WEEK ZERO: ARRIVAL - OVERFLOW

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. |

We got stuff from home, if we guessed who, where and how for each death. So there were a few of us just running around with our own tried and tested weaponry after the first week or so.
no subject
Haymaker? [WHO IN THE FCK. Wow though he's jealous, we wishes they got anything decent from solving their mysteries. All they got was more stdemons?? Anyway--]
Ah, hm. Some of us arrived with our own weapons, too. Actually - isn't this a little unusual, here? I don't think I've heard of anyone arriving somewhere new with nothing.
no subject
Beau. Don't worry, as soon as they realise they're both here they'll probably be about five steps away from each other at any given moment.
Yeah. I'm missing my shit and I want it back.
no subject
Ah! Are they close? [He says so very casually while filing this information away.]
What do you think is more likely, hm? That we "earn" back our belongings over time doing this or that, or that they'll be a consolation prize for our survivors?
no subject
I think so? They hung out a fair bit.
They either give me my stuff when I get off this bus, or I'll shake its location out of them.
no subject
Haha, it's good to know that he made friends there. He's certainly more sociable than Jin Ling.
[fuckin RIP jin ling who he'll bully even though they're nowhere near each other.]
How likely do you think it is that we'll actually get off of the bus, anyway?
no subject
Aw, Jingles was fine once you got past the layes of insecurity, snappishness and instant need to defend himself from little any damn thing you said.
[ wwx đ¤ ash
making fun of jin ling ]
Dunno. Depends on if we figure out how to stop the windows from fighting back.
no subject
holy shit do i hate the fact that they're going to bond over calling Jin Ling Jingles though, because he absolutely and delightedly yells:]
Jingles—!!
[Which is followed by a burst of laughter, and he slaps his knee like a 40 year old dad. He's taking that nickname home with him thanks.]
Hah - but you're right, you're right about that. He's a prickly child! Prickly, but his heart is good. [Ash has made it into his good books already for having that kind of opinion and also still gently bullying him.]
Ah, goodness - you don't think there's any getting off at stops?
no subject
He loved that name.
[ he did not. ] If you can get through the Fort Dreknor of self defence systems he's got, sure.
Dunno. I don't see a stopping schedule anywhere.
no subject
Oh, I'm certain! Just as much as he loves his courtesy name. [ie not at all.]
Did you? It sounds like you might have. [He hopes he did. His zombie bodyguard made more friends than his nephew at this rate.]
That's probably to keep us in suspense! Or something, maybe.
no subject
Nah, he was still a prickly bitch the whole time. [ they were spite buddies, it's fine. ]
I didn't sign up for suspense, I've had enough of that.
no subject
Hah, well, he's always going to be like that. But if you're able to say those kinds of things about him, it must mean you got along decently enough, at least.
[A little, quirking grin. THAT'S ALL HE CAN ASK FOR.]
I do have to agree with you there, though! I'd like a refund.
[yall didn't pay shit to be here]
no subject
What's with people and kidnapping? There some kind of game on? Some dare we don't know about?
no subject
[He says this very solemnly. His nephew inherited all of his dumb dad's bad traits.]
I'd like to ask that question myself, though! It's a little strange how many places and existences there are out there that have the same idea, isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if there was a higher organization.
no subject
That's possibly the worst thing I've heard anyone say in the past 24 hours. [ and that might even count after anaido yells about sex demons for way too long ]
no subject
Hah, I wish I didn't have to say it, to be honest. But a possibility is a possibility, unfortunately!
no subject
Sure. Doesn't sound like we can do much about it right now though, if it's more than just a possibility.
no subject
Maybe we'll be able to gain a little more insight this time around into the things that go on behind the curtain, so to say?
no subject
At least we all kinda have an idea of how this is gonna play out. Might be harder to trick us this time around.
