Trash Squad Day 1 - GAME START

[chinhotta]

[ Maybe you were going about your business and blacked out, maybe you were dead. Either way, when you come to, you are in what looks like the entrance hall to a school, except for the very well secured front door. Before you can really get your bearings, a voice rings out on an the intercom. ]

Welcome, kiddos! —How does that sound? 'Kiddos'? Too daddy kink? Eh, let's go with it for now. Anyway, welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime chance at romance and passion, with fabulous prizes! Find love beyond the boundaries of time and space! Original concept, do not steal.

Pick up your tablets and get settled in! A little later today, we'll have our first heart-pounding get-to-know-you event!

—Oh, also, no violence allowed! I know some of you kids are into the murder thing, but that's not the kind of game we're running here.

[ In fact, there are several boxes of electronic tablets around the room. When you pick one up, it displays the gameplay and rules.]

Oh, I see.

... I'm actually relieved there's a fair number of people who don't really understand tablets well.

[since he's one of them]

[purrtagonist]

[BEING A CAT-NOT-A-CAT OWNER HIMSELF, Akira gets it. although Morgana doesn't really bite]

He sounds like a character.

. . . master?

[futurebullets]

Dire circumstances, huh...

[He doesn't want to think that somebody will try anything in spite of the rules, but perhaps it's better to just get a read on everyone else first.]

You're pretty calm about all of this, though. [He says it with a smile.] It'd be hard for some to hold it together, even if violence is forbidden, but it's good that it isn't getting to you too much.

[sunbottles]

[Everything is wrong with her.

But that's no fun for a conversation.]

Ehehe, well, I mean... I don't know how all this dating stuff is supposed to work, anyway.

[motorcycle_noises]

That's not your fault. Wanna just forget about it? Maybe help me with this thing....

[ He holds up his tablet. ]

[slice_of_life]

T-Thank you Sayori...

[aria_ardeinae]

Reputation matters little to you, then?

[purrtagonist]

Oh, sure.

[MAN A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TABLETS WORK. he reaches out to take it, and flip it on]

They really needed to attach instructions to these things.

[chincoola]

Check your tablet.

[sends over some medical records. the poison is temporarily neutralized via ~science~ or whatever]

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, that's true. But legally you're supposed to at least go up to high school. There's college after that, but that's not required.

[futurebullets]

Thanks... [He glances around the room, and hopes it won't be his doom.] In this place, I think I'm going to need it.

[lefthandpath]

[l-laughs a bit, scratching his cheek.]

I don't know if it's noticeable... but I've just been through a lot of... interesting things in my life. So it's hard to surprise me much these days.

[says the guy who is wearing dingy street clothes and he probably could use a shower but like...]

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . . huh]

Did you get caught up in trying to fix the timeline?

[justpure]

Hm... I understand not everyone here wants to find love. Perhaps we may see an abundance of platonic relationships?

[plsbully]

[ he laughs ]

There's plenty of cases where it's a clear enough method.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ They didn't have tablets in 1999. ]

That would be convenient. Thanks.

[starinhereye]

That explains why it's a good demarcation. Huh . . . So, you have laws about attending school?

[chincoola]

Whichever y'like!

[plsbully]

Allen, then. You were staring, weren't you?

[justpure]

That's exactly what I mean.

You've been in one as well?

[counterfaith]

The recently opened apps page. As you can see, there is the Rules, but also a second square - the application that I had opened earlier. Because you returned to the home screen does not mean that this application has stopped being used; rather, it's patiently waiting for you to use it again. Instead of starting over from the front, when you have it in this area, it will be preserved on the spot you left it - like a bookmark.

[lefthandpath]

I do have a reputation that tends to precede me, so...

[chincoola]

Everything's a kink!

[dismemberthename]

[shrugs] It's not quite like that. I can't go back whenever I want. So I just... have to do my best, and hope that it works out? It's been over a year now, since I was in my own body. There's no guarantee I'll wake up right from when I left off, if I ever go back. I could be dead, or in a coma. So... if I ever go back, I may not get another chance.

[starinhereye]

Heh, that's exactly what I was thinking of, a bookmark. So, I should be able to . . .

[touches the other one, actually getting into it]
