Bus Thoughts #4 - A real adventure

Imagine being handed a note before getting on a bus which reads that you'll have an adventure with someone on this bus, whether or not you like it, and then getting on that bus. Each person, of which there are about a dozen, can be interacted with or will interact with you, and you develop some form of relationship. Some people leave, some get on, then you get off at your stop and have a normal day.

Or you were supposed to. From then on your actions on the bus play a heavy role on your life, and curiosity, or survival, love or hatred drive you forward. Maybe not everyone shows up, maybe some people play bigger roles than others, but wouldn't that be a truly dynamic game? Scripted spontaneity. It's a beautiful idea.
