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.]

Of course I've figured it out, but I didn't think it my place to break it to you. I don't doubt that you know him and vice versa, but the two of you are from different timelines.

[assent]

So it would seem. [ She sighs softly, definitely concerned now. ] Friendship was just a much easier goal. This, however...

[ She expects to be treated like the lady she is at least! ]

[cluelesscavewoman]

Rin-dono says that dates have kisses and I should watch what you do to learn.

[Rin why]

[lacrimose]

I guess they could just shoot me with those, but they haven't yet.

[Gestures vaguely to the guns at the door.]

[afailedmurder]

I wouldn't be so hasty to make that assumption.

[purrtagonist]

The "find romance" part is, but being trapped? Eh.

[nonchalant shrug]

[afailedmurder]

I survived it.

[hopegloats]

You don't think it's more fair for me to ask you that question?

[ He leans closer. ]

Since I only just saw you die?

[purrtagonist]

Are you sure? It's just going to be more of me staring at a locked door.

Pretty boring stuff.

[cluelesscavewoman]

This is more confusing than last time...

[lacrimose]

You talk like you've done this before.

[redcarnation]

[ Isuke tilts her head, seemingly considering this for a moment, then she shrugs. ]

There's too little hours in a day to spend any of it pitying people who can't change their situation out of their own efforts. There's nothing wrong with compensated dating, but if you want something else and fail to go out and get it? That's your own problem.

[cluelesscavewoman]

I was here two weeks ago.

[redcarnation]

Huh?

[ Isuke gives her tablet another look over. ]

They're just mass manufactured, aren't they?

[purrtagonist]

No, I'm from Japan. I just don't care for formalities, though I'll call you Shinguji if you prefer.

[but yes, that is a digression]

This might be a strange question, but do you know a Shuichi Saihara or a Maki Harukawa?

[discerp]

Um, s-sort of, but... It wasn't dating at all! In comparison... This is more embarrassing, but much better!

[assent]

I am afraid I do not understand, did you not say that you were going to use laser vision or psychokinetic explosions?

[ Quit playing games with my heart.mp3 ]

[hopegloats]

It appears that way. Unless violence is your thing?

[assent]

From what I understand there is often a pressure on younger people to date when they are not ready as well, though that is contradictory to the case I offered before... Therefore, I must agree with you. It seems rather strange to blame anyone else otherwise.

[discerp]

[why is he getting so close stop this. She stares at him a moment, eyes wide in disbelief.] Only... just...? [She echoes him, bewildered and her brow furrows in confusion.]

B-but that-- That's not-- Ah! Y-your memories! Did you lose your memories again? [THAT'S A LOGICAL ASSUMPTION RIGHT?]

[discerp]

Um. [Checks...the rules again.] I think we'll be paired up first, and then we can, um, go on d-dates with other people. And get scores?

[Sorry she'll get back to the idea of searching for everyone in a second but right now she's going t panic about scores] B-but I've never been on a date before! S-Sonia-san, what do we do!? [As if, somehow, Sonia would know.]

[plsbully]

Wouldn't you know if that was the case?

[assent]

It really does sound like a dating show, does it not? [ While Mikan panics and starts dying inside, Sonia still looks calm and serene, like this is nbd. ]

I am certain it will not be too difficult to figure it out. We can always help each other if we are uncertain, correct?

[plsbully]

But you would not be interested enough in seeing what happens to assist?

[hopegloats]

Hunger from so many days of not eating, obviously. Unless... can something like canabalism change your brain?

[ Sonia had been getting weird... ]

Did you end up fighting that hard to survive?
