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.

Yeah, me too. Nothing else on my dice works, so there was a pretty good chance this place completely nerfed them. But looks like I've still got all the luck.

[Her eyes scan the landscape below. Still no exits.]

See anything that looks like a way out?

[Nill wasn't sure how much she believed in luck. Heine's intervention in her life had been lucky, maybe, but this? She couldn't decide if she wanted to believe in something that could change so easily. But if it worked for Vriska, she'd make an exception until they left.

The blonde squints, looking around. Don't think about how much it hurts, Nill.]


No. Do you?

[Vriska shakes her head, face set in a frown. This entire situation doesn't look promising, luck or not. Luck won't magically make an exit appear. Luck can only work so long to keep them alive until they're exhausted and can't run anymore. But she's not giving up. She's going to get Nill out alive no matter the cost.]

Not yet. There's got to be one though. We came in so we have to be able to get back out.

[If Nill knew what Vriska was thinking, she might call her stupid for it. The blonde was already pretty sure she was going to die--there was no reason for Vriska to get dragged down with her. She fully expected to eventually get dropped into the mess of--whatever was following them. The troll would be better off without her.

These thoughts weren't that easy to shove away.]


You are right. We will find something.

Maybe it's back near the scuttle buggy.

[She glances down and behind her, and there's no way she's just going to turn around and head the other way. Not to mention she isn't really sure what direction the bus even is anymore. But at least she has an idea of what to start looking for. She'll gradually turn her path to do a long turn around that won't set them straight in harms way of the spider.]

[Nill isn't sure which direction it is either. She can't really even bring herself to think about it because she's too busy concentration on her breathing and keeping it from sounding too ragged.]

Maybe there will be other people there too.

Probably. Dunno how they'll feel about a gargantuan spider, though. Whatever, it's worth a try, right?

[She thinks she's heading back the way they came, but she's not really sure. The entire expanse of land all sort of looks the same in every direction and she hadn't realized that flown so far away.]
