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.

round one

[ WHAT THE FUCK IS A BUS ]

WHAT THE FUCK. [ hollers beau at the top of her lungs, in her stupid shirt and booty shorts. she's on the floor. she throws a sandal across the room. get these socks OFF. ]

round two

[ okay, well. of course she's going to go right for the alcohol. catch beau sitting on the bar - yes, on the bar, legs folded under her - with a full bottle of vodka that she's just going to drink straight. she doesn't bother with a glass. ]

Want some? [ she offers it out to the closest person, with the flattest look on her face. she's so pissed. ]

magnus

[disreguarded]

[ from here. ]

The - Entity. [ is that like the oddity, she hopes not. ] Whatever, yeah - I mean, me too. So.

The last place I was in we beat, so we can do it again.

[ruffboi]

[Nodding.]

Yup. We beat ours too. They really don't make entities like they used to, huh?

flayn

[disreguarded]

[ from here. ]

[ she's way too cute be a soldier, excuse!! no, it just makes her think of someone at home, that's all. ]

I bet you had to fight with some people to let you even put a foot out on a battlefield.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, you are quite right.

[shakes fist at seteth, etc]

But I am more than capable of holding my own out there, I assure you!

natalie

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Bullshit how?

[successives]

[Beau might not know the person she's imitating, but Natalie makes a very sour face and deepens her voice.]

Hey, solve this murder without actually getting to look at any of the bodies, also I won't tell you anything remotely helpful, because that would mean you get a break for once. Also, the fact that people are dying is so funny and I'm going to laugh at how stupid I think you all are the entire time.

guy

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

I'm fresh out of shoes. [ she kicks her foot up to show him her gross bare feet. ] But uh - last thing I remember is we beat a huge mansion monster that was trying to eat us. I kicked out its tooth, and then we were gonna go home.

[menially]

[Beau please keep your body parts to yourself. He shudders despite himself, inching back a step.]

Oddly enough, not the first time I've heard about the man eating house today. [That thing gets around, damn.]

You're familiar with Akira, then? He described something similar. Something about people being turned into monsters, too...

ogata

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Then I'll fight them tipsy? What's the fucking problem?

[snyaiper]

[He huffs.]

None, I suppose, given the fact that your poor choices getting you killed can only serve to benefit me.

[A neat thing to say to someone whose name you don't even know.]

hikage

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

And what was the second one like? Were you on a boat?

[psychedelica]

What? No. It was a castle. A castle run by these two women.

[ he sounds slightly resentful. They shouldn't have trusted them, after all! ]

yams

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Trust is - a word, sure. [ she says, with half a grin. ]

Which ones? Which place are you from, the boat? Or the like, wild west one, or...

[okitactless]

I came from Tora-kun and Ryuu-kun's castle! [yams is literally the only person who calls them that so good luck figuring out who they are] Sanji-kun was there too, and Evan-kun.

[WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE THAT WAS IN GRIMM, YAMS]

chuuya

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Is... is that how that works? [ she squints. ] But like, we're in seven different timelines, right, maybe future you isn't actually future you. Maybe it's a different you?

Ow. My head.

45

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ she huffs. ]

Yeah, I know how you function. Don't come crying to me when people get wigged out by you, that's all I'm saying. [ beau says like she's not going to defend 45 anyway. stupid shounen problems. ]

anaido

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ she laughs again, but this time it's like it's surprised out of her. ]

Fingers crossed. That way I can just chill for the rest of the time. [ she glances at him wryly. ] You died the first week?

dimitri

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ ohhh. she looks over at him with a lazy grin. ]

Shit, you're smart. [ she notes that for later. ] That's exactly what I'm doing. What was your name again?

jason

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Oh, shit. I haven't had scotch since I was a teenager. [ she grins. ] Sure, let's go for it.

What's your name, dude?

minako

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Sure? What are they? [ she's already reaching for them, hello. ]

c3po

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ she peers at him!! wow, cool. ]

Holy shit. You're a robot. [ she scoots a little off the counter to look closer. ] Shiny. You don't eat either, do you?

asch

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ gross, dude. ]

Quit, you're gonna make yourself sick from the blood. [ fuss. ] And no, I didn't. Just woke up here. I'm assuming you didn't make it back to die.

bitty brat

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

[ ow. what the fuck, damian. she wheezes a second, stunned for a round. six seconds, right? he better be ready for her to fucking come up and clothesline the shit out of him once she's not stunned. because that's what she's going to do, just a big roundhouse punch. ]

zenitsu

[disreguarded]

[ from here ]

Probably, yeah, but I'm not gonna let anybody die for good, just like last time. [ she says, reassuringly. just gonna. slap his face a little. gently! ] Hey. Hey! Look at me, Zenitsu. I'm gonna look after you, okay?
