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.]

I see. I heard from someone else something about that, though not in too much detail.

[ She's being way too calm despite that though, still smiling. Being royalty has its downsides in that you can be kidnapped for political leverage, after all. It's worse than this situation. ]

If you do not wish to speak about it I understand, but I am willing to listen if you would like.

[hopegloats]

[ It's very soft, it definitely just flies away all on its own. ]

Does that mean you're happy to be here, too?

[dismemberthename]

Fair enough. So we're in Japan?

[purrtagonist]

[AKIRA, MEET AKIRA. significantly less edgy-looking dressed in his school uniform, but hey, at least he's got the jacket unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up and he's ditched that stupid turtleneck for a gray T-shirt, so]

Not sure you're going to get a satisfactory brawl with a pair of stuffed chinchillas.

[flamingprick]

It is! And even this is a few years beyond my time too.

[dismemberthename]

[shrugs] I'm not really religious.

[cluelesscavewoman]

...But that will make my other friends feel bad.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . he sighs. no point in keeping it a secret. the others have already spoken at length about the murder raccoon part of this game, so he might as well]

Let's just say that round one of this game was a little less. . . [eeeeh wags his hand back and forth in a so-so gesture] Friendly?

[hopegloats]

[ shakes his head ]

I don't. What makes you ask?

[purrtagonist]

Ah. . . [ALL HUMOR GONE NOW] Actually, I don't know. I suspect we aren't.

[misterwormtail]

[He takes this under advisement - ah, yeah, it seems he does need to actually touch the surface of the tablet, but once he's got that figured out it's not too difficult to figure out how to go back and forth between the pages of information.] Ah, yeah, that's got it. I've never seen something like this on glass before. Clever.

[hopegloats]

[ ignoring that mood ]

Then you're lucky. Many people here have been mis-titled.

[purrtagonist]

No it won't.

It's okay to make a lot of friends. Conversely, it's okay to only make a few of them. It just depends on what you want.

[redcarnation]

Well, don't go staring me down like that then. Isuke's got nothing to do with this situation or place.

[ If she did, the place would definitely look different. ]

[aria_ardeinae]

[ What view, there's only a bunch of-

Observe him do a double take at the large scowling man with arms big around as Reyson's thigh. Oh shit, it's Ike ]

[slice_of_life]

A samurai...?

[starinhereye]

Eh, wait, why me?

[takes it but still looking between him and it, very delicately holding it]

[purrtagonist]

[so. . . a different game than the one Shuichi and Maki were in? HOW MANY FUCKING KILLING GAMES EXIST IN THE UNIVERSE]

Those two were in round one with me. But even before that, they had already survived a previous game.

[slice_of_life]

Do we have to? Can't we just go home...?

Um... not that I'm... especially eager to get away from you, or anything...

[plsbully]

Then I doubt you were "summoned" in the sense I was.

[hopegloats]

Ah, but is how I introduce myself really the problem?

[counterfaith]

I see. . .

Do you have a lover?

[plsbully]

Why else would one pursue vengeance? I was wronged, deeply, by those I believed I could trust.

[misterwormtail]

Let me know how that works out for you, huh? [His tone's dismissive, but... ok, yeah, Peter actually would like to see how that works out for the other guy. Let someone else take the big risks first.]

[starinhereye]

Yeah. I couldn't have imagined this on my own. I've never seen anything like it.
