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.

Hmmmm...

[ adopting a hoity toity pinched rude voice: ]

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

[

she cracks up laughing]

[ adds a couple of goose honking sounds for effect ]

[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!

[ what being on a bus for almost a week will do to a man ]

If we ever come across a herd of geese, I'll happily serve as translator.

[ he absolutely will not. ]

We'll be counting on you!

[please god never let them come across a herd of geese... they will die....... (again?)]

[ they will definitely die (again). in the meantime, it's time for another question. ]

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

Hmm... both could be good for training, depending on what skills you'd be practicing with! I think I'd prefer a hundred duck-sized horses so I could work on my speed and accuracy.

[ she is so cute....affection week strikes again and he reaches out to ruffle her bangs. ]

Sounds like you're the most diligent of us all here.

[it's affection week, so she beams instead of feeling like he's treating her like a kid.]

I have to be if I'm going to keep up with the other members of the First Troop, and if I'm going to make Okita-sensei proud! ...once we have more space I'll really have to devote myself to training to make up for the days I've lost here...
