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.

Oh. [ he does know hot springs. ] I've never been to one, but that does sound quite appealing.
feminitis: (listen to me i'm SERIOUS)

Never? You're missing out!

Work kept me pretty busy so I never had much of a chance to go out.
feminitis: (this innocence is 97% fake)

Oh, that's a shame... not the sort of job where you have many opportunities to take a vacation, then?

Not really. Plus, after my last "vacation", I'm not sure I'm ready to go on another one just yet.

[ """"vacation"""" ]
feminitis: (i have to go now)

[personal profile] feminitis 2025-06-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ah... that makes sense given what he has talked about in public here on the bus.]

Right... that's fair. Well, if you ever do get the chance to visit one when you're ready to, you really should give them a try! They're very relaxing.

I'll keep that in mind. And also agree with your suggestion for one if we do get to make requests.

[ they are not going to have any of these requests granted. ]
feminitis: (why are boys so dumb)

[personal profile] feminitis 2025-06-02 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[they most certainly will not.

anyway, sei moves to one of the windows and opens the shutter to peer outside, cursing the fact that she cannot simply open the window itself.]


...I keep looking, hoping someone is going to be out there and we can get their attention by waving, but nobody ever is.

[ hmmmm ]

I don't suppose there's an alarm system on here we might be able to trigger that would be loud enough to catch someone's attention.

[ except then they'd have to listen to it for hours so actually that's a bad idea. ]
feminitis: (urrrk i hecked up)

[personal profile] feminitis 2025-06-02 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[thinks about that

thinks about how loud it would have to be in here for it to be something that anyone out there might be able to hear

[ yeah........yeah. ]

We'll figure something out.
feminitis: (my will is second to none)

[personal profile] feminitis 2025-06-03 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
It's not a bad idea. If we can find some sort of alarm, we can sound it if the situation gets really dire.

[like if they actually legitimately run out of food. they would probably all rather have headaches than die.]

Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

[ wraps up this thread so we can keep things FRESH ]
