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'm not certain. It isn't clear what the selection criteria were for this event. Is there some reason you shouldn't have been chosen?

[sunbottles]

Well, I mean... I don't remember signing up for anything. And there's no way I'd be any good at this, ehehe.

[daughterofthemark]

I never volunteered for anything of this nature, either. So perhaps there truly has been a mixup... or perhaps we were simply selected at random? But you surely have nothing to worry about.

[sunbottles]

[She gives a small smile.]

I don't know... with someone cute like you in a dating game? I don't have a chance!

[It's said to lighten the mood, mainly, as Sayori becomes uncomfortably aware of the concern being sent her way.]

[daughterofthemark]

Thank you! But you are very cute as well, so I'm certain you'll make a fine showing.

[Arianna's picking up that Sayori could use some encouragement, but actually this comment is entirely unrelated to that and is just her natural reaction.]

...though I suppose I cannot claim to speak from experience.

[sunbottles]

Who, me? No way! What would I do with a boyfriend, anyway, hehe.

[She actually nods along, laughing gently.]

Right, right, I have, like, no experience for this period. [Because she was too hung up on a certain someone but that's neither here nor there] But if we gotta be here, we might as well have some fun, right?

[Right. Right. She's the optimistic one that always makes everything a fun adventure. No reason to not be that person here.]

[daughterofthemark]

No, I very much mean it.

[...she doesn't even know her name yet but she's already reached a state of youlikekrabbypattiesdontyousquidward.jpg.]

But yes, it's most important that we enjoy ourselves. In the end, that is the purpose of such a competition, is it not?

[Have some 100% real optimism! Maybe it'll be contagious?]

[sunbottles]

Right! If we're here, then we gotta at least have fun!

[But yes, she really must introduce herself]

I'm Sayori! I'm from... well, maybe not around here, actually. It's kinda hard to tell, ehehe.
