(Bleh sorry if this is bad-)

Setting:

Your characters are all in a bus, and depending on how much they resist, they’re probably in restraints as well. These are the seating arrangements:

Kathy Garcia and Buba are next to each other.

Pandora Griffin and Resh Corvus are next to each other.

Kody Tsethlekai Stryker and Alexander Stryker are next to each other.

Geo Agusti is on his own.

They can all talk to each other, no matter where they’re seated. The main goal was to keep them out of trouble, and they can’t do much if they’re restrained.

There are multiple staff members in the bus, all of their faces obscured by simple white masks. They look like any common nurse or doctor, except for the tranquilizer guns that they carry.

Pandora groans and opens her eyes. She was knocked out by one of those… weird nurse people. They claimed to be helping her, they claimed this was “for her own good,” but she’s heard that all before. She isn’t that dumb, but apparently she’s dumb enough to get caught. She drowsily looks around. She’s in a bus with a bunch of random-ass people she’s never met. Great.

Pandora tries to stand up, but soon realizes she’s strapped to her seat, with her hands tied behind her back. To keep her from causing problems, most likely. These people are smart. I respect them. The people here are… very strange. There’s someone with a rose in his eye, and people with- dragon wings? What the fuck? She reaches for her gun, then curses in Russian when she realizes she doesn’t have it. Her loud cursing seems to wake up the man in the seat next to her.

Resh already knew what was happening before it happened. He had a feeling someone would have sent him somewhere. To be fair, though, he’d expected a prison. And this wasn’t a prison. He had been pretending to be unconscious, in order to trick the people who had brought him here.

Resh is just dozing peacefully, but then he’s rudely awoken by someone cursing loudly. Or at least, that’s what it sounds like, given the tone. He growls and opens his eyes, glaring at the woman beside him. “I’m not too happy about this either, but you could’ve at least let me sleep a little longer.” He stays silent for a moment, then starts looking around when he gets no response. Good, he isn’t in the mood to talk anyway. So clearly, I’m not the only one here.

After a while of observing his surroundings, Resh looks over at one of the staff members—he assumes it’s a staff member, anyways—and stares them dead in the eye. “Where are you taking us?” He sounds calm and polite, although his facial expression is the exact opposite. He rolls his eyes when he gets no response from them, either. Typical.

Of the two dark dragons, Tseth is the first to wake. The crystals grown across his face once dull now glow a bright red. He immediately tries to stand up, but is held down by his restraints. Clever. But I’ll find a way to get out, sooner or later. He quickly realizes that he is very much not alone. He looks around at everyone with a piercing red-eyed stare. A couple take his interest immediately. The man with a rose in his eye, and the woman cursing in his own language. And of course, Alex, who was still unconscious and leaning against him. Interesting… almost none of these strangers wear their wings or capes. He looks down at Alex and nudges his side lightly. ”Просыпайся, дорогая.” (“Wake up, dearest.”)

Alex quickly wakes, raising his head up and looking at Tseth before looking around at everyone else and glaring. He’s especially wary of the staff members, edging closer to Tseth the best he can with his own restraints. He replies, assuming that only Tseth can understand their language. “Где это место, Коди?” (“Where is this place, Kody?”) He only gets a shake of a head in return, which both meant he didn’t know and to keep quiet. Alex looks around again and then starts struggling against his hand restraints slightly.

(I would like to add. If you want one or two of the staff to die, call Kathy by his legal name Kathrine. He'll kill anyone who uses that name. Literally hunt them down. Also don't let your staff be homophobic or racist or anything of that nature. Cause Kathy will gather reasons to kill. Also, dont make eye contact with Buba. Once you do it's gonna be game over unless Kathy steps in)

Kathy was minding his own business, trying to calm down the ghostly looking child next to him. The man was speaking in a mix of Spanish and Greek, hushing the hyperventilating boy. "It's ok…big brothers here. No ones gonna look at you."

The small child next to Kathy, tugs on his 'big brothers' shirt. "Eyes…eyes…" He mutters.

Kathy nods. "Si, I know…just don't look at the eyes…" He hugs the small boy, gently rocking him.

Buba, wasn't restrained at all, because the only thing that would be able to keep the boy on this bus was Kathy. Kathy was fully restrained except for his hands. Most likely to calm the child next to him. A smart move on the staffs part.

Kathy looks back to where a dark looking man was leaned over, resting his head against the window. The mans dark, curly hair was in his face, and he had his legs hugged tightly to his chest. Kathy sighs and calls out to him, "You ok, amigo?"

The man doesn't even respond, which makes Kathy frown. From the looks of it, these two also knew eachother. Or at least used to.

The darker man had no restraints at all. But this didn't seem to surprise Kathy. In fact, he was glad he wasn't restrained. Because only he knew that the other man would flip his lid if he was. He also knew how smart the man was, so he already knew what he had smuggled onto this bus. "Geo. I know how you feel…but she meant it for your own good…you know she loves you…"

Geo glares at Kathy, "I'm not in the mood." He mutters. Geo had a thick Italian accent, and he would almost say something in Italian instead of English.

Kathy sighs and nods. "Ok…I get it." He turns back to the boy next to him, keeping him close.

Geo sighs and leans back into the window. It seemed like he was perfectly fine compared to everyone else here. So why was he here? He seemed normal. Just extremely depressed. But if he was here, he obviously needed some intense help.

(Sorry for a short response-)

One of the staff members notices Alex struggling and moves a little closer to keep an eye on him. They don’t do much other than watch him, but they’re prepared to do something if it gets out of hand.

Pandora looks around and narrows her eyes, then leans her head against the window and starts softly singing a song in Russian. The song seems to have a violent theme to it, and her tone is a little a lot aggressive.

Resh looks over at Pandora again, but doesn’t say anything. He just sighs and looks around at the others. I already hate everyone here. He locks eyes with Tseth for a moment, glaring at him, then rolls his eyes again and stares out the window.
