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.]

... Ah, I seem to get that reaction a lot.

[aria_ardeinae]

Ah, Ike.

[ He's glad to see him - not glad for the circumstances, but Ike's a reliable presence to have about, so. ]

If even you can fall victim to the schemes of the rodent tribe, I feel no shame at my own captivity.

[chincoola]

S-so-so!?

[lefthandpath]

[SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ALLEN WALKER'S LANGUAGE?]

Haha... well. Wealthy old men have been known to have such interests, so I hear.

[chincoola]

Lessee...

[pulls out a rose and offers that]

[helptilistop]

Yup! I'm not too good with modern technology, so that's about as far as I can tell you, though.

[appleofhiseye]

I was at work and...

[oh no it was an all-nighter, she doesn't actually remember]

Well, I didn't think I fell asleep, but I might have fallen asleep. This doesn't feel like a dream though.

[fightingoverdose]

Huh... You must be pretty invested in winnin'.

[purrtagonist]

[with DEATHLY SERIOUSNESS]

So-so.

[justpure]

[Join the club.]

[Yes, it's hard to tell by this guy's weird face mask, but he doesn't seem alarmed either.]

It appears so... I take it, you've had a similar experience before?

[lefthandpath]

Apparently they work with direct contact?

[he... had to have it explained to him, too.]

[purrtagonist]

[OH NO]

Ah-- sorry.

[rubs the back of his neck a bit sheepishly]

I'm Akira; I didn't mean to startle you.

[thickandchunky]

I see. Maybe we were really brought here, though I can't imagine what made them decide on the lot of us.

...Sorry, my manners still need a lot of work. What's your name?

[bladeisme]

[After Ichigo's done yelling and has some tearful reunions, he goes to check out the other 'contestants' in this little game. He's checked out the tablets, but there's no way this is going to be that simple.]

Who knows. I don't think this is going to end up with us all falling in love and living happily ever after.

[sunbottles]

[It takes her a second.

But then it clicks, and you could probably fry an egg on how hot her cheeks become.]

Ack! No no no, not like that! I just meant... you know what I meant!

Geez, you meanie. Don't pick on poor girls like that!

[slice_of_life]

It's... It's all right...

...

Yuri.

[fightingoverdose]

A motorcycle! Or maybe even those trucks with the sweet chrome and light set-ups! They're hella nice. That and a barbeque, I bet that's what's behind that door!

[lefthandpath]

I'm sure we can figure it out, it'll just take some explanation.

[see? he's already making some progress just by being told that you have to. poke the screen. with real fingers.]

[chinhotta]

Hmm, it's a mystery! We're pretty mysterious chinchillas, you know. Maybe we're just really into voyeurism.

[tocatchafallingapple]

It's fine, I should have asked first as well!

I am Obi.

[bladeisme]

[GIVE HIM A SECOND okay he's

Well, not calm, but he's able to rein in the anger when there's someone worrying about him in the same room.

He gives her a weak, apologetic smile - clearly forced.]

....Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

[tocatchafallingapple]

It's more than what I would have known, at least.

[purrtagonist]

[the last time they were here they assumed it was the way out, BUT. . .]

Only if it turns out to be treasure.

[starinhereye]

Seeing how everyone else is reacting to their "once in a lifetime chance". It seems like we're all as excited as the next person about it.

[appleofhiseye]

[she glances up as she taps the button--and then does a double take and looks back up at him again as the screen lights up.]

--Zen! Oh, am I dreaming?
