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.

[wh

what the fuck

she squints]


What part? The dining room? The juice? Some weird old man asking strange questions?
slobjection: (don't be a lawyeeeeerrr)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
All of the above. Anything?

[ he's just smiling placidly, thi is all fine ]
coastal: (✧ first thing girl did was a bop)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Last one kind of.

Any chance you've got a communication line open to the universe?
slobjection: (when it comes to)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Can't say that I do, no.

It'd probably be handy in this situation, though.
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
Depends on how much you'd actually be able to say. It's not much use if shadow hands cover your mouth every time you try to help.

[hm]

Now answer your own question for me - anything familiar?
slobjection: (decidin' what to do for a livin')

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
... Sounds troublesome. Was that your host?

[ it kind of reminds him of peach getting her mouth sewn, yikes. ]

Not too many specifics. But general kidnapping, yes.
coastal: (✧ well that's odd)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
One of them, yes. Who was yours?

[seems like they're just doing a big ol' info swap.]
slobjection: (to become an attorney)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Technically.. an orb. It's complicated.

[ get them infos out ]
coastal: (✧ gee thanks; just bought it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
We have time. Make it uncomplicated.

[she'll listen because she's fucking stuck here]
slobjection: (quickest way to ruin your life)

[personal profile] slobjection 2020-06-06 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
We were in a mansion that was a sentient being that wanted to feed on us. It swallowed another being that had a form that changed constantly -- the orb. The orb also had staff to tend to the mansion, that guided us through the trials.

[ that's the cliffnotes version. ]

How about you?
coastal: (✧ i see it; i like it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
We were in the supposed new core of the universe where portals opened up to different worlds each week and a corruption would take ahold of one of us, so we would have to kill all but one in order to win against the corruption. We had two guides who got corrupted and had to be killed at the end, too - but they sort of helped us until then.

[she's so picky]

One talked like an old man.

[so. phoenix.]
