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'll find a way to save them, then. Ourselves, and then them.
[lili your canon,,,
no, just kidding. she'd actually heard of most people getting to be revived so - hearing about a place where that wasn't possible? she can't allow it. not when their situations were so close to being the same. she has a new goal and it's to also save thots.]
no subject
It's something that makes him smile, though - a genuine one.]
That was the plan! [Because their survivors are fuckin determinators of the worst sort of nature.] Hah - we didn't exactly expect to end up taking a detour before working on our retrieval, but not knowing what to expect hasn't stopped us before.

[a beat, before she continues - ]
Lili An, from the village at the center of the universe. Corruption would make people feel as though they wanted to act aggressively and kill others, yes. You can't shake it from your mind once you're infected unless someone cleanses you with an item. Not that it mattered, because all but one person had to die to end the farce anyway.
That one person got to decide the fate of everything - and we were lucky he wasn't some megalomaniac. He just brought us all back and took a few requests.
no subject
[Because sometimes the information you get is just "everything was a lie hope you enjoyed starring in our LA adaptation of this popular ff.net disaster".]
My... That is a close call. What a dangerous game to play. [They all are, obviously, but damn.] I'm glad that it turned out well for you there, though - even if it seems we've all stumbled into another string of misfortune for now, hah.
no subject
[IN HER TOTALLY FINE, UNBIASED OPINION AS AN INCREDIBLY WILLFUL YOUNG LADY]
Same to you. We don't even know what we're being transported for again - I'm going to really sock someone in the face if it's the same stupid charade again.
no subject
[WILLPOWER... IT'S CRUCIAL. Sometimes you're just very willful people.]
Do you think it might be? I'd say we're probably dealing with something different this time. Not entirely, but for the most part.

They would choose one person to possess a week, yes. As far as we've learned, curses of some sort were involved in deciding who their victims would be. They'd kill one person and then we would have to exorcise them, which would kill the host in the process. The host was never able to resurface again after being taken over, regardless.
no subject
That's horrible. I'm sorry.
[like genuinely, it's just getting screwed over by bad luck and rng that would mean you're dead for fucking ever? speaking as someone who was corrupted and revived in her own game, she looks so sad over thots]
Are there many of you here from that environment?
no subject
For now he just dips his head a little, silently grateful for the commiseration. Thanks Lili you're a pal.]
Four others, outside of myself. Tonbokiri, Dick, Escha and Taako.
no subject
For us - it's myself, Ookurikara, and Tsurumaru.
[she'll look around and she'll point them out if she can]
They're both odd, but please treat them well or I'll have to beat you up.
no subject
Ah! I was quite close to some of their comrades! There were five of them on the boat. [FIVE HELLS.] I'll treat them well, of course!
no subject
Five? That's far too many of those people to deal with at once.
[SHE CAN BARELY HANDLE TWO, AND NOW FOUR]
