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.]

[discerp]

Eep! [She yelps and jumps, quickly waving her hand and the tablet around]

I-I'm fine! I'm not hurt o-or anything, I-I'm sorry for worrying you, please forgive me!

[lefthandpath]

[... oh. it's a Miranda type.

smiles gently and holds up his hands in a pacifying gestures.]

It's all right. I forgive you.

[discerp]

[That... is pretty accurate actually.

She looks surprised.] Y-you do? Just like that?

[lefthandpath]

Mm. Just like that.

My name's Allen Walker. It's nice to meet you.

[right hand for shaking?]

[discerp]

[She looks at his hand apprehensively, before shakily extending her own to take it, like she's expecting him to suddenly smack her hand away or something]

Pl-pleased to meet you, Walker-san. I-if it's okay to remember your name, I'd like to... [Oh right, her own name!]

I-I'm [He'd introduced himself the western way, right?? She'll do the same then] Mikan Tsumiki!

[lefthandpath]

[he is very gentle in taking her hand, shaking it slowly.]

It's nice to meet you, Miss Tsumiki. And please, you can call me Allen, if you'd like. Though "Walker-san" is perfectly fine, too.

[discerp]

N-nice to meet you too, uh, um-- [Her eyes scan his face, trying to determine just which he might actually prefer she use more, before she just settles with being polite] Walker-san!

Um... I don't suppose you have any better of an idea what's going on here...?

[lefthandpath]

Er... not completely. I do know that it involves dating people for a grand prize.

[discerp]

I, um. I g-guess it's better than k-killing people!

[why would you even say that]

[lefthandpath]

[... probably because of what you were freaking out about before.]

Mm. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about with that, Miss Tsumiki. I certainly won't allow for something like that to happen here.

[discerp]

[She smiles a little, then looks uneasy.]

...But people that say things like that are usually the first ones to die... I-isn't this what's called a, um, death flag?

[lefthandpath]

[... oh boy.

how to put this.]

Ah, well... I can't say I don't have something like that, but I don't believe this will be the place that I'll be done in. So to speak.

Miss Tsumiki, as scary as it is, the most important thing is to continue to move forward. I'm just hoping to be able to do so together with everyone here, so I'll work hard to make that happen.

[discerp]

[Mikan still looks a little apprehensive, but she shakes her head with a fond, wistful sort of expression that's not really directed at him]

Y-you remind me of one of my friends... I think h-he'd say something similar if he were here...

But, um, pl-please be careful regardless. Oh! Um! A-nd if you get hurt, I can help! A-as long as you don't die, I can d-definitely help! I'm a nurse, so, um...

[lefthandpath]

I'd appreciate any help if I run into trouble!

And it's... funny, because. You remind me of a friend from home, also. And she's also... someone who wishes everyone to stay safe. So I'll definitely take you up on your offer if I should need it.
