The wheels on the bus go-- OH MY GOD JENNY THERE ARE BRAKES USE THEM
Who: Anyone on the vans and/or big tourbus shuttling volunteers to Olivine City.
Where: ROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP
When: May 23rd
Summary: Hey. Hey volunteers. It's time for a ~*~~*~
Rating: G-PG13 depending on the level of profanity reached every time Officer Jenny careens around a corner way too quickly.
Log:
It's raining.
To put it more accurately, it's pouring.
And to top it all off, there is a sleeping old man sitting at the very back of the bus (or van, as the case may be) with his head back and his mouth wide open, making the most cringe-inducing racket any being has ever made in its sleep, barring nightmare-induced screaming or something. Why is he there? Who knows. He was there before any of the volunteers being shuttled to Olivine City boarded their vehicles of choice, and he will probably stay there long after they get off at their destination. Maybe he will always be there. He is the Man You Don't Want to Sit Next to On Public Transportation (tm)and his presence defies the laws of space and time.
Regardless, no matter how much racket is coming from that last seat, nothing seems to be dampening the spirits of the driver, who turns away from the rain-blurred windshield and back to face the passengers once all the seats are full with a bright, chipper grin that borders ever-so-slightly on the unhinged.
It's another one of the many near-identical Officer Jennies, although this one looks far too excited about the prospect of a several-hours-long road trip through pouring rain. As a matter of fact, her earrings are little raindrops. How... appropriate. Her hair seems just a little crazier than most of her cousins (sisters? ... clones??), and she has a faithful Treecko lying across the back of her seat.
"What a fine group of young men and women! Volunteering to help the citizens of Olivine like that! I admire your spunk, taking the time out of your day to do a good deed!"
She beams.
"It'll take us a good few hours to get there, but don't worry, there'll be plenty of mud to dig in once we arrive!"
Turning back to the wheel, she lets the Treecko scamper down her arm and man the stick-shift-- yes, these vehicles are stick. And yes, she is letting the Pokemon help her drive.
"Off we go! It's time to take chances, make mistakes, and GET MESSY!"
With the force and enthusiasm that only overly-cheerful-and-possibly-crazy people seem to have, the Jenny slams her foot down on the gas and sends the party (or parties-- yes, she will be saying a variation of this speech to every single group of people she drives) off on a bumpy, swervy, and way-too-fast start to their journey to Olivine.
With luck and possibly a few prayers to Arceus, the volunteers may survive until they roll to a stop in Olivine.
[ooc: Sorry this came a little late, guys! This is an OPEN LOG, so anyone going to Olivine can feel free to start their own threads, mingle, whatever! Freak out at Jenny's TOTALLY INSANE driving, scoot around and try to avoid the snoring man, make conversation/argue/start rap battles/play the 'I'M NOT TOUCHING YOUUUU' game with your fellow passengers, or maybe just drive everybody else crazy by starting a round of "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall". ALL IS FAIR GAME.]

And with another veer, Shinn is going to grip the side so as to not cause another damage to any parts of his body.
"...How did they let her drive this thing anyways?"
no subject
Eep, that was a dangerous turn. And by dangerous we mean that in no way a van should be driving in an alley that is barely two centimeters wider than the width of the van.
no subject
Shinn whispered back to to Lion as the van got into another bumpy road
no subject
"Oh, it's surprising what some connections can do." Oh boy. Wasn't it.
no subject
Heaving a sigh, Shinn hopes that this trip ends prematurely due to the van breaking down or something.
no subject
They are not fortunate enough, as the van takes another crazy turn before coming to a halt with a screech, waiting a few seconds before starting the ride once more.
"I wonder if they all drive in the same way."
no subject
Was Shinn's answer as he is saddened by the very brief stop being... very brief rather than the salvation he had hoped for.
no subject
This wasn't the worst thin ever, really (that dubious honor went to 'being attacked by man eating cats'), but it was certainly pretty terrible on itself.
"Let's hope it doesn't take much longer."
no subject
And with that, Shinn's going to reach into his backpack, and gets out another book he's going to lend to the person besides him.
'How to take care of a headstrong partner.'
no subject
Lion took the book with a sigh.
"It worries me that you had this. Has your partner been difficult, Shinn-san?" Somehow Lion managed to avoid tacking a 'too' at the end of the question. Lion was also a difficult partner in a way, so complaining about Will was pretty much wrong.
no subject
Like kicking him in the face, for example.
no subject
Lion could easily think of two or three things in Shinn's personality that could cause problems or misunderstandings.
Not that Lion would ever speak of that.
"Hopefully it will help you."
no subject
Shinn says as the ride finally is smooth, even though for a short while. Leaning back to his seat, he is going to try sleeping, or at least rest before they finally reach Olivine.
no subject
Sometimes Lion wondered which one of them was the headstrong partner.
no subject
Namely, Lion.
no subject
Bringing a blanket would have been a good idea, but then again Lion didn't have that much time to make preparations, with the whole being on the road picking grandfather up.
Oh well. With that Lion's eyes go back to the book, hopefully the bumps would continue being small ones.
