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.

[from here]

[it's about what she expects, but she's easy to read. it's not like she'd even want to hide her dismay.]

... very well then. I'll accept that for now, so I hope you don't end up made a liar later.

[so she just sighs]

You still look like a mess. Do you need ice?

[do they? have ice???]

i do not see this subject

[personal profile] baori 2020-06-06 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ i hope they have ice......... ]

If I end up lying then it won't be because I've decided to.

[ in before the mods come for my life and i have to send giyuu to the shadow realm before the game even starts. but with the offer he'll turn from her and try to shoo her away. ]

I'll be fine. It'll go away on its own.

[ let him sit in peace??? kind of. ]
coastal: (✧ you know a bitch buy four)

love me, naru

[wh]

... you'll let yourself be grilled by a stranger but won't let someone be concerned by your wounds?

[she's just trying to follow the logic here]

closes eyes

[personal profile] baori 2020-06-06 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah??? he doesn't see what the issue is here, thanks. ]

Is there something wrong with that?
coastal: (✧ die immediately right now)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It doesn't make much sense - I guess you do seem like the brooding type.

[????? that's the only hint she's even remotely got for understanding this]
baori: (pic#13921167)

[personal profile] baori 2020-06-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Brooding type?

[ ??? she comes into his space and starts saying these things??? ]
coastal: (✧ pokes a squirrel)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[she just nods]

The brooding type that makes a fuss about your injuries if they're not life-threatening, whether out of pride or lack of desire to use supplies or time on your well-being.

[personal profile] baori 2020-06-06 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ that.

that's such a specific example and it's one that he doesn't now to respond to because wow. he has no idea if that would really be a fair statement to make about himself. or more like, he doesn't know if he should even comment about it.
]

coastal: (✧ both his and hers; i want it)

[personal profile] coastal 2020-06-06 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[yea lili just says things]

Just don't try to downplay any bigger problems, either.

[ she keeps talking and giyuu will keep listening.

but he definitely isn't going to be saying anything. he's not going to incriminate himself like this? his silence will stand as a sign that he will confirm nor deny anything that she is saying. especially since he's not thick enough to miss how quickly this conversation will be turned around.

it's...a lot.
