POPULATION: 41 The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round…until they suddenly stop. Just as quickly as the bus ride started, the sudden jolt of the bus hitting the brakes may disrupt you from your current activities (whatever those may be.) It’s hard to determine just how long you’ve been on this road trip, but some of you may be able to tell it’s been nearly forty-eight hours. Where could you have possibly been traveling? Worry not, dear travelers! Why, if you’ll wait one moment, the doors of the bus will gently open… …and the floors of the bus will tilt, spitting every single one of you out onto the ground with little warning before the doors slam closed and the bus begins to drive away. As you gather your wits and regain your bearings, the first thing you may notice is the very distinct scent of pine and the lingering scent of rain in the air. Beneath your feet, the words BUP STOP have been spray painted into the dirt and above you a large wooden sign proudly declares that you’ve arrived at your destination. Welcome to CAMP GATONINA. Well-maintained greenery surrounds the area with trees as far as the eye can see, and a dirt path seems to lead straight into camp. Fog looms in the distance, though perhaps that’s from the rainy weather. Come along, don't be shy. You’re welcomed here, after all! As you make your way forward, you’ll soon be greeted with the sound of a bright and almost cheerful voice that seems to be amplified somehow, gathering the attention of all. "Right this way, ladies and gentlemen. Your lovely hosts await!" A cloud of fog parts, and in the center of the path sits a three-tiered platform. Three figures stand on the platform before you, two of whom hold a white basket with depictions of the sun. Despite looking directly at them, it’s hard to make out the features of these three outside of their very unusual outfits. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the camp later, but for now it seems that the figure in the top hat has a megaphone in hand and an announcement to make. "That should be all of you. Let's not waste time, shall we? You'll need these sooner than later, I imagine." The figure with the top hat begins to call out names as the other two figures hold onto the basket, using their free hands to distribute small keys with different wooden keychains shaped like animals. When the final key is distributed, the megaphone is lifted once more as the figure without the basket gestures to the space around you. "Welcome to Camp Gatonina. We look forward to your stay." [ooc: for the sake of your mods, please choose only one NPC to speak to for now! Should we feel confident with our tagload, we may open this up to more tags later, but don't worry! There will be more opportunities to speak with them in the future... Please be sure to read all of the new information provided to you! In addition, please keep in mind that this is not the week zero mingle! A new mingle will go up tomorrow to officially begin the game, so please do not use this post to toplevel regarding the new locations! You may, however, PC to your hearts' content ♥]

[swordflash]

[he was hiding under the bar counter.]

Kurusu!

[but surprise doesn't cross his face. his expression is skeptical as he jabs at akira's boarding pass.]

What's this, huh?

[survivaltricks]

[it's legit]

-- huh?

[glances at his own boarding pass like ???]

What about it?

[swordflash]

That.

[he jabs more vehemently this time.]

How many people have you kissed, huh?

[survivaltricks]

[oh my god]

That's-- not that many! What does it matter? I'm happily taken.

[swordflash]

It matters! Did you kiss anyone while you were taken? Answer me!

[survivaltricks]

I didn't kiss anyone while I was taken!

[WHY IS ZENITSU INTERROGATING HIM ABOUT THIS]

This was all before I was taken!

[swordflash]

Then did you kiss someone who was taken? Huh? You have to respect the lips of other people!

[survivaltricks]

I didn't kiss anyone who was taken!

[scream. they're in public???]

It's nobody's business but my own!

[swordflash]

[at that, zenitsu finally backs off.]

All right. At least you've got that!

[survivaltricks]

[Akira is freed]

I can't believe this many people are judging me. . .

[swordflash]

[if it helps, it wasn't personal—not that he'll say.

he turns his attention back to the boarding passes.]

There's a lot us from the house, isn't there?

[survivaltricks]

Oh--

[also turning back to the boarding passes and nodding]

Eleven of us. I think we might be the largest group here.

[swordflash]

Do you think that's a good thing?

[survivaltricks]

[hm]

Well, I don't think it's a bad thing.

It's nice to have friends when you don't know what's going on, isn't it?

[swordflash]

[he gives the boarding passes the once-over before watching akira.]

Were you friends with everyone there?

[survivaltricks]

. . . well, not everyone.

But I wasn't enemies with anyone except maybe Akechi, kind of.

[swordflash]

[the mention of that name prompts zenitsu to look away, then up at the bulletin board.]

He's not here.

[survivaltricks]

[ah. right. Akechi shot him that one time. . . it was a tranquilizer so it was fine, right??]

He isn't.

[an exahle]

That's a good thing.

[swordflash]

[of all things, he didn't expect akira to say that.]

How come?

[survivaltricks]

Would you wish a second round of what we went through in the mansion on anyone?

[swordflash]

What do you mean, a second round?

[survivaltricks]

[. . . . . . . Zenitsu]

A second round of kidnapping. . .?

[swordflash]

[he blinks. what, it was that simple?]

What does that have to do with Akechi?

[survivaltricks]

. . . I don't want Akechi to have to live through being kidnapped twice?

[ZENITSU PLZ]

[swordflash]

[oh, that's right. those two were really close. it's almost envious, really (it is).]

I guess it's a good thing that it's just us.

[he expels a shaky breath that sounds like a small whine.]

Why didn't that bus just take us home?
