WE LIKE TO PARTY

[grimgrinningghosts]

[There once were some worlds that worked so hard, there was just no time to play. But that will all changed when a weird bus pulls up one day.

Your character is going to be in the middle of whatever, at their home, on a mission, dying, whatever...when they’re approached by the giant Moron Mountain Party Bus. Approached is a strong word when it seems determined to reach your character at all costs, crashing through walls or blending in, whatever necessary.

Once the bus approaches and your character has taken notice of it, the doors open. You have three options here.

1. You can board the bus willingly, upon which the bus will close it’s doors drive/fly/dive towards it’s next pickup.
2. Be hypnotically entranced beyond your free will and dance on to the bus, thanks to the actually-hypnotic tones of ”We Like To Party” which the bus will play should you choose not to willingly board.
3. Have your character get pulled onto the bus by a giant cartoon hand that emerges from the top of it, grabbing and tossing your character on.

Once they’re on, you’ll realize the interior of the party bus is fairly luxurious. There’s a pole, a couple of drinks stashed next to one of the couches, and a disco ball. A few TV monitors hang around too, broadcasting some basketball game (but there’s a remote right there). There’s clearly someone wanting to keep you comfortable, but...who?

It’ll be of less comfort when you realize the bus doesn’t have a driver or a steering wheel, and as soon as you stepped on, all of your powers and weapons were rendered useless. It’s ominous, but hey, there’s drinks.



(ooc: Welcome to Foolish Mortals’ Non-Disney Round! You won’t arrive at Moron Mountain until the host intro log, so your bios and the locations haven’t come into play yet. If you or your character would want anything aboard the massive party bus within reason, feel free to assume it’s there, as it’s obviously pretty luxurious. The bus pick-ups happen in the following order, ICly:

1. Morty Smith
2. Boss Baby
3. Otis
4. Wabuu
5. Ginger
6. Fizzy
7. Willy Wonka
8. Coraline Jones
9. Gandhi
10. Cleo
11. The Little Girl
12. Audrey
13. Penny Poledina
14. Beth Tezuka
15. Beetle
16. Kubo
17. Spongebob Squarepants
18. Aquaman
19. Bender
20. Samurai Jack
21. Dinobot
22. Zhu Li Moon
23. Sarah Lynn
24. Bojack Horseman
25. Centipeedle
26. Dan Backslide ]

[More humans, and this one looked a bit more at ease than the others.]

I assumed that there would be a much greater panic.

[Half the people here are partying. What gives?]

[notthebattleship]

They aren't here voluntarily?

[From the looks of it, everyone's having the time of their lives.]

[codeofhero]

[A low snarl at the back of this throat.] I swear by the Allspark, if I was the only one that didn't get onto this vehicle by choice...

[Well, he's not sure what he'll do. Grump about it, maybe.]

[notthebattleship]

[Don't call her out like this.]

So they want us to enter whether we want to or not.

[Okay. Sure. She's arguing with some kind of lizard.]

Then no one here knows where were going.

[codeofhero]

[He will call out whoever he pleases he's kind of petty]

I have yet to find someone who does, or cares to know. For all we know, this ship could be flying us directly into the sun.

[notthebattleship]

I'd be impressed if it could.

[She'd die, but she doesn't sound all that bothered.]

[codeofhero]

Yes, do applaud its efforts when it does. I would rather be in the cold reaches of space by then.

[At least there he may have a chance.]

There must be an exit on this thing.

[notthebattleship]

If we wait for the doors to open to the next passenger, we can run out.

[That'll work. She turns around to face the doors. Any minute now. Any minute now.]

...You haven't tried that yet?

[codeofhero]

[Any... minute now.]

It... was a plan I was in the process of making. [no.] But who can tell how many more of us shall be taken, or from where.

[notthebattleship]

[The bus is getting a bit crowded. Zhu Li might be the last person.]

It's worth a shot- [oh wait what does she call you]

[codeofhero]

[...hrm. Well, if introductions are really in order-]

My name is Dinobot. For the foreseeable future, I may be in charge of this escape attempt.

[Because that's what it is now. An operation.]

[notthebattleship]

Zhu Li.

[And she'll follow his lead. While standing in the aisle without leaning against the walls.

…

She does not make for a good conversation partner.]

[codeofhero]

[He takes up a position right in front of the door, because he doesn't care if anyone walks into him. They'd better not. He's a dinosaur.]

...

Yeah he's not great at this either. What is he great at? Complaning.]

What is taking so long? Surely there must be more!

[notthebattleship]

It can be difficult to navigate across realms, sir.

[Oh boy this is just like work.]

[codeofhero]

[Excuse you, he has twice the style. Varrick, that is. Dinobot is a mess.]

I am well aware of that! I've done this before.

[notthebattleship]

Piloted a vehicle to other worlds?

[codeofhero]

I was part of a crew piloting a battle cruiser, yes. Not only did we pilot it through space, but through time as well.

[notthebattleship]

[...okay, sure.]

So you understand the best ways to escape.

[codeofhero]

[Look, time traveling dinosaurs are the least of your worries.]

I know that there are few options of escape. The main option would be to take over control of this vehicle from the driver... but, as you can likely see, there is no driver.

[hmmmm....] The other option would be opening this door... although, I doubt you would enjoy the results of that.

[notthebattleship]

If you're offering, go ahead.

[codeofhero]

Oh certainly. I do hope you enjoy suffocating in the cold reaches of space.

[The sarcasm is pretty thick in his tone.]

[notthebattleship]

[She folds her hands together as if she's daring to open that door.]

[codeofhero]

[He doesn't say a word. He simply stands back and lets his body shift into a taller, more humanoid form. Pieces and parts switch around, the former raptor's head finds a place on his chest. It's all very nice animation, if you grew up in the 90s.

He walks over to the bus door, and once more tries to pry it open.



It's not working, but he puts his muscle into it.]

[notthebattleship]

[W h a t

He's a machine now. The lizard turned into a machine.

She spends a lot of time forcing herself to accept this to be real, and by then Dinobot has surely given up on letting them die in the cold dark void that is space.]

It's...holds together well. [Oh my god maybe saying something will ground her.]

[codeofhero]

[Honestly, he wasn't even really going to try. Because he developed an annoying little thingy called a "conscience" during his time as a Maximal. It's wild.]

Hmm, yes. [He turns back to her, easily holding together better than she is.] It was obviously made to contain people and relieve them of their weapons. Breaking out may be impossible... for the moment.
