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.]

[ Sayori, hang in there... ]

I would normally disagree, given that I do not believe I should be here either but there does not seem to be anything we can do about it. However, I do not think you need to worry so much. [ She gives the other girl a smile. ] Everything will be all right.

[justpure]

That's an interesting way to put it... But I shall explain.

[He's used to giving long speeches about different aspects of civilization, and it's a little easier when he's explaining terms from his home country.]

"Chuuni" is short for Chuunibyou, or "Eighth Grader Syndrome." It is a behavioral pattern commonly seen in middle school students. It tends to manifest as haughty arrogance over false traits or the delusion that they have magical powers no one else has.

In other words, the chinchillas believe you are a childish person living in your own little world. You have my condolences.

[lacrimose]

[An angel...? Like today wasn't weird enough. Akira stops yelling and looks over at him, flashing a cocky grin.]

I don't need a weapon.

[slice_of_life]

Oh... yes. I'm very fond of tea.... perhaps that would help calm my nerves and help me relax.

Um, not that I don't e-enjoy talking with you, Sara... in fact...

[nervously plays with her hair]

Would you... join me...?

[futurebullets]

Hey.

[He grips her hand in his own, voice firm but with a gentleness underneath it. A match for his tone.]

Don't apologize for that. It's not a wasted effort to help a friend. Now, c'mon, up you go.

[And with that, he'll carefully pull her to her feet, other hand out in case she starts to fall again. Hinata has been around Tsumiki long enough to expect a second fall to be possible.]

wtf I missed this 8(

[liftoft]

Yeah--! Like... really recently, actually? Bad luck, right?

[plsbully]

-- Ku--hahahaha!

[ it's a laugh that seems more amused than irritated, on that new knowledge, tipping the brim of his hat down over his face for a moment to hide some of that. ]

Of all the many things I have been accused of in my life -- that is new. What a remarkable term.

[plsbully]

Have you participated in another one of these ... games?

[futurebullets]

[Yes, apparently.]

Hanging... off of my hair...?

[That has to mean his ahoge, so Hinata just. Feels around it carefully - and nearly jerks back in surprise when his fingertips make contact with something cotton-like instead of hair. Frowning, he pulls on it - wincing when it catches on a few strands - and...

Finally, he sees it. And reacts the only way that he really can.]

Uwah!! Why... [His whole face is burning, he can feel it.] Why is something like this here?!

[counterfaith]

How unfortunate. Well, perhaps you'll be able to do that again soon enough.

[counterfaith]

Not at all, it seems it will be quite easy to do.

[counterfaith]

[ he sure does. does allen walker get pings

giving him a look when he realizes there's someone nearby, and it's just ! a friendly smile. ]

It seems this is quite a conundrum, isn't it?

[plsbully]

Ohh? What was your plan?

Re: CHINCHILLAS

[counterfaith]

Are you the hosts of this party, then?

[cluelesscavewoman]

It was night time when I was brought here. I was at the festival. The food was delicious.

[She glares, this might be the angriest she's ever looked.]

They say you are you be with people you care about or something about being with romantic people.

[counterfaith]

Have you gained an understanding to the rules of this game that we must play yet?

[justpure]

Good luck with that!

[He sounds so sarcastic and amused.]

I await to see what beauty comes out of your attempts.

[justpure]

[Oh, brother. Did you seriously not notice until now?!]

That's a good question. Were you rummaging through some poor girl's room before you woke up here?

[futurebullets]

[His mouth pulls into a frown. That's an unexpected development.]

Huh...? There's something on my head?

[The frown gets deeper still as his fingers encounter cloth and not hair. But it becomes something else entirely as he sees what it actually is, and very suddenly shock and embarrassment are warring for first place in his expression.]

Uwah!! This shouldn't be... How did this even get here?!

[discerp]

I-In the category of speed d-dating, or musical chairs, o-or what counts as moving vehicle or not? [She's not sure she wants to be regarded as well-knowledgeable in any of these categories but here we go]

[futurebullets]

[He shakes his head viciously at that.] I wouldn't just take somebody else's stuff! That's wrong.

[But then Hinata frowns, because... she's gesturing at his head, isn't she?

On a whim, his hand reaches up. And he finds something that's not hair.

When he manages to get it off of his head, it is definitely not hair.]

Gah-! This... shouldn't even be here, why is it on my head?!

[justpure]

[Huh. That's a better reaction than he expected... Perhaps that title wasn't as inaccurate as he thought?]

Indeed, but the behavior it describes is not exclusive to my country or students. To make an arguable example of a literary work, Don Quixote could be classified as a Chuuni on account of believing he was a knight errant on a noble quest. The character did possess a lot of self-righteousness to the chagrin of his neighbors, if I'm not mistaken...

[discerp]

[For...her. Yeah.]

Maybe... I-I guess we can hope so. [She chews on her bottom lip and twists her fingers together anxiously]

But to just start asking people on dates when we don't even know anyone... [Which, actually, reminds her. She looks around] Where is everyone else?

[plsbully]

I've read through them, certainly. Did you intend on simply doing your best?

[justpure]

Ah....

[Well, he looks like he's entranced by her existence, but at least he's not someone like Hanamura (whoever that is)]

I... I don't know where to start! There is so much I want to know about your country...!
