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.]

[ Why is he screaming so loudly?! Rather than responding in a similar manner, she tries to approach him calmly in the hope it will help him. ]

I admit I do not understand what you are talking about, however... [ She gives him a warm smile, one that will hopefully encourage confidence and optimism. ] I am certain you need not worry about there being any danger.

[tsunderine]

Ah, I see... technology's pretty amazing, isn't it?

[purrtagonist]

[and some things never change, like their complete and total lack of privacy]

[cluelesscavewoman]

[But what about ]

Judge. Akira knows a lot, so it makes sense that he would know about this. Thank you for reminding me.

[justpure]

Keh heh heh heh heh heh...

[WELL! That's the most interesting reaction he's seen all day! And this is certainly the first time he's ever seen someone mistake a couple of chinchillas for demons.]

[The first time he's seen a human willing to fight a demon as well! What a rare specimen of Beauty!]

You really think you can fight your way out of this?

[aria_ardeinae]

You have faced creatures like these before?

[ Just because he's calmer doesn't mean he's not pissed. ]

[pecker]

They sent you to a tropical island just to make friends for a while? Wow, that sounds like an amazing school...

[In her head, she is thinking it sounds amazingly stupid, but she doesn't let it show in her mannerisms. Instead, Niwatori rambles a bit as she processes this information.]

B-but I don't think encouraging romance is what a school would do. Normally educators want you to focus on your training... [Wait, does that turn of phrase sound normal to regular high schoolers? She tries again.] On your studies. And I'm definitely not a student at your school, so... was anyone else involved that you knew of? By the way, I wonder who's controlling those puppets?

[justpure]

[He nods in reply.]

I'll see you later, then.

[fightingoverdose]

Means you and your boytoy might be at a disadvantage for this contest. I mean, unless cuckolding's one of your kinks, which, cool, but even then, ya might not wanna spread that around.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Peers into your soul]

What are you looking at?

[truthstranger]

Mm, yes, but specifically... there are people from my killing game. ...People who died. And some people I recognize from one of other ones I know of, too.

[thesystemisdown]

I'm sure they didn't.

[It's not like her depression seemed to be stopping her from having a route, so Monika's sure her chances are just fine. That's how these things seem fated to go.

Which would also be why she's not even slightly surprised to see her club members here.
Why wouldn't they be?]

But this whole thing is pretty weird, isn't it?

[discerp]

F-flower pins and houses...? [You know, given the amount of slightly off things that come out of Sonia's mouth on the reg, Mikan's kind of willing to chalk this up to that.

Maybe... maybe this is just how things go in her country.]

B-but... But, um, it did say we'd be going on, um, d-dates. Right?

[slice_of_life]

Monika!

[she breathed another sigh of relief... that made two.]

I'm... I'm glad you're here, too...

Oh... the fact they're talking about violence at all... doesn't it strike you as a little bit like foreshadowing? To put the seed of doubt in our minds...

[justpure]

. . .

[Please tell him Kaito's referring to the gifts from the MonoMono Machine...]

Yes.

[purrtagonist]

What do other people say it is?

[and here he is again, trying to teach Futayo about relationships]

Good afternoon. Evening? I'm not sure what time of the day it is.

[dismemberthename]

[whoa, pink] You say that, but... Well, maybe.

[truthstranger]

...I suppose so.

[purrtagonist]

[FRIEND!!!]

It's-- [that familiar voice saying his name easily snaps Akira out of his stupor, and he focuses his attention all on her now]

Futayo? You too?

[chinhotta]

That's right, babe!

[fightingoverdose]

[puffs up her chest a bit]

Sure do! But don't worry, I can be gentle when it counts. I'm a lady, after all.

[her expression is not ladylike at all]

[chinhotta]

No murder! Strictly forbidden!

[purrtagonist]

[HOW. . . HELPFUL. . .]

I thought maybe I could burn a hole through it with my laser vision.

[he doesn't have laser vision]

[assent]

It was my first experience of entering school in Japan, so I had not really put much thought into it. Besides, the school itself is quite famous for being different. Perhaps that is all it was?

[ alas it wasn't. ]

Though you may be right about that. Schools in my country would focus on studies as well, whether it was maths, sciences or warfare it was the focus to ensure students got the grades necessary to succeed in life. [ Hmm. ] Perhaps it is some kind of television company? There are dating shows that have become quite popular lately...

[justpure]

... Ah, so you were in a killing game.

[How many people did they pull from that situation?]

I get the feeling this is going to be different.
