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.

[WELL, HE'S COMING OVER. Even if he's just giving Tsurumaru the most blankass stare in the world at that...]

—The what where you do what now, exactly?

[HM???]

[ i fucking hate this deeply

but he just nods his head, pointing at a game ]


The goal is to romance as many of them as you can on these things called routes.
givethemhell: (though i try and i try)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-06 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[not as much as i deeply hate it]

Romance as many fish as you can? What do you get out of it in the end? How do you go about romancing them in the first place, anyway?

[He is taking this so seriously.]
preowned: (with cinnamon now)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it was like...

[ hmmm ]

Sallymon was a shy fish, because she was from a small pond and recently moved to the coral reef. You had to make her comfortable in her new environment, by doing things like gifting her an algae scarf, and saying her gills were more beautiful than even the most fashionable guppy.
givethemhell: (and when i have my childhood back)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-06 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[every day i hate you a little more actually]

I-- well, I can't say I see, because I'm not sure that I do! Are you a fish, by any chance?
preowned: (with a curse and a caterwaul)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha, what?

[ don't be stupid ]

I'm a sword.
givethemhell: (i've been burying my whole life)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-06 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is sword more realistic than fish TSURUMARU.]

Oh! [He takes this quite well.] Can't say I've ever met a sword with a human body before.

It's normally a secret, but...

[ he

gestures

what's the fuckin point. ]
givethemhell: (boredom)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-06 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[That's a fair mood too, honestly. He laughs, waving a hand.]

It's surely a well-kept secret, then! If you weren't talking about dating fish, I'd have probably taken you for an entirely normal human being.
preowned: (with a curse and a caterwaul)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. That part is a human invention.
givethemhell: (through those woods)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-06 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
So it's the humans who want to date the fish?

[is

is he interpreting this statement correctly]
preowned: (in a closed room)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 12:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. It turns out they are rather deviant.

[ tsuru is here to do one thing and it's to kinkshame humans ]
