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.

ASCH OVERFLOW CATCHALL....... [new tagins fine too!!!!!]

[getdrekt]

asch.exe has stopped working

[you ever yeet yourself out of a place in the most dramatic way possible after making several extremely questionable decisions then end up on the floor of a bus dressed like you're trying to compensate for something with a bunch of other people, some of whom you know, all just bumping into you and hollering and yelling and it's generally chaos and you were supposed to be dead and frankly that's what you'd prefer at the moment?

anyway

asch is just. frozen. staring straight ahead into the middle nothing.



he's not moving.

wow he might really be in shock.

maybe you could talk him through it...? actually it's kind of funny. maybe you could balance stuff on his head. it's all up to you..........]

TSUWU

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

It's not beyond mine, but it is pointless.

Why is it so small. Absolute idiocy.

[preowned]

Possibly to get on our nerves, I suppose.

Everyone is already going to be on edge, and the tight quarters will make it worse.

[getdrekt]

Agreed.

This is going to end in death—and quicker than usual.

[...]

What day is it here? Has anyone checked?

STEPHY

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

Hah. And what if everyone's "game plans" involve killing everyone as quickly as possible?

[vigilantics]

And why the hell would that be the case? It sounds like everyone went through experiences that had specific requirements, and doing something incorrectly would just screw you over.

[getdrekt]

From the sounds of it, some groups had a "kill everyone and win" policy.

GIYUU

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

I ran into an idiot.

[it's not untrue.

he turns to Giyuu, expression neutral.]

And you?

[baori]

[ giyuu has doubts about who is the idiot in the exchange judging from how he's acting but it's fine. he doesn't know who the offending party is. they could both be idiots for all he knows.

he's as frank as ever: ]

Someone was angry with me.

[getdrekt]

Hmm.

[well, don't ask don't tell.]

If this keeps up, we should have this place destroyed in a day or so.

[is it a joke????? it's hard to tell. it might be.]

AKIRA

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

Tch.

Any proof to back up your claim?

[survivaltricks]

. . . you really think Blue, Peach, Plum and Pumpkin would go through all of that trouble to help us kill the house only to send us into another situation that's probably extremely similar to the one we were just in?

[TRUST, ASCH!!!!]

[getdrekt]

[he is currently shooting Akira a look that says he ABSOLUTELY thinks they would.]

DICK

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

It's fine!

[it's? fine? he tries to wave dick off, holding a hand over his nose. the hand does nothing. blood is just yeeting past his fingers.]

[unpredicktable]

Dude, you're bleeding. [ a bit. incredulously ] I'm not planning to hit you again. I know first aid.

[getdrekt]

[he pulls his hand away from his face (blood covering his lips and chin now), and wipes the hand on his shirt (which is already caked in dried blood??????)]

It doesn't matter. It'll stop after a while anyway.

[the vitality and hardheadedness of a teenager......]

YASU

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

[he makes contact, but again, this is a narrowass space??? so he also probably. punches a wall or a cabinet or something. there's a hiss of pain, and a squint as he tries to see past... dry shampoo burn.]

You idiot! What did you spray in my eyes!?

[okitactless]

[THEY'RE DOING THEIR BEST.]

I don't know! I didn't know it would do that! [HE SHOULD PROBABLY TRY TO HELP but he's going to look at the bottle instead.] Ah, it says "dry shampoo"?

[Except that was definitely not dry stuff he sprayed in this dude's face? What]

[getdrekt]

Arrgh! It's burning!

Where's the sink!?

MINAKO

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

...Asch.

[that's it. and he's just back to sitting quietly.

ok well now he feels kinda awkward bc this girl is just sitting here next to him but it's fine it's whatever.........]

[muragas]

[ they're just vibin, okay? except Minako will take a break briefly to go get a bottle of water, and when she comes back, she leaves an extra one at Asch's side. ]

It'd suck to get dehydrated when there's no place to lie down.

[ is her explanation ]

ZENITSU

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

Me.

Get ahold of yourself.

[he is in absolutely no position to talk considering their last? series? of interactions???

but whatever?????????]

[swordflash]

You're alive!

[He jumps onto his feet, surprised by what he's seeing.]

After all that big talk, too.

EVAN

[getdrekt]

[from here!]

Hah.

I'll consider it.

[dark humor is best humor evan]

[selfinserting]

Um... Thank you? Please, um, please continue doing that.

[You know, not killing him. He kind of looks like he wants to sink into the earth (more than usual, anyways), but he's also a little bit scared to move away. It's... fine.]
