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. |

Aw, man. I was hoping you'd be heavier.
no subject
[SHE'S..... ASSUMING HE WANTED TO USE HER AS ANOTHER PROJECTILE
and then she's going to smack his arm]
Put me down.
no subject
[Considering it, without putting her down.]
Oh, wait. Are you saying you'll pay me to throw me, or are you saying if I throw you, you'll throw me ten times harder? Either way is fine with me. Wait, actually, yeah. Can you throw me really, really hard into that door?
no subject
hm]
I probably can't, but I'm sure I can find someone who can. There has to be someone with monstrous strength and some misguided willingness to obey here, right?
And once again, put me down.
[lili: don't use me as a projectile that's degrading
also lili: we'll use you as a projectile, sure]
no subject
Well, I'm pretty strong, and I'm willing to obey if it's for an important cause.
no subject
Define 'important cause'.
[what level of himbo is she working with here]
no subject
[Honestly, not too high on the dumb himbo scale, just extremely reckless.]
no subject
Hm...
About that - describe who you see inside to me.
[because on the one hand, sure she's down for destruction, but she wants to confirm something first]
no subject
[Yelling into the car - ]
Gimme back my body, asshole!
no subject
I don't know how to respond to that, so I'm not going to for now.
Anyway - you're not looking at some scrawny beanpole guy with fashionably messy hair and a soft tofu-like face?
[are you looking at a TWINK?]
no subject
[Does he look like a twink to you?]
I don't care that I found an extra, I want my original mint condition body back.
no subject
[AND AT SOME POINT SHE'S GOING TO FIND IT HARD TO IGNORE THEM]
Let me get this straight: you know someone who can steal bodies? An actual someone and not some nebulous concept of corruption or darkness? And you have a spare body that looked just like your old one lying around in case of emergency?
no subject
As for the body, I got a backup body when I died. After being a mannequin for a bit.
no subject
[just... strange. she seems to be listening to all of it, but she clearly doesn't seem to understand much.]
Well, I'll ask about that stuff later - we have to get out of here first. But it makes me think that whoever is driving is probably an illusion meant to fool all of us, because I see someone very different.
no subject
[It's fine - he doesn't require her to understand his shitpost of a canon. He's just impressed by the deduction.]
The door seems extremely locked, so it'll probably open from a puzzle or just randomly when we progress a little more.
no subject
If we're being transported somewhere without any of our belongings, I doubt it's anything good.
no subject
[Frowning a little.]
So, do you have any ideas other than breaking it down? I'm willing to keep trying that one, but I don't think it's gonna get us there.
no subject
