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.

[oof. she's about to complain before she notices that it's tsuru and then:]

Isn't a crane supposed to be graceful on their feet?

[why is sHE SO MEAN TO HIM ALL THE TIME]
preowned: (affix your barb and bayonet)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
You tend to know me off my feet a lot.

[ that sounds like a pickup line but it's just what their relationship is ]
coastal: (✧ a visitor? for me?)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I'll take it as a compliment.

[it doesn't even register as a pickup line i hate this - but she'll actually move to stand then and unlike every other goddamn thread, she'll offer a hand to tsuru to help him up too]

Can you try to break open this door?
preowned: (and after the bombs subside)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow... lili can be good ]

I can try, but... I don't have my sword.

[ he frowns at that ]
coastal: (✧ the princess has arrived)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[oh.

she does too - ]


Try briefly, and then we'll look if you don't have any more luck than I did.

[she'll rearrange her priorities for two (2) people]
preowned: (we'll not go home again)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[ well, it's time to try to bust through this thing




it obviously does not work. ]
coastal: (✧ nevermind i got the juice)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[it does not -

and again, because tsuru managed to befriend lili before all this, she'll actually hold her hands out to help steady him when he's recoiled]


Annoying....

[to say the least - ]

Alright. Where have you looked already?
preowned: (pic#13261792)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I did a general sweep of the floors, so now I mostly just have to look more closely.

[ so he just checked to see how high does this bus go and then came back down ]
coastal: (✧ my neck is flossy)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
... I'll do a second glance after you.

[she

doesn't trust tsuru to be detail-oriented

it's clear on her face]
preowned: (til the war came)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha ha, thanks.

[ don't thank her ]

Are you missing anything as well?
coastal: (✧ go from the stoer to the booth)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean besides my clothes, family treasure, Shess' tablet, and magic?

[THERE'S

QUITE A BIT TO GO THROUGH HERE, TSURU]
preowned: (with a curse and a caterwaul)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
No, that sounds about right.

I'm missing Mikazuki's... ah, well. I wonder if it's somewhere on this thing that we can't access?
coastal: (✧ not cute at all really)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[she

pauses and swivels to turn back to him]


His cloak perhaps? That you deceived me with?

[shE FORGOT SHE WAS ANGRY AT HIM UNTIL NOW]
preowned: (till threadbare while she grew thin)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. You remembered.

[ it was still funny and he regrets nothing ]
coastal: (✧ nnnnnoooooo)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
You're terrible and I hate you.

[no she doesn't]

Ugh - I knew I was going to see you again, but I didn't think it'd be like this!
preowned: (the willows mark the wind)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
... well, I guess it's a good thing we didn't say goodbye then.

[ since they just ran into each other immediately again. ]
coastal: (✧ ain't tryna be cool like you)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
I told you we didn't need something dramatic and stupid.

[she

literally just said she had no idea this was going to happen]
preowned: (a foretold rumbling)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
But I enjoy being dramatic and stupid with you.

[ once again, it's their entire relationship because they're both morons ]
coastal: (✧ tsuntsuntsun)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
[SHE

CAN'T TELL IF SHE APPRECIATES THAT?? SHE LOOKS CONFUSED FOR A SECOND BEFORE SETTLING ON INDIGNANT]


Don't call me stupid - just for that, I'm not going to say anything nice to you all day!

[when does she ever say anything nice to him]
preowned: (pic#13258807)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so...?

[ he

is wondering the same goddamn thing ]
coastal: (✧ not cute at all really)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
It's so.

You can have your dramatic goodbye at a later date, when you've earned it!

[when will that be

she's going to fucking regret this in a week i hate it]
preowned: (and we all know for sure)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
What are the requirements for this?

[ he's interested ]
coastal: (✧ woooow you're cute huh)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[she stares him down]

Have you told Ookurikara....
preowned: (we'll not go home again)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ he looks away ]
coastal: (✧ indignant pout)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[she just

fucking smacks him on the shoulder that he just used to ram into the door]


Why not!!
