GRAVEYARD aka the locked basement LOL

[ You're dead. Either you were ousted and seemed as an ally of the Bad Badger, or the actual allies of the Bad Badger actually got to you.

You remember dying. If you were already dead prior to this whole game... well, you're alive again.

Your death may have been terrible. Poison, being stabbed multiple times, blunt trauma to the head, hanged... whatever. You can still feel the pain.

But... Where are you? You see white walls around you. You're in a hospital...? You're in a room, but there's no one else but you and a man in a blue costume. He doesn't want to reveal his real head, so he hides behind a mask. A badger wearing a blue jester's hat.

And... another person? Has that other person been there all along?

Then you remember being in a mansion. Was that all a dream? You try to figure it out on your own, but you can't seem to come up with an answer. If by any chance you look into the badger's empty black eyes, you might feel like you're being taken to a completely different place. It's as if you can see the mansion again. You can see the people talking, but if you try to call out, nothing happens. They can't hear you.

You avert your gaze from the badger, and those images disappear.

There's so much happening. Pain, and this crazy badger.

You, on the other hand, aren't wearing a blue costume. You have a white dress on, with an opening at the back. That was definitely not what you were wearing... or was it?

You have so many questions. But at least you're not alone. Someone can answer those questions for you. ]

[ NOTE Your characters will be able to see the events happening in the game while in the graveyard as long as they're looking at the Proto Badger. They cannot participate in any of the polls, or try to converse with anybody that isn't in this room. ]

Of course it's not going to be fun if people are cheating.

You're bored, right? I have an idea to make it all more fun.

I... admit I don't have an explanation I am satisfied with. Not at this time.

...You raise a good point, Blackquill. It likes to break its own rules. By the way, did it claim to release your hostage?
dekillerqueen: (You so silly)

[THEN LET US ESTABLISH THAT IT WAS A CLOSE MATCH I suppose? One that ends in Simon's victory, regardless, with all those factors making it all the more impressive.]

Very well done, Mr. Keyes.

I imagine you're quite a bit more skilled than Mr. Knightley ever was, despite his evident passion for the game. [Is passion the right word for it? All he knows is that in the collective... two to four hours he ended up spending around that man, the dude would not stop the goddamn chess metaphors. Or the weird air chess.]

Kahk-kahk. I'm not exactly thrilled with imprecise explanations like "contagious hallucination," either... but whatever gets us closer to the truth is going to get us closer to getting out of here alive.

Really alive! Not, you know, fake alive. Or fake dead. Kahk.

It did not. Only that she has been removed from the game, now I have been removed from it. A logical enough move, given she was being used purely to coerce me.

Is there anything you'd like to say about it?

...Yeah. He had a real inferiority complex over it.

[Horace wasn't so bad, though. And it was fun to watch him get flustered.]

Nope! I just couldn't stand how smug you looked.

It did say that only winners would be given "life." And we've all already lost, haven't we?
shacklebreaker: (let me explain u a thing)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-11 11:35 am (UTC)(link)
And I can scarcely stand the sight of a monkey having a feral tantrum, so we're even.

No!

Well, in terms of losing the game, yes, but we're not losers!

Listen, game ends? Everyone out there walks away? We can work with that. He said it didn't he? We're here because "it's boring".

I'd rather go down kicking and screaming than throw myself on a sword and die, but we're each a little different.
shacklebreaker: (grin)

[personal profile] shacklebreaker 2015-03-11 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed we are. Some of us possess more backbone and more dignity than others... though your tenacity is admirable in its own way.
dekillerqueen: (Judging you so hard right now)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-11 11:59 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I could tell as much.

Of all the people this badger could have mistaken me for...
murimurimuri: (56)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-11 12:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's the mohawk.
dekillerqueen: (Save them. Before they melt.)

[personal profile] dekillerqueen 2015-03-11 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I... It is not a mohawk...!

[no shelly it really kind of is]

You want to be free, don't you? Of the white walls.

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-11 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
But you're bored.

Was it interesting when you had me and Engarde take care of Team Gavin? Did you like that?
murimurimuri: (10)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-11 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad you think so. Now, would you say I'd be more or less interesting as a corpse?
murimurimuri: (81)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-11 12:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What would you call it?

[Normally, this would be the point where Palaeno would object to the offer. Normally, he'd insist that he couldn't possibly accept all of that water. However, it's been a very tiring few days and he's learned the hard way that being overly polite won't get him anywhere.]

...Thank you. [He accepts the bottle with a somewhat shaky hand and unless someone objects, he's draining it in one go. Courtesy be damned.]
