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.

Is no fair! Some of us are underage, you know?

Then you don't have to drink for that one. I couldn't think of much I haven't done though...

Did you want to be married?

er....Well it's not really up to me...

...Is not up to you whether you want to be married? [THIS DOESN'T QUITE MAKE SENSE]

Well it's more complicated for nations...I mean for most people they have a choice....just not us really.

Hmmm?

Being a nation sounds hard... [she says, as if it's easy to become on in the first place]

We end up married for political reasons, basically. [Helping?]

Yes, so far most people just take me over and I don't have to get married. Just live at their house sometimes.

[Which is good because unlike a sister of hers, marrying her brother isn't high on her list of things to do.]
