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. |

Yeah, once they realised I was the only one hurt, I was gone for. [...] Thank you. We've honestly been pretty lucky so far.
no subject
It's no problem. It was indeed lucky enough that in the beginning I had wondered until this turn that if a General would be caught this trial.
[ He takes a sip. ]
Do you think the others with you will be able to finish the job, at least?
[ Their only hope of all of them coming back alive, really...as terrible as it was. ]
no subject
Yes. [Firmly. She has faith in her friends.] We all promised we would. And there's two that definitely won't come under suspicion for a long time, so I think they'll be okay.
no subject
[ He brings a glass to his lips to cover a smile this time, or try to. Sure he had also accepted the possibility that all of them would remain dead. However, something about how positive Gi-ne was could possibly be making him believe that there might be a chance. It makes him wonder why he would care, if one option was to go to Heaven, and he wouldn't have to deal with any more troubles. ]
I suppose this means we should be thinking about what we're going to do when we are released from this 'game' and go home, then?
no subject
Right! I have complete faith in my team. [At the very least, she can count on Tsurumaru and Hijikata to murder and Clarine has proved herself quite capable!] So make lots of plans! I'm actually hoping I can get them to drop me off on Earth instead of my home planet.
no subject
[ ... If he had known Clarine was a General, then, he might have had quite the reaction.
At the moment, he only knows of the two dead here, Hijikata, and Tsurumaru. He knew that those two were certainly very talented in killing, from what he's heard, anyway. ]
And what may be on this planet called 'Earth' that you would wish to go there instead of your own world?
no subject
[Does The Judge really want to see her back here again SHE THINKS NOT better send her to Earth.]
no subject
...However, how do you mean 'die again'? What happened on your own planet?
[ Maybe this is probing a bit, but hey, he's curious, okay? Also he would hope none of them would ever find their way back here once again. ]
no subject
no subject
That... is a shame, then. It's unfortunate that happened.
In that case, I should hope you go to Earth. It should be easy to arrange with the amount of power it seems the one behind this 'game' holds.
[ They seem to have such unfathomable power, and now hearing this? He is thinking that Ivan has to do it that way, should the Generals win. It'd only
be fairmake sense. ]no subject
Also, the saiyans deserved it.]
Yeah. If not Earth, another planet is fine so long as it has space travel technology. [And so long as Frieza doesn't find her.] ... But if I have to pass on while the rest of you come back to life, that's... okay. I'll be fine.
[But she's not asking the Judge where she's going.]
no subject
His thoughts on the subject were deterred a bit when she finished speaking, and his fingers lightly drummed against what he considered to be the half-full glass cup. ]
It would be unacceptable if she treated you any different than anyone else who had been a General or an Innocent role while playing this game...should that win condition be fulfilled. [ The one when the Generals are victorious, of course. ] I'm sure there are others who would agree with that.
no subject
Oh, I'm sure I'll kick up a fuss if that woman tries to say no. [Can't go down without a fight, after all.] At this point, I'm half in it just to prove her wrong.
... Thank you, though.
