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. |

Escha! You know, is it alright to say that it's wonderful to see you here...? [Considering they don't know a damn thing about where they're going or what they're getting into but ALSO...
at least it's not demon island.
He'll also point toward some of the sugar syrups.]
Shall I make you a non-alcoholic drink to go with your water?
no subject
[ Wasn't he supposed to make it out? That's not fair... Ugh. Ugh, let's stay positive. She nods. ]
Sure. Do you think there's anything apple-flavored?
no subject
Mm, there are apple-flavored things! This syrup, or the juice here... Ah! I learned how to make something with cherry and lemon soda on the ship. I could try something like that with apple?
no subject
Sure, that sounds good.
You really like mixing drinks, huh?
no subject
It's more fun than I had expected, back when I started! Coming up with new flavors, seeing whether people like them or not - it's good to keep that sort of focus, you know?
[He'll whip her up her Shirley Temple But With Apple in just a few quick pours and shakes of the mixer, sliding the glass over once he's done.]
Give it a try. Honest opinion!
no subject
It's really good!
Stuff like this - it's so sweet, sweeter than what I'm used to from back home. But it's good!
no subject
I'm glad it suits! Though I know what you mean about the sweetness, hah. It really is impressively sweet - like biting into two honeycombs at the same time! I think that's why I like adding sour flavors or spice so much.
[Spice...]
no subject
Sour drinks sound kind of bad...!
no subject
[AT LEAST IT'S NOT PEPPERS.]
no subject
I don't want to go through too much right away. I've still got this drink, that's enough for me, for now. [ She means it, though. She does want to try it next time... ]
no subject
Next time it is! It'll give me enough time to come up with something even better. Hopefully it'll suit your palette fine!
no subject
no subject
You really are an easy customer to handle. If only everyone could be as generous as dear Escha!
no subject
[ she laughs. ]
Anyway, if you handle drinks, I'll cook for you any time. Like a trade.
no subject
[Better than a circle of TEARY GOODBYES.]
Ah, but that sounds wonderful! Taako's banned me from the kitchen already.
