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.

[it was still louder than expected!!!



but wow, guy seems to be having a tough time. flayn reaches out to try and steady him as he pingpongs around.]


Are you all right..?
menially: (WOW NO COOTIES)

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He immediately bristles like a startled cat, inhaling sharply and pulling his arm away. Thankfully there is not a 3rd girl immediately behind him.]

IIIIIiiiiiii-- I-I'm fine, just, p-please don't do that-- [His voice cracks as he raises his hands, a feeble attempt to keep some distance.]

[There should have been one, it would have been funny.

Anyway, Flayn raises her hands in what she hopes is as nonthreatening a manner as possible as Guy backs off. You... you okay there, buddy?]


Are you sure? The way you are talking... it seems as though you may be hurt.
menially: (to be proud ★)

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not, I swear...! [He laughs, light and only a bit unsteady.] You've got my word. All that's bruised is my pride.

[His eyes soften a bit, a hand lifting to rub at the nape of neck out of habit.] Don't worry about it, alright? It's just a reaction I have sometimes.

You're the one I should be asking all of this, anyway -- I didn't harm you, did I?

[personal profile] muragas 2020-06-06 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Look out-!

[ wow it's terrible there's no space in this bus, because Guy immediately careens into hazard number two. ]
menially: (please dear god why)

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[THIS IS THE ACTUAL WORST WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE THIS MANY OF THEM IN ONE SPACE IT'S A NIGHTMARE

anyway: shrieks x2 with his arms flung up in front of him]


I-I-I'm sorry, I'm sorry---!!!
muragas: whisperinghope (i find that)

[personal profile] muragas 2020-06-06 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ uh, wow, that seemed a bit... dramatic? ]

... Are you okay...?
menially: (nooo my wrench emote)

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I.... I-I'm fine, just-- a little distance, p-please...

[Said weakly if not frantically, as though he knows very well that's easier said than done in this sardine can of a vehicle.]

L-look, I... I wasn't the one who just got stepped on. I should be asking you that. I didn't hurt you, did I?

[ It’s a bird! It’s a plane!

No!

It’s Yu Narukami, appearing from nowhere like he fucking apparated! For all the world he really seems like he’s just coming over to check on things, but somehow in so doing he puts himself between Guy and the girls. This incidentally introduces some distance. ]


Everything alright? I heard shouting.
menially: because spiders (you can go and find a lover baby ϟ)

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
S-still figuring that out, honestly. [croaked out. girls :( but having a barrier helps, just like old times. His tension starts to unravel the second Yu steps between him and Minako, some of the color coming back to his face.]

I'm fine, I'm fine, I promise. I'm just not sure about the girls.

[ from wherever she landed and started this whole thing: ]

I'm fine, don't worry about it.

[ she's probably propped herself up to watch but not really picked herself up yet, honestly.

hm. that was a reaction. ]
covenantal: (123.)

[personal profile] covenantal 2020-06-06 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yu sucks a breath through his teeth in sympathy, watching her. ]

Are you alright? Do you need help up?

[ notably, though, he doesn't move from where he is just yet. ]
menially: (didn't know time was of the essence ★)

gonna separate these so we dont have a clusterfuck to figure out for captcha

[personal profile] menially 2020-06-06 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh good, she's responsive. He looks relieved from his limited view past three other people, letting out a short, deflated breath.]

Good, good. As long as you're sure, then I'm glad. With how hard you flew back, I was concerned you might have really hurt yourself.

What kind of force were you even using to bounce off the door that hard? [Does she have rockets in her boots what the hellio]
