THE LONELY CITY | DAY 5
Choose Your Own School Bus Adventure!
Code



It was a great plan. It was a simple plan. It was a plan doomed to failure.

Or was it?

When the high school bell rang, signaling the change of classes after first period, Loki was outside with his "commandeered" school bus. He said commandeered but, honestly, did any of the locals really care? No one stopped him. Nor did they stop any of the Derleth students from racing out of the building and climbing aboard. Heck! They didn't even question Eddie who decided to wear his normal clothes to work. Or a raccoon wearing a vest of explosive devices. That probably should have been a hint as to how this field trip would turn out. But Loki promised the kids an adventure. And Loki always (well, usually) kept his promises.




But this isn't your normal everyday school bus adventure. This is a Choose Your Own School Bus Adventure! That means you get to decide how this ill-fated (or not?) fiasco turns out.

How This IC/OOC Will Work

1) Characters can interact with each other as normal under the headings. Just be sure to label if it's a closed scene/conversation or open to others!

2) If you reply with an open-ended action, you will receive a choice based on the circumstances which will dictate the direction of the field trip. For example:

Player Posts: Loki Laufeyson forgot Mischief the Kitten in the principal's office at the school.
Response: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CHOICE!
Choice #1: Loki turns the bus around and goes back to the school to retrieve Mischief.
Choice #2: Loki decides to leave Mischief behind and tells Eddie to keep driving to the edge of the city.

3) This plot is not relegated to students and staff. There are opportunities for other characters to hitch a ride or run into the school bus team. Keep a look out for those headers if you want to be involved!

Dustin shifts in his seat so the backpack remains lodged safely behind him. "Uh, no. I'm saving this seat for someone. She'll be here in a minute."

You tried your best to be polite, Dustin! But choosing not to share your backpack with this kid just initiates his motor mouth.

"Really? Who? I don't see anyone? What's her name? Does she go to school with us? Is she in our class? Maybe she's late. I bet her parents didn't sign the permission slip. My parents signed the permission slip. I can't wait to go to the museum. It's going to be so much fun. Maybe we can hang out together at the museum and look at the exhibits together. Your friend can come too. Maybe she can sit behind us. It's good to make new friends, you know. Or is she your girlfriend? Is that why you're saving a seat for her? Because she's your girlfriend? Are you going to hold hands? Have you made it to second base yet? I don't know what that means. I'm not allowed to play sports. Sports are dangerous. I'm not allowed to have a girlfriend either. Girlfriends are dangerous. Actually, so are school buses. Do you think the janitor has a license to operate this vehi-"

TIME TO MAKE ANOTHER DECISION!

MAYBE SHOWING THIS KID THE STUFF IN YOUR BACKPACK WILL GET HIM TO LEAVE YOU ALONE. YOU CAN TRY IT!

OR YOU CAN PICK ANOTHER SEAT.


The kid slurps his cola. Then continues talking without taking a breath.

(Upon checking with Dy)

Jon's going to notice this going on and walk up to the seat, take the prattling NPC by the back of the shirt, and pulling him out into the aisle with a glare.

"You're in my seat, nerd. Scram."

Once the space is open he'll slide into the seat and look back to the loud kid, staring him down. He doesn't know Dustin but he'll sit with him if it will move the the kid on.

And here comes Eleven going up the stairs to the bus. There's Eddie at the driver's seat. She gives him a nod of acknowledgment before her eyes tick over to Dustin and the boy sitting next to him.

"Am I late?"

"We've not left yet."

Jon will glance between Dustin and Eleven, sizing up the situation. El seems more present behind the eyes than the last kid but he's not about to assume.

"You are the one for whom he is saving the seat?"

She pauses, shrugging her backpack onto her other shoulder. Eleven nods.

"He's my friend. I'm Eleven."

"I'll move." He rolled back up, pulling his bag over his shoulder and sidling out of the seat he had just aggressively claimed. He glanced over his shoulder to mentally mark the nearest vacant seat.

"I'm Jon."

Dustin lets out a breath of relief. "Thanks, Jon," he says. "I'm Dustin. That was a timely rescue on your part. Uh, maybe we should stick together in case he comes back?"

He motions to the seat behind he and Eleven. Jon seems like one of those cool kids to keep on your side.
