BUS? A BUS???

The wheels on the bus (don't) go round and round...

You wake up on a bus.

It's a very nice bus, though. Luxurious, even! The seats are comfy and can be used as beds, with pajamas also available for you to change into. It's stocked with enough food and drink to last a week or so, along with a bathroom that also has a shower and free toiletries to use. The downside, however, is that apparently you have to share—as you're not alone when you awaken.

It seems like you're not where you should be, either. The bus comes equipped with TV screens, but rather than any movie or show, it's reality TV in the most literal sense. You might even recognize a few faces over there in the terminal, but either way, you can watch the participants go about their day. You're as equally confused as they are, after all, even if miles (?) separate you.

For that matter, that's pretty much all you can do. You're stuck on this bus. You can't access where the driver's controls would be, and there's no driver to begin with; in fact, the bus isn't even moving. The doors are shut, and any attempt to break the windows will send you bouncing back. Opening the shutters will treat you to the enticing sight of... outside airport scenery. You're on airport grounds somewhere, but you can't tell anything other than that. If you do some digging around, though, one compartment on the bus contains a random assortment of card games and board games for you to entertain yourselves with.

Better get cozy, because you might be here for a while.

RUNDOWN

• This will be your one mingle post until next Friday.
• You do not have any personal belongings on you. Unlike the other players, you also don't have a phone. Sad.
• The W0 weekly effect, once revealed, will apply to you as well.
• Your characters are able to see anything that takes place on the public mingles, including network posts, via the bus TV screens. You may also handwave them being able to see the initial notification that the players all received on their phones.
• We will have a small, pseudo-mini-event for you on W0 Wednesday at 12pm PST/3pm EST.

[looking at the card she's drawn... huh, when did she pick that up? oh well.]

If animals could talk, which one would be the rudest to humans?

[frostfist]

[ without missing a beat: ]

Geese. They're already rude enough without needing to talk.

[feminitis]

Really? What sorts of rude things do you think they would say?

[frostfist]

Hmmmm...

[ adopting a hoity toity pinched rude voice: ]

How dare you infringe on our territory, you disgusting smelly human!

[feminitis]

[



she cracks up laughing]

[frostfist]

[ adds a couple of goose honking sounds for effect ]

[feminitis]

[help she's laughing too hard she can't breathe



okay that's a lie she can breathe just fine]

Wriothesley-san! You didn't tell us you were fluent in Goose!

[tactic]

[ ALSO STARTS LAUGHING ]

[frostfist]

[ another job well done (?)

aventurine can also get some honking sounds sure ]

[tactic]

You might have been hanging around too many geese.

[bladeward]

[ girl help. he tries not to laugh, but just ends up bursting out laughing. ]

[frostfist]

[ thumbs up. can everyone tell this bus solitary is driving him insane? ]

[tactic]

Cats? They already have the attitude, don't they?

[feminitis]

Some of them do! But some cats can be very affectionate, too!

[tactic]

Fair enough. I just think that if any speaking animal could potentially make me cry, it would be a cat.

[feminitis]

...oh! That's true! A cat would be much more targeted with its rudeness. They're very smart.

[tactic]

Quite smart! What about you? What animal would bring you to tears?

[bladeward]

That could be so many of them. But I bet kangaroos would have a lot to say, they already pack a punch, adding words into the mix would just make things worse.

[feminitis]

Kangaroos... what sorts of things do you think they would say?

[bladeward]

It'd be all trash talk, I'm sure. They'd probably put you down like...

[ clears his throat and puts on a "tough guy" voice. ]

With those puny little muscles you couldn't even hit a leaf.

1/2

[feminitis]

[her first instinct upon hearing that is to make a deeply offended face because hey! fuck you! her muscles are fine!!!]

2/2

[feminitis]

[and then she remembers he's just answering her question so she calms down.]

That would be really rude of them!

[bladeward]

[ clears his throat and goes back to normal. whatever that means. ]

Right. They're straight up jerks, making up whatever they want to try and get in your head.

[frostfist]

[ hears that


looks at his muscles ]

[bladeward]

[ nooo wrio you are perfect. no notes.

keith is a fan.... ]
