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. |

[That said, the kitchen area is rather unfamiliarly modern to him. He opens the fridge with a curious look on his face, only to startle like a cat presented with a cucumber as he's met with unexpected cold and light.]
no subject
[No worse than some of the others he's heard BUT STILL... He blinks when Ogata startles at the fridge though, and steps over.]
—From a time before these things? I am, too! But it's too easy to get used to the convenience.
no subject
Mm. I assume it's some sort of icebox but... I've never seen lights like these, certainly not within something like that.
no subject
Mm, very convenient! It's electricity, and the light stays on once this little switch here- [He leans over to press it.] -is free. When the door is shut it presses the switch and turns the light off.
no subject
What's the purpose of the light? Just so you can... see the food better?
[SEEMS NEEDLESS]
no subject
Mmhm! Just in case you want to rummage around at night or in the dark. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason why it's there, though.
no subject
Won't the light being on make the ice melt, though...?
[He doesn't see any ice but like, surely.]
no subject
Only if you stand with the door open for too long, I'd imagine? [THERE'S NO ICE BUT yeah he's just talking like there is.] Since the light turns off when you shut it.
no subject
I suppose that's true.
[And now he's going to rummage, before pulling out an entire bag of baby carrots. He seems perplexed by the packaging.]
no subject
Like this. He's never seen a baby carrot in his life, and he immediately squints at the bag.]
—These are carrots? Why in the world are they so small? How are they all the same size like that?
no subject
... The bag says baby carrots. But I don't see how that would explain them being uniformly sized. How would they know how large it had grown before picking it. And why pick it before it's fully grown?
no subject
Maybe the taste is different if you pick it young? There are a lot of fruits and vegetables like that. Here--
[He'll reach for the bag so he can take it and open it! After taking one out and biting into it, though, he looks even more perplexed.]
—Isn't this just a carrot? This is just a carrot, right?
no subject
Anyway Ogata reaches to take one as well, as if he doubt's wwx's assessment, but then he makes a face because yeah these are sure just carrots.]
It's just a very small carrot.
[Why tho???]
