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.]

You have been part of a romance game before?

[tsunderine]

Yeah, it is. It's kind of weird that it's here for a romance thing, don't you think? There might be something there.

[liftoft]

I don't remember anything happening to my memories...

[ somehow, he doesn't catch that as it comes out of his mouth ]

All that happened was... we showed up in the gym, and then some weirdass bear came out and told us he'd decided we were all gonna play a dating game where we had to fall in love in order to 'graduate'.

[loveisanopenseal]

[smiling]

If I find the answer, I'll know.

[truthstranger]

Mm, I'm working on it. I've been working on starting a private detective agency, with my... partner.

[artisticliberty]

He survived, but he has been summoned here once again.

[tsunderine]

Ahh, geez... just because it's not going to physically hurt them doesn't mean that we should follow what those weirdos say.

[ She folds her arms and huffs herself before straightening herself out. ]

Natsuki-chan, huh. I'm Rin. Tohsaka Rin.

[artisticliberty]

It is an ongoing process. I will likely spend the rest of my life pursuing my ideal forms of beauty, and--oh. Was that a joke?

[truthstranger]

Ah... I'm Shuichi Saihara, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[artisticliberty]

[at least until he hears from akira]

I take it back. I have some expectations.

[tsunderine]

Not if you were sent to hell. Actually, I don't even know if hell would even accept a creepy chinchilla like you!

[pecker]

[At first, Niwatori only hears a voice. Then she turns and sees ... that. It's dangling from his hair, like some kind of weird ornament. She's so lost and confused that such a bizarre sight out of nowhere just has her suddenly bursting into a fit of laughter.]

[truthstranger]

Ah... if your memories were manipulated, it would have been before then. That is, more happened to us later on, but... it was a problem from the start.

[artisticliberty]

I have no tolerance for such repulsive individuals at this time, not when there are more pressing matters, such as whether or not our hosts are planning to kill us.

[tsunderine]

Hoh... really....? So, who did you end up dating?

[artisticliberty]

[... he nods after a moment, and removes his hand from the boards]

Will we be laying low for the time being, then?

[liftoft]

--I don't think it'd mean anything to you if I told you, would it? Not like you know any of them...

[artisticliberty]

Then the announcement was not being facetious?

[purrtagonist]

[HA HA RIGHT WHO WOULD HAVE VOICES IN THEIR HEAD, sweats]

I hate to say it, but I haven't been practicing my villain laughter as of late. I'm pretty rusty.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya flicks his zippo open and shut again.  ]

I'm concerned about that, too.

[tsunderine]

That's pretty far in the future... although not too far, at least.

[purrtagonist]

I could tell. Sorry, sorry. I couldn't resist.

[fightingoverdose]

[oh no it's great]

I dunno about "happy," but there sure are worse places to be. I mean, there's grub, there's people to meet and stuff to do, no one seems to want our immortal souls or anythin'...why not take the chance to have some fun?

[liftoft]

[ Alright, this conversation is serious and he doesn't want to downplay that here, but... ]

The only thing that happened to us later on is that we went on some dates, and in the end everyone got to graduate. I told you you saved everybody, right?

[starinhereye]

[glancing up to check Shuichi's expression but going back to the tablet without any change in his own expression]

If you're opening up a shop, then that sounds rather official. Congratulations.
