graveyard.



You remember dying. In fact, you remember the exact feeling and fear of how you died, and yet in the next moment, you're suddenly standing in a cold room. You're not sure how you got here at all, but it's as if you were suddenly put here the moment after you died. As you look around, the first thing you'll notice is that you're standing in front of an open casket.

And you're inside.

The corpse inside the casket is definitely you, and it's also definitely dead, which certainly makes this confusing. Luckily, here's someone here to explain. When you wake up, there's footsteps walking closer, and then a familiar face appears. Iván is here, or someone that looks very much like her is. All she starts off with is two simple words—

"You're dead."

Which would seem obvious, but she explains that you have been before you ever arrived to the island. The shipwreck and the island are't real, after all. This is purgatory, and the Hunt is a way to judge the souls of the living. People show their true nature when they're put in a stressful situation, so it was deemed that this was the way that these judgements would be passed. She explains that you'll know your fate when the game ends, but if you really can't wait that long, you could always ask, but hope isn't lost. After all, the "killers" are on your side. If they can win the game, then everyone can come back to life. They know this, and it's why they're fighting so hard to win. It's a shame that the odds don't seem to be in their favor, but that's also part of the Hunt.


Exploring your new surroundings, you'll realize that you're likely at the bottom of that giant sinkhole, at least if that light far above you is any indication. You no longer feel the need to eat or sleep anymore (technically, you never did, but the habits of being alive are hard to break), so it's a good thing there's enough to do while the game continues.

You can watch the proceedings of the Hunt in one room where there's plenty of comfortable couches to sit in and lounge, as well as a fully stocked bar, if you feel like indulging. Another room offers a game room with cards, billiards, and any other games you'd like to play in a group. If you ask your host nicely, she might provide more, but for now, there's not much to do other than to watch and wait for the Hunt to end.

Well, you might as well tell me what it's going to be for me in the end. I'm not going to wait for these morons!

Oh. I don't know, sort of? [The way children believe in fairies-- which, well. Here he is.] It's nice to think about.

[Oh--that's honest surprise on his face. He clearly didn't expect anything more pleasant than 'the void,' so it takes him a moment before his next question comes out in a rush, like he's not sure if he wants to ask:]

Is anyone I-- [nnnooooope] Am I going to be alone up there?
loosetongue: (what a literal infant)

[Ugh, the suffering. A pause, then,] In that case, I hope you know that bastard with the red hood wanted to throw me into the sea! You're not letting him in, are you?
loosetongue: (ancient as things go on the Internet)

[personal profile] loosetongue 2015-08-09 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[OKAY...]

But-- ugh. Never mind! I knew I wasn't going to like you.
loosetongue: (REACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH)

[button: pushed thanks for nothing] Why don't you give me back to him and stop with this ridiculous farce, then? I didn't ask to turn up here!
loosetongue: (ew????)

[personal profile] loosetongue 2015-08-09 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
What do you mean? You're keeping that thing- [an angry gesture at The Coffin Zone] -here, so just put me back in and let me go home!

It worked for Ciel Phantomhive. [he says, like this is solid proof of anything but demon bullshit...]
