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.

[He does get pats, he can have all the dang pats he wants.]

Mm, though the range of motivations and tactics used to get people to kill has certainly been much more varied than I would have expected.

[Maybe he'll get to be the one to tell Tonbo they don't have to thot to survive.]

[ at least that's worth the journey itself. he blinks though, turning his head sideways to glance at wwx over that observation ]

Oh.....? Were the others different than ours?

[ give him the gossip ]

[Is it, though. Is it really.]

Mmhm! There have been a lot of differences. Lots of similarities too, of course - in the worst of ways. But demons weren't even involved in anyone else's! Can you believe that?

[After all that talk of being The Most Powerful THERE'S JUST A WHOLE MULTIVERSE OF EQUALLY POWERFUL ASSHOLES OUT THERE.]

[ world dark and cold, pats soft and warm ]

No demons?

[ he honestly sounds a little surprised- and maybe a little baffled. ]

Were they just fighting among themselves then?
givethemhell: (meet great change)

[Oh, Tonbokiri...]

In some cases, it sounds like there wasn't any sort of possession, yes.

[People always find reasons to fight amongst themselves though, so he's not super surprised. AH, HUMANS. Exhausting. He loves them, it's very unfortunate.]

There were others who ended up with different types of possession, though.

[ honestly, he's not too surprised given humanity. he's just disappointed. ]

How strange. So many places with situations almost similar to ours and yet so different as well.

[ it seems as though no one else had (sex) demons :\ ]

[Humans... Love 'em or hate 'em. Or love 'em and hate 'em.]

It's interesting to see. By my count, there are at least three other places represented here... Those who came from an island, ones who came from a castle and ones who came from a carnivorous house.
