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.

Maybe. If you wouldn't mind.

[ She draws in a deep breath, because she's somehow coming to a strange realization. She says the next more to herself, knowing that nobody here knows of things from her world. ]

I think... Torak is coming. Is that possible?

[the question is quick, her eyebrows knit together.] Torak?

The Maimed God of the Murgos. Garion killed him, so-- [ So this is foolishness, right? Thinking that Torak might be here! She tries to shake it off. ]

This place has no gods, hm? Much less dead ones.

Sometimes gods are brought, even from death.

[hardly a comforting thing to say, but it was truth. but Ruka's attention was soon diverted, for among the structures rising from the strange space around them, that Cinderella Castle she had been so glad not to see was piercing towards the lack of a sky, dark spires and twisted architecture; the towers seemed more akin to teeth, and flags like strips of flesh clinging still to the blades that cleaved them. the gate grew colossal near her, creaking as it opened.

the hair rose on the back of Ruka's neck.
]

Torak is a bad thing, would you say?
jewelofborune: (You can't be serious.)

[ Is that a castle? Yes, that's a castle, the architecture unlike what she's used to, but a grand thing nonetheless. It doesn't seem safe, though, and-- She nods in response to the question. ]

Very bad.

[ She tilts her head up, trying to see what occupies the grounds and spires. ]

What... What's in there?

I don't know.

[ Ruka had to turn her head a bit more, to look between the stranger person and the strange castle, but still had no better answer when the gate had finally opened. She wasn't given to obvious gestures, but her shoulders moved, implying a shrug. ]

Only one way to find out, right?
