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. |

[And. Well.
Flayn tries to catch Lili when she's forced back from the window - but unfortunately, it's difficult to keep your footing when someone slams into you with such force. Down they both go!]
...ah... [She sounds winded.] ...are you hurt, Miss?
no subject
for once, lili actually looks like she feels a little bad, sitting up then and checking on flayn - ]
Hey! Are you stupid? You need to be more careful about where you're going!
[she's probably not hurt,,]
You're even smaller than I am so don't just walk around this thing without a care in the world!
no subject
[Flayn stares at her for a few long moments. Yep, she's just fine.]
It was not without a care in the world. I was worried that you might be injured in the fall.
no subject
[hm??]
Or else you could've gotten hurt too.
no subject
[ :) ]
...so it is fine, is it not?
no subject
she pauses at that before frowning. no, it's more of a pout, but she thinks she's frowning.]
... No. It's not.
[why]</small. Anyway, get up if you can. There's nothing of use in this area.
no subject
[But she gets up, dusting off her ugly t-shirt and denim shorts. It's fine. This is fine.]
Shall we move on to the next area, then? I must admit, I would like to get some fresh air.
no subject
[but she'll agree with that easily enough, similarly dusting herself off and tossing her hair over her shoulder even though it's tied back. habit.
she's also going to ignore flayn's question because she doesn't have an actual answer, lili is so fucking stupid]
no subject
Fresh air is better enjoyed with good company, so I would like to bring as many of you with me if I am able to find it.
[Big if, though.
Anyway, onward they go! She eyes the next window.]
It does not appear to be any different than the others, but...
[She's gearing up to try and charge at it anyway.]
no subject
grabbing at her arm. it's actually a decently strong grip after training for eight weeks - ]
No.
[HYPOCRITE]
Get someone bigger and heavier than you to do it. There's plenty of men here, they might as well make themselves useful.
no subject
I am much sturdier than I look! I did not become a student of the Officers Academy for nothing, you know.
no subject
[SHE'S SUCH A HYPOCRITE]
That, or we run at it together at the same time. But just the force of you alone isn't going to do anything if I got repelled.
no subject
[She is stubborn, unfortunately. Here they go.]
On the count of three, shall we?
no subject
Mm.
[and lili will count, because she's just the type of person to immediately charge]
One... Two... Three!
[OFF THEY GO]
no subject
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]
