THE WHEELS OF STEEL ARE TURNING

WHO: These lucky contestants
WHERE: Various boroughs of the City, and the demon dimension.
WHEN: Tuesday, August 21st, 11:54 am and onward.
WARNINGS: This post may contain graphic depictions of violence, psychological horror, and adult themes; it will definitely contain adult language. Viewer discretion advised.
SUMMARY: Vulcanus tries to blow up a collection of buses around the City in order to incite anti-imPort rioting; Lachesis mixes things up again. see here for details.
FORMAT: Go crazy, kids.


Each bus will have a labeled thread in the comments. To recap:

Bus W will explode. Lachesis will teleport these ImPorts to a location near the bus just after it explodes. Those who are assigned to this bus, you must be the heroes that the City demands. The damage will carve a hole in the street, and civilians are at risk for debris/fires/etc.

Bus X will yank imPorts inside of it and induce a week-long power switch. From 8/21 at 12 PM to the following Tuesday, 8/28 at 12 PM, characters will have their powers switched with another ImPort passenger. All characters on this bus have their new powers assigned.
Correction: this bus is located in Brooklyn.

Bus Y will yank imPorts inside of it for one minute, and then transport its imPorts to the demon dimension until midnight. Envision Dante's Inferno as the setting, but with the twist that ANYTHING CHARACTERS IMAGINE WILL MANIFEST IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE.

Bus Z will yank imPorts inside of it for one minute, and then with a LOUD SCREECHING NOISE, it will infect imPort minds with radio signals, songs, dialogue, AND IMPORTANT PLOT-RELATED INFORMATION THAT VULCANUS DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW for the rest of that day. There is no way to turn this off for the entire day. ImPorts will be returned to their prior locations at the end of one minute. All characters on this bus have their unique mental broadcasts assigned.

Yes, actually. We can hear it.

[ h e h ]

But no, you're not entirely crazy. Not about that. Didn't know he was involved, but we'll check. [ And you get the hold music of the Cuckoos' video loop while they check their other line. Your telepathic conversation is very important to us. ] He's not in our immediate range, so he's currently out of the City. We'd look farther, but we'd need Cerebra, or something equivalent.

Haha I'm all sane don't even try to look too deep okay. [ if he paces, he realizes, it hurts less. ] Okay.

[ he listens to the extra track with a grimace. thanks, girls. jesus. ]

I think he must have gone since he was in the lab with me right before, hope he's okay, I know the guy he'll be okay. What's happenin'? [ keep it together, madison. keep it together. ] Issit a Lachesis thing again? I know everyone wants to blame her but I don't, but is it?

Don't worry. We don't judge. None of the interesting people have all their pieces in place.

[ no problem, mutantbro. ]

Possibly. Can't exactly rule anything out, what with what passes for "normal". [ mental scoff. ] Even around here.

Oh, you've stopped moving. Thank you, that does make things easier.

Just tiring is all. All this crap and I don't get half of it and maybe when I was a twenty-somethin' but now this is just confusin' and hell I miss the X-Men, the real, real X-Men not this BS of mostly-normals here and only ten or less x-genes total. [ wincing... ] Uuugh. Uuugh.

[ not sure what to say mind still blurgh... ]

Are there a lot of heads like ours right now?
