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.]

Indeed. Since the bird tribes have become a single nation, mixed families are becoming more common.

[ It helps (?) that between the Kilvas plague, the Serenes massacre, and the betrayal at Phoenicis there's plenty of grief to bond over. ]

[thesystemisdown]

Let's just hope we can put up a good enough act!

[assent]

[ Well at least they got there now, but--

She looks horribly startled that she forgot to introduce herself as well. ]

I sincerely apologise! I forgot my manners, my name is Sonia Nevermind, Princess of the Kingdom of Novoselic. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ She offers a small bow in return as well, relieved that he doesn't seem upset she forgot as well. ]

[artisticliberty]

[because you are not an ARTIST. yusuke finds some paint cans with a look that can only be described as triumphant]

I am open to suggestions.

[pummelgranite]

I might.

Honestly, just got done with a pretty successful bit of antichristing, so it's a little back burner for now, yeah?

[pummelgranite]

You impress an Ionian death cult.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh.

[pummelgranite]

Besides that we're all locked in here and it's run by animatronic chinchillas that want to watch us shag? Besides that?

[cluelesscavewoman]

I am a samurai, I was also raised only to fight. But I am unsure of what to do without my master being present.

[lacrimose]

[It doesn't, but it's better than nothing.] Then, things really worked out for everyone in the end?

[It sounds almost too good to be true, but there's no reason she would lie about it. He nods, and his tears seem to stop a little.]

I'll help you go home again, so don't worry.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Life is hard.

[thesystemisdown]

True, true. Then let me rephrase: I thought you seemed bothered in a different way from most of the rest of us.

[pummelgranite]

Yikes.

[afailedmurder]

It was an act of rebellion.

But I learned a great deal from it; particularly about others' priorities.

[aria_ardeinae]

Of course I can! They're not for decoration!

[truthstranger]

There was an art room here with those sort of supplies... other than the crowbar.

[tsunderine]

Same here. [ She manages to smile, although she's not entirely pleased with the situation as a whole. ] In... spite of the weird circumstances, anyway. Since we're here though, we probably should start looking for a way to get everyone home, right? If there's a way in, there's certainly a way out.

[assent]

Yes. I shall speak with you later.

[ With that weird goodbye done, she will go find someone else to chat with. She will, however, remember him as someone pleasant and perhaps trustworthy so that's something. ]

[tsunderine]

If they managed to bring us here, I would like to say 'yes'.

[truthstranger]

Right.

Though, ah... the question of whether we're romantically available may come up. I already got asked if we were... a package deal.

[assent]

I see, are you also unfamiliar with this?

[ Because she has no idea what she's doing tbh. ]

[thickandchunky]

Maybe I'm just dense, but I had no idea. But after everything that happened, it's good that they found happiness.

I know my sister was looking to make a life with Boyd, and a couple people in the army were getting together, but settling down is something I haven't even stopped to think on.

Which makes me wonder why I'm here. Romance, and no violence? I am the farthest thing from suitable to this.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Finally, another bird- his feathers smooth down and then ruffle right back up again when he registers that the cloak's not part of her body. ]

Were you expecting someone else?

[tsunderine]

Isn't that obvious? [ What sneaks upon her lips is what seems to be devilsh smile that seems almost uncharacteristic... except for the fact that it suits her. ] I wanted to see if you'd realize it yourself.

[thesystemisdown]

Oh, I'm sure they can provide everything they promise. I'm just not sure if they will.
