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.

Best lie has most truth yes? Was not even allowed to say 'am Wolf' anyway.

Either way, are meant to keep lips tight on Wolf motivation whilst we're here. Revealing is a forfeit or... something... all the rules were in woods, can't check from here.

A last resort, if nothing else.

Mayu. Don't you dare.

Well it would work... [IF WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE ANYWAY...]

No it won't. And look at Ms. Carter out there - she has a serious chance of winning!

...You can't be serious. Critter won't give her anything anyway, is totally a thrown game!

It's not over till it's over!

Was over when Abstain failed. Was point of clues, yes?

If it didn't work, that couldn't have been the point of the clues.

Yeah!

Besides I don't get how you can solve the real game using... the fake game's rules. So.

Obviously they're just not solving stuff right.

Maybe they have to finish the wolf and rabbit game first. ...Though I can't say I blame Miss Carter for abstaining and suggesting other things, as that's probably the only way she can still win.

She's being a wolf in sheep's clothing, it's pretty clever. After all, the prey playing dumb is a lot shallower if it's actually shoved in their faces that she wants them all to die. Her finesse is remarkable, it really is.

She's playing her situation as best she can, I think. At least most of them have to know it's her. Mr. Hanekoma was even going to check her next, if I remember right.

...it's a little bizarre, I have to admit, that nobody's stepping forward, I'm starting to wonder if our friend Syo-chan's gonna change things up.

Now the funny thing there is that if Syo votes for Sharon and so does Sharon, she's toast. Unless one of the prey votes for the other prey...

They're so genuine about it though - and Critter hasn't been lighting them up when they actually bother to go into the voting room, I think it might let them get away with this. It hasn't taken her to task for the prey cheating yet, has it? It would have by now.

I don't want them to die though... what happens to hamsters and animals?

[Holden makes a frustrated face (#WOLF PROBLEMS) then dizzily shakes his head to dispel that.]

.....we owe it to the viper to let her try.

We do? Suppose...

Sayaka won't be happy though... [what's going to kill Madoka? Trial or Carter?]

As long as Sharon's still alive and trying to win, we owe it to her and our side to keep our mouths shut. Even if we're very likely going to lose anyway, throwing in the towel intentionally may convince Critter to not even bother with the real game.

Besides, I know the rules very well. Revealing our incentive isn't a forfeit, it simply gets rid of it...making the whole thing pointless.

Ah... is that how it works?

I give up...

It was fairly obvious you were one so that much wasn't a concern, at least. I only regret not taking your claim at one hundred percent face value. [shaking his head...

but his expression brightens a little at that.] Oh! My, that is something to consider, isn't it? Someone ought to let that slip if this charade carries on after trial today. Perhaps we'll be able to stop the game from this side after all.

Ah... seems have been shot down over that, but at least should bear in mind.

[yeah geez where'd all these hunters come from]

It's good to have one potential out. We've been following that creature's rules for weeks, we may as well discard them now that things have grown so dull.

Exactly! If it's over, why play at all!

There isn't a point in it. I can't even call their efforts valiant since they're being so grossly passive.
