PASSENGERS: 41


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
-Wet wipes
-Deodorant
-Travel pack of toilet paper
-Travel toothbrush + toothpaste
-Poncho
-A stylish travel guide

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.

[ thank god i don't have to be the brain cell ]

[ phoenix has mostly been listening to everyone share their deets but eventually he adds to the conversation. ]


Seems the theme's the same for all of us, though the settings were different.

[ die ]

Too bad the theme seems to be "people killing each other". Settings and reasons differ, but I think we might expect the same thing to happen here.

[ he looks THRILLEd about this ]
slobjection: (DONT B A LAWYER)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ yea i'll die before you too ]

Probably.

[ phoenix seems chill ]

By the way, did I hear something about demons?
unpredicktable: (i can take care of myself)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Demon kidnapping and demon possession both. [ what sex part. there was no sex part ] Something similar happen to you?

Coward. Can't just leave vital information out like that.
unpredicktable: (moi j'aurais voulu en continu)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't consider it vital.
unpredicktable: (right now it's time to get away)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ dry; ]

They were sex demons.

[ so, y'know. ]

(Yikes. And I thought I had it bad.)

How does that work?
unpredicktable: (& trust and pixie dust so i'll try)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
From experience? Horribly. [ jokes aside; ] They'd kill us if we didn't have sex during the week, and even with that, at least one person would be possessed by them every week and kill someone.
slobjection: (the job is inherently crappy)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like you got screwed pretty hard.

[ ...... ]

No pun intended.
unpredicktable: (moi j'aurais voulu en continu)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Wow.

[ he needs a moment for that accidental pun. anyway; ]

It was bad, but I never got possessed or killed. I'd say I wound up lucky.
slobjection: (pretty smart kid)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ he meant more the collective 'you' but sure ]

... Sounds like it didn't end too well for some of your group.
unpredicktable: (& trust and pixie dust so i'll try)

[ his Trauma ]

Not really. Good news is, that doesn't seem to have been a problem for everyone else.
slobjection: (quickest way to ruin your life)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ it's fine. ]

Our group's dead didn't stay dead. Maybe there's hope for the rest of yours.
unpredicktable: (i try and try to understand)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
That's actually been a common trend so far. Potential revival at the end of things. Kind of glad to be an outlier in this case.
slobjection: (is runnin' up fees)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Something along those lines. Sentient house-like creature possessing people and turning them into monsters.

So what's this vital information you're leaving out?
