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.

Mm, that's the plan. It's just a bit stubborn to bring it to reality.

[she's tried so hard to slam the windows open and has just. gotten so bruised.]

So either help or get out of the way.

Yes! Right away!

[Her mistake was giving him options. Zenitsu's breath hitches before he jumps onto his feet and dashes around Lili to stand hunched behind her. There, he's out of the way now.]

[ . . . ]

You're still in the way.

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-06-06 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'm not! I'm behind you!
coastal: (✧ dumbass)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather you be nowhere near me...?

[why is she so awful]

You really can't find someone else to cower around?
swordflash: (129)

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-06-06 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what you said earlier! You're the one who wasn't clear!
coastal: (✧ am i supposed to be impressed?)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Being near me makes you in my way.

[ugh she just looks exhausted]

Are you really so afraid already? Aren't you a man?
swordflash: (114)

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-06-06 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He withers at her expression. She's very cute, but so scary.]

What about it? Aren't I doing as you said? Anyone would be afraid when their death is just around the corner!
coastal: (✧ that's strange)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
If you want to live, then fight instead of cower. There are kind people here, and they'll probably want to save you - but you shouldn't take advantage of that.

[she's just speaking so matter of factly even though...

well. his words gave her a little bit of pause. they sound familiar.]
swordflash: (083)

[personal profile] swordflash 2020-06-06 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ugh, she's not wrong. He feels shame piercing his chest as he purses his lips.]

But if I fight, I'll just be a burden . . . I'm better off staying in the back.

[The bravery high he got from the Master Sword has long worn off by now. Adrenaline does things to a person.]
coastal: (✧ and not strings)
