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 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. |

[ he'll fight them but. eh. knives? nah. ]
no subject
... alright, you can stay.
[she's giving him permission to exist around her]
no subject
Thanks, I think.
[ they're all crammed in this lil' old bus so it'd be real awkward if she'd exiled him from her presence. ]
no subject
[SHE'S SO SERIOUS ABOUT IT but she'll at least make it to the kitchen to clean the knife before they use it for anything else? it cut them, fell to the floor.... probably not in a great state]
So which one did you say you were from? Mansion? Island?
no subject
Eldritch horror mansion, that's the one.
no subject
As morbid of a question as it might be - how many of you died? How long were you there?
no subject
... 15 people, I think? A couple of people should've died but we manged to get around it without actually offing them or their executions sticking.
And I think it was about seven weeks.
Sound familiar to stuff you went through?
no subject
[a beat]
Everyone but one person had to die. Including our hosts.
[so the last week was just a fucking bloodbath and in truth, she's only more upset talking about the last week because she had to watch some of her important people die]
no subject
Last man standing's pretty fucking extreme even for a nine week murder spree.
[ geez. they all got to punch housethulu at the end, at least that was cathartic. ]
... Do you recognise a lot of people here?
no subject
[anyway - ]
I do. Do you?
[presumably knife is clean now, so she'll wipe it off before glancing over to ash and tilting her head]
no subject
[ ... ]
On the bright side, anyone you don't see here probably made it home safe. There's that to take away from all this.
no subject
[she's not trying to be awful but - ]
Cowards and liars often take hostages. I don't want to discount the possibility until we know for sure they're safe.
no subject
And if the alternative is true, then I'm going to be really pissed off.
no subject
[UNFORTUNATELY
LILI IS PERFECTLY FINE WITH BAD MOODS AND ANGRY BOYS]
no subject
Especially if it fucks over whoever kidnapped us all again.
no subject
[she's not leaving until she beats someone up]

Pleasure doing planning with you.
no subject
I feel better already.
Alright, I'll be counting on you then. [ how can this well thought out plan go wrong at all ]
no subject
[why is this so amiable]
no subject
or maybe this is "fightship". ]
Hey, I'm a fan of getting even. Don't worry.
