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. |

Do you still want the hunters to win, Robin? It will make me feel better if you say that's a possible good outcome.
no subject
If it came down to it and the only choice was between wolf and prey... then yes. I would wish for a hunter's victory, since Critter seems to have kept its word so far.

The idea of the prey's winning terrifies me... but if it offers at least some hope to others, I'll try to hold it myself as well.

Still... the risk only increases as the days go on. Especially if random lynching continues - it's entirely possible the last wolf herself could lose the luck of the draw. In a case like that we could easily end up with only a very, very small handful of prey survivors...
It's strange. At today's execution - it became clear group abstention isn't the answer. Neither is straightforward prey or wolf victory, however. So... perhaps Critter wants to be presented with the truth of the clues somehow? Something that hasn't been concluded yet.
no subject
I wonder if Critter would do that.
[Robin runs a hand through her hair, sighing.]
What's the "truth" of the clues, then? To me, they paint a picture of many other games, but beyond that...
no subject
Who are the hunters... the later diary entries don't leave out how the human hunters shot both wolves and rabbits. When Critter eliminated Lithuania, too, it made a distinction - that his conduct proved he was human, his ability to murder another rabbit--?
I won't pretend not to be lost. If these are all the clues we have... At this rate it looks like we might just need to sift through them again and again looking for even the tiniest of concrete details.
no subject
But then how do you prove to be what Critter wants? Shoot neither? Would that be abstaining?
[Arg, Robin doesn't know!]
I tried looking through what Sharon had when it appeared on the TV, but it didn't answer any questions of mine at all. I'm afraid I might not be much helping putting things together.
