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. |

He blinks anyway, and cants his head to the side.]
Well, an island was involved, but we spent most of our time on a boat.
no subject
[breathes out]
Mmm. . . I heard bout that.
[wwx gets a sympathetic look, at least. mostly because Akira isn't really sure how else to respond]
Were you there with a girl who had pink hair?
no subject
YEAH THAT SURE IS HIS HELL THOUGH. Ah, stdemons. He just smiles in response to the look, and there's quiet gratitude for the sympathy in it.]
Escha? I was, yes. [One of the ones who'd been sacrificed to demons... RIP.] I can't say I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store for us here, but I'm at least grateful to see the faces I've recognized.
no subject
Yes. Escha. [he smiles a little, because. . . yeah. she seemed very sad] I can't say I'm looking forward to what's in store for us here either, but--
[a thoughtful noise]
Do you think there's a chance she could actually go home after this?
[instead of being stranded ON AN ISLAND]
no subject
If something like that could happen, it would certainly be beyond anything we'd come to expect or hope for, back there.
no subject
. . .
She didn't go into details about what happened to her, but--
[a breath]
This place might be just as awful as the places from which we came, but it might also be a second chance for people like her.
no subject
I'd like it if that were the case! After everything, they deserve the chance, even if they can't get a break.
[None of them can get a break, it seems... Out of the frying pan into the fire, huh?]
no subject
[please. please. . .]
. . . none of us should even be here.
no subject
No, we shouldn't be. But I guess that's what happens when you gather a bundle of people with horrendous luck in one place across time and space, hm?
[You just get this bus full of the least lucky of the least lucky.]
no subject
[Akira lets out a breathless laugh]
This isn't just E-rank luck.
It's even worse than that. Z-rank. ZZ-rank.
[a guy's gotta make jokes when a guy's gotta make joke]
