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 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. |
minako
Aki or 45, depends on who you ask.
[ they've just loaded it in and wow the loading times just to get to the main menu are promising already. ]
An ice breaker quiz game involving... however many people here. [ beat. ] Sounds chaotic.
no subject
[ please let it be the latter, because Aki is a bit too close to another "Aki" she knows...
Minako absently hits her controller button to get the game to recognize the second player. then she hits it a few more times, because the first one doesn't take. ]
We could do teams! Come on, it sounds fun, doesn't it?
no subject
[ but please, suffer and be reminded of PROTEIN.
anyway, wow, fish selection. this looks a little... well, maybe antiquated isn't a fair descriptor to use when she's from the future. hm. the lag on inputs is cool.
(terrible.) ]
Teams? For trivia? Would we be taking turns or pooling knowledge?
no subject
45-san it is then.
[ hmmmmm, the fish aren't as cute as she was hoping... she'll just pick one that seems color coordinated. you know, when her controller stops drifting and trying to select a fish three to the right of the one she wants. ]
... Maybe we could do two rounds? One collaboration between everyone, one lightning round with only one responder.
Oh, but what categories could we use... it wouldn't be fair to ask Flayn-chan or Dimitri-san about politics in Europe, after all...
no subject
[ like she can probably guess from context but she's not so prideful that she'd pull an asch.
this fish with its... high stability is probably going to be a good idea considering that this game absolutely does not seem to be. if only she could get into it like normal she'd forcefully straighten all this out herself. ]
Even if you kept it to people from Earth, it really would depend what where and when on Earth they came from. Or which one.
no subject
[ they're gonna invent Family Fe*d? ]
But if there isn't really a shared pool of knowledge... maybe it has to be more general. Or funny.
[ they're gonna invent Jackb*x??? ]
... Hey, 45-san, do you know how to check if my controls are reversed? My fish is going in the wrong direction.
no subject
[ Jackb*x, the concept, slowly coming together... but first: ]
No idea. I keep pinging for networks or signal of any sort but get nothing at all, even though these wireless controllers very clearly imply at least that level of communication.
[ bluetooth. super outdated but here we are. ]
Maybe there's just too much interference somehow? That, or the controls are just shot. Check the pause menu maybe?
[ Her own fish seems to be trucking along, even though it says that she's going the wrong direction..... even though she's been following the arrows to a tee......... ]
no subject
ah. the menu just closed itself. ]
... Did people actually pay money for this thing...?
no subject
