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. |

She watches him wave that knife hand freely. Hm. ]
I'm relieved to hear that, but I'll also wait to see if it's true.
no subject
Hah, fair enough. [He'll get back to work, then, wielding his knife SAFELY.] Did you even have a kitchen on your island? A mess hall, something like that?
no subject
Not that she can blame him for not wanting to talk about it freely. ]
The island was abandoned. The only building there had already turned into ruins. It was truly an outdoors experience. Did your ship have better amenities?
no subject
Oh, dear... That sounds like a mess. Ours was a, ah... I believe a "luxury cruiseliner" was the word used?
no subject
Luxury, is it? It does sound like you had nicer accommodations, then, if it wasn't one left to rot.
[ Does she know what a cruise liner is? Probably not, but she gets the idea of it. ]
no subject
Oh yes, the accommodations themselves were just fine. Luxurious indeed! We wanted for nothing by way of warmth or food or water, or any extra amenities that no one needed in the middle of all that death and mayhem. But it's certainly better than having to worry about foraging in the midst of everything else.
[He's tired just thinking about it...]
no subject
Not having to worry about how to feed or clean yourself while trying to figure out a way to keep as many people safe and alive as possible would have been nice.
[ She plates her sushi bowl for him (although it's not sushi grade fish because there can be nothing fancy here, says the mods), and there is enough spices added to the fish and enough wasabi mixed in to be quite spicy. ]
As much as I'm not pleased to be here, at least we don't seem to have problems with finding food for now.
no subject
Mm, I do hope we get something a little easier than this, here... [Glancing over toward their
one single bathroom stall with one single toilet and none showers.]
—At the very least, a shower would be nice, but I suppose it's too early to say anything one way or another. [He'll plate his dish for her around the same time; burdock and lotus roots with a robust, savory sauce. Just a tiny bit of kick!]
There! No holes in any pans.
no subject
She follows his glance, and
yeah. ]
We'll have to be vigilant about that. [ For cleanliness. Please, she will allow a little more chaos, as a treat, if people keep the bathroom decent. ] If something happens there, I'm afraid I don't know what I'd do.
[ Kick another man in the dick, maybe.
She smiles in approval at what he made. ]
I'll trust you when it comes to cooking.
no subject
Haha, I really don't know what any of us would do... End up with much less than forty people in a much shorter timespan, I'd imagine.
[People killing over toilets isn't that far out there, okay. He also smiles at that, handing the dish over.]
Hah, thank you! Don't listen to Taako if he says anything to the contrary. He's just sour.
no subject
She tilts her head curiously as she accepts the dish, offering him what she made in return. ]
I did tell someone that I would punch anyone who didn't keep the bathroom clean.
[ She's honest, and she delivers. ]
What is he sour about?
