GRAVEYARD

So, you're dead. Shame, that.

But on the other hand, it's actually kind of nice.

When you "wake" in some odd version of it, you'll find yourself lying on a rather plush bed. It's cozy and warm and just soft enough to tempt anyone back into sleep. The room is equally nice, if small, and when you turn and open the curtains to look out the window, you will see... wait, is that the town?

It is, actually. The town is laid out quite simply across the window and no matter how many times you may bang or wave through the window, no one seems to notice you. If you're smart enough to give up the venture and leave the small bedroom, you will notice that, of course, you are on the train.

The train that, is actually pretty fancy.

Moving through it, past the sleeping cabins and through to the main carts, you will find a dining car with fine dishware and meals of all kinds made at a push of a button or a request given to the air. They'll appear, freshly made and ready to eat at the table of your choice with any drink you could want. There truly doesn't seem to be any limits when it comes to the luxury of the meal.

There is also a bathhouse car with private bathrooms and saunas to fit up to four. Even one rather large room containing a small pool/hot tub of sorts is available for just about anyone to take a dip. It's kind of outlandish, honestly.

Then the lounge car, with its library and plush armchairs and couches. A pool table, a darts board, even a small area dedicated to painting. There's a bar too, fully stocked and ready for anyone who needs a drink. All it would require is a request from the bartender who... looks surprisingly familiar?

The Sheriff is there, much cleaner cut than his counterpart outside of the train. He looks up mildly at any arrivals, giving them a nod of greeting before going back to organizing bottles or setting cigars out for a smoke. He doesn't seem to be surprised at all by anyone who appears. Just... ready to serve them, whatever they may wish.

It all sort of seems okay for a moment, until you realize you're just here to wait for the game to end. Awkward.

[... Well, it's good that Xion wants to live, but to answer her question:]

I'd like to know the same thing, except the answer is probably because Mr. Sheriff dumped me out there.

[Aka it was definitely not of his own will??? He's kind of offended that everyone thinks he's stupid enough to break curfew, although he... would go after Xion if she went out...]

[ Let's. Let's not discuss the fact that either of them would have 100% gone outside after the other if that kind of thing happened, meaning that everyone's logic in the trial is. Actually fairly sound.

INSTEAD, we're just doing to discuss how unfortunate it is that absolutely nothing about their deaths is what it looked like. ]


Really? ... ugh. [ Makes a face. ] ... did that mean Mr. Barnham was going after you, specifically, too?

[It's sound BUT ALSO STILL WRONG.]

Probably. He had to have asked Mr. Sheriff to leave me outside, or something like that.

[ Like. It's. R...omantic? BUT SO WRONG. BECAUSE IT'S ROMANTIC!! THEY'RE INCAPABLE OF IT. ]

... he didn't tell you why, did he? [ Her mouth is pulling to one side in some consternation. ] He at least gave me a reason. I wonder if he even knew you were a Bounty.

He wouldn't even speak. Guess he wanted to hide his identity—which is smart, if ultimately pointless since he killed you too. Looks like he didn't have the balls to let me know in person.

I don't know if he knew about my role, though. Wouldn't be surprised if he did, since Mr. Sheriff probably wasn't above telling people at that point.

[ ... touches his arm, gently. ]

As much as I hate that he did this, I ... think they'll still need him. If they can't figure out another way to win, Mr. Barnham is starting to seem like one of the whole people who really could be one of the only ones left standing. [ A huff. ] He probably thought he was protecting you, too.

Oh, I'm sure he had nothing but good intentions in his head.

I just also really wish he'd talk to Percy or one of the others, because he's screwing up all our plans and I don't really like to see all our effort go down the drain because of this.

Me too. He shouldn't be doing this alone. The harder he tries, the more things might get messed up. I really hope we can send him some kind of sign next week.

[ too bad they

WON'T BE ABLE TO!! ]
