You know how the story goes by now. One minute you’re somewhere familiar, and the next you’re suddenly somewhere else. Unlike previous times before, the source of your rude awakening isn’t 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, it’s 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 you’ll 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 imagination…? Regardless, though the lighting is a tad dim, it becomes apparent that you’re 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; there’s 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? You’re 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. |

and then hurriedly hands it back to Beau. She's making a face. Her nose is wrinkled. It takes her a moment, but then she commits to it and swallows.]
Oh, that is not what I was expecting at all...
no subject
You - yeah, it's vodka, babe. You gonna survive?
no subject
[
she would like some water to wash out her mouth, though. the aftertaste is bugging her. she makes another face.]
no subject
Try this. It's way less gross.
no subject
because flayn has never seen a can in her life.]
What is it called?
no subject
Soda? I think that's what it's called. Just try it, it's sweet.
no subject
and after some messing around with it, realizes that she can get her fingernail under the tab. okay, here goes! here's hoping she doesn't spray soda all over the two of them!!
rng is nice and says she doesn't, so once she gets it open she just brings it to her lips and takes a sip]
...oh! This is much nicer, thank you.
no subject
Yeah. It's weird and bubbles. They had it at the mansion I was just in. It goes really fucking well with whiskey.
no subject
[do NOT give her whiskey i beg you
actually no do it it'll be funny]
no subject
[ she grins. ] It'll taste better with the soda, though. Here, I'll make myself one and you can have a taste?
no subject
[how odd....... she's kind of looking forward to it now
at beau's suggestion, she nods]
That sounds like a much better idea. Thank you!
no subject
in any case, jack and coke, which beau tastes to make sure it's not terrible. it's not as boozy as she likes, but. that's probably better for flayn. she scoots the drink over to flayn. ]
What's your name, by the way?
no subject
[While she waits for her to answer, she picks up the drink and takes a sip!
hm. she can't decide if she likes it or not. she'll have to take another sip to figure it out...]
no subject
Beau. Flayn's a pretty name. [ she pulls herself up to sit on the bar again. ] Whatcha think?
no subject
She takes another sip of the whiskey and coke.] ...I like this! It is sweet, but not overly so. If you do not mind, I think I shall finish it.
no subject
Go for it. Be careful, though. It's gonna catch you off guard if you don't drink very much. You'll stand and the whole world's gonna flip on you.
no subject
[she eyes the drink with a sort of begrudging respect]
To think a simple drink could do something like that...
no subject
no subject
[...]
Professor Manuela would sometimes come home drunk, however.
no subject
Wait, are you like a monk or something?
no subject
[fire emblem is a lot. sorry beau.]
no subject
The - what? Officers Academy? Are you like a soldier or something?
no subject
[she's the cutest soldier, thank you very much]
...although it is likely I will never become a knight, the skills I am learning will certainly be of use in the event that I am ever to follow my brother into battle.
