You know how the story goes by now. One minute youâre somewhere familiar, and the next youâre suddenly somewhere else. Unlike previous times before, the source of your rude awakening isnât 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, itâs 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 youâll 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 imaginationâŚ? Regardless, though the lighting is a tad dim, it becomes apparent that youâre 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; thereâs 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? Youâre 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. |

If it seems like it will be useful, I'll go into more detail. But I think right now it's not going to help us to get into that part too much.
no subject
Yeah. Let's try to focus on other things for now, then.
[ah. like-- he introduces himself belatedly, slightly sheepish as he rubs the back of his neck]
My name is Akira.
no subject
I'm Escha. It's nice to meet you.
no subject
[he defaulted to honorifics back at the mansion, but it wasn't long before he got tired of keeping up with them and just dropped them all. let's get the unnecessarily formalities out of the way first this time around]
no subject
[ Me, aggressively avoiding honorifics. Localization didn't use them so I DON'T HAVE TO USE THEM!!! ]
no subject
[another smile!! BOO HONORIFICS!!]
no subject
So... Where were you?
no subject
[said in the DEADEST OF DEADPANS HE CAN MANAGE]
no subject
So a ship and a mansion...
I really hope we get somewhere a little more spacious, soon.
[ that's where her mind is at. ]
no subject
Thaaaat makes two of us. This bus isn't really big enough to accommodate forty people.
no subject
[ Imagining murders in such a small space. Imagining investigations with 40 people trying to shuffle around each other and not ruin evidence. Dead bodies with nowhere to go but BUS. The chaos of trials, but BUS.
THERE HAS TO BE MORE THAN BUS. ]
no subject
I plan on doing whatever is within my power to stop that from happening. I promise.
[not that. . . he was able to stop it last time. but, you know. he can't just give up. he can't just allow himself to wallow in helplessness]
[he has to try]
no subject
Me too. We're all more experienced this time around, so... It'll definitely go better!
[ She's not sure she completely believes that, but. it's fine. ]
no subject
Yeah. It definitely will.
[so when it doesn't, what're you gonna do, Akira???]
no subject
But please let me know if there's anything you need. And... Please let me know if you find something out.
no subject
[he answers without hesitation, his response sincere]
And you do the same, okay? If I'm stuck here along with everyone else, I want to do my very best to help however I can.
