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 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. |
UMP45
In my travels I've found that droids take all manner of forms depending on the system and world. That part at least has been quite enjoyable. Meeting so many interesting new people and droids.
[His cheerful prattering is interrupted by a sudden jolt]
Oh dear! In my excitement I've quite forgotten myself. I am C-3PO, Human-Cyborg Relations. At your service.
[Threepio is, of course, polite to droids and organics both! Well, except for one droid in particular...]
no subject
But I might be getting ahead of myself. Designation UMP45.
[ she can rattle off her full serial and model number, but no one needs that. ]
Let's all get along now, shall we?
no subject
If I might ask, what do you mean by "Earths"? My translation software may be in error. Do you mean "soil" as a way to refer to geographic locations?
[He scans his memory for any system or planet called "Earth" but doesn't seem to have any record of such a place.]
[because I can't help myself, I checked and German does use "die Erde" to mean both!]
no subject
[ she mostly only knows star positions for navigation at night, not quite this context, but. ]
I say 'Earths' because while it was the same planet, at some point in the past our histories had diverged.
[ haha, different universes and timelines. ]
no subject
I'm afraid I've not heard of the planet either, although I'm not a navigational droid so I do lack complete star charts. This Planet Earth employs a type of droid called Dolls, if I'm understanding correctly?
[He's gonna, uh, go ahead and waltz past the thing about diverging histories because it's probably just metaphor or something lost in translation. Like how one city can be two different worlds depending on your status. It's probably something like that...]
