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.

Well... not necessarily, but we may need the oil to cook, no?

[They don't want to use all their ingredients fighting people off and then be left hungry...!!]

[wisterin]

Do we want this... [ here's a pause for bus if she knew what it was ] to be our fortress? I'd like to see if our destination won't have places for us.

[ Please give them space. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I mean between now and whenever we arrive. We will need to eat to keep up our strength, but if we are saving it to use to fight whoever is waiting for us...

[wisterin]

How about this? We'll see if we'll get a magical resupply, and if we do, we can keep some aside for defense, and if not, it'll all be for sustenance.

[ There are always other methods to fight. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

That is an excellent idea, Shinobu.

[wisterin]

Other than that, if we can find something that can work as a lighter, there's alcohol.

[ Molotov cocktail. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

...oh! Yes, that might work.

[YIKES. Effective, but yikes.]

[wisterin]

We have options.

[ Boiling water is just as bad if it hits. ]

Or you can use the bottle without fire.

[ If she wants something a little less automatically lethal. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

If we get creative, I am sure we could repurpose many of the things in here to fight our captors.

[



unfortunately, that means they could also repurpose many of the things in here to kill each other, too. she's just not going to think about that for now.]

[wisterin]

[ Shinobu is thinking it. She's just not saying it. ]

Yes. Let's make sure we all work together. We would be a better force united.

[ Please let these two have a little less murder, as a treat. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes, I agree.

[PLEASE!! NO MORE MURDER!! Flayn is so tired of murder.]
