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.

Eldritch horror soul-devouring mansion.

[HE SAYS SO PLAINLY]
vigilantics: (under the blossom tree.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-06 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Cool.

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-06 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[it's so not cool, but that's okay, he appreciates her being so blase about it]

We killed the house.

Obviously.
vigilantics: (who gave you eyes like that.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-06 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, did you guys actually get to set things on fire?

[ she sounds jealous ]
survivaltricks: (pic#13006358)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-06 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. A lot of people set things on fire.

[STARES INTO THE DISTANCE]

. . . at times when they really shouldn't have set things on fire.
vigilantics: (is get into your head.)

[ she looks over to wherever evan is

and looks away ]


I get that.

[PLEASE I WAS INVOLVED IN THAT FIRE!!]

[follows her gaze and makes a ??? look but doesn't ask]


I take it there wasn't a big bad for you guys to kill at the very end. . .?
vigilantics: (we got double.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
No. Uh... it was kind of previously proving that killing the people in charge wouldn't help.
survivaltricks: (pic#13006319)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-07 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

Well, that sucks.

[it doesn't sound personally satisfying at all]
vigilantics: (can't be together.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
They had past rounds, and we were just the last one that was meant to break their tie. But in a previous one, this kid killed Tiger. She got better.

[s-she got better]

Hm.

Seems like death really is way less permanent than I originally thought. In all universes.
vigilantics: (the whole damn night.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
... well, it's probably pretty permanent in some, statistically speaking.

[ not her own because she's comic and death isn't real unless you're a side character ]

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-06-07 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[JUST. LAUGHS]

Less permanent in others? I wonder which one is more common.

[he jokes. he knows]
vigilantics: (gimmie love.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe we can do a poll? Find out who's from somewhere where you can sit back up in the asket.

[ actually she's curious about that but no ]
