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. |

Anything that needs tending to, or is it just bruising? If it is, that's pretty fortunate, with the force that went into that!
no subject
It's just bruising—nothing to be worried about.
[ he thinks? it's fine regardless and, well. ]
She was angry.
[ obviously. ]
no subject
Hah, yes, anyone with working vision could see that! Leftover resentment from wherever you last were, I take it?
[Or they're just on board a bus with a lady who has some serious anger issues and doesn't care who she unleashes them on EITHER WAY.]
no subject
also he'll nod his head once and let shinobu speak for herself about any other finer details. whether she wants to come clean as the butterfly hulk is entirely up to her. ]
Yes. You could say that.
no subject
He just nods at that, though, humming a little. Hm... Well he ain't about to get into the middle of some pre-bus spat so MOVING RIGHT ALONG.]
Where was it the two of you came from, then? The island, the mansion, something else?
[Why are there so many people suffering in so many pockets of reality.]
no subject
An island; I believe there are a number of us here.
[ which he dislikes a lot but isn't showing it. he's more than grateful for the people he isn't seeing in all honesty. ]
...and you? Where did you come from?
no subject
He hums a little though, and nods.]
That makes - five? Maybe six of you that have come from that place. I'm from the boat, though. The one with the demons.
no subject
good thing he doesn't have time to dwell on that because The Word has been said. ]
Demons?
[ #triggered???? ]
no subject
Mm, yes. As far as I can tell, different things caused people to kill for different reasons everywhere they went. There were different reasons for people to end up in their respective situations in the first place, too. For us, it was demons.
[It was just all demons.]
no subject
Were you not able to slay the demons?
[ LIKE IF YOU'RE MESSIN WITH DEMONS THAT'S WHAT YOU DO???? all slicey dicey with the neck??? compared to what the island dished out that seems way more straight forward. he's confused. ]
no subject
Haha, though. HAHA!! If only they got to deal with a boat full of kny-style demons instead of intangible blobs with teeth and extremely high sex drives.]
We killed the ones that we caught, but they outnumbered us - multiple global populations to forty, in essence. They could possess people and turn others into their own, on top of that.
no subject
also boy i hope he keeps the fact that they were horny demons all to himself because that's the last thing that giyuu needs to think about. murder...but you're horny and there are demons. blob demons. actual nightmare, thanks.
actually what he has said already is enough for giyuu to make a face. ]
But ultimately, you found a way to rid yourselves of them and win.
[ right?? he got a good ending so maybe others did too? ]
no subject
Anyway, if only life were that kind. He's wilding out over multiple confirmations that every other group he's talked to so far has made it out good end style!! What the heck. Good thing he's not a bitter person or this would be an even worse situation, but he just feels grateful that others didn't get stuck in the same terrible demon hell.
He shakes his head.]
We were forced to leave our dead behind - which was the majority of us. [Thanks he hates it.] It's certainly not any of the survivor's intentions to leave things as-is, but! Well.
[GESTURES AROUND THEM.]
no subject
ish? ]
Perhaps what happens here can set those who were left behind free as well.
[ because let's be real, nearly all of them earned a golden ending but for those who didn't—it's something to think about, isn't it? giyuu isn't a bad person. the idea of dead being left behind while the survivors moved on... that was almost too close. ]
