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.

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

[feminitis]

Oh, definitely a fox. They're known to be mischievous.

[tactic]

Are they? You don't do well with the mischievous type, then?

[feminitis]

A little bit of mischief is okay! But there are some legends where fox spirits can take things a bit too far. So, I think a fox would know quite well how to make someone cry if they wanted to.

[tactic]

Ha... I'll take your word for it, though I don't think it would be very easy to make you cry, Mr. Seizaburo.

[feminitis]

Really? I'm flattered that you think so! ...it's a little embarrassing to say, but I'm actually quite the crybaby. That's alright, though! I have to get all my tears out now while I'm still young so that when I'm older I can properly serve the Shogunate.

[tactic]

... You're a very honest person.

[ MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T ADMIT TO BEING A CRYBABY ]

Let's hope nothing brings you to tears here.

[feminitis]

What would be the point in hiding it?

[nothing has made her cry yet, but once something does... it will be very obvious.]

But yes, let's hope for that. You don't seem like someone who cries much, but I do hope the same for you.
