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. |

[He's not pissed, he's fine! Taking the bottle, though, and having a swig.]
What's wrong? Carsick? Hate to see that.
no subject
[ she gestures at everything. ]
no subject
[It's fine, don't worry about it. He looks around, too.]
Yeah, it's gross. Not the worst party bus I've ever been on, but close.
no subject
I swear to every fucking god out there when I find what stole all of my portals I'm going to smother them with a pillow.
no subject
Yeah. I was on my way back to being alive, and I was pretty eager to get back there. But it's about the journey, not the destination, y'know? And for all you know, this is a journey to a great boss fight.
no subject
[ a beat. ] ... You were dead?
no subject
no subject
Did you get picked up out of your original world to do all that, or...
no subject
[Though now that she mentions it.]
Then again, all of the other times I've died, it wasn't like that.
no subject
Yeah? Why was it different?
no subject
[So he wouldn't necessarily have seen it, but then again. . . ]
But I didn't expect the afterlife to be anything like Shibuya was. First of all, it wasn't even set in a fantasy world, and I didn't see anyone I know there? And the rules were just - different than what we'd been told before.
I always thought it was a little fishy.
no subject
I don't know, dude. The rules for dying and coming back have been super sketchy since I ended up at the mansion, so I couldn't even tell you what's what.
no subject
[Sighing!]
I just really need to get back home!
