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.]

[ this short high-school aged kid is busy paging through a tablet. if he's bothered by any of this, it doesn't show. ]

Uh oh, I smell a copyright infringement lawsuit!

[tsunderine]

Do you think we can actually sue them for all of this?

[ Because she totally would if it means getting money out of it. ]

[smalltales]

We can totally get millions! Billions, even! I'd know, I'm a lawyer!

[tsunderine]

You look too young to be a lawyer.

[truthstranger]

...O...Ouma-kun?

[ there are so many people here he never thought he'd see again. or ever, in reality. he looks kind of wobbly, at this point ]

[smalltales]

[ a small tilt of the head, still just wearing his default opaque smile ]

What's up, Saihara-chan? You look like you've seen a ghost.

[truthstranger]

Y-Yes, that's more or less what it feels like.

[justpure]

.......

[Oh god, not that guy.]

[smalltales]

[ this guy ]

Yo, Shinguji-chan! Fancy meeting you here!

[justpure]

Oma-kun. I didn't think I would see you here either.

[He is not in the mood for your gremlin-ness, Kokichi. Please leave him alone.]

[purrtagonist]

There might already be a lawsuit pending, actually.

[Nope's Peak is bad at copyright]

[smalltales]

Darn it! I wanted to be the first to the punch and reap all the benefits!

[purrtagonist]

You know what they say. You snooze, you lose.

[appleofhiseye]

Is that something that would be a priority for these people?

[she is kind of curious, actually]

[smalltales]

Nobody can ignore legal action! Unless they're, I dunno, part of a secret evil organization or something.

[appleofhiseye]

Aren't kidnappers usually shady people who might be part of an evil organization?

[assent]

Are there not already many dating shows similar to this, however?

[ Why is her television knowledge so weird tbh ]

[smalltales]

The mascots are reaaaally pushing the envelope, though.

[assent]

The envelope?

[ Her head cants to the side, not quite Getting It ]

[dismemberthename]

There's a franchise?

[smalltales]

Yep! Didn't know it was big enough to have imitators, though!

[hopegloats]

What an interesting way to put it. You're not worried about being trapped?

[smalltales]

Couldn't I ask you the same thing? You don't look all that freaked out.

[discerp]

[Honestly, same.]

H-hopefully Monokuma w-won't be making an appearance any time soon... [She can perfectly see the bear popping up to yell about copyright infringement or something. Anyway this comment is muttered more to herself than to him, her fingers twisting anxiously as she eyes him]

[smalltales]

[ suddenly very forcefully, for whatever reason ]

Hey, mumbling is rude! If you have something to say, speak up!
