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.]

[counterfaith]

Yes - so, please be careful.

[truthstranger]

[He flounders and settles on the first answer he thinks of]

...A character from a game I know.

[appleofhiseye]

It seemed like he was becoming more knight-like, but it's true that he still has that shadowy aura about him. For now he's with both of us, though. At least while we're here, which shouldn't be for too long.

[they have better things to do, like jobs!!! at home]

[cluelesscavewoman]

Is it? I am bad at wifely things so it does not seem inaccurate.

[pecker]

[What an embarrassing mistake to make. Niwatori forces a smile.]

A little bit. There's a flock of various birds that, um, goes places with me... they must not have been able to come in here after all.

[She looks disappointed, but then, so did he. For some reason.]

But, man, I was surprised! Your wings look so real - are they?

[Because she really doesn't think she would make a mistake like that, as weird as it is to see them on a human person.]

[starinhereye]

I'll do my best. I wouldn't hear the end of it if I wasn't. And you too, okay?

[redcarnation]

[ She straightens her back and places her hand on her hip at that. ]

Well, Isuke is gorgeous after all.

[ And with an eye to Niwatori's outfit. ]

And you should know the value of displaying a good amount of skin when dealing with perverts, right?

[futurebullets]

H-how are you able to talk about something like chloroform that lightly...?!

[he knows things are apparently wild over in your country but Sonia pls]

In... In any case, I'm uneasy about it, but we can try to keep an eye out for any opportunities to get away. The front looks locked up pretty tight, but maybe there's a weak spot somewhere else in here. And...

[He sighs. Hinata wants the ground to swallow him up with what he's about to say, but.]

...if worst comes to worst, we'll just have to go along with this romance thing.

[He hates this.]

[appleofhiseye]

I admit that I'm not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it is possible that some kind of a mistake has been made here.

[all of this is way, way more than anything she has ever experienced in her relatively mellow life, so she doesn't know what to think about being randomly transported to a locked-down school and told to...experience romance and passion with strangers.]

[counterfaith]

Naturally, of course. Thank you for your concern.

[ he says, with no intention to hold that up at all, ]

Now then, it was a pleasure to meet you, but if you would excuse me, I'd like to investigate the rest of this place.

[redcarnation]

No kidding.

[starinhereye]

[grinning to himself]

It was a metaphor; however he acts is just fine. But he is holding his own as a knight, isn't he? It's impressive.

[truthstranger]

...Right. I'm a little worried about how the assignments will end up.

[appleofhiseye]

Drive...a what? Like a horse?

[you can get a fine for riding a horse too fast?????]

Or a carriage? That doesn't sound like it has anything to do with dating, unless we're all going to be dating in carriages that are going very fast.

[futurebullets]

No, really, it's... [Oh God why.] I know it's probably kind of weird, but- [And Hinata reaches up...] It really does just... look...

[He trails off. There's something else there that is definitely not hair.

Frowning, he'll manage to tug it off on his own - and promptly yell as soon as he sees what it is.]

Uwah! Why are these...?!

[This has to be a nightmare.]

[truthstranger]

Ah... yes, but...

[ But there's no really easy way to explain it. ]

But, it's nothing. You just... looked familiar for a moment.

[tsunderine]

No, not at all.

[ She states it rather plainly. There's no point in lying. ] Tohsaka Rin. If you're so familiar with the term, is it common where you're from?

[purrtagonist]

[he picks up on the sudden change in atmosphere easily]

Does. . . that happen to you a lot?

[being kidnapped by insurgents, he means]

[fightingoverdose]

I shoulda thought of that... Hey, says there's some kinda auditorium in here on the map; I bet there's a costume room.

[appleofhiseye]

"This kind of stuff" being kidnapping? I can say that I've never been in a situation as strange as this before, so I'm not sure what is and isn't normal for this particular set of circumstances.

[starinhereye]

Sure, go ahead. Sorry to hold you up, Shirou.

[fightingoverdose]

How was I supposed to know you weren't doing some elaborate cosplay? Your kinks ain't my business yet!

[purrtagonist]

[meanwhile? Akira's grabbing the brushes, twirling one around in his hand like he's handling a dagger in the midst of a fight]

The auditorium could use a bit of a makeover, if you ask me. There's a morgue, a library, a gym. . . hey, isn't the sky the limit?

[appleofhiseye]

[context clues give her enough to figure out what a dating show would entail even without asking, though the idea still makes her balk.]

I hope it's nothing like that! No one would be as ridiculous as to bring us all here for such a purpose. ...Right?

[starinhereye]

Zen, actually. Not Holmes. And what theories? About this place?
