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.

  • 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.

You don't ever get the urge to sit and do nothing for a little while?
feminitis: (ahahaha... well.......)

Well... if I'm being honest, I don't always find it easy to sit still.

[ looks around at their bus surroundings. ]

Must be tough being in here then, huh.
feminitis: (what a close call ugh)

A bit, yes. This is the least active I've been in years...

[ parents up. is it still affection week? yes. he pats her on the shoulder again. ]

We'll find a way to get out of here soon. [ and they will in fact get out of here soon! ] And then once we do, you can run around as much as you'd like.

[she smiles, reaching up to pat his hand while it's on her shoulder.]

I'll be looking forward to that. I'm sure it will be an improvement for all of us once we're able to get out and stretch our legs a bit, even if we don't all jump straight to working out.
