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 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.

[liftoft]

Sure, but it wasn't complicated. Basically what it says, y'know? We were all gathered up and told to fall in love! You had to buy special date tickets from the casino and everything. Only people who fell in love were gonna be allowed to go..

[tsunderine]

I see, I see... but buying date tickets from the casino? So what, did you have to gamble to get those tickets?

[liftoft]

They gave us a hundred casino tokens every morning--the tickets were only 100, so if you wanted to play it safe you could just use those to buy yourself a ticket. But then, you only get one a day...

[ he seems. kind of miffed about this ]

[tsunderine]

I see... so the limit of tickets you could buy is one? You can't just buy multiple tickets to use all of them?

[ Not that she would, given how stingy she is, but. Might as well ask, right? ]

[liftoft]

You could buy more tickets if you had more money. And you get more money by...being good at gambling...

[tsunderine]

I see, I see. But by that reaction, it sounds like you were quite the opposite, weren't you?

[liftoft]

Wh--no! Just--I don't gamble at all! My talents are suited for the universe, I can't waste them on gambling!

[tsunderine]

Ah, is that so? But you hesitated, for a second there...

[liftoft]

You're imagining things. I got out, anyway, so I clearly did just fine at dating, no matter how many tickets I had!

[tsunderine]

Hoh... really....? So, who did you end up dating?

[liftoft]

--I don't think it'd mean anything to you if I told you, would it? Not like you know any of them...

[tsunderine]

Maybe not, but you could always tell me about them, right? It would be a good way to waste the time.

[liftoft]

Ha, if you say so! But what about you--what kind of dates are you hoping for?

[tsunderine]

M-- Me?

[ and her face turns bright red at the question ]

What kind of question is that? You're really expecting me to actually just play this game?!

[liftoft]

I mean... do you think you can get away with not playing at all?
