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 see. I'd like to meet them.

[purrtagonist]

[shifts from one foot to the next, hands stealing to his pockets, gaze steady on her features. he could be imagining things, but she looks so much like. . .]

Her name is Lavenza.

[. . .]

[cccasually throws that out there, just to see how she reacts]

[loveisanopenseal]

[She doesn't react at all.]

Oh. I would in fact like to meet her. After all, it's an amazing coincidence that she shares a name with my sister ~ ♪.

1/2

[purrtagonist]

[HOLY SHIT]

[purrtagonist]

[but his response is super casual]

Huh. . . that's some coincidence. The world is a pretty funny place.

[loveisanopenseal]

It's true. There are many things that you cannot predict to happen. Even I have been surprised . . .

[purrtagonist]

I doubt anyone intended to accept admission into a mu-- . . . dating academy today.

[god he's got to train himself to stop referring to this as murder school]

[loveisanopenseal]

It is pretty surprising. Especially since some people appear to have been here before.

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . . well]

[rrraises a hand]

That group would include me.

[loveisanopenseal]

I see you've also participated in illegal activities and environmental destruction.

[purrtagonist]

[wait WHAT]

What? No! I haven't done anything to the environment.

[only, like. denying one of those. sure, Akira]

[loveisanopenseal]

I have heard this was the theme of the last game.

[purrtagonist]

Who told you that?

[loveisanopenseal]

[points to Rin, the boy one]

[purrtagonist]

[OKAY, WELL]

Something probably got lost in translation. The theme of the last game was murder.

[loveisanopenseal]

I'm aware. A dramatic change, isn't it?

[purrtagonist]

[deep exhale]

Just a little bit.

[loveisanopenseal]

You will manage to adjust.

[purrtagonist]

Adaptation is a talent. It's something I'm good at.

[in other words, yeah, he will]

I'm Akira. And you are?

[loveisanopenseal]

You do appear to be someone who can . . .

[There is a familiar look in his eyes, but it's hard to really know without all of her powers.]

I am Elizabeth. You might say I've retired from my old duties in search for an answer to a question I seek.

[purrtagonist]

[a rare moment when he has a leg up over a Velvet Room Attendant. . . if only because her attire, her appearance, and her ties to Lavenza tipped him off]

Hm. . . and what's the question?

[loveisanopenseal]

[smiling]

If I find the answer, I'll know.

[purrtagonist]

One of those. . .

[kicks at the ground]

You're the mysterious sort, aren't you, Elizabeth-san?

[she gets an honorific because she's a Velvet]

[loveisanopenseal]

I don't find myself very mysterious at all.

[purrtagonist]

That's only because you already have the answers.

[said with a lilt of amusement]
