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.]

[ A new eye... well, okay. ]

It's been a few months for us too. It was a little chaotic at first... we had to get me documentation before I could really do anything to settle in. And Akechi-kun... had some things to deal with.

[bladeisme]

[It takes a bit, but he definitely does come back down - letting himself breathe and let his hands down from his hair.

When he's calmed enough, he looks over and -

oh.]

...Did you, uh...Have you been there the whole time?

[bladeisme]

[So awkward...

...He sighs.]

...I'm - Kurosaki Ichigo. Just Ichigo's fine, though.

[If Yuri's taken a look at the tablets, she might have noticed he has the title of 'Ultimate Poet.']

And you?

[pummelgranite]

[ shrug ]

Most of it.

[bladeisme]

Eh...it's less a 'god' and more of a 'guide' thing, honestly.

...Well, that and taking care of hollows.

[Normally, he'd be less forthcoming about all of this, but he's just decided to stop caring for now.]

[slice_of_life]

...Yuri.

[still too early]

Nice to meet you?

[dismemberthename]

Hollows?

[he's just. going along with this, evidently. it's pretty much too wild to be bullshit.]

[aria_ardeinae]

...And you won?

[ Because it'd be hard to be here having lost a game about murder. He's not judging - okay, he's judging the concept, but he's not moving any further away from Ichigo. ]

[bladeisme]

['What is this even doing here' instead of 'why do I have a pair of panties on my head'?

Pervert confirmed.

...Wait hang on - there was a title he'd noticed called 'Ultimate Panty Collector...]

...Are you Hajime Hinata?

[#judging]

[bladeisme]

...

[He's silent for a long moment, before shaking his head.]

Here's hoping you'll never have to find out what it's like.

[bladeisme]

[Listen Urahara is a legit spirit wizard okay]

Ah, right - because you technically don't exist in that world. Illya had some issues like that, too...but dad knows the director of the biggest hospital in Karakura who also knows a lot of people, so he was able to pull some strings and get her some documentation, too.

[And even got her a fancy diagnosis for why she grows so slowly, too - after they'd gotten her a new, non homonculi body.]

Akechi...yeah, I bet.

[bladeisme]

Yuri, huh...how's it spelled?

[He does think it's a little odd that she didn't give her family name - unless that is her family name - but he lets it slide.]

Nice to meet you, too. I'm normally not the kind of guy who screams about stabbing raccoons, I swear.

[Was that a joke????

Akira really is rubbing off on him.]

[slice_of_life]

Um, Y-U-R-I?

[she can't help but look a little confused at that question.]

...I understand... it can be hard to... get a good impression when that's all I've seen you do...

[dismemberthename]

That was, uh. Some words I didn't quite catch, but I get the general idea. But who knows? Anything can happen.

[bladeisme]

[That wasn't what he-

oh. Oh. Ohhhhhhh.....

Crap, she must be from America or Britain or something. Way to look like even more of a weirdo, Ichigo.]

I, uh...Sorry, I meant in kanji, but...never mind, okay?

[ANYWAY-]

Right, just...I don't really have the best memories of this place, and I...reacted to being back here again, even if we've got different animals running it this time.

[liftoft]

Hell no! I'm the Luminary of the Stars! My talents are for the universe, not stuffed animals!

[liftoft]

Worried-worried or just... regular worried?

[liftoft]

Well, not like you need to have any hot and heavy dates or anything! Just have a nice evening--your people would definitely understand that, since you don't have a choice, right?

[liftoft]

W-What? No! It was--basically exactly like this...

[liftoft]

You sure that's what you were trying to do? Because like I said, that was basically the fastest way to confuse me!

[cluelesscavewoman]

...











[Watches anyway. Thank.]

[liftoft]

Ha, if you say so! But what about you--what kind of dates are you hoping for?

[purrtagonist]

[WHY IS HE LIKE THIS, THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW]

[for as long as he lingers, the kiss is pretty chaste (because taking it anywhere else while they have an audience is just. . . n-no thanks). but eventually, he pulls away, though his fingers stay wrapped in Ichigo's shirt]

Is that good enough, Futayo?

[SHAME, WHAT IS SHAME]

[truthstranger]

Somewhere in between...? It does genuinely seem like this game is meant to be non-violent, and if your version of our game worked out fine, then that makes it more likely that's the case. But given my experiences last time I was here, I can't help but be a little wary, still.

And even if it's safe, I still wonder exactly how they'll be assigning us and what we're meant to do.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[And she hasn't seen you in two weeks.]

They did not lie last time.
