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. |

Hm. For what it's worth, you were, and still are easier to communicate with than some of those also forced into this game.

Ah? I'm glad you think so. It can be annoying to hang out with people who forever go on about the Zaroff thing. Especially when I'm caught out so early on. It can be very nag nag nag...
[ Well, Reimu is permitted to nag all she likes, since she did actually straight up shoot Reimu. Fair is fair. ...Not that Shijima's likely to apologize or anything... ]
For my part, I find the selection of company down here pleasant so far.

I can see why. Although, I am pleased we seem to be on the same wavelength.
There should be enough to keep us entertained for the days to come either way, and I suppose recreational consumption if that is within your interests.

I don't mind watching the game from here. It's a bit same-old same-old, but it's fun to watch things go wrong, I guess...? Or go right...well, I've never seen them go really right myself.

[ And are generally pretty rude, but hey. ]

If I had ever seen a game where the hunt lost, I might be able to say if there was something else. Since I haven't, I don't know.
