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. |

Mm, that I am! You come from a world familiar with cultivators, but one without fierce corpses?
[A curious thing to think of, honestly. Fierce corpses were still a thing even before he invented necromancy, after all.]
no subject
Mnm. [ a nod of his head. ] Have you heard of calamity level ghosts? Wrath level?
[ so... probably from the same place as wen ning, then. ]
no subject
Nope, nothing like that! Though there are levels to the fierceness of the things you're dealing with, I'd imagine it's entirely different - or at least different enough, between where you and I come from. Hah, how strange.
no subject
he doesn't quite give him a full smile, but his mouth twitches up a little, in understanding. ] Indeed.
[ he's not the chattiest guy in the world im sorry ]
no subject
But fortunately(???) Wei Wuxian is chatty enough to make up for anyone else who isn't! Terrible.]
So! What was the place you were in before this one like, then? Boat, island, carnivorous house, something else?
no subject
An island. [ hmm. yeah, that all checks out, doesn't it? a boat, an island... ] ... A carnivorous house? [ i'm sorry ]
no subject
Also look he just raises his hands at that.]
You'd have to speak with someone who was involved with that to get a better picture of what happened, I think! But it does sound like it was something unusual, even as far as these unusual circumstances go.
[The only similarity he drew is that they're like, the only other group here so far that's actually been possessed and not just a renegade outlaw murderer.]
no subject
'Unusual circumstances', as in the kidnapping to a strange location? The first time, I thought I had just been sent out for a job. This...
[ considering he was just with chengzhu, and based on the other experiences he's had, this is definitely not that. ]
