You know how the story goes by now. One minute youâre somewhere familiar, and the next youâre suddenly somewhere else. Unlike previous times before, the source of your rude awakening isnât a mystery. A harsh jostle causes your body to lunge forward as a tire jumps over a pot hole in the road. Try as you might, itâs hard to ignore the steady thrumming of an engine and the gentle sway beneath you. The faint scent of gasoline seems to waft from the outside, but as you look around youâll notice that the windows are locked, tinted, and impossible to see through. Likewise, the door ahead of you appears to be locked as well. Perhaps the scent is your imaginationâŚ? Regardless, though the lighting is a tad dim, it becomes apparent that youâre inside a large bus dotted with the occasional seat and amid a jumble of other bodies. The people you were last with may be among your fellow passengers. Perhaps they are not. But worry not; thereâs plenty of time to look around and get to know one another on this long, strange trip. It may even be wise to examine the staircase at the other end of the bus. Who knows what awaits you on the other floors? Ah, but before you move too far it may be best to assess the situation. On the bright side, any injuries you incurred have been healed! Isn't it nice to have your limbs in place again? Miracles happen. But...what happened to your clothes? Youâre fairly certain you weren't wearing this t-shirt before...and what's with the denim shorts? Maybe you were fortunate enough to get the knee-length version, but for those of you waking up in bootyshorts...well, we're sure you look great! And what better way to tie the whole look together than white socks and tan sandals? At least you'll be comfortable for the ride. Lucky for you, your new threads aren't the only gift you'll receive upon waking up. Attached to your waist is a high-quality bag filled with some fun goodies for every passenger! For those of you who unzip your bag to check its contents, you will find: -Dry shampoo No other items are on your person at this time, even if you were holding onto it as you began your previous departure. That's a bit troublesome, isn't it? Not really; it's still a bus. Be grateful for the extra elbow room, alright? Oh, and one last thing...on the wrist of every passenger is a small, equally fashionable white scrunchie. Not your style? Perhaps it's a good idea to give the travel guide another read. Searching the bus from top to bottom will net zero results in the way of an escape. All of the windows are similarly tinted and locked, and the only exit door appears to be the one on the first level that can't be opened at this time. But hey. You're all old pros at this, right? You know what to do next! Get to know the people around you, trade stories with your fellow passengers, and...well. Buckle up for the bumpy ride ahead. |

[She relaxes a little when he approaches. He's a comforting presence, even in situations like this. Still, she can't help but feel more than a little anxious about how this has turned out.]
I do not understand how we came to be here. [And the last time they ended up somewhere with no memory of getting there... well, they both know how that went.]
no subject
Neither do I. I remember boarding the ship with Chengzhu, and that's all. [ wow. he hates it, thanks! ] Have we all returned here, I wonder? [ is this the work of those strange gods?
where's tomioka, he thinks, not a second later.. ]
no subject
[Which is... also concerning, honestly.
She grips the hem of her t-shirt nervously as she scans the crowd for more familiar faces. Where is Giyuu? is on her mind, but before she can spot him, she sees far too many people she doesn't recognize.]
...many of these people were not... with us, before.
no subject
You had a bit more contact with the others than I did... did you see any of these people in the group that walked around when you all -- ah, returned?
no subject
...I do not believe so. They do not even appear to be passingly familiar.
no subject
he nods. this is suspiciously bad, as bad as it was before. ] It's best to be on guard until we know more about this place. I can't imagine it's very safe. [ as it was before. yin yu's gaze flicks back for a moment, though, and he softens a bit from the serious, concerned look on his face. ] ...I did not expect to be able to act on our promise so quickly.
[ ha ha... ]
no subject
[She'll stick near him - and Dimitri, once they find each other - until they figure out what's going on here.
When Yin Yu speaks again, though, she looks up at him, startled - and though she still looks concerned, she manages a small smile.]
I did not either, but I must admit that part of me is glad that I did not have to wait long to see you again. [...] Though I am not certain how effective any lesson on stealth will be in this environment...
no subject
You're right. There's not much stealth to be done like...this, either.
[ his clothes.... his mask... he's so sad. ] At any rate, I wonder if some form of 'direction' will be coming. [ like it had on the island. the idea makes him uneasy. ]
no subject
It must. Whatever is responsible for our being here... why would it go to the trouble of gathering us all without telling us what it expects of us?
