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.

[ ................ ]

Damn, why is dead stuff not staying dead a literal multiple world problem now?
hydrogenetic: (when you're not here)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-10 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[....ffs.]

Please tell me you only mean the game you came from and not an actual world problem.
voidbreaker: (30)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-10 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, people seem to be showing up alive when they should be dead back home too. Jury’s out on if it’s good or bad, I guess. Depends on who you’re asking.
hydrogenetic: (It's your turn)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-11 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't it depend on what they're doing when they come back in the first place?
voidbreaker: (8)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-11 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Not what they do after?
hydrogenetic: (Yeah right)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-11 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well you can always change their mind when they come back. Kind of hard to stop them from the before.
voidbreaker: (20)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-11 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, normally 'cause they're dead.


... Or some other complicated, behind the scenes crap.
hydrogenetic: (I'm sure you've heard)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-12 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Is it weird to say I'm kind of relieved it's not just me?
voidbreaker: (9)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-12 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe?

[ he shrugs. ] It's all linked to something specific, so it's not like they're poppin' up all over the place.
hydrogenetic: (Although I never mastered anything)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-12 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's linked to something specific in our case, too. I was in the middle of fixing it before we woke up on the train, so who knows what's going to happen next.
voidbreaker: (21)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-12 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe you'll go back to where you were and get things fixed?
hydrogenetic: (you're better off trying to freeze hell)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-13 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
That was the plan. But this isn't the first time my plans have been thrown off course, so who am I kidding?
voidbreaker: (8)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-13 10:00 am (UTC)(link)
Plans are usually meant to be fucked.
hydrogenetic: (I never learn)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-13 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's exactly why I usually don't make plans. [There's a grin. Thank you for the validation, Ash.]
voidbreaker: (12)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-14 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ i am legit trying to think of a single plan that didn't get fucked along the way, even if the conclusion was good, in cold steel and hahahaha. ]

If you can't adapt then what the hell's the point?
hydrogenetic: (It could leave)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-14 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Glad someone else gets it...but then again usually my ideas girl is the one coming up with our plans when we're working together.
voidbreaker: (Default)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
So what, you let your ideas girl come up with all these plans then veer wildly from the at the first chance you get?
hydrogenetic: (This heart will start a riot in me)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-15 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that tends to happen. Drives her crazy, but it works out fine most of the time. [He looks so pleased with himself.]
voidbreaker: (Default)

[personal profile] voidbreaker 2020-06-15 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ wow. ]

Do the times where it doesn’t work out get held over your head?
hydrogenetic: (Yeah right)

[personal profile] hydrogenetic 2020-06-15 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Even the times they do work out get held over my head. She's just like that. [Hard to miss how sickeningly fond he sounds though.]
