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.

[ there's the longest beat ]

Please tell me the cowboy hats were optional.
successives: (sommerfugl)

[personal profile] successives 2020-06-06 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I would have walked out and never returned if they were not optional, regardless of the consequences.
unpredicktable: (c'mon we're leaving everything behind)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
And no one could have blamed you. [ he shrugs and gestures to their mutual terrible t-shirt ] These are bad enough as it is.

Please don't remind me that I'm probably going to have to wear this for a couple of days at minimum.
unpredicktable: (le coeur de tes secrets)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry. If I have to think about it, so does everyone else.

[ but he's saying it with a grin because he's terrible ]
successives: (turkish march)

[She gives an incredibly overdramatic groan.]

Forget all the important logistics of why we're here, the first thing I'm asking when they show up is where our other clothes went.
unpredicktable: (that surrounds you)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
No, I agree. The location of my pants is of utmost priority to me. I'm not even sure these shorts have pockets.

[ he sounds serious but is he ]
successives: (1812 overture)

[personal profile] successives 2020-06-06 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
You get used to having little or no pocket space after a while. Ask literally any girl here.
unpredicktable: (avec du temps on sera plus fort.)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, believe me, I've heard about it before. [ there is not a single girl he knows who would not have complained about pockets in their superhero life at least once. ] And while I'm all for equality, I think the answer should be everyone gets pockets instead of the other way around.
