[Now, Junpei is fairly certain they're all here for some kind of fucked up death game, because why wouldn't the third time be the charm!!— but until some mysterious costumed weirdo starts getting on all the screens and making announcements, there's not that much to go on. He can skulk around town glowering suspiciously at things for long so long.
Sooooo.]
if anybody wants my vote, it's t minus however the hell long before we all start killing each other. would love to be wrong, but if i live long enough to say i told you so, yknow. yippee.
so.
why do *you* think we're here? wrong answers only. top 3 by popular vote get a prize.
[Does he have a prize to hand out... No, no he does not. He will find some cheap garbage in one of the shops and write a 1ST/2ND/3RD PLACE on it, no problem. Eventually. Maybe even a sticker.]
and what do you guys think about picking code names? you know, just in case.
[big talk from username junpei]

no subject
O-ho, so thou art familiar with it! Yes, I am! With whom hath thee spoken on the matter?
no subject
Uh, Gregor? Short with glasses? He said he's not allowed to say anything else about the bus.
[a beat, hm,] I'm not asking for bus secrets, to be clear. But uh, I heard about it... eating stuff. That's not something we have where I'm from.
no subject
[ she's meetin up with gregor later she knows sinclair's here, now junpei can join their crew-- ]
And yes, it eats people! They must be still alive, if incapable of fighting back any longer -- it is a balance that is hard to strike, but we hath done well in its refueling thus far! It is the only of its kind!
[ i'm so sorry. this is why you don't ask for bus secrets, yeah. also because it gets into............. a lot of unexplainable stuff.................... ]
no subject
he can't look more grossed out by a bus than he does in this moment. lord have mercy. it turns out people really can turn green, at least a little.]
People, huh... That's— that's a bunch of terrible things all in a row.
[let's talk about people who aren't getting vored by a bus, instead-!]
I'll uh, keep an eye out for the other guy. [smash cut to twenty minutes into the future,] It's just you three?
no subject
So far, it would seem! And as for thee? Art thou the only one of thy histories to have ridden upon that crawling train?
no subject
Yeah, unless they're giving me the cold shoulder. I don't... think they would, though. Given how many histories there are, this might be the one where I'm on my own.
[history that god abandoned, take 2!!]
no subject
So there are even those where thou hath not a soul at thy side... Do thee often survive them? Or is thy likelihood of death higher?
[ buddy system and all. ]
no subject
I mean, there have to be, right? They're infinite and whatever. But uh, SHIFTers tend to resonate with each other, [and he makes a face briefly about how stupid it sounds, rip,] so I haven't gone to any of those histories, either.
...You know, until now, maybe. That train could come back...
no subject
Thou hath such an amazing bond with the others who share thy fate... It truly is similar to my and mine own -- perhaps we resonate with one another too, and that is how we come to work with one another no matter the circumstance!!!!!
[ that's so!!! cool!!!!!!! she loves it!!! sorry, but she genuinely thinks your shit is cool!!!!!! ]
Let us patrol the station frequently just in case! That way, they will know what history to SHIFT to -- and they do not end up in one just beside thine, where they are the only one instead!
no subject
[he's earnestly touched by this suggestion? time travel death loops really do bring everyone together, huh...
but he really does need a moment, sitting back and dragging a hand over his face. maybe the entire city isn't shitty after all-!!
okay!!!!]
Yeah. Uh, thanks. We can look for the rest of yours down there, too. Might as well stick together, you know, as fellow SHIFTers.
no subject
Right! We shall employ the buddy system! Do thee think there are creatures beneath the city?
no subject
I... hope... there aren't? I'm just a guy, I don't fight creatures or anything.
[that said,] But this is a pretty big city, so there's got to be a way down under it somewhere.
no subject
Perhaps there is a cover which we can open? Also, thou needn't worry about battle -- I shall soundly take care of anything we may meet beneath our very feet! Armed or not!
no subject
You mean sewers? That's not as cool as secret underground labyrinths... [sigh. he had one hope for this creature idea and it was cool tunnels without shit in them.] I haven't seen any normal animals up here— you really think there's going to be something underground?
no subject
[ terrifying sentences from the most innocent little lady. ]
no subject
Once again: hopefully, nowhere! Nowhere at all! Not a single creature, unless it's a tiger or something, at the zoo.
no subject
The zoo?! Hath thy been to one?! What is it like?!
no subject
[he almost asks if there's just no zoo where she's from, but oh yeah, the bus eats people, so a zoo would be too normal for that. he's learning.]
no subject
The animals I hath encountered are more the of the attacking sort, but there are some of whom I've pet. What is thy favorite?
no subject
Uh, I don't think I ever picked a favorite animal outside of grade school crap... [rabbits, no,] Let's go with dogs, that's nice and basic. No surprises with dogs.
Did you try petting the attacking animals?
no subject
Naturalmente! Once they hath been knocked out, they are quite easy to pet -- but even before then, I cannot help myself! They are so cute...! I have endeavored to bring them onto the bus more than once, but have so far been denied by mine allies!
[ unfortunately... no lightning wolf on the bus. the umbrella fox was a huge maybe until it bit her for petting the wrong way. ]
no subject
Not enough space for a hungry monster on your hungry bus? Too bad. Tell you what, if I find a pet store... or a cute enough stuffed animal... you'll be the first to know.
no subject
[ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
like she's really AAAAAing here, don quixote is 75% justice and 25% noises and this is a happy clap-squealish sort of time!!!! ]
Much thanks, mine esquire!!!!! I shall owe thee a debt of gratitude if thine eyes ever do spot one of the two, though I am grateful for the thought itself as well!!!! Thou art a kind person, Junpei!!!!
no subject
for a stuffed animal, even, wow. "probably haunted teddy bear" goes on his mental list of things he will inevitably put in the effort to get, after coffee.]
Yeah, yeah. It's really nothing. Just think of it as a "thanks for the job" present.
[the job with quantum-state realness...]
