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.]

[ With a fairly incredulous look, he scoops one of the tablets up and pages through it ]

Y-You gotta be kidding me! Again?!

[tsunderine]

"Again"?

[ that causes her to arch a brow ]

Has something like this happened to you before?

[liftoft]

Tch--yeah! Like, just last week, actually? Are these kinda things really that popular?

[tsunderine]

I don't know anything about popularity since I'm not aware of these types of games back home, but-- can you tell me what happened in the last one you were in? Maybe that might help us out now.

[justpure]

[Well, looks like someone survived the carnage at the Academy...]

Mamota-kun? I don't think the Chinchillas are bloodthirsty. Perhaps we should count this as a blessing.

[liftoft]

Shinguji? Ah--well, yeah, I mean... they're chinchillas. Chinchillas are herbivores, right?

[purrtagonist]

[squinting at his own tablet like it kicked his puppy, threw his kitten out of a window, and ate the last cookie out of the jar all at once]

Kidnapping must be extremely trendy these days.

[liftoft]

No kidding... and for something this tacky. Don't get wrong, going on dates and all can be kinda fun, but it shouldn't really be done like this...

[fightingoverdose]

You end up nabbed by weird fluffy thingers a lot? Or are you the guy behind all this?

[liftoft]

[ Well he was gonna answer the first part, but ]

W-What the hell! Why would I be behind this?!

[lefthandpath]

Again?

Is this something they do often?

[hi, Victorian era streetrat here doesn't know how these tablets work.]

[liftoft]

Well, I don't actually know who's in charge of this, but I was actually just in another game just like this. Is it really that interesting to make kids date each other?

[truthstranger]

[ Shuichi just stares in disbelief from about ten feet away for an awkward amount of time before he finally croaks: ]

M-Momota-kun?

[liftoft]

[ --He turns around at the familiar voice and grins, all sunny enthusiasm again, annoyance temporarily put aside ]

Haha, hey, Shuichi! Bad luck, huh?

[loveisanopenseal]

Again?

[liftoft]

Yeah--I actually just came from one of these! Is it really that interesting of a premise?

[hopegloats]

[ INTERESTING ]

Hmm? You've done this sort of thing before?

wtf I missed this 8(

[liftoft]

Yeah--! Like... really recently, actually? Bad luck, right?

[afailedmurder]

[casual approach! normal boy interaction! definitely not at all watching from a distance!]

Hello there! Are you friends with Saihara-kun?

[liftoft]

[ ?? Gives him a look that can best be described as 'cautiously friendly' Why would anybody he doesn't recognize know Shuichi? ]

You mean Shuichi? Yeah--what about him?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Raises hand]

You have been in a place like this as well?

[assent]

You have been through something quite similar as well? However, I must admit... if this were a show it would be quite popular in my country. If some people were to meet and fall in love even in a place like this... wouldn't that be rather exciting?!

[ Why is she getting worked up about this ]

[liftoft]

Ah, well... I guess it'd be a little exciting, but kind of weird to think about too, isn't it? Would you really want a bunch of people watching you have, y'know, private special time with someone?

[dismemberthename]

Something like this has happened to you before?

[liftoft]

Ah, yeah... really recently, actually. We got locked in and told we had to fall in love to be let go. It was--weird.
