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.]

Can't be sure, people are into all kinds of things~

[ Until literally 10 minutes ago Isuke was attending 10th grade despite being out of school age, so she can't exactly talk anyway. ]

But if you're older than you look, better be grateful that everyone here is youthful-looking. They could've added some more mature people though, if you ask me....

[nice nice have a 5'11" 180# serious thighs banchou aesthetic]

You don't gotta be Christian to qualify, do ya?

[purrtagonist]

[grins a little, pleased with that reaction, even if his shoulders are still a bit tense]

You forge the notes, I'll come up with the excuses. We'll be unstoppable.

[flamingprick]

Flushed? Like...blushing?

[dismemberthename]

...I'm gonna go with being a normal human.

[purrtagonist]

[Futayo plz]

You're still holding a grudge over that?

[starinhereye]

Have you talked with the, ah, talking animals?

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . . well, that melts away his dryly humorous demeanor. he gives a sigh]

It's a familiar sight, that's all. One I didn't think I'd see again.

[cluelesscavewoman]

But Akira said that I should ignore the strange things people are saying about romance. He said that it is the same as last time without murders.

[misterwormtail]

No, wait, go back to the rules. Come on. [And here's a short, mousy boy in his late teens frowning seriously as he... attempts to figure out the tablet. This seems to involve a lot more trying to reason with it that seems totally effective or reasonable. Peter's dressed in robes, but in the casual mid-20th century way where it's basically a loose coat over muggle jeans and t-shirt, so the general effect is probably more "eccentric" than "dramatically anachronistic?"

But hey, if they're supposed to be trying to make dates anyway, might as well start reaching out to the others, right? So he's just going to turn to someone nearby who is, at the very least, less obviously frustrated than he is.]

You have any idea how these things work?

[hopegloats]

[ he looks legitimately pleased ]

Thank you, though to be honest, my real title is Ultimate Lucky Student. Sort of meaningless, I know. I'm not sure how these rosters got everything so confused. Only some of them seem to be correct.

[pummelgranite]

[ Oh heeeeee. ]

Shite no. Preferential treatment will be given to pagans and heretics.

[fightingoverdose]

Sounds like pretty much all there is anywhere, but sure, I get it. Anyways, I figure if this ain't some wacky dream, whoever brought us here oughtta be able to bring us back without too much time passin', so may as well just take the vacation.

[pummelgranite]

. . .


Come again?

[cluelesscavewoman]

I was sleeping. Everyone says that is when I am most dangerous.

[dismemberthename]

Sounds like a plan to me. I'll bust out my best unreadable doctor's handwriting.

[hopegloats]

[ hmm ]

And why did you pursue it before? What was the greater purpose?

[redcarnation]

That's a pretty weak insult for a provocation. I'm sure experienced kidnappers have been called waaayy worse than demons.

[counterfaith]

Well, but I still have much more to learn.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh.

[fightingoverdose]

You got a nice sheen, I can tell you actually spend money on product and don't just steal it from the gym or somethin'. So you gotta think about impact to budget as well as time gettin' ready in the mornin'.

...'Course, I generally don't put in that much effort, but I appreciate it when other people do!

[dismemberthename]

Uh. A little. Mostly I'm not sure whether or not I'm hallucinating them, though.

[purrtagonist]

Sounds like a curse. People are always watching.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh.

[ She wants the attention, but once she has it, what do with it? Certainly not engage in small talk. ]

[plsbully]

[ he is also very into that. he laughs, sharp, but it's not mocking ]

And what are you a destroyer of?
