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.]

I didn't put them there! [There's an almost pleading note in his voice.] I don't know why they were wrapped up around my hair. They should've been safe in my cabin.

[AND NOT DANGLING ON HIS HEAD FOR EVERYONE TO SEE]

Besides... Underwear is really private, you know? It's not the kind of thing I want to wave around in public.

[lacrimose]

If it works, I'll take out whoever's behind all this.

[If he notices Peter's dismissive tone, he chooses to ignore it. Akira's already made up his mind what he wants to do and how, even if others don't think much of it.]

[purrtagonist]

[IT IS COOL, HE IS USED TO DEALING WITH SHARP OBJECTS]

True. They could be robots in disguise.

[har har, transformers joke]

Take out the one who calls himself "papa" first.

[pummelgranite]

[ "kindred spirit" // ]

Sure. See you around, Avenger.

[lacrimose]

Really? You want to help?

[He's not against it, but he's surprised, given Akira usually fights on his own. It's a brave thing to offer.]

[pummelgranite]

Heard there's a Son of Satan around.

[tocatchafallingapple]

You would think so.

[truthstranger]

Um... whichever you're most comfortable with...?

[dismemberthename]

Yeah. I dunno if I can measure up to somebody who was yelling about fighting demons, but I'm not the sort who can just stand by, either. I'll do what I can.

[slice_of_life]

[sees that listing for herself and her nostrils flare for a tiny moment.]

It's... awkwardly phrased, but, yes. I'm part of the Literature Club in my school...

[then, a blush.]

I suppose it's a metaphorical as well as literal pen...

[appleofhiseye]

[looking relieved honestly]

That was my intention, and I'd appreciate the company.

[somewhat belatedly, she offers him a hand]

I'm Shirayuki.

[dismemberthename]

Sure. There's Suzuki-san, when she maybe exists again, and Yurul, who's her ancestor like Shut Hell is mine, probably, except without the going back in time part. Boldu is a member of his family, and Ibaha cares... maybe a little bit too much, to be honest. For someone who doesn't know anything about the situation...

Pretty sure I can't count Veronika, but it would be a nicer world if I could.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ YET?? ...He actually doesn't know what a couple of these words mean but they all sound like something he should be mad about. ]

What nonsense! Have you never seen a laguz before?!

[slice_of_life]

...

[plsbully]

My implication was more they may exist in your world while you were unaware. Though I do agree - - the circumstances here aren't normal.

[plsbully]

Well, I will see you back at Chaldea, then?

[futurebullets]

The positives, huh...

[Something flits across his face, almost... fond.]

You remind me a little of a friend of mine. Even though we ended up in a situation similar to this, he's always calm and looking on the bright side of everything.

[plsbully]

Do you not have magic in your home?

[plsbully]

I hope we do not have to endure mockery for the entirety of our time here.

[purrtagonist]

[he takes it, with little hesitation]

Akira. I know of at least one way out, but if they're smart, they would have blocked it off before bringing us here.

[futurebullets]

No, these- These aren't mine, I'm not trying to wear them! [Something inside of him screams internally at the thought.] I don't know why they're on my head, but... I never put these on!

[purrtagonist]

["when she maybe exists again." TIME TRAVEL IS HARD]

Why can't you count Veronika?

[futurebullets]

Wait, are you...

[A small stretch of silence, and then Hinata's face colors ever so slightly.]

Are you laughing at me?

[He didn't do anything, though???]

[slice_of_life]

Thank you...

...you're not mad?

[slice_of_life]

[n-nods]

It will... still take me some time to get over my anxiety... I think.
