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.

[ hm well wherever she goes he's following ]

I've already looked around, but I haven't found it anywhere.
coastal: (✧ quietly says rude shit)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Every floor? In every cabinet? There's no point in hiding something so precious in the walls where it's of no use to anyone...

[but she's already moving, looking up and underneath every surface she passes by. she's even slowing down, just to make sure she's not missing anything]
unfriendliest: (suffering but it's fine)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I've tried to be as thorough as possible, but maybe I missed something.

[ he's just casually going to start rifling through everything again. ]
coastal: (✧ a visitor? for me?)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
We'll both look this time.

[because there's nothing to do but to search, right?]

We won't part ways until we find it. I promise.

[because they'll need to part ways at some point again, they both know that - but she won't leave him until he's whole again]
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ he'd prefer if they didn't have to part at all but they're both independent swordkin who don't need no significant other

but for now they can search together. and after a bit of silence, he'll ask: ]


Your magic isn't working either, is it?
coastal: (✧ die immediately right now)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
If it was, I would've tried to freeze the window and then ram into it.

[something something shit's more fragile when cold]

No fire to break us out of here either, I take it?
unfriendliest: (@ god why)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ yea he thought so. ]

No. And no meteors, either. [ not that he'd have meteored the bus while they're all on it. probably. ] Whoever brought us here took everything.
coastal: (✧ you know a bitch buy four)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[a little meteor, as a treat]

Something tells me we're not dealing with one of your old comrades masquerading as a messenger of the universe anymore.

[MUCH WORSE]

They even took my clothes!
unfriendliest: (trademark ookurikara face)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
They took everyone's clothes. But finding my sword and a way out is more important than that.
coastal: (✧ my receipts be lookin' like phone numb)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I can still be annoyed. To undress someone without their permission is disgusting and wrong. I'm going to beat up whoever did this for plenty of reasons, but that's one of them.

[A LAUNDRY LIST OF REASONS SHE'S MAD]
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ sighs. ]

If we find them, I'll help.

[ sure would be nice to have his sword for that though ]
coastal: (✧ gee thanks; just bought it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, I know. [SHE EXPECTED IT] We're going to make them regret this.

[SHE'S SO MAD]

We had places to be....
unfriendliest: (why can't i uninstall emotions)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ nodding... ]

I still need to get back to Munemura
coastal: (✧ thinking about how to steal ur wallet)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . she pauses in her searching for a moment to just reach out and lay a hand on his forearm to get his attention

her voice is about 2% softer - kinder]


You will.

[her usual brand of absolute certainty is there though]
unfriendliest: (suffering but it's fine)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ he really appreciates lili but sometimes! you just want to finish your damn mission before carrying onto more murder! ]

Eventually. I'd rather do it before more people die.
coastal: (✧ and not strings)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Mm... You and me both - we can't leave this place if it's another twisted game, though.

[they'll have to right the wrongs that are in front of them, and then they can return to their mission]
unfriendliest: (judging)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
...I know.

[ crossing his arms sternly: ]

I don't want to see you die again, though.
coastal: (✧ tsuntsuntsun)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[sdlkjd she looks fussed - ]

Sh-Shut up. I can say the same thing to you.
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ he just. quietly raises an eyebrow. he was the last one to die last time, lili, and it was only for like one night!! ]

I don't plan to. As long as there's no conditions like last time, both of us are getting out of this alive.

[ he won't accept anything less. ]
coastal: (✧ the princess has arrived)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
[it still counts, she still hated it]

I know - I'm in no hurry to die. [it..... sucked, to say the least.] I don't want to let anyone here die either.

[because she's always thinking big picture for some reason]

We save as many people as we can.
