bus

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.

So you'd rather use that time to shower.

Is that so bad? Would you rather I spend that time bothering you instead?

[ WHY HIM ]

There are two other people on this bus.

You give off the impression that you would hate it more.

[personal profile] frostfist 2025-06-05 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
I just think we should all get to know each other equally.

[personal profile] tactic 2025-06-05 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, we'll have plenty of time for that later when the weekly effects become far more intrusive.

[ oh goody ]

Looking forward to it?

Not one bit. For your sake, I hope you don't have too many secrets.

[ GRABS HIS HAND TO STOP HIM and then just holds hands after, yay. ]

I worry for all my friends.

[ handholding? on MY christian bus??? but he doesn't pull away. ]

Are we friends?

[ Swings their hands! ]

I like to think so. No pressure for you to reciprocate, of course.

[ HMMMMMMMMMMMM ]

Do you always make friends so easily, Mr. Aventurine?

[personal profile] tactic 2025-06-06 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all!

[ JUST SAYS THIS ]

I'd hate to be part of some exclusive club then.

If you need further convincing, I can be quite persuasive. I can also be patient.
frostfist: (pic#16873258)

[personal profile] frostfist 2025-06-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? And how would you persuade me?

[personal profile] tactic 2025-06-06 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Friends help each other out, don't they? I can be handy to have if you ever find yourself in a difficult position.

[personal profile] frostfist 2025-06-06 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That would require placing my trust in you, someone I've only just met a handful of days ago.

[ try again ]
tactic: (pic#17149905)

[personal profile] tactic 2025-06-07 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
Then allow me to demonstrate when the time is right.
frostfist: (pic#16949978)

[personal profile] frostfist 2025-06-07 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be looking forward to it.
