graveyard part five

[gamehead]

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)

[Just kinda wrinkles his nose and makes a face at the flick, but his scolding is taken with stride. Finding himself there, he guessed this was coming - though okay, the hat is a surprise.]

I ain't even gonna defend it, man. I was there, I found out I got chumped like everyone else.

[Beat's playing it tough because of how normal everyone is acting. But he can't quite mask the tiredness or the sadness in his voice. He'd had all of the previous evening to reflect on his failure and worry. He groans...]

It really was just stupid ass hype.

[condescent]

Well, as long as you realize how stupid it was, I'll forgive you for making us sit through such a disappointing trial. [He shrugs.] It was really the Doctor's fault, anyway. He managed to decipher the clue I sent - the one that specifically said not to let the hunters win - and decided to stay silent about it and try to martyr himself instead for no good reason.

And you did win me a bet, so I suppose it's not a total loss for me there.
