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. |

[Wait. Something odd about this whole conversation finally dawns on her.]
Princeling! You're alive! [Flinging herself joyfully at Alois and clutching him in a tight embrace no escape only suffocation now]
no subject
Don't tell me you weren't listening. Don't-- pretend! I-- [he will cRY DON'T EMBARRASS HIM LIKE THAT]
no subject
I'll listen forever from now on, I promise! I'm just so glad you're not dead! [or well...not super dead dead or whatever they should use now]
no subject
We are dead, look, you saw those--things! [Even in this crushing shoujo hug he finds a way to wave off toward wherever the coffins are kept, so those things are apparently their very dead bodies...]
no subject
...ahaha, those sure are realistic looking props, aren't they? I gotta get tips from whoever designed them.
no subject
You're not very attentive for a knight!
no subject
Well, I've got other charms to make up for it. [Finally letting him go so she can clap him on the shoulder SUPER MANLY LIKE] Anyway, the way I see it is that as long as we're still here, nothing's been set in stone yet! Besides, this could still be a super weird dream or something....
no subject
Those people aren't going to do anything right. I can already guess!
no subject
Though I gotta say, I feel really weird cheering on the guys killing everyone...
no subject
Hmm. So who killed you, then?
no subject
What about you? Who murdered you?
no subject
If you say so. [anyway.] And I don't remember, I didn't see a thing! Who would do something so terrible? Did they confess?
[did the wet leaf on the walk to the well confess??!!]
no subject
Are you sure you didn't get even a hint of who they were? You didn't hear them coming or see their shadow or anything when you fell in?
no subject
no subject
But woooow, they must have felt pretty threatened by you to send their main boss out to get you first thing in this game.
no subject
Me? Is that a joke? Not one with any taste at a time like this-- [that Kashima, WHAT a KIDDER] What could I possibly do to someone like that?
no subject
Maybe they were worried you'd figure out who they were?
