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.]

[lacrimose]

[This Akira mostly just looks confused, but he doesn't stop crying, his shoulders shaking as he sniffles.]

So many people must have been hurt... And now you're back here again...

[purrtagonist]

[he doesn't stay leaning forward for long, at least! pulls back as soon as the shock registers on her expression, and hooks a hand into the strap of his school bag]

[totally unfazed by the dark lord thing]

Sorry; I hate to disappoint. I may not be a Dark Lord myself, but I do have some connections.

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda is CLEARLY relieved. This is the sort of answer he wanted. ]

Ha. Haha. Of course. Obviously no one would have such a useless talent as 'Pleasant Boy'.

[assent]

Some connections?

[ She still hasn't perked up again just yet, but she doesn't look like she's disappointed anymore. ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . so that is how he's playing it huh]

What?? How-- no no, last time I was the Ultimate Barista.

[flipping his own tablet over to check, and]

. . . ah.

[Joker: Ultimate Executioner]

[justpure]

[He glances up at the woman... How helpless he is in these bounds.]

I don't think the one who did this to me cared for my safety at all.

[justpure]

We'll see...

[purrtagonist]

Just a bit.

[rocks back on his heel, kicking at the ground idly]

The mechanics were similar to the rules they've given us now. Only instead of date nights, they were killing nights. People could partner up with each other to form alibis, but if you trusted the wrong person, then--

[and he trails off, because it's pretty obvious what he means]

[pecker]

[There's so many civilians around here, but Natsuki is the smallest and the angriest one she's seen yet. Her outrage is outright comical.]

Oh... do your family and friends have some way to break down the big scary door? Or the iron windows? It would be so great if anyone would rescue us!

[The Niwa clan would be capable, she's sure. Willing, though? She doubts it, if her absence from the taisen has already cost her the victory.]

[justpure]

Ah...

[Wait... Those names... Could that be?]

Yes! They were my classmates, and we were trapped in the same nightmare... How do you know them?

[purrtagonist]

I'm on good terms with Satanael.

[SAID. . . SO BLANDLY]

[purrtagonist]

[perks up immediately. BINGO. friend of Shuichi: found]

I know them both from the killing game in which I participated a few months ago.

They were players, too.

[assent]

[ The only problem she isn't sure whether to believe him this time or if she's even correct about what he's referring to. It is "Satan"eal though, so... ]

Satanael?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya flicks his lighter open and shut again, frowning as he does. ]

So it's not out of the question that it could happen again.

[purrtagonist]

[heh]

You're sharp.

Can't trust a chinchilla any more than you can trust a raccoon.

[afailedmurder]

[takes a look at his own tablet]

Of course not. And "Stepping Stone" isn't a talent, either. You really shouldn't take any of it to heart.

[cluelesscavewoman]

But Erika-dono is not here. How can I do the same if she is not present?

[pecker]

[Now Niwatori's pouting a bit.]

I'm not supposed to take orders from rats, you know...

[pecker]

Why do you want me to find out?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Well, guess she's back to awkwardly staring and wondering what to do.]

Seven people survived and did not need to be revived at the end. We were stuck as ghosts until then. It was frustrating to watch them.

When we were able to go home we could pick the conditions we wanted. So everyone was able to choose a place they would be happiest.

[Is she helping?]

[motorcycle_noises]

Not even as far as you can throw 'em.

[ Tatsuya gets it. ]

[purrtagonist]

I'm here. And so is Ichigo.

[purrtagonist]

[I MEAN HE IS ONLY. . . HALF LYING. . . still Sonia doesn't deserve this]

The demon who rebelled against a god. [a pause] And won.

[gotta add that last part]

[plsbully]

[ he squints at his own tablet, seeming dubious ]

I have never heard of this ... Ultimate ... Chuuni before. I hardly see how I can be the "ultimate" of something unfamiliar to me.

[purrtagonist]

[same page, get!!]

Akira Kurusu, by the way. And you?

[flipping his tablet in his hand to scroll through the profiles as he asks]
