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.]

But I have not starved? [ Komaeda... r u ok ] We were on the island before, where we were doing tasks for Usami as our goal to get along and collect the hope fragments.

[ She says it slowly, just in case she's messing up language wise again or something similar. ]

Komaeda-san, are you quite all right?

[discerp]

[Just leave her here to die tbh. she already can see her future execution being voted off.] I-I'm n-not going to make it past week one...!

[But Sonia is calm and reassuring as ever and Mikan forces herself to take a few deep breaths.] Y-yes, I suppose... B-but how do they do dating where you're from? I, um, I guess it wouldn't be that much different, but...

[plsbully]

Ha! I doubt I'd be recognized so easily. But I have been known as many things - - the King of the Cavern, Sinbad the Sailor, Abbe Busoni...

[redcarnation]

You talk about 'younger people' as if that didn't concern you. Don't tell me you've never dated anyone?

[plsbully]

Hmm? You believe it was indeed a mistake?

[redcarnation]

"Suspicious" is such an understatement.

[ Niwatori's attire gets a curious glance-over, before Isuke moves back to the topic at hand. ]

It's pretty swift for a kidnapping, too. Isuke can't even remember being knocked out or anything.

[cantry]

[Pointing at her.]

You know what? You. You're cool. I like the way you think.

[assent]

[ Mikan slow your roll. ] I will not hear of it! [ Her voice shifts almost instantly, becoming a little more commanding, authoratitive. ]

Though I am not certain my knowledge will help me here either. I am more used to galas and balls where potential suitors would meet.

[ Is isn't like she's dated either, Mikan????? ]

I would say courting is similar, only that there is little contact until you have professed your love for one another and completed the necessary rituals.

[ why did you do this to me ]

[hopegloats]

It would seem that way. More than that, the idea of pitting Ultimates against one another. It makes you wonder what they really hope to achieve, doesn't it?

[cantry]

What, you think I wear the new uniform as three high school girls for fun? This is some Valentine's prank, not Halloween.

[Isuke the expert button pusher will probably see a layer of unmitigated hurt immediately under the indignation - and yet Natsuki doesn't seem at all surprised at the allegation that her body itself has a grade school look.]

[clocked_out]

It's so incredibly opposite of my thing, I'm basically allergic to it.

[redcarnation]

... and I wasn't even trying to bully you, too.

[ Talk about easy?! ]

[hopegloats]

Could it be that you mean it was a killing game?

[cantry]

Trust you to say that kind of thing, Sayori.

[The smile on her face is half genuine half forced. It's the best literature club member! And yet now she's stuck hearing from these pervy rodents too... Sad.]

[lacrimose]

Huh. Tell me if you find anything interesting, while I work on getting us out of here.

[lacrimose]

What happened? Did you escape... or win?

[hopegloats]

[ Leaning a little closer with a smile, clearly interested in this super calm guy. ]

Would you mind telling me your name? For introductions, of course.

[redcarnation]

[ Everyone here is so loud... ]

What, you think you just ask them and they'll do it? Isn't that a little naive?

[helptilistop]

Pshhh, don't worry so much! They can't just go and change the rules in the middle of a game, that's not how these things work!

At least, I'm pretty sure. Never really paid much attention to the rules, y'know?

[hopegloats]

So you did. That's admirable. You must have worked hard and had quite a will to live.

[ he smiles ]

I'm Nagito Komaeda. Nice to meet you.

[lacrimose]

[Akira seems to be quietening down after no one immediately comes to fight him, at least, though he's still incredibly agitated.]

I don't expect them to listen to me. I'm trying to provoke them.

[helptilistop]

Weeeeell, I don't mean to brag, but you ever heard of the Matter of France? Because it just so happens I'm one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne!

[hopegloats]

[ Okay, that gets a confused look. He eases up on his tone, but only enough to ask the obvious question. ]

Again? What are you talking about?

[hopegloats]

You would think so, wouldn't you? But one minute I'm there, and now -

[ he gestures around ]

[afailedmurder]

We should organize quickly; before things escalate.
