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.]

[looking around, taking in the surroundings, curling and uncurling his hands]

Very well. What is the plan?

[it's easy to just fall right back into step, even if it doesn't feel like a dangerous atmosphere, even if they're unarmed]

[purrtagonist]

[unarmed and without powers to boot]

We should stick together. The rules forbid violence, but I don't trust that it won't eventually change.

[you can't trust a chinchilla any more than you can trust a raccoon]

[justpure]

[Who needs gross things when you have anthropology?]

I... I'll need some time to think about it. Forgive me.

[sunbottles]

Monika! [Now here is someone who could actually be a formidable opponent in a dating game.]

It's super weird! Ehehe... even weirder that it looks like we were all brought in together. But I'm glad none of us are alone!

[justpure]

Ah... OW! Be careful back there!

[The bandages only go down to his forearms. They do not protect the rest of the body.]

[daughterofthemark]

Thank you! But you are very cute as well, so I'm certain you'll make a fine showing.

[Arianna's picking up that Sayori could use some encouragement, but actually this comment is entirely unrelated to that and is just her natural reaction.]

...though I suppose I cannot claim to speak from experience.

[artisticliberty]

[the only fuzzy animal u can trust is cat]

Do you recall the layout of the building? The front door is obviously barred, but are there any other exits?

[sunbottles]

[She will reclaim those happy thoughts! But the comfort turned her way causes Sayori to almost instinctively deflect.]

I'm not worried! Just... surprised, maybe? Yeah.

Uuuu, I was really looking forward to a nap when I got home, too...

[cluelesscavewoman]

Because I am a samurai that specialises in spears. [Like its the most obvious answer in the world.]

Judge. It was this place. They have changed the rules this time.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Several minutes.

[sunbottles]

Well, I am super not the right person to take!

[daughterofthemark]

[What's with all these pretty people helping Arianna she's gonna explode or something]

Please, if you would.

[sunbottles]

[Oh god this spells chaos in capital letters]

H-hey! Maybe we should wait a little before picking fights and stuff, yeah?

[daughterofthemark]

Either way, that seems to be what we are accomplishing nevertheless. Speaking of which, my name is Arianna.

[daughterofthemark]

Goodness, that is an interesting principle! But I believe the magic users I know would be most pleased to learn they were scientists all along.

[cluelesscavewoman]

But they said eating food with father and Kazuno at bars does not count.

[hopegloats]

[ It takes a moment for Komaeda to register who he's seeing, and he leans a little closer as if to confirm it, his voice containing a vague passive aggression and a fair amount of skepticism. ]

Well isn't this a surprising twist.

[purrtagonist]

[CORRECT]

There's a control room on the fourth floor. The portal home is located there, but I thought we blew it up before we left.

[hopegloats]

Before? Or currently, I wonder. I'm not convinced it ever ended, even if a few minutes ago the stakes were much higher. That sounds strange doesn't it? But up until now the theme was murder.

[sunbottles]

Who, me? No way! What would I do with a boyfriend, anyway, hehe.

[She actually nods along, laughing gently.]

Right, right, I have, like, no experience for this period. [Because she was too hung up on a certain someone but that's neither here nor there] But if we gotta be here, we might as well have some fun, right?

[Right. Right. She's the optimistic one that always makes everything a fun adventure. No reason to not be that person here.]

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda blinks up from his tablet, aware he's being stared at. ]

Is something wrong?

[hopegloats]

You don't know? But ah, I guess you wouldn't since I've never seen you before. Up until now they were primarily rules for murder. Isn't it great that it's changed?

[bladeisme]

You're at Nope's Peak.

[Ichigo is pretty imposing right now, sorry about that - even with the pair of Akira's glasses that he got hanging from his shirt.]

Don't know if that means anything to you, though.

[artisticliberty]

It is a place to start. But can we get there without being noticed?

[artisticliberty]

[yusuke looks him up and down, assessing... and then points at the glasses]

It does. You should return those.
