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.]

If... you're sure about that, I guess it's okay.

[He feels so lost...]

And... yeah. [He feels like he's sacrificing part of his soul to admit to this, but it would be worse to leave that without an explanation.] My friend... She gave them to me as a gift.

[Why it was on his head is extremely troubling, but. Well.]

[dismemberthename]

I'm Sudoh. It's nice to meet you, even with....

[gestures. around.]

[starinhereye]

I couldn't myself good at them, but I have been on a few. If you need help figuring something out.

[artisticliberty]

[i know that feel far too well, bro]

Then we are in accord. Let us both do our best.

[assent]

[ A small sigh of relief follows when Mikan seems to have understood (no she hasn't) and is taking her words to heart (no she isn't). ]

That is much better.

[futurebullets]

R-Right, right, sorry!

[He practically gasps the words, balling the underwear up in his hand and stuffing them into his back pocket as quickly but as carefully as he can. A gift is still a gift, after all.]

I'm... really sorry you ended up seeing that though, Sonia. Even though I... still don't get why it happened.

[He debates whether or not to tell her that they belong to Nanami. Would that make things better or worse...?]

[futurebullets]

...Hm?

[That's... interesting, he supposes. Unexpected, definitely. But it's such an oddity that Hinata can't find himself ignoring it, so he manages an uncertain smile as he speaks up.]

You're in good spirits even though we're in here... Did something funny happen?

[assent]

[ She wants to comment that his pocket is not the best place for them either but... at least he isn't wearing them on his head or waving them around now. ]

You truly have no knowledge of why whatsoever?

[ DON'T TELL HER... Why would she even need to know whose they are, it's bad enough already. ]

[dismemberthename]

[shrugs]

That's how it goes.

[cluelesscavewoman]

...I do not know what that is.

[What exactly does she want?]

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Nods]

Her father was the previous lord. As his only relative she was declared his successor.

[cantry]

You're not worried about not being wherever you were before? Even if we're safe here for now, usually you'd rather not leave... right?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[She lifts her tablet as well, she's only read the rules.]

I see you are the ultimate detective now instead of sharing that title, well done... My one has changed as well.

[futurebullets]

W-wait a second! Tsumiki, calm down!

[His hands hover for a moment, useless, as he tries to decide if this is really the best thing to do. But then Hinata internally goes screw it and carefully places his hands on her shoulders.]

Breathe for a second, okay? Did you have a nightmare or something? [because clearly that has to be what's going on here, right] Usami beat up... whatever that bear was called, Monokuma right? But she got rid of him on the first day. There wasn't any killing or anything dangerous like that afterwards, I promise.

[He doesn't know what's going on, but... He's worried. He's really, really worried.]

[cantry]

Well, a safe is where these jerks might be keeping the prize money. They have to hide it from us until they give it out as prizes at the end, right? Though I'd rather not play this game in the first place at all...

[futurebullets]

I don't. [Sighing, he rubs the back of his head.] Aside from it being embarrassing, I'm... pretty ticked off they were there, honestly. If this is a prank, it's not funny.

[who does he have to yell at about this, Hinata needs to file a complaint right now immediately.]

[cluelesscavewoman]

[It's a nice spear. With a shaft that can be split into segments, a good counterbalance, an etching of a dragonfly, but the most notable thing is the blade that's 40cm long.]

Do you fight them?

[cluelesscavewoman]

I am seventeen.

[assent]

I believe we could say that about the situation as well. [ She sighs. ] I am truly quite tired and would have liked to rest.

[ Guess who was collecting items all day and just wants to sleep, too. ]

[cluelesscavewoman]

That.

[Being helpful, she makes a grab for his head. Don't move or she might grab your hair instead.]

[artisticliberty]

My apologies, I was referring to the situation we find ourselves in now. Still, the way you describe it... it sounds like a strange version of a school excursion.

[artisticliberty]

My name is Kitagawa Yusuke. Regardless of our circumstances, it is a pleasure to meet you.

[cluelesscavewoman]

So he should not be here... But we are here. That doesn't work. Hmm.

...That was not his voice.

[dismemberthename]

Thanks. Good luck with the dating?

[assent]

My apologies! [ There's just too much going on, apparently. ] I suppose it could be that they believe our soulmates were in other dimensions and they just wished to help... but that sounds like something out of another drama, does it not?
