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. |

BAM!
they hit the window and bounce back, because of course they do.]
no subject
course they do
and lili is just going to make an aggravated noise as she sits up again]
Dammit...!!
—Are you alright?
no subject
...I am alright. I am ready to try the next window, if you are.
no subject
... No, I don't think so.
no subject
...eh? You do not wish to try again?
no subject
Like I said, there's plenty of men here who can take the beating instead. They can probably apply more force than the two of us regardless.
There's be no point in finding escape if we're too roughed up to run when we see it.
no subject
[She takes a moment to look her over, then nods to herself.]
And any man would have a difficult time turning down two beauties like us, so we are sure to be able to find someone to do it.
[SHE SAYS THIS SO CONFIDENTLY.]
no subject
[she
also says that so confidently, i hate this]
I can also just ask two I know... if I can find them.
[ookurikara is probably fucking refusing to interact with everyone and tsuru is most likely dating fish?]
no subject
[dimitri, yin yu, where you at. (she knows ogata and giyuu, too, but they're hardly likely to do her many favors. and also, c-3po is a robot.)]
I do not see them nearby, however.
[1/2]
no subject
fuck]
... and what's your name?
[she's realizing belatedly they've run into a wall together but haven't introduced themselves]
no subject
[She smiles - and then, whoops! That's right, they haven't exchanged names yet either.]
My name is Flayn... and you are?
no subject
[but she's going to nod - ]
Was Yin Yu difficult about giving you his name upon first meeting too? Is he just like that?
no subject
[They've exchanged names, so they're friends now! Lili will never be rid of her.]
He is a bit shy...
[That's. Not quite it, but it's the politest way she can think of to describe it, and she doesn't want to speak poorly of him, so.]
I learned his name somewhat easily, but... I did throw something at him shortly before we made our acquaintance, so he may have been startled into giving it to me. He really is quite kind, however.
no subject
[shE'S NOT AS POLITE AS FLAYN, UNFORTUNATELY - though at least she doesn't sound horribly judgmental. it's more like a casual, incredibly blunt observation.]
Oh, should we try throwing things at the walls?
no subject
[flayn will fistfight anyone who says he isn't
anyway.]
I do not know if that would be a good idea. Someone else threw his bag at a window, earlier, and it bounced back and hit me in the face after he dodged it.
[thanks ash,,,]
no subject
[not that she's speaking from experience or anything
that said]
Who was it? I'll hit them for you.
no subject
[suuuure she isn't speaking from experience!
...also, whoops.]
—oh, there is no need for that! It did not even leave a mark... and I am certain it was an accident.
no subject
[she
knows herself very well (she thinks)]
Mm... If you're sure it was an accident - but oafs like that need to be more careful.
[she met flayn when she literally slammed into her]
no subject
[Flayn's definitely picking up on Lili's blunt honesty already. (You'd have to be pretty oblivious not to.)]
...I am sure that he will be more careful in the future.
[She, on the other hand, is going to get a dart stuck in her shoulder in one of her other threads, so maybe she should be more careful, too.]
no subject
[she's... so like this.]
Fine... but make sure you watch out more, too. You're going to keep getting bowled over by people at this rate.
no subject
[at least, that's what flayn thinks!]
...yes, I will do my best to be more careful! Do not worry about me, Lili.
no subject
[and
she really thinks it's just a fantasy]
... I wasn't worrying or anything...
[she
she totally was]
no subject
[because
it sure seemed like worrying to her.]
no subject
.... well - it's just a matter of everyone's wellbeing here! No one should be getting harmed before we even know anything about what's going on!
