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.

[ hello robo man...

giyuu is going to approach him slowly. he's not really going to be mean to him but this is awkward??? kind of??? he threatened his "life" on multiple occasions but uh. hm. well, he remembers how uselessly mobile the robot is so.
]

Will you be able to move between levels?
machinetranslation: (i beg your pardon?)

bully!

[Threepio starts a bit at Giyuu's quiet approach, but when he turns to him his voice is as pleasant and delighted as ever.]

Oh, Master Giyuu! It's good to see a familiar face here. Quite cramped for a transport, but I suppose we were picked up in a rather remote area.

[He looks at the ladder]

If needed, I am capable of using ladders such as these and have done so during power outages and the like. It's not an activity I particularly enjoy, I should say. You may have noticed that I'm not exactly built for physical activity.

[ the cheerful robot is awful at making him feel good about himself, hilariously. ]

I haven't forgotten.

[ it's why he asked honestly. and hm...sure the robo has never given any reason to do anything but like giyuu (terrible, honestly), he'll have shame for the both of them. still, this doesn't mean he doesn't have to do anything for in response to everything that has happened. ]

If you need help...

[ and that's about as far as giyuu will get with that because he can't finish the rest. it feels so wrong. ]
machinetranslation: (surprise)

Oh! Well, I suppose...

[He looks up the ladder and hears the bustle of activity up there. Maybe it's where all the others that came to pick them up on the island are.]

No, that's quite alright, Master Giyuu. No need to trouble yourself on my behalf.

[He begins an attempt at climbing, but it's an excruciatingly unnatural process of: lift leg, lift arm, put leg on step, put arm on step, etc...and he does not look steady. Were the bus to suddenly move, he was almost certainly fall off.]

[ giyuu will watch robo man attempt to do the thing and the results go as well as anyone could expect. is he even moving or just looking like a fish caught in a net at this point? well, it's fine. giyuu can only watch for so long before he picks up cp0 by the waist and lifts him up, pushing him through to the other deck.

...or mostly through. it'll be a two step process.
]

If you can't do something on your own, it isn't shameful to ask for help.

[ says this man. ]
