Trash Squad Day 1 - GAME START

[ 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.]

Maybe that's where they're keepin' the prize money or somethin'. Gonna try and crack it?

..... [ Ah. A loud idiot. We got one already.

Covering his ears. ]

I think we might be able to be of some help if you'd have a normal indoor voice and explain!

Sure, but there's no reason to just go in expecting that, is there? I'm not saying to be totally trusting here, since this is all kinds of messed up, but we don't know that anything bad is gonna happen either...

[ Okay, yeah, raccoons... that.... she's trying to assume this is meant metaphorically, really.

The whole killing thing, meanwhile, doesn't impress her as much. ]

Did they give out this handsome a price money for that version too?

Listen, son, I understand. Them raccoons, they done you wrong. But I'm your papa now, and Papa loves you.

[squinting at his own tablet like it kicked his puppy, threw his kitten out of a window, and ate the last cookie out of the jar all at once]

Kidnapping must be extremely trendy these days.

Shinguji? Ah--well, yeah, I mean... they're chinchillas. Chinchillas are herbivores, right?

School, innit? Except without murder.

That's right! Feel free to kneel if you want, hee hee.

[ Hey guess what, he's not tall, he doesn't get the opportunity to look down his nose at someone with his feet flat on the floor that often so this is a nice change of pace. ]

It is considered polite to issue an invitation beforehand. Perhaps abducting your guests is commonplace in your homeland, but I will not stand for it.

[Life is funny. One moment you're dragging yourself home early in a fit of self-loathing and unrequited love, the next you've blacked out and woken up on the set of a surprise dating game.]

Wh-what? [Find... love?] What?!

[Sayori doesn't even head for the tablets. She just stands there, fidgeting awkwardly with the hem of her skirt before looking up at a passing someone with a painfully pleading smile.]

Um... so, I think they picked up the wrong person. Ehehe... they probably made a mistake, right?

Right?

...

[she still doesn't look convinced]

[ Okay, so... Tohsaka's gotten some answers, although there's still things that she's confused about, that she's found herself questioning things -- but more importantly she's spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how this tablet thing works and is somehow failing.

Sure, she was told to ask someone, but Tohsaka is Tohsaka.

She isn't the type of person to just give in and ask for help. And that's where her stubbornness comes into play. But eventually she gets frustrated enough that she's made the decision to just. Angrily. Throw the tablet in the air and hit it with the item that's come with her - the jeweled sword of Zelretch - like a baseball in her frustrations.

(Sorry to anybody who gets hit, she's not trying to be violent.) ]
