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.]

Don't get me wrong, of course I know this is a pretty bad situation for all of us. It's just that all things considered, a dating game seems fairly innocuous.

[thesystemisdown]

[Glancing around...]

No, you're on the right track. After all, if they can't fulfill our basic needs first, they can hardly expect any romance or passion to take place.

Considering they were able to bring us all here somehow, they probably have the means to keep everyone fed and rested.

[slice_of_life]

Oh... that's right, isn't it? Social companionship and l-love are... definitely after basic needs and safety.

[She couldn't help but blush at saying the 'l' word...]

[thesystemisdown]

Well, that's true. Assuming we all manage to trust each other enough for that.

[artisticliberty]

It is no trouble, although I am concerned about our surroundings. I have been told that the game we are expected to participate in will be harmless... but the history here disturbs me.

[assent]

Perhaps, though the rules state that violence is not permitted here. I have come from a similar situation, though the location was much more preferable before.

[assent]

The history?

[ Her head cants to the side, completely unaware of what he’s referring to. ]

[artisticliberty]

This school was formerly host to a murder game. My friend was forced into participating.

[redcarnation]

Gotcha.

[ After a moment of thought, she adds: ]

Kaminaga Koko. I don't know why she would be here, but if she is, she's got the know-how. Dressed all like a good catholic girl, can't miss her.

[redcarnation]

So they do, so they do...

[ She laughs at at that. ]

Aaah, such a shame though. Isuke wouldn't mind if she was just asked out properly, mature men have their benefits.

But like this, I'm afraid, I'm a little unwilling.

[assent]

A murder game...?! I presume that could not be what they call a prank either, no? That is... quite concerning.

[redcarnation]

You're eager to get started, huh? Checking people out like that ♥

[clocked_out]

Like who all is flushed about who else and whatnot.

[cluelesscavewoman]

... You are acting like Minako-dono did when I walked into her room with a spear...

[Hmm. That was because she was being scary wasn't it? So she should be not-scary, yes that's it!

Her armour rattles and she sits, curling her legs underneath her and putting her hands in her lap.]

[redcarnation]

What, afraid you can't hold your own? Cowards shouldn't be making such big noise in the first place.

[ They may have said no murder, but with the way everyone's talking, Isuke is not entirely inclined to believe that. The prospect of murder doesn't exactly bother her either though. ]

[artisticliberty]

Not to mention distasteful.

For that reason, please be wary of the chinchillas.

[clocked_out]

Honestly I have crash landed ass over heels through so many humiliating ordeals it's not really a struggle it's like a fucking relaxing meander through a rose garden.

[afailedmurder]

Perhaps if we're "entertaining" enough, they won't decide to kill us...?

[ddddubious]

[clocked_out]

I'm way too fucking cute to lose even on purpose, dude.

[clocked_out]

Thanks, I think probably it ain't gonna work.

[afailedmurder]

Mm. And I can't say I like it... but it may be best if we play along.

[afailedmurder]

There's no need to apologize. It's not as if it's your fault, I'm sure.

[redcarnation]

[ Opens mouth. Closes mouth. Tries again. ]

And yet you're already all dressed up as cupid?

[ Or... whatever else these wings are supposed to mean. ]

[slice_of_life]

[Blinks!]

W-Why were you carrying a spear?

[Well, seeing in her in a position where she couldn't suddenly pounce on her does make her a little less on-edge...]

When you said 'last time'... do you mean 'here,' here, or... a similar situation?

[purrtagonist]

I think it's pretty safe to say that neither of us are going on a weed-date anytime soon, then.

[was this important to clarify??]
