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.
vigilantics: (is a sweet revelation.)

I guess we can figure out something... maybe people can section off areas? They'll probably be more comfortable around people they already know.

The idea of lining people up in order of familiarity before laying down each night is kind of funny.
vigilantics: (let it hit you cool and hot.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-06 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I wonder how far apart we'll be?

[ Escha looks around, then sort of. Tries to imagine it? But it quickly becomes apparent that this sort of calculation is not her forte. ]

I... Don't know. I guess we'll find out, tonight.
vigilantics: (on the phone.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
I hope the people that you know bathe?

[personal profile] applechemist 2020-06-07 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they do! If not I've got the supplies to force them to!

[ Thanks, fanny-pack! ]
vigilantics: (or losin' your best friend.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
That's the right attitude! We can't let them beat us.

[ who are they fighting against ]

[ Stinky people. ]

Cleanliness is in the rules, too...! So this is a matter of safety!
vigilantics: (you'll learn to love again.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 11:47 am (UTC)(link)
Imagine if there's a punishment for breaking that...

[ what an embarrassing way to lose a limb ]
applechemist: (pic#13482481)

[personal profile] applechemist 2020-06-07 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hm... ]

... There might be. So we should be careful, for real.
vigilantics: (with my boyfriend today.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
At the very least... since we all went through something somewhat similar, we should have an idea of what to potentially expect.

[ A very vacant look as Escha thinks about the puzzles they had on the ship. Like the giant ice dick.

It wasn't a punishment, but it was Ship Shenanigans, and she's. Hm. ]
vigilantics: (i think i broke up.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-07 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
... uh huh.

You good there?
applechemist: (pic#13482568)

[personal profile] applechemist 2020-06-07 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Actually the only punishment she can think of is when she got turned stupid as a break-in punishment. And that got her killed. ]

... I'm alright. Rules are very, very important.
vigilantics: (who gave you eyes like that.)

[personal profile] vigilantics 2020-06-08 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
... let us be good rule followers then.

[ what has this girl seen ]
