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.

Is being the guy who hiccups all the time really what you'd want to be remembered for? Local man hiccups throughout entire conference.

There are worse things to be remembered for.

If you had to choose, what would be the worst thing?

[ no card needed. ]

Hmm.

[ Damn, they're getting deep now. ]

I'll have to think about that one for a while.

[ nods in understanding. ]

Of course. That's a tough one, so take your time.

[ awkwardly picks a new card. ]

What would the title of your autobiography be?

[ Oh, this one is easy. ]

Something like... All or Nothing: Risking Everything for the Highest Return.

[ blinks his eyes ]

That actually sounds really cool. So you're a big risk taker then?

As a gambler, I have to be, right?

[ DON'T GAMBLE, KIDS ]

[personal profile] bladeward 2025-06-06 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
That makes sense. A professional gambler is quite the career, but I assume you're rather good at it, if that's the title.

Luck's normally on my side, though in this case, not so much.
