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.

[RIP to Flayn.]

Forty, if I remember right? Forty-two if you count the two girls who were made examples of before we started the killing part ourselves.

About twice as many as there were where I was...

[She thinks about it for a moment.]

...were your lives tied to one another's?
hydrogenetic: (Feels like Im falling down a rabbit hole)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
You might have the smallest group so far. [But hm?] What do you mean about lives being tied to each other?

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-07 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Someone I spoke to who came from a place that also had about twice as many as my group did... they were in a castle, and they were divided into pairs. If one of them was to die, the other would as well.

[She's wondering if having twice the number of people in the group meant twice the number of people had to die.]

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
First time I'm hearing about that...we didn't have anything like that. Everyone who died in our game was because they were murdered, or an accident happened to kill them.

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-07 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[hmm. bad.]

How many of you were killed..?
hydrogenetic: (I ain't really sleep well)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm.]

Forty-two. I was the last one.

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-07 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[that's a big yikes, percy!!]
hydrogenetic: (C'mon c'mon)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-07 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
...it's okay. Everyone got revived and we were all heading home before this.
fishingforcompliments: (029)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-07 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[and they're. here now.]

...that was the case with us, as well. Those of us who died were brought back, and we were supposed to be going home.
hydrogenetic: (Cannot seem to find my way home tonight)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-08 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
So what do you think happened to our friends who were supposed to be going home with us? Why is it only us?
fishingforcompliments: (014)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-08 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
I do not know. Perhaps we were merely unlucky, and were picked up on our way back...? If that is the case... our friends may have made it back safely.
hydrogenetic: (We're settling the final score)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-08 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you're right. They deserved to go back after everything that happened. Even if we're stuck for a little longer...I wouldn't want the rest of them to be here either.
fishingforcompliments: (029)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-06-08 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
Neither would I. The safer they are, the better.
