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.]

Romance and passion? I suppose it can't be all bad then.

[ he says that with a laugh and picks up a tablet.

he's looking at it exactly as though he's never touched one before. in fact he's holding it upside down ]

[helptilistop]

[ Swinging around in front of him after approaching from behind, Astolfo puts one hand on top of the tablet, one on the bottom, and casually flips it over before putting it back where he found it. ]

There ya go!

[tocatchafallingapple]

Oh! So that's how you hold it?

[helptilistop]

Well, it's a lot easier to read right side up, isn't it?

[tocatchafallingapple]

How could you tell it was the right side up, though?

[helptilistop]

Well, usually, they put the "on" button on the front.

[ Which he presses, to demonstrate. ]

Like so!

[tocatchafallingapple]

--It lit up!

[helptilistop]

Yup! I'm not too good with modern technology, so that's about as far as I can tell you, though.

[tocatchafallingapple]

It's more than what I would have known, at least.

[loveisanopenseal]

Yes, it sounds like it'll be an adventure.

[tocatchafallingapple]

A romantic adventure.

[loveisanopenseal]

Or a passionate one.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Romantically passionate.

[loveisanopenseal]

That is the most accurate description we can give.

[tocatchafallingapple]

I'm glad you agree.

[dismemberthename]

What a carefree attitude... That's upside down.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Oh is it? How can you tell?

[dismemberthename]

The logo on the back looks wrong. Here, try it the other way.

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ looks at the logo. and then flips it around ]

Like this?

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, that looks better. If you hit the button on the top right now, the screen should turn on.

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ pushes the button ]

--It lit up!

[dismemberthename]

Exactly. Now you can navigate by touching the screen.

[cantry]

You don't even think romance is "all bad" sometimes? Wow, you're a real creep. Remind me to not date you.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Romance can be very nice, for the right people!

[cantry]

Yeah, but sticking two people together and adding kissing doesn't make everything okay like magic.
