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.]

So?

That doesn't mean you can't spend time with us here.

[dismemberthename]

I wish. This one seems harder to just not attend, though. [says the person who looks straight out of a historical manga. ok.]

[purrtagonist]

Doubtful.

We'd have to disguise ourselves as the locals and sneak in the back way.

[AKIRA DOES WEIRD EXTREMELY WELL]

[dismemberthename]

Were a lot of the people here now there last time...?

[hopegloats]

[ Just. Laughs. ]

It doesn't really matter, does it? One or both of us is remembering something entirely false. There's no reconciling this.

[purrtagonist]

[it's fine, by now he has seen all types]

Maybe if we figure out how to forge a doctor's note, they'll send us home.

[motorcycle_noises]

Sure. Gimme a sec.

[ Tatsuya clears his throat, then starts making sounds that do, in fact, sound remarkably like a construction drill. ]

[assent]

[ That sounds surprisingly fun???? Definitely below her station, but with a diguise does it even matter. ]

I would like to give it a shot! [ sTOP ] I'm sure if we combined our efforts, it would be no problemo!

[lacrimose]

[Hearing the part about the ghosts just makes him sob, but when she mentions their going home, he stares at her in disbelief, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand.]

Were you happy, before they took you back here?

[hopegloats]

[ Watching as he goes through his range of emotions. ]

Did you find something interesting? Was there a mistake?

[purrtagonist]

[holy shit]

[this is AWESOME. as far as useless talents are concerned, anyway]

[he's totally giving Tatsuya a nice golf clap at the end]

[dismemberthename]

Why's that?

[assent]

If it is truly worrying you, however... I do not wish to simply sweep it under the log. [ Rug. But whatever... Island mode really helps with this. ] You are my friend, after all.

[purrtagonist]

[just. makes a face, expression contorted into so many irritated emotions it's hard to pick out just one]

They've listed me under another name. Ah. . .

It's Joker.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Excuse you, that talent was surprisingly useful against demons.

Tatsuya gives a little bow at the clapping. ]

Thank you.

[purrtagonist]

[no one is ever above disguising and sneaking into places like it's a Mission Impossible film!!]

[anyway, just. gives a thumbs up]

I'll let you know if I ever manage to find the gate to hell.

[afailedmurder]

Six that I've seen so far, including myself. And there would appear to be others who were in similar games as well.

[lacrimose]

If you do anything to hurt the humans here, I'll kill you.

[dismemberthename]

[good luck kind of sidles in beside her, then, facing the tablet so they can both see it.] It looks like they've got a list of everyone here.

[purrtagonist]

Of course. One day, I hope you take your show on the road.

[assent]

[ Princesses are supposed to behave better than that, okay!! ]

I would be very grateful if you did. Oh--! [ She stops suddenly, surprised again with her hand flying to her mouth. ] Please forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself.

[ With that said, she straightens herself up again, giving him a smaller smile this time. ] My name is Sonia Nevermind, Princess of the Kingdom of Novoselic. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ How rehearsed is this line by now jfc ]

[fightingoverdose]

How much more dire, what's goin' on?

[motorcycle_noises]

...I don't think I'll really have a chance.

[ He's got a post-apocalyptic alternate reality to return to. ]

[dismemberthename]

[what is a tact] Wow, they really took people who are already spoken for? That's obnoxious.

[dismemberthename]

I definitely didn't have one of those, but also it's none of your business.
