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.

At least pretend to feel sorry for me.

[ he knows it won't happen but he wants to complain ]
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sorry he isn't here. He made things more difficult for us, in the end.

[ and shit-talked masamune which is the more important thing that kara will never talk about with tsuru goodbye ]

He was corrupted, you know. He wasn't entirely himself.

[ he can't bring himself to say that it was flat out not him, because jiji is in fact a bitch who would overcomplicate things even when he's not corrupted. ]
unfriendliest: (judging)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Not entirely" still leaves enough of the real MIkazuki there.
preowned: (it was a cold night)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose so.

[ tsurumaru can wax a lot of poetry about mikazuki, but at the end of the day, he really can't deny that he can be fairly terrible. ]

It would still be nice to have someone we know is an ally, regardless of... what happened. You're going to have to meet new people.
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
You and Lili are more than enough for me.

[ tsuru is probably the more lbr. but hey, just because he had to talk to people before doesn't mean he liked it :/ ]
preowned: (with a curse and a caterwaul)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ sadly, that pleases him ]

We should double check to make sure there isn't anyone else here, and then we should regroup later.
unfriendliest: (trademark ookurikara face)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ dumb needy crane ]

I've only seen us and Yasusada. [ though tsuru said tonbokiri was here too? ] The top floor might be the quietest place, if only because it's higher up.
preowned: (there is blood in the thread)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that will do... we'll need them to tell us about where they came from, if this really is a trend.

[ thankfully dick ends up helping out there later ]
unfriendliest: (@ god why)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like it is... which means we can probably expect something similar here, too.
preowned: (come and see come and see)

How annoying...

[ he suddenly freezes ]

Where are the animals?
unfriendliest: (one fear)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
...Weren't they still in the village?

[ SUDDENLY KARA IS VERY WORRIED

THEIR CHICKENS ]
preowned: (come and see come and see)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think the village is alright?

[ he wasn't worried about this before

and now he is ]
unfriendliest: (why can't i uninstall emotions)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ well fuck now kara's worried ]

...It's probably fine.

[ kara will tell them both this, for their own peace of mind. it's not like they can do anything about it right now. ]
preowned: (sweet for our wedding)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
Right...

[ the fact that it seems like it's only the three of them so far is a concern, because what happened to everyone else? and the last person tsurumaru was with was mikazuki, so it's probably not a proximity thing, maybe. ]

In any case, we'll get to the bottom of it again.
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Sooner rather than later, I hope.

[ death on the battlefield is one thing but murder kind of sucks, you know? ]
preowned: (with cinnamon now)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
That was an annoyingly long time, wasn't it...

[ it wasn't in the sense that their lifespan is far longer than just a couple of weeks. when you are over a thousand than what's two months? and yet, that was still somehow a very. very long time. ]
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
No battle is meant to go on that long.

[ it'd be one thing if they were just hanging out there, but the murder made the situation a little different. especially when you start off the eight weeks by losing someone you're close to.

francy. ]
preowned: (and sorrow fills the silence all around)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-06 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ LOOKS AWAY ]

... mm.

I wonder if the others were at their locations for as long as we were? That might give us an idea.
