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.

Their memories had been tampered with and they were all missing different things. [ he holds his right arm up, pulling the sleeve of his jacket down. from shoulder to fingertips, it's prosthetic and pretty sick looking. robo arm... ]
They'd been dealing with the mess before we'd even gotten there, things just got progressively worse once we arrived. [ bc ofc they did. ]

I'm sorry to hear that. [ genuinely. ] Did you ever manage to resolve the mess?
no subject
No worries. [ nods ] We did. It took eight weeks, but we eventually figured out how to return everything back to normal. Now we can come and go as we please, the crew included.
I imagine we'll have to do something similar to get out of this mess. It's gonna come down to both sides working together, for us to go back home.
no subject
Seizaburo said something similar, but unless there's some way of communicating with the other side to let them know we exist I'm not sure how that's going to happen.
no subject
I imagine that'll come eventually, it'll just be a matter of how. Though us being here from the start does make it more complicated. I just hope it's sooner rather than later...

[ there is some sarcasm on the last two words because he doesn't think any of this should be happening to begin with!! ]
