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.

Right. Sooner than later, hopefully.

[ party bus is a terrible place. ]

Leaving conditions seem to differ between groups so far, so we've got our work cut out for us on that front.
unfriendliest: (judging)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever happened before might not apply this time around.

[ battles are always changing, and no two are ever the same, no matter the amount of planning and logistics you put into it. ]

Whoever's directing this thing [ the bus ] must have some answers.
unpredicktable: (i try but i can't see where you see)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Most groups had some kind of person directing them, so we'll see if someone shows up or if we'll be going by overhead announcements from our mysterious bus driver.
unfriendliest: (suffering but it's fine)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
There has to at least be some indication of where they're taking us on this thing.

[ not

that kara would know

what's a bus ]
unpredicktable: (i can take care of myself)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Windows are tinted, no one remembers anything that would lead us to wind up here, and there's no hint of an end destination on anything in the bus. If there's a hint, it might be with the driver.

[ until kara outright says he doesn't know what's a bus. dick will assume. he does. ]
unfriendliest: (@ god why)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ and because magnus's explanation wasn't that great: ]

What, exactly, is a bus?
unpredicktable: (i am not a child now)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ ah, one of those. ]

A vehicle made to carry a larger amount of passengers at once. Most... usually have more seats than this.

[ four. ]
unfriendliest: (trademark ookurikara face)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
So... like a big carriage? Or a ship?
unpredicktable: (i try and try to understand)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Big carriage, yeah. It's a land vehicle, though they can be the size of a ship.
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-06 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ man, the future-past is wild. ]

It can't go forever, right? It has to stop somewhere.
unpredicktable: (moi j'aurais voulu en continu)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming it's not just going in circles... yes.
