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.

I bet you're a riot at parties.



[ but his hand IS raised, so. ]

[unpredicktable]

[ well he doesn't look insulted so ]

I'd argue I'm decent enough. Unfortunately, this might be a party bus, but it's not exactly my kind of party. [ and, since this has been established as a pattern-- ] Murder part of your previous experience?

[voidbreaker]

If this is a party bus, it's a crap one.

[ he shrugs. ]

Personally, or generally?

[unpredicktable]

Yeah. Though if we're going to be fair, that's in the definition of party buses everywhere.

[ dick your opinion was not asked for. anyway: ]

Kidnapping wise. If we got into personal stories, we might be here a while.

[ going by. previous. experiences. haha murder ]

[voidbreaker]

The liquor gives it a solid plus five points though.

[ ha ha! murder. ]

Kidnapping wise? I've seen a few. Maybe executed a guy for a couple. Don't worry, he got better.

[unpredicktable]

Think that's the one rule about what has to be on a party bus. [ or a murdergame. but he. okay, that one gets him ] He... got better?

[ CANNOT RELATE ]

[voidbreaker]

He got better.

[ did he stutter? dick mcdickson? ]

[unpredicktable]

[ :| ]

How?

[voidbreaker]

I had something that let me summon something from home, one time deal. Made reviving the dead easier.

[unpredicktable]

[ OH YEAH JUST CASUAL TALK ABOUT REVIVING THE DEAD NBD?? ]

... We had executions, but I can't say reviving someone was ever really an option.

[ well. maybe if they didn't suck. rip in tonbo ]

[voidbreaker]

We got creative. And found a couple of things that let us fuck with the status quo.

[unpredicktable]

Then let's hope that creativity works here, because I can't say it did back on the ship I was on. [ rip fanfics. speaking of: ] Where were you taken?

[voidbreaker]

Depends on what's available and who's running the show. [ fanfics... don't remind me. ]

Big fancy mansion. Still dangerous, still lots of death. More legroom than this place.

[unpredicktable]

The legroom part seem to be constant. Maybe they figured we hadn't been cramped alongside other people long enough.

[voidbreaker]

I've dealt with small dorms, I've done my time.
