You know how the story goes by now. One minute youâre somewhere familiar, and the next youâre suddenly somewhere else. Unlike previous times before, the source of your rude awakening isnât 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, itâs 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 youâll 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 imaginationâŚ? Regardless, though the lighting is a tad dim, it becomes apparent that youâre 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; thereâs 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? Youâre 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 may be on the up and up with a lot of Modern Stuff now, but that just has him blinking, canting his head to the side.]
I wasn't aware luck had a ranking system like that! Would've been nice to know earlier - having labels probably could have come in handy, haha.
[He could slap a ZZ-rank luck warning label onto himself.]
no subject
Unfortunately it's the kind of thing you only learn with trial and error.
no subject
[Please just make him into a gacha character.]
no subject
[he is already a gacha character]
The trial and error has already been completed.
no subject
I see... Once you have your ranking, can you change it? Are you stuck with it indefinitely? I think I'd like to petition to change.
no subject
But it's okay. You just need to learn how to make it work for you.
no subject
[They can make the most of their curse!!]
no subject
[nice try wwx]
no subject
[Too bad their pencils get stolen. TIME FOR SOME GOOD OL' FASHIONED BLOOD RUNES.]
no subject
. . . talismans? What kind of talismans?
no subject
Good luck charms, protective talismans - things like that. You have any familiarity with that?
no subject
Not personally.
But there was someone at the mansion who knew a lot about them. I think theirs were Chinese?
no subject
Ah! Yes, Nie Huaisang, I'd bet - right?
no subject
[a beat]
Jin Ling stole my leg.
[THAT FUCKER]
no subject
[Wh. WHAT?? He blinks and looks at Akira's legs.]
no subject
He stole my leg.
[waith]
[looks down]
Oh. . . right. I got my real one back at the very end.
I lost my leg around week three or four. It's kind of a blur. I had a prosthetic, but Jin Ling stole it.
no subject
Why in the world would he do something like that?! I'm glad you seem to have gotten it back, at least.
no subject
He was trying to impress a ghost.
And also he sucks.
no subject
That boy's never been very good at making friends or even friendly acquaintances, ah...
no subject
I can see why.
[but. . .]
. . . it sounds like you know him and Nie Huaisang, though.
For what it's worth, neither of them died. Though. . . Nie Huaisang came close.
no subject
[And Jin Ling is his nephew which he will not mention.]
I'm glad for that, though. Heard he managed to take down the person who almost killed him, is that right?
no subject
[draws his thumb across his throat and grimaces]
We never figured out the murder weapon, but I think it was one of the fans he carries with him.
Nobody wanted to vote for him, though. There was another killer that week who we really needed to catch.
no subject
[He knows that much about vore house, at least.]
It would have been a shame to execute someone for a self-defense kill, in any case.
no subject
[that's a response to both of those statements]
It wouldn't have been just to execute him for defending himself, and the monster was the most important target. It was unlikely Nie Huaisang would've killed again.
But the monster? They would've killed every single week we let them roam free.
no subject
[Hmm... Doesn't like that there are multiple games out there with those premises.]
