*Resists Urge to Call RP "Are We There Yet"*

(Alright; this is totally unexpected and out-of-the-blue... xD)

Name: Samantha (Skull)
Brief Personality Description: Generally friendly and fun, but with a sort of attitude. Her favorite food is burritos of any kind.
Anything Else?: She is the drummer and leader of "Skulltimate"; an extremely over-the-top, heavy rock band consisting of four members, including herself. Like the other members of her band, she dons a highly-flashy costume, hers having a twisted skeletal theme.

Name: Alexa (Dracolady)
Brief Personality Description: Somewhat like Skull, but with more emphasis on the "attitude" as opposed to the "friendly". Also, somewhat darker and more "twisted" (or so she says; she's a bit over-the-top). Lately, she's somehow gotten a hold of a strange old spell-book, which she doesn't take seriously; this often leads to trouble when she messes around with the spells it contains, as she occasionally pronounces them correctly, causing them to actually work. Like Skull, she loves burritos.
Anything Else?: She is Skulltimate's guitarist, and her costume has a draconic theme, complete with huge wings.

(That's right; these are some OCs of ours that were actually created years ago. They're undergoing a huge overhaul, however, so don't be too surprised if they suddenly "morph" mid-RP. xD Misty's half of the band is soon to follow~)

Name: Mandy (Spikey)
Brief Personality Description: Gentle and laid-back, she is easily the softest member of Skulltimate. She has a notable love for food; though her favorite is the same as Skull and Dracolady- burritos.
Anything Else?: She is Skulltimate's bassist, and her costume includes many large spikes.

Name: Tracey (Triceralady)
Brief Personality Description: Very similar to Dracolady, her best friend in the group. Her favorite food is in fact... not burritos, but instead eggs.
Anything Else?: She is the lead singer of Skulltimate. Her costume has a triceratops-themed look.

Suddenly, in a random puff of smoke, more travelers appeared on the bus with the others.
"... Aw man!" exclaimed one with short black hair tipped with bright green, clad in armor, scales, claws, and wings. "Did that actually work?!"
"Did what actually work...?" asked one with short, bright-green hair, only her narrowed eyes visible through the eye-holes of her horned skull mask.

"It must have...!" exclaimed another, scratching at the top of her helmet, which sported three horns and a flashy frill. A grin then appeared on her face. "That's so cool...!"
The fourth one, with black and red hair and spiked armor of the same color, appeared to be currently speechless.

"Ah, y'know," the draconic one responded to her masked friend, "that dusty old book... I went and read one of the weird "spells" in it aloud like a sorceress or something, just to mess around. Huh. Who knew that it really worked?"
Haku stared back at these newcomers in slight horror. "T-t-they look tough," she murmured to those beside her, sinking down. "D-d'you think they're... evil...?"

Roseblossom hissed and backed away from the newcomers.

The one donning a horned helmet spoke up again once her friend had finished explaining. "Sweet... You should try that more often." she laughed.
The one in the spiked armor noticed Roseblossom out of the corner of her eye and turned to face the pinkish cat. "Aw... Hello." She greeted with a mellow tone.
"I... I'm not sure..." Nagisa stammered quietly in response to Haku, also sinking down as she nervously glanced in the direction of the newcomers.

"You do realize that we're somewhere totally unfamiliar WITHOUT our tour bus, right??" asked the skull-masked one, sounding a little irritated.
Cookie actually looked quite thrilled. "Those guys... I know about them!" she explained. "They're a rock band... And they play like CRAZY! They have skill. Lots and lots of skill."

"Oh, um, hi." Roseblossom mewed.

"Well... Yeah, of course...!" the helmet-wearing one responded, glancing down at her boots for a moment to hide her slightly nervous expression as she realized how lost they might be.
The spiked armor-bearing one proceeded to kneel down in an effort to appear less intimidating to Roseblossom. "I'm sorry if we've startled you..." She whispered.
Nagisa began to look slightly less terrified upon hearing Cookie's explanation. "Ohh... So, they're not evil?"

