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

hm. he nods at that, and-- ]


Then let's hope we get as lucky-- or luckier-- this time around. We've all been through something like this before, so I have to hope most of us aren't interested in senselessly killing one another a second time around.

[ he'll nod back in return. ]

I'll state that those who came from the island with me are not inclined to want to harm others unless they have been given no other option.

[ is he staning everyone who came from murder island? yeah. probably. this, unfortunately, also includes ogata.... the only thing he hopes is that he doesn't end up eating his own words later. ]
unpredicktable: (but until then i wish the best for you)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
And there's eight of you, right? That's a pretty big chunk already.

[ it's fine dick believes this about, like, 50%? not to mention possession is a thing so who the fuck knows how this is going to play out ]

[ that's generous. ]

It's close to half of us who were there to start with.

[ which he is not thrilled about in the slightest bit but that's just how the cards fall, unfortunately. ]

What comes after us surely will know we're all experienced.

There were only a little more than 16 of you originally?

[ ah. ]

The size of the groups. I should've asked earlier. The cruise ship had about the same amount as this one, so I didn't think...

[personal profile] baori 2020-06-07 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
There were 21 of us originally.

[ which is honestly quite the number of people showing up despite all of their hard work to leave that wretched place. ]

Do you think that number is important?
unpredicktable: (give it to me straight)

[personal profile] unpredicktable 2020-06-07 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Who knows? [ honest? ] Can't know for sure what will be important until things kick off. It's unlikely, but that's what I would've said about winding up in another scenario like the last.

[ he'll just nod to that. giyuu doesn't have much further input to it, but yeah. ]

It's hard to imagine that there could be another scenario after what we've all left.
