WELCOME TO THE PARTY BUS...

Rise and shine, friends. Say hello to your new, sweet ride. All your friends at home will be jealous when they discover what an amazing adventure you're about to have... Or maybe they won't, considering you have no idea where this bus is headed.

Though the bus has three separate decks, you will still find yourself wishing for elbow space. This is entirely unsurprising once you realize you have to share this space with 40 other individuals for the time being. All the windows are tinted black, and the door leading outside is stuck. There's no way to see where you are, or where you're headed. Furthermore, any attempts to break through the door or windows will result in tragedy... Which is to say, there will be an immediate bounce-back effect, throwing you or any projectiles aimed at the glass right back. Good luck to anyone who happens to be standing behind you!

To make matters worse, it seems that there's a lot to be desired as far as musical taste goes. The same songs play on repeat all day long. Perhaps this is meant to be some form of torture...? Maybe you have found yourself in hell, instead of your desired destination. Have a safe trip, everyone.

FIRST DECK



Painted entirely in bright blues from top to bottom, this deck was built for snacking and chatting. Though the most suspicious features are the locked bus door and the equally locked driver's cabin, you will find a kitchen, a bathroom, and a dining area for your enjoyment. There is a ladder that leads to the following deck near the driver's cabin, but you will want to watch your step. The visibility is low, and you (probably) don't want to accidentally kick anyone in the face. Perhaps this would all make for a cozy environment, if not for the music constantly playing in the background.

DRIVER'S CABIN: Next to the stairs leading to the (still locked) exit, you will find the driver's cabin. Unlike conventional buses, this cabin is completely sealed off by tinted, glass panes and a locked door. Unfortunate. Even so, you can faintly make out the outline of someone at the steering wheel. However, no matter how many times you knock, shout, or rattle the door, this person won't turn around to face you.

For whatever reason, though... Their silhouette will remind you of someone you know from your own world. Perhaps someone you haven't seen in a while, or maybe someone who was with you on your previous adventure but seems to be gone now. Whatever the case, there is no way to confirm their identity. Huh.

KITCHEN: Small and cramped, the kitchen is located just past the driver's cabin. It's equipped with cupboards, a sink, a stovetop, a small refrigerator. There is a storage area right next to it, and inside you will find a surprisingly well equipped pantry. Despite its size, it seems like you will find whatever ingredient you're looking for whenever you open the doors.

BATHROOM: The bathroom is... less of a bathroom, and more of a stall. It is a small, enclosed area that locks from the inside, with a flickering lightbulb that might remind you too much of a shoddy public restroom. It is only big enough to fit a single toilet with a cabinet directly above it. Inside this cabinet you will find: dry shampoo, wet wipes, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouth wash, and deodorant. Big yikes.

DINING AREA: At the end of this deck you can find a dining table with enough chairs and space to seat up to four people. The table comes equipped with four drawers; inside, there are games such as Monopoly, Uno, Operation, Clue, and even materials for D&D campaigns. You may as well make use of this space to bond with your fellow passengers.

SECOND DECK



Painted entirely in bright purples from top to bottom, relaxation seems to be the key here. This is the deck you want to be to kick back, grab a drink, and hang out with your friends. Or perhaps it's meant for you to make new ones? There are plenty of ways to bond with your fellow passengers on this deck, but it doesn't have to stop here. There's still another ladder that leads upward, but watch your step. The path is a bit narrow the higher you climb. Perhaps this would all make for a fun environment, if not for the music constantly playing in the background.

LIQUOR CABINET: Located toward the back of the bus, the liquor cabinet appears to be brightly lit and fully stocked with an arrangement of hard liquors, wine, beer, and even waters, juices and sodas for mixers. Another cabinet flanks it and is home to glass tumblers, mixing straws, napkins and other bar supplies. Speaking of bars, there is a bar counter in front of these cabinets equipped with four bar stools. Anyone can step behind the counter to play bartender, but please drink "responsibly."

ENTERTAINMENT AREA: The majority of this deck is home to several beanbag chairs, a couch, and a few piles of blankets. Mounted on the wall are two TVs; one appears to be hooked up to a DVD player and the other is home to a game system with four controllers. While the movie selections range from horror movies to romantic comedies, there are only two types of video games available: multiplayer racing or fighting games, and otome games. Brush up on those social skills and invite someone to join you! Perhaps the alcohol will take off the edge of embarrassment.

OUIJA BOARD...?: At the end of the bar toward the back of the bus sits a flat, wooden board. Decorated with letters, numbers, and the words YES and NO, some may recognize this as a ouija board. The planchette sits in the middle, though anyone who removes it will find themselves compelled to return it at all costs. Likewise, the board cannot be removed from the bar no matter how hard one tries. It seems as though it's waiting for you to reach out to someone...why not say hello?

THIRD DECK



Painted entirely in varying shades of grey from top to bottom, this deck is a little more sparse.

There are a few seating areas, and a dartboard or two stocked with a supply of darts; the music here is the same as the other floors, but it's all classical music covers of the same songs. The lights are a little bit dim, and the decor theme is — eclectic, to say the least? Horror movie posters hang on the walls, along with paintings of flowers and landscapes, and a few real plants scattered around. You can find a few copies of home and garden magazines along with some books if you get too bored. Perhaps this would all make for a peaceful environment, if not for the music constantly playing in the background.

SEATING AREA: Similar to the second deck, you can find mostly floor seating here, though it's less along the lines of beanbags and more like cushions & firm chair-shaped pillows — also all in grey shades. Some are a little stiff, so if you like a bit more support, you might find them comfortable! The lights over this area are a little more dim, if you'd like to try to catch a nap — a cabinet against the wall holds several neatly folded blankets, ranging from warm and comfy to thin and a little bare. Try to get to the good ones first.

GAMING AREA: Two regular dartboards hang on the far wall of the deck, each stocked with a supply of darts (yes, the pointy kind). You'll find scorecards and pencils if you'd like to keep track of who's winning, or you can just play for the sake of playing. Please put the darts back when you're finished so no one steps on them.

READING CORNER: There are two sets of low bookshelves, filled with books and magazines; the magazines are all home and garden related, while the books all appear to be from the horror genre. Some potted plants sit on top of the bookshelves too, with more pots here and there on the shelves between stacks — there are a few bunny succulents, a cactus, pansies, and an aloe plant or two.
