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.]

Oh, Master's fast at figuring it out!

[starinhereye]

It's not difficult . . . As long as you don't think too hard about it . . .

[but setting it aside carefully]

[tocatchafallingapple]

It's far different from anything we've ever seen before.

[starinhereye]

I know that. That's why I said, if you don't think too hard about it. That means you shouldn't think about it right now.

[tocatchafallingapple]

It's just interesting, that's all. [ but he's also setting his own aside for the time being ]

Did Master suddenly find himself here too?

[starinhereye]

[scratching his head]

Yeah, just like everyone else here. These two could use some tips on how to set the mood, like consent.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Hmm, so it would seem.

[ looks to the side and slides in a bit closer. serious face is on ]

Master, I don't want to alarm you, but I should mention it now.

[starinhereye]

[leaning back out a bit on instinct but straightening up as he doesn't step away . . . in case, he's actually being serious . . . ]

What is it?

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ i am always serious ]

The mention of "murder" may have been more than just a bad joke.

[starinhereye]

[and focusing]

I can tell. Some people are outright terrified. What do you think about it?

[tocatchafallingapple]

We should be on guard more. I spoke to one of them, and he mentioned that he was one of the ones who died.

[starinhereye]

Mm.

Do you remember how you got here, Obi?

[tocatchafallingapple]

I was just walking when I found myself here.

[starinhereye]

I don't have a clue, either. I can't imagine anything short of a miracle getting past Mitsuhide and Kiki to get to me. It's probably the same for everyone else, too.

We're already overpowered.

[tocatchafallingapple]

I can't imagine how they're feeling right now. [ especially poor mitsuhide ]

Hm, we are. And we don't know how things might turn out.

1/2

[starinhereye]

We'll find out. —I'll find out, for months.

[uughhhhh, no . . . ]

[starinhereye]

But you're right, we don't know. Imagining the worst isn't going to help the situation, though. Between trusting them and not trusting them, we have more to gain from giving them a chance, right? So, let's do that.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Right.

[ but sticking in your space and whispering ]

So, romance and passion, Master.

[starinhereye]

[shoving a rose in Obi's face]

You're in your element. And I don't want to know unless you're marrying them.

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ taking the rose and sticking it behind an ear ]

Would Master approve of me getting married?

[starinhereye]

[considers that image before answering]

Of course. I always have and will. Do you want to?

[tocatchafallingapple]

[ he freezes for the slightest moment. a feeling is happening ]

No, not right now at least.

[starinhereye]

I didn't think so . . .

[gears are still turning, though]

Let me know? Whenever you change your mind.

[tocatchafallingapple]

I believe Master would be the first to know.

[starinhereye]

You should still tell me. You're always particular about when you want to talk about something.
