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, you have got to be kidding me...

[ This is like the third?? time?? he's randomly woken up in the middle of some place that he doesn't belong. But since there is absolutely no use in muttering to himself, Aventurine will try for the doors and the windows, stepping over your character if they're still not up.

If they are, they can be treated to a bunch of games falling on their head when Aventurine opens up the special overhead compartment because it is now an overhead compartment i have decided this. ]

[wakey wakey!

to sei, it's obvious pretty much instantly that she's not in kyoto anymore; the bus is far too different from the shinsengumi's headquarters for her to think for even a moment that perhaps she just fell asleep in a different place than usual. she sits up, frowning as she takes in their surroundings, her gaze flicking from one part of the bus, to the tv screens and the people on it, to the other three people similarly waking up.

she groans.]


Not this crap again. [and then, checking her immediate surroundings for any personal belongings, she scowls as she realizes something is missing...] Ugh, of course my swords are gone.

Why.

[ he just stares out the window for a moment, before looking up at the screens, and then down at the other three. at least its just the four of them, otherwise this bus would really suck. too cramped...

regardless of who's awake he just gets up and immediately tries shoulder checking a window. when it doesn't budge and sends him onto the floor, he sits there sulking.

This is somehow worse than the stasis pods.

[this happens, and sei, who has been occasionally glancing at the screens in case there are any new developments, gasps lightly.]

Oh - guys! Something is happening with the others! We'll probably want to watch this - looks like they'll have the chance to ask some initial questions...

[sei: so our options are sleep, play board games, and watch the larger group on these screens like a bunch of creeps?

also sei: (keeps watching the screens)

anyway, when this happens -]


So there's eight of them here too...

[ so it's (checks notes) day four of being on this cramped bus. surely morale is starting to dip. dressed in a set of fun pajamas, wriothesley makes his (very short) way to the gathered crew on the bus, patting them comfortingly on the shoulder.

sometimes you are not particularly touchy-feely but the spirit (affection week) compels you. ]


How're you holding up so far? Need anything? A hot cup of tea, a hug?
