graveyard part five
 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. |

If you don't, I'll haunt you! Did you ever find my corpse? Perhaps Critter preserved them with Ice-9! Maybe I'll come back someday as a beautiful mummy.
[ Did she ever tell you this story? It would be a good distraction right now. ]
So...hold out until then. I think I can trust you to do that at least, right?
[ goddamn it holden caulfield why did you have to be you, now you're making her have A Feeling.
and she moves in to try and hug him, if he'll let her. ]

Say what you will about the viper, she sure leaves behind a flawless corpse. But even he realizes that's too tactless. He takes a different tack as he lets him put his arms around her.]
The future is downright queer. But I'll do my best to stick around. [And this is the part where he returns the hug himself.]
Maybe I'll become an archaeologist and go looking for you, how does that sound.
no subject
I'll see you then! Somewhere in the future of your time there's...a me waiting to be born? I think?
[ DOES SHE TECHNICALLY EXIST IN A WORLD SHE ALWAYS THOUGHT WAS FICTIONAL? MANY WORLDS INTERPRETATION..... ]
That makes it sound bad, though, maybe you should stick to my mummy. Either way, it sounds good, hehe.
And, uh, Holden? Even after everything I'm still glad I met you. It was nice having someone by my side.
no subject
BUT.... SHE WAS PROBABLY COOLER THAN THOSE FUCKERS RIGHT... LET'S GO WITH THAT]
Well, yeah, Syo's pretty sure you're a baby in the time all those kids are from....... but if this stuff is linear I'd be an old man by then. Maybe even senile. Do you remember any weird old American men approaching you back when you were a little kid, Akane?
You know what, let's stick with the mummy plan.
[He continues to hold her, looking rather sentimental. Even if they do both come back to life (#timeline problems)... she'd be going to Japan in the future. They both know this mummy plan is a bad joke. It's a good thing they share a sense of humor.]
Meeting you was... one of the only good things that happened to me here, if you want to know the truth.