The draconic-looking one simply shrugged. "Hey, whatever; we can just call our bus driver once we stop somewhere that has a payphone... They still exist, right? Payphones?"
Cookie laughed. "Of course not! They just dress like monsters and stuff because it goes with the kind of music they play; heavy, loud, awesome stuff!" She then proceeded to name each of the newcomers, pointing to each as she mentioned them. "The one with the skeleton-type outfit's their drummer; "Skull"... That one who has the huge triceratops helmet is their lead singer; "Triceralady"..." After mentioning Triceralady's name, she couldn't help chuckling a little at how weird it sounded before continuing. "Ah; the one who's dressed like some kind of dragon... warrior... thing... is their guitarist; "Dracolady"... And the heavily-armored one with all the huge spikes and stuff is their bassist; "Spikey"."

Roseblossom heard Cookie, and although not knowing what a "rock band" was, she decided that they weren't a threat. "Well, it's okay, 'Spikey'."

"Payphones...? I think so." Triceralady responded, returning her gaze to her draconic-looking friend. "Let's just hope there's one around here somewhere..."
"That's good..." a smile appeared on Spikey's face as she reached out a hand to pet Roseblossom's rosy fur.
"Oh... Wow." Nagisa chuckled softly, looking much more at ease after Cookie had explained the ways of the newcomers.
Meiko, who had also been listening to Cookie, turned her head around to see these unfamiliar faces for herself. At the sight of their over-the-top costumes, her jaw slowly dropped in shock.

Haku turned around to see the quartet again. "So they're music people... Maybe I could get to know 'em..."

Princess Daisy backed away, wondering whether the newcomers were safe or dangerous. "Hi...I'm...Daisy," she mumbled.

"Ooh! OK, what are some of your albums? What are your hit titles?.....Can I make music boxes out of them?" The Mayor asked curiously.

Noah slowly awoke on the bus and saw, among other things, a cat, a princess, and a rock quartet.

"Ugh, OK, there are 2 possible explanations for this. Either I'm dreaming, or this is the setup for another season of Total Drama. Let's hope the first option's the correct one."

Noah pulled out his favorite book and waited to see just where this bus would take him.

Dracolady scoffed. "Waiiitwaitwaitwait. Music boxes?" She cracked a smirking grin. "Sorry, man; you can't go and do that to our tunes."
Skull shot Dracolady a slightly-venomous look.

The catlike creatures glanced around confusedly, and Geno bent down to stroke one reassuringly before standing back up and smiling. "Well, hello, there," he introduced. "I'm Geno."

Princess Daisy took a seat next to a small boy who was reading a book, not caring about the newcomers.

"Hi, I'm Daisy!"

Geno turned around, and, with a smile at the other newcomer, asked: "I think you've heard I'm Geno; who are you?"

Noah still believed that the bus was carrying new contestants to the next season of Total Drama. But in that case, who were these strangers? Where were Owen, Izzy, Katie, Sadie, Trent, Eva, Cody, Tyler or Sierra? Seriously, he'd even take someone like Alejandro. At least he'd recognize him. Instead he got a princess and a wooden...doll... thing. "This is going to be one bizarre season." Noah thought.

"Um, my name's Noah." he said, not looking up from his book. "Haven't you seen seasons 1 or 3? Can't play dodgeball, skilled at scavenger hunts, doesn't like getting involved in drama, never really lasts too long in the competition, ring a bell?"

Princess Daisy smiled. "Um...no," she said with a sigh. "Are you on television, or something?"

The Mayor's eyes went wide, and he hopped up and started scouring the bus for a camera.

"Uh, yeah." Noah said, a little confused now. "Total Drama, the reality show. Didn't you audition for it? I thought that's where this bus was taking us."

Noah was a bit creeped out now. How did he just happen to wake up on a bus with these people? And where was it going, if not to a new season of competition?
