[Clamor, still in shock as Lucifer frees him from the airbag... but also] Huh... that's a pretty handy safety feature...

[he's fine.

the car is not fine, tho. rip the toyota corolla but the bus is the better size for this group anyway, let its death not be in vain... Clamor is just gonna try to open the door and shakily get out of the car and maybe someday he'll be brave enough to try driving again.

opening the door on Narumi's side before realizing he got knocked out, Clamor will at least try to catch him if he falls out rip]

[notsosou]

[The horror movie monster vibe continues as one scarm's fingers rest on the lip of the broken window like a kilroy paw while the other slithers in like an eyeless snake and starts fumbling around for the door handle on the other side with some patting around. Shin himself is just staring into the window with an expression partway between deadpan and incredulous.]

...Helena's fine, Sara. He just missed us.

[IT WAS WAY TOO CLOSE and he's fine as well, thanks for asking but no hhhh he's not going to think about what would have happened if Helena did get hit lets place that in the box of more things to have nightmares about at 3am.

The scarm finds the handle and Shin pulls his head out as it tugs it open, moving back in to the doorway and then Lucifer yells and he freezes like a deer in headlights or someone caught stealing from the kitchen at midnight halfway through the motion.]

I-I... it was that! [Pointing at the scarf which is very much attached to him and is still holding the door open with his free hand. He's just full on panicked this came out of left field he's not prepared okay he actually is going to die actually this must be what a heart attack feels like.] I didn't have anything to do with it!

[carpevinum]

[im crying shin im so sorry sweetie

Lucifer rubs his temples with his index fingers.]

...I apologise for frightening you.

[He's just going to... get out of the car... maybe driving with Clamor reminds him a bit of having to teach Asmo to drive a little bit it's fine he only had several heart attacks, he's an old man.

Lucifer proceeds to try to help with Narumi at least, and with Clamor who's presently in shock it seems...

...

He picks up Narumi under one arm like luggage, slings Hikaru's unconscious ass over that same shoulder with the other, and then lifts Clamor with his free hand also like a luggage. This is so much.]

I suppose we take the bus, then.

[decrypter]

[i'm so sorry guys Helena has just booked it a ways up the street to find something adequate to hide behind. a newsstand or something. when you stop trying to kill her she'll come back.]

[commences]

( the wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round...

going to be driving off, maybe, but he's jk so he stops not too far ahead. )

[carpevinum]

[Oh look at that a convenient bus that was jacked by Komaeda. All aboard! Lucifer walks onto the bus and starts setting people down in seats like the luggage they all are.

Someone should go get Helena while he's setting everyone down and wrapping wings around Clamor I'm sorry he's like this.]

[notsosou]

[Okay he's... not actually going to die... phew. His heart rate's slowly coming down at the apology and he can gather up the ruined scraps of his composure.]

...let's just get on the bus.

[Which is... rapidly leaving thanks Komaeda. He's going to swivel his head and look for Helena because doing headcounts is just his habit now. He'll go over to where she's hiding and ask quietly if she's okay (the answer is obviously no but you have to ask) and come back with her to and onboard the bus if she's amenable.]

[samuraiwomen]

[ Dog...dog! She has a dog! Sitting on the bus with a cute dog! Ignoring Komeada with a gun! Sou...Helena...get back here soon!!! ]

[commences]

( manifesting everyone on this bus because komaeda's yanking the hand piece that brings up the stop sign so that his toddlers (helena and shin) can get on board. )

Where are we going?

[sunstead]

[Clamor probably muttering some apologies to everyone as he's dragged onto the bus like he's sorry, he tried his best... he won't crash a car again he's very sorry...

leans into his cozy wing pillow as he prays Komaeda is better at driving than he is]

[carpevinum]

[Komaeda is not a better driver than you, Clamor, don't worry about it. We're all going to die here.]

[decrypter]

[thank you Shin, you're the best presence in this group that could have approached her barring Komaeda Nagunto over there. clinging a little to the scarf arm, her heart hasn't fully stopped fear-glowing by the time she gets back on, but she's put together enough.]

There's a large building that by my estimate is a ways down that direction, over there.

[assume she's gesturing in the directions she means, drawing the world's vaguest map with her arms.]

It shouldn't be terribly far off, but we'll need to be a little bit patient.

[commences]

( he's not too sure what happened out there because he wasn't paying attention, but maybe there's like three people on the bus that are hiding under the chairs to grab ankles or something. they're going to re-hijack this bus, so help them god.

it's with helena's description, he'll nod, but he hasn't put the bus into drive yet. )

Chidouin-san, it's your turn to drive.

[samuraiwomen]

Why are you quoting Keiji...?

[ Nice try...trying to steal this dog from her! You villain. ]

... [ Ok fine...she does want to drive a bus, so she offers Komeada the very adorable spitz. Treat him well. Did you know Japan's legal driving age is 18? But also Sara's dad is insane and let her practice underage. ]

Fine! I'll show you the power of someone who's studied for a full year to pass their drivers test!

[ She wants to go get raman, but she will reluctantly follow Helena's instructions to the final location. ]

[notsosou]

[HE WISHES BUSES HAD SEAT BELTS oh wait scarf. Truly handy. Just gonna loop the one Helena's not holding around the seat. Don't kill them Sara he believes in you but also.]

[carpevinum]

[DON'T PEOPLE WHO DRIVE BUSSES HAVE TO GET LIKE A CERTIFICATION TO DRIVE A BUS WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM A CAR SARA ARE WE GOING TO DIE?]

[samuraiwomen]

[ You're all going down with her. ]

[commences]

( having a grand ole time as he tries and unlock the latch on top of the bus. )

[sunstead]

[Clamor, meanwhile, the only one more at ease now that Sara is behind the wheel

he believes in her!!]

[carpevinum]

[holding clamor like "I'm not letting you die on me again"]

Final Destination

[adsum]

[ It would have been fine, though, if somebody were dying, because the bus pulls up to the location Helena specifies and they find themselves in front of the local hospital.

Also imagine that at some point during the whole car-jacking thing, Hanako told them he's going to do his own scouting around and then ditches them, so all my npcs are incapacitated in some capacity, but he leaves one of his floating souls behind in case they need him for anything. They won't need him. They're going great. I believe in you guys. ]

[adsum]

[ somehow they do not die ]

[carpevinum]

[Oh holy fuck they all made it. Alright. Lucifer picks up Narumi, Hikaru, and Clamor like luggage again and just walks off the bus calmly like Sara wasn't taking turns at 70 MPH or whatever.

Let's go to the hospital~]

[notsosou]

[I want you to know that whenever Sara shaved several minutes off his life by stopping suddenly or taking one of those 70mph turns too tightly Shin was reflexively doing the mom arm with Helena and then trying to play it off every single time thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Hospital!]

[samuraiwomen]

[ She got you all to this hospital in one piece and in record time, and this is how you repay her, even in your thoughts?

She did a really good three point turn when she parked here and nobody even complimented her on it.

She only hit two cars. ]
