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.]

[dismemberthename]

Can't say I've heard of it.

[dismemberthename]

I dropped out. This is bullshit.

[starinhereye]

What about you? Where are you from?

[misterwormtail]

I'm not really sure what your reference for "normal" is there, man.

[aria_ardeinae]

Yes?

I am a bird, after all. Surely you don't expect cat puns.

[thickandchunky]

[Also looking really serious.]

Settling down isn't much of a horizon for me.

[thickandchunky]

...Hey, are you alright now?

[afailedmurder]

I'm concerned for him. The one I met, Momota, is from his "carrot" timeline. I imagine it must be... difficult.

[it's cool, it's fine, this is just the guy that he is still upset about, except probably from the timeline where they were actually dating, that's all]

[plsbully]

But you found yourself in magical circumstances regardless?

[thickandchunky]

I like finding new worlds.

...But I haven't decided if I like this one.

[assent]

I would not call it that... However you were correct to assume that I have access to too much wealth already. If it were in my realm of possibilities, I would have handed out some of it to those in need already.

[ She pauses. ]

If you require it so badly, I will not stop you. Please do not become too competitive and hurt others in the process, please.

[dismemberthename]

Japan, originally.

[thickandchunky]

...Yeah, a lot of people tell me that.

[Glances at her spear.]

[dismemberthename]

Yep.

[dismemberthename]

I wasn't really expecting puns at all, to be honest.

[starinhereye]

[seems like zen got stuck looking at Shirayuki's profile and couldn't figure out how back out, watching Shuichi's hands and the screen closely]

Oh, I see it now. Could you show me how to find something else? It doesn't matter what.

[assent]

[ 1/2 is better than 2/2 ]

Then that can be another deal, yes?

[ It's fine, even if she can't tell that's what she's a pro at too -- keeping her composure while being terrified. She may not have lived through a killing game, but her history of being kidnapped by insurgents is still true. It isn't like she has no idea of what this could turn into. ]

[starinhereye]

[shaking his head]

I haven't heard of Japan, either. You're a traveler?

[dismemberthename]

Okay. That's pretty fair, honestly, what with the whole trapped and forced to date thing.

[thickandchunky]

[Oops what are manners?]

...I'm Ike, by the way.

[dismemberthename]

[simply nods] Yeah, pretty much.

[slice_of_life]

[nods]

...

[thickandchunky]

...I can think of a number of people that would.

Nobles and senators, mostly.

[truthstranger]

Ah, yes. I suppose if you had to be here's it's good it's for this version.

[purrtagonist]

It's also bad to dismiss what's in front of you outright just because it looks like "fantasy."
