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. |

Mhmm. Looks like Orion might have company soon enough...well, it looks like Royce isn't going to let it go this time... [ Like he did with her. He learned quick. ] ...well, now she gets to see how much "fun" it is to lie for an entire trial.
[ it's mostly a headache, tbh, she doesn't envy gi-ne ]
no subject
Hm. So, in the end, despite their heavy losses, it will be another success on their hands. They also likely learned somewhat not to lean so much on ties, emotionally-wise.
Admittedly, I hadn't thought they would have caught her here. But, I suppose with this it was inevitable.
no subject
It would be the first success for them - I don't think my being caught can be attributed to the Innocents, here. After all, I was handed to them by a General. [ Orion... ] I wonder if she would have gotten away with this if my trial hadn't happened, though? Not everyone gave me the benefit of the doubt, but some of them did.
[ She does appreciate that, even though she was 100% lying her ass off, accompanied by her brother. ]
no subject
That is true.
[ Without Orion he supposed that may have not happened for a long time. ]
I do believe your trial and the fact you had a few people who had managed to get too close to you only for it to end up as it had did make some re-evaluate how they took this 'game'. Even if it was a bit late and they should've done so much earlier.
[ To be honest, he is actually surprised it got some of these people to wake up and smell the coffee. He had been expecting something like that to occur once more. ]
no subject
[ Which is technically bad for the whole "mafia wins" scenario that would be the preferred outcome for everyone still playing. ]
...I'm pretty sure she's losing this round. The cuts on her arm are the hard evidence that everyone's always so upset doesn't exist, you know? Well, even if they went with the sword with a gun, he's a member, too. The only one who isn't is that purple haired fellow.
no subject
He decides to take a point on that so-called sofa, and sit down, as well as to put to use that bottle of alcohol he had grabbed earlier to pour himself a glass. ]
So it is only a matter of time, at this point. It was a good show, at least, and she will simply have to pass on that letter to someone else...if she is in the mind to do so.
no subject
[ old ladies don't need tact and sympathy, apparently. ]
But I understand not giving up until the last second...so, it's true it was a good show. She tried her best.
no subject
It's possible even if they are not victorious, and Gi-ne needing to pass it to someone innocent, someone else still alive would happen to know something about Mary's location if this game ends in favor of the innocents. As well as if the remaining were allowed to live.
Although the chances of it reaching Mary's mother at this outcome would be extremely less likely to pass.
[ The first part is something he'll disagree with, simply because he knew it would've been possible. But now the odds have changed and so he simply nods at the secondary statement she makes as he takes a sip from his glass. ]
no subject
[ Which is why she's confused. There's literally no way to send mail out of the afterlife, so the only way to post that letter is if Everyone Lives - in which case the letter is no longer important. ]
Wow, let's pretend the mun isn't a doofus. I'm sorry, laughs.
... At this point, however, it seems we'll be having a whole party of individuals arriving. It'll be a wonder if there is just as many deaths the next night as this past one.
OH...I'M SORRY TOO i was confused
Depends. The gunsmith may or may not still be alive.
Phew haha and it's np not your fault!
If it is an important role, then isn't it something that would be announced dead if it had passed?
[ Of course, in this game with its wonderful hidden rules and all... ]
no subject
[ She's not clarifying...as usual. ]
no subject
Okay, he'll try a little. ]
What do you mean by 'sometimes', exactly?
no subject
no subject
Hm, but of course.
[ He takes a pause. ]
...Just out of curiosity, however, since you have played in this game for a myriad of times, would you have happened to play in one with Ivan? Before she was able to become an Overseer?
no subject
No.
