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.

To bribe us for what? To kill each other again?

[ killing is easier with a proper weapons!! idiots!! ]
hydrogenetic: (Would you come back)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Or to cooperate into whatever they want us to do. So yeah, probably kill each other again.
unfriendliest: (not in the mood)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'd rather kill whoever brought us here.
hydrogenetic: (But if we try)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
May as well get it over with, right? [It's a dry response, but he can't exactly say Kara isn't valid.] You think this bus is taking us straight to them?
unfriendliest: (trademark ookurikara face)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
If the board wasn't lying, it's at least taking us to where our weapons are.
hydrogenetic: (Would you come back)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Then we should figure out a strategy for once we're there. Wherever there even is. Any ideas? We don't even know who we're fighting yet.
unfriendliest: (down to business)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
All it said was "somewhere with more leg room."

[ which could mean anything, really. ]

The first step is to find our swords.
hydrogenetic: (Don't say you're more than this)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
And after that, we find whoever's in charge and demand some answers. [Wait though.] How many people were in charge of your last run?
unfriendliest: (judging)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Two. But they said it was just the universe telling them things.
hydrogenetic: (Would you come back)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
Was that actually true?
unfriendliest: (trademark ookurikara face)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he shrugs. ]

Everything worked out how they said it would, in the end, so I guess was.
hydrogenetic: (So far away)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I assume that's good. [Kara doesn't seem too fussed.] How did everything end?
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone was revived, we got to keep our magic, and we were supposed to be going home.

[ BUT NOW THEY'RE HERE ]
hydrogenetic: (What you have with what you hate)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
So this place is kind of a huge letdown. [Haha.] What kind of magic are we talking here?
unfriendliest: (judging)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-07 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he nods. that's a bit of an understatement, percy :/ ]

Mine was fire. And meteors.
hydrogenetic: (What would my head be like)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-08 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a slow nod.] I think I know someone who'd be envious of that, too. [Leo with meteors is terrifying though.] So everyone had something like that?
unfriendliest: (down to business)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-08 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ having to explain ty's own game to her character, ]

Everyone had an elemental power and one other ability. Not all of the abilities were offensive like mine.
hydrogenetic: (You fall flat)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-08 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
That doesn't sound so bad. Did you at least get to choose what element you were working with? [Gee. Wonder why he's so curious.]
unfriendliest: (suffering but it's fine)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-08 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
No. But we were allowed to switch, if we earned it.
hydrogenetic: (Textbook version)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-08 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
How do you even earn something like that?
unfriendliest: (thinking too much)

[personal profile] unfriendliest 2020-06-08 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ he shrugs. ]

Some kind of task the hosts would give us. I never asked.

[ what's the point in starting over with your magic after working with it for so long! ]
hydrogenetic: (If I fall forward)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-09 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds annoying. But at least we won't have to worry about that here. [And yet.] Thanks for the insight though.
