23 … tardis bus.

Setting: Alcina, Enyo, Frisk, Halle, Arie are traveling down a snow road. There are quite a few people around.

Enyo walked really fast. Or perhaps Frisk was just really slow.

Enyo: I thought you could keep up, Frisk! (calling over her shoulder)

Frisk: … My speed hasn't loaded yet today.

Enyo: ooooh so you've got like a timer, or something?

Frisk: Yes.

Enyo: Hmmm I'd like to test that out later.

Frisk: …

Amused, Alcina looked back at Frisk dragging farther behind: What do you call that, Frisk?

Frisk: … speedmatrix 9000.

Enyo: Does it come in colors?

Frisk: only in red.

Halle kept pace just behind Frisk, but she was breathing a little heavy.

Frisk: You okay?

Halle: Maybe…?

Arie watched Halle with concern: We'll be getting to a bus soon.

Halle gave a thumbs up but said nothing.

Five minutes later they approached a long grey building with a tall, long white bus outside. It had black tinted windows, and instead of tires it had a tank track.

Frisk stopped while they were still farther away to take in the sight of the vehicle, not realizing she was gaping a little. That was a huge bus.

Enyo was approaching the doors with Arie and Alcina: Short stuffs get over here!

Frisk hurried forward, and Halle groaned in dismay as she tried to pick up her legs.

Arie and Alcina had taken seats already, but Enyo had stayed near the entrance to talk to the driver… an antlered, brown furred, 6 eyed elephant.

Enyo leaned on a seat: Arrrreee you passing by Snowfort?

Driver: About 15 minutes, yeah.

Enyo: Awesome.

Driver: Those your friends?

Frisk and Halle were struggling up the tall steps of the bus.

Enyo smirked: Yeah. You know they answer to short stuffs?

Driver: Need a rest you two?

Enyo: Something about a speedomatrix 9000 needing to charge up.

Driver: Hah! Might wanna get that fixed soon then if you're traveling around with Enyo.

Halle: Uaaagh.

Driver: To keep up with her you have to be at 100%

Enyo put space between her thumb and pointer finger to show the smallest amount of space: Atleaaaaast just ninety percent!

Frisk: I'm at least at seventy percent.

Enyo: You can't fool me you sixty-nine percenter!

Enyo turned down the isle to move out of the way for Hall and Frisk, even though, there was plenty of space for two or three monsters to walk past each other down the isle. It was bigger on the inside than outside.

Frisk followed after Enyo, but she couldn't help looking away. There were so many different kinds of people! It was terribly rude, but sometimes she couldn't help staring a little. It made her wonder if she should slap herself and see if she was asleep. Although she wasn't sure how that would prove anything, considering she still felt pain in her sleep.

Arie and Alcina's voices could be heard now, but they'd walked in on the end of a conversation about light bulbs. Or… maybe it was a joke? They were laughing.

Arie: Sup? (giggles, struggling to contain herself)

Alcina: (snorts) hahaha!

The seat they sat in faced another one that was empty. Frisk sat next to Arie, while Halle and Enyo took the empty seat.

Enyo: You look so white, Frisk.

Frisk: Uh… yeah?

Enyo: You look so surprised, sorry!

Frisk looked up and down the bus for the thousandth time: I see something and someone new every day here.

Enyo: Think you'll ever run out of things to see?

Frisk: … I'm having doubts!

Enyo: That's what I'm talking about. You ever seen a talking rock before?

Frisk: A… are we talking about a radio?

And then everyone in the cubicle broke down in laughter.

Except the person who didn't understand who she'd just compared to a radio.
