhere else to point at aside from Kanaya. ] I do not want to go back. Not without the rest of you. That is what I agreed to fight for.

Hey, it's not as if we would have all gone back to the same location anyway, is it.

[The words ring hollow as she says them. That's not really true, is it? She and Charles have discussed this... how likely it is they'll all meet again. And she does wish they could remember one another, be together in some realm, but they can't. Very soon, she won't be able to help anyone anymore.]

Maybe... maybe we'll be sent into a real afterlife, if we're not brought back.
