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. |

are we not the first group that's been here?
no subject
no subject
i guess i assumed that meant there were other passengers for those as well
no subject
no subject
but i feel like you're avoiding the subject a little bit jack
what were your other journeys like?
no subject
no subject
fair enough. what about your ties to the bus, then?
no subject
no subject
other things?
do you mean along the lines of your physical form? or more reincarnation?
no subject
no subject
i wouldn't say so, no. but similar things have claimed to happen, so i can't exactly dismiss the idea, either.
i like to think that, even if one existence did come back in many forms, that each individual still held its own viability and meaning, regardless of how they came to be or what they might become after death.
maybe they could all be considered a part of the whole, but that didn't mean they lost purpose as the individual pieces.

i guess it presents a question, though. are you - the one i'm talking to, wherever or whatever you are - are you jack?
or do you think who you are now is just one part of something bigger? it might explain why you originally didn't specify on a name

what is needed
and what is needed is getting us somewhere else right now, i imagine. am i wrong?
would you likely be something else if it were just the two of us, rather than this whole group?
no subject
and not entirely, but I probably wouldn't be a bus.
no subject
i imagine all this space would be pretty useless for one whole person, huh. but would that count as adapting to what is needed? providing what you're able to whatever the circumstance is? i'd think that would influence whatever it is you choose to become.
well, assuming you choose that, i guess.
do you have a favorite form you've taken?
no subject
but yes. I think so.
it is complicated.
most of my forms have helped. it is hard to pick a favorite.
something smaller though.
no subject
[it's. already weird to be talking to a bus at all, but. is this the strangest thing he's been through in the last two months? no, not really]
whenever you're done taking us to wherever we're going, are you planning to stay? or do you have other things you're needed for?
no subject
needed elsewhere, but I doubt I will be far.
no subject
anyway, it's good to know. maybe we'll actually be able to figure you out under better circumstances
for now, though, for what it's worth:
could you at least confirm if the twelve gods had anything to do with this?
no subject
but no. no gods.
no subject
thanks jack.
we'll have to trust you to get us where we're going for now.
