This is it. The cast are all pumped, having all boarded their tour bus earlier today, and are now on their way to their first concert venue, in San Francisco! While some are skeptical, still in disbelief that they’re loved by so many, others are feeling far more positive, and are ready to grab their mics and get out on that stage. Ryan Murphy, in the bus up ahead, has just cracked open a bottle of champagne, and is celebrating the upcoming tour with his fellow creators and colleagues. His bus has just driven through a long tunnel, and as he sits at the back, looking out the rear window for the bus filled with his precious cast members to emerge, too, he’s a little surprised to see a small car in it’s place. He thinks nothing of it, assuming the car overtook the bus, and goes back to drinking with his buddies.
Little does Ryan know, though, the bus won’t be showing. At first, the cast don’t know anything’s wrong. They’re aware that they’re going through a tunnel, since the outside world just became dark, but when the lights inside the bus dim, they’re all a little caught off guard. Some of the guys, and of course Heather, make ghost noises, trying to make everybody jump, and people are laughing and rolling their eyes. When the lights don’t come back on, though, they’re all a little concerned. No more so than when the feeling of the bus speeding up hits, though, and seems fast enough to make them cling to their seats. People are starting to worry, unsure of what’s going on, and a couple unsure screams can be heard, before everything goes black. There’s silence in the bus, and no crashing outside. They haven’t crashed, but everybody is somehow unconscious, with no idea what’s going on around them.
Nobody knows exactly how long they’re out, but when they slowly begin to wake one by one, they find that they’re not on the bus anymore. To begin with, they assume they’re on set, and don’t know how they got there. This place looks like the choir room set, the one back at Paramount, but it soon becomes clear that it’s not a set at all. Somehow, they piece together that they’re in the actual choir room, in WMHS. This has to be some kind of late Halloween prank, there’s no way they can be here. They’re supposed to be doing their first soundcheck tonight, this can’t be happening. They try their phones, trying to call for help, but none of them have service. What do they do now?
Now that everybody is in Lima, full group interactions can begin. You’re not going to suddenly be able to all see each other’s Tumblr posts, of course, but the cast are now in the choir room, so initial meetings can take place. There would be no reason for the characters to be at the school, given that it’s Sunday evening, and the cast don’t know the addresses of the characters, nor do they even know they’re going to be here yet, so the meetings won’t be that simple. When the cast wake up, their posts can be treated as FACE TO FACE, so please, discuss this OOC who you’re going to face to face with. The cast can get out of the school, if they dare to, and if they happen to stumble into a character while outside, that’s totally fine. Just make sure meetings are in the face to face format, too.
Despite how unrealistic this might be, we’re going to ask everybody to be as realistic about this as possible. They’re meeting their doubles, people are going to freak out and be apprehensive, but we can make it work! Everything from here is totally up to you. Please also note, they can bump into a character/cast member who is not their specific counterpart, that’s totally fine.
