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. ]

Kahk-kahk-kahk. We can't all be deep blue fishing for Bobby Kasparov.

It's nice to see you can at least joke about playing chess.

What's got you so obsessed with it?
murimurimuri: (it's so puny)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not. It's just a way to pass the time.

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 08:12 am (UTC)(link)


No way!

We could've easily played checkers, or battleship, or even paper-scissors-rock, but you specifically went for chess.
murimurimuri: (11)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
No way, I'd be even more bored playing games like that.

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 08:39 am (UTC)(link)


Sss, sss, sss. I think I get it. You could actually lose a game like scissors-paper-rock, so you didn't want to play that.

Kahk-kahk-kahk...

You mean a game like there's twelve teams, three are 'bad badgers', and the rest have to find them and vote them into the 'white walls' room?
murimurimuri: (RUN RUN OR YOU'LL BE WELL DONE)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 08:53 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously not, considering neither of us are doing so well at that one.

[Scuttlebutt ran out of retorts.]

...

It wouldn't have been that bad a game if it wasn't for the killing. And the murderers.
murimurimuri: (no Mr. Bond I expect you to die)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
Can you really call it "killing" when we're sitting around in the basement arguing about games?
cardboard_journalism: (Default)

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 09:30 am (UTC)(link)


R-Right! We're still not dead.

...but... what happened? You... hallucinated killing someone so badly a stain appeared on your smock...?
murimurimuri: (87)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
...I "killed" Gavin.
cardboard_journalism: (Default)

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 09:37 am (UTC)(link)


[taking a glance to make sure Gavin hasn't vanished]

Yet, there he sits.

A paradox, if you will. Kahk-kahk.

[He feels like he shouldn't admit what he's about to, but he's not sober enough to hold it in.]

And I have no idea why I did it.
cardboard_journalism: (Default)

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 09:48 am (UTC)(link)


...yeah. You don't know him, right? Or even if you did... you don't really have any cause to hate him, right? Like how you said you weren't planning on hurting me.

...was it just you? Or did Engarde or anyone else help?
murimurimuri: (53)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Don't get me wrong, I was pretty pissed about the way everything went, but I'd like to think I have bigger fish to fry right now, y'know? And yet the second I stepped out of here, all I could think about was bludgeoning him and carefully arranging the crime scene.

Engarde took Palaeno. I don't think he's ever killed anybody with his own hands before. It's not his style. It's not mine, either.

...hey, when someone's sick... they infect people, right?

So... you think, if a ghost was sick, it would affect living people?
murimurimuri: (44)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2015-03-07 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
You think we were possessed?

[personal profile] cardboard_journalism 2015-03-07 10:08 am (UTC)(link)


Maybe... I'm not exactly happy with such a dumb explanation as 'ghosts', but we've both seen unexplainable things at this point.

Maybe we're not the ones hallucinating. Here's my theory...

The badger was an alive human once. It burned down the house we were in; the people inside died. But the badger for whatever reason lived, and then was declared criminally insane and put in a room like this one in a mental institution, where it got 'injections' every day. Maybe for the burns it got, I dunno.

Eventually it died, and for some reason... its ghost continues to exist, and has now affected us? To make us think we're here? Like whatever affected its mind was contagious and spread to us still-alive people to make us think we're here-- when we're not.

To make us walk out of a room and kill on command, even, then come back like it was normal.

No matter how you look at it, it can't be real. The mirrors, the deaths...

Urgh. This is giving me a headache.

That and whatever you and the other guy were sharing. Kahk-kahk.

...That reminds me. You might wanna hold your breath next time you use the box.

[ugh]

I'll keep it in mind.

[Her poor box...]
