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.

[YAMS GETS AN EYEPATCH WEEK 0]

Yes! I was very fond of all of them.

... that's good to hear.

[ he's glad wwx is a sword friend, apparently ]

I'm glad most of them aren't here though.

[ this shit sucks ]
givethemhell: (dead by now)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-07 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[He is a sword friend in the worst way.]

Ah... [Hm. Alexa how to tell a sword that almost everyone who isn't here is cursed to become a demon on demon island.] From your home, you mean?
preowned: (there is blood in the thread)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-07 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but I guess it also applies to everyone else. Unless they're also in a similar situation.

[ which is very possible! this can be a line of bups... ]
givethemhell: (hm?)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-07 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[A LINE OF BUPS.]

You think more of us just stumbled from the last world into a new one without ever making it home?

[That mood when for your game it'd actually be a good thing, possibly.]
preowned: (sweet for our wedding)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-07 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's fairly possibles, yes. There is no way for us to know for sure right now.

[ it's too early to get any lore ]
givethemhell: (dead by now)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-07 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[0 lore and almost 10k comments in 2 days congrats everyone]

I can't believe I have to say it-- Ah, actually, I can! But I hope we're the only ones with this sort of bad luck, if anyone has to have it at all.

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-07 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so too! It's already bad enough to find out this kind of thing has been happening a lot more often than I thought.

[ get more original ideas you fucks ]
givethemhell: (wish i could remember)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-06-07 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[HE HATES IT THANKS, THE POWERS THAT BE ARE THE WORST.]

Aha, I have to be honest! I didn't expect there to be this much variety in terms of kidnapping-people-across-worlds-to-suffer-through-murder.
preowned: (in a closed room)

[personal profile] preowned 2020-06-07 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I also was rather surprised as well... I wonder why it's so popular?

[ us oocly, sweating ]
givethemhell: (uplift)

[Tsurumaru staring directly through the computer screen at us.]

Someone suggested some sort of organization of super-beings that like organizing these things across worlds for fun.

[Wei Wuxian is also now staring directly through the computer screen at us.]
