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)

If he doesn't make all three possible sacrifices, I swear to fucking god.

It really would be the very height of hypocrisy - and I've seen quite a lot of it in my life already. But he may just top them all.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya stares at the viewer with a sharp predatory glow, glaring jade-ringed eyes and matching lipstick. (Amputatrix)

He's just there in his ivory tower thinking he's so superior, maybe he won't. Who knows.

Maybe he'll give up his second heart and die.

[laughs in delight at that image] Wouldn't that be fitting! But no, he seems like the sort who gets off on being nobler and more sacrificial than anyone else. More likely he'll bring three people back but try to stop Clara or anyone else from doing the same.
speakveryclearly: Kanaya drawn in sketchy black outline on jade background, with wide eyes, sickle eyebrows, and a warped mouth. ((D8)) (Conflict)

--!!

That would be so like him!

Clara would actually try to do her part, too - and I hope she doesn't let him stop her.
