The Traveling Meme

You're on your way from point A to point B, and you've chosen one of the many forms of communal conveyance to do so! Let's see what your trip looks like today.

Train: The Orient Express if you're feeling fancy, your standard intercity line if you're not, but no matter how humble the train there's always a little bit of romance to the rail.
Plane: It may be the type of travel we least look forward to. Go ahead and stuff your character in coach--unless they're one of the blessed few who can afford knee room in business class.
Ship: The heyday of the grand passenger liners, a tall ship (preferably with a star to steer her by), or the ferry.
Bus: Whether it's a school bus, a Greyhound, or your regular commuter ride... we know you're not wearing the seatbelt like you're supposed to.
Stagecoach: Some old-timey fun!
Airship: Listen, JRPGs had it right when they decided these should be a normal thing.
Spaceship: For that sci-fi feel! To boldly get Ubered where no one has Ubered before.

Scenarios

I brought a book for a REASON: You're just trying to make this journey in peace and quiet but for the person in the seat next to you....
Stalled: Well, now you're really not there yet, because your mode of transport has stopped working--thrown a wheel or can't get off the tarmac or lost the breeze. Better figure out something to do in the meantime.
Stand and deliver! Dammit, it's bandits, or robbers, or some other kind of ne'er do well--or maybe you're the one pulling the heist.
Running: Not literally, obviously, but you're trying to get away from something bad. Let's hope it's not catching up to you a few seats down....
Disaster! This isn't just inconvenient, it's catastrophic! Good thing you're here to save the day, right? ...Right?
Actually having a nice time: It's just pleasant to sit and look out windows while someone else does the steering, you know?

[ Kakyoin's experience traveling has been... rough. He's been in two plane crashes, a submarine crash, a boat accident (maybe one and a half, do you count the ship that wasn't really a ship after all?) and so on, so it's fair to say he has a little travel anxiety and will enjoy talking with anyone to keep his mind off of things... ]

( ota, 15+ if shipping. comes from a magus family that specializes in hunting supernaturals. )

(( woooooould you be interested in hunting or heckling (or anything-ing) a supernatural on a train or ship, perhaps? ))

[ Any interest in crossing paths with an eccentric exorcist on a train? ]

(( ooc: ~~Why would Five even use public transport? Or transport period.~~ Would you like an empath who's gonna be very overwhelmed being around people, but also able to pick up on Five's emotions? Also hello I am

[Bare bones about her: sarcastic seer with a tendency to find trouble, or have trouble find her. More in-depth information about her is here]

[Voicetesting. Please be gentle. Especially here for AUs where she survives (either by not dying from the gunshot or by waiting), or where she survives and goes with the Hargreeves on their time travel apocalypse ending journeys.]
