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.

[COIN FLIP HAS SPARED YIN YU which means that Yasusada's finger does not, in fact, slip and spray him in the face instead!! He looks startled by the sudden intervention, but he lets Yin Yu turn the bottle, blinking curiously.]

What is it?
shixiong: so i've got nothing to share (8)

[ it's fine he would've been able to dodge it somehow with Freaky Martial Skillz or something. for now we will just save him from being red eyed, I guess.

phew. he steps out of the way, feeling relieved. ]
It's... some sort of an air spray. You can press it now-- the opening is facing the other direction.

[ there go check it out now that your eyes aren't in danger. ]
okitactless: (gettin ideas)

[Well, considering Yasusada just dumped everything else on the floor, I guess he's going to. Push down and hold it down... and coat all his things in dry shampoo.

RIP travel guide]
shixiong: on the outside always looking in (14.)

[ his fussy nature means he's going to go in and try to stop him. ]

Ah -- too much, too much, don't waste it!

[ yeah he's officially in full fuss mode. ]
okitactless: (sweater weather)

[Well, he'll stop, but he just looks kind of confused...]

Why not?
shixiong: i'm waving through a window (17)

It might be something useful, and the last time I encountered something like this, it made things particularly sticky after use.

[ he probably has one of these too, huh. reaching into his own little pack, he pulls out the little aerosol and reads the can that i hope is in a language he can read. ] ...'Dry shampoo'.

[ there you have it. ]
okitactless: (?)

[personal profile] okitactless 2020-06-06 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Shampoo. [HE KNOWS WHAT THAT IS, thank goodness for all...] Eh, but, isn't this wet?
