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.]

[lacrimose]

[This tall, edgy-looking teenager hasn't even bothered looking at his tablet. Instead he's surveying the defences on the front door, trying to figure out his odds of how quickly he can break through before getting filled with bullet holes.

Probably he decides against it, because he starts cracking his knuckles and yelling:]

OI! Let everyone go and let's fight, demons!

[flamingprick]

[Hi yes hello, that has attracted the attention of the actual (half-) demon here.]

Hey! I didn't stick everyone here, don't go yelling at me! And those animals aren't demons either.

[lacrimose]

[well thanks for outing yourself, it makes these things easier???

Just casually marches over and grabs the front of his shirt.]

Animals don't talk.

[cluelesscavewoman]

We are not allowed to do anything violent.

[She is helping.]

[lacrimose]

[Nonchalant shrug.]

So what?

[fightingoverdose]

Pretty sure they're just mutant animals or somethin', but if you wanna rumble, let's do it.

[lacrimose]

Get ready to lose to Devilman!

[...This would be the point where Akira turns into a hugeass devil as he squares up to him, but after an extended pause...

Nothing happens.

He looks down at his hands and over his shoulder, bewildered.]

[lefthandpath]

[....... look. some people can't help if they have headmonsters, so.]

Ah, they're not actually demons, you know. I think the demons would be offended?

[lacrimose]

How are you so sure?

[...Although people do keep mentioning talking animals for some reason...]

[thickandchunky]

Demons? Is that what they are?

[Ike's got a sword at his back, but he's just crossing his arms for the moment.]

[lacrimose]

Yeah. People wouldn't lock others up for a game like this, so it has to be demons.

[justpure]

Keh heh heh heh heh heh...

[WELL! That's the most interesting reaction he's seen all day! And this is certainly the first time he's ever seen someone mistake a couple of chinchillas for demons.]

[The first time he's seen a human willing to fight a demon as well! What a rare specimen of Beauty!]

You really think you can fight your way out of this?

[lacrimose]

[Staaares for a long moment. What's with this creepy guy and his creepy laugh...]

Yeah. Just wait, and I'll find who's behind this and save everyone.

[aria_ardeinae]

With your bare hands?

[ Reyson's wings aren't reliable in the school - he'd prefer to hover, but settles for craning his neck to actually look up at this one. ]

[lacrimose]

[An angel...? Like today wasn't weird enough. Akira stops yelling and looks over at him, flashing a cocky grin.]

I don't need a weapon.

[dismemberthename]

[sort of pauses as if trying to figure out if they'd count as a demon? but shrugs and carries on] They were pretty specific about the whole violence thing, man.

[lacrimose]

So what? If they want to stop me, they can fight me.

[rules are only rules if you agree to them, right?]

[bestmothercat]

[Well, at least this one is not as loud as that redheaded idiot raging over there...

Blue catboy here doesn't mind it as much. ]

Ah? You also fight without weapons? Interesting~. [But this guy doesn't lOOK like a laguz...]

But I might bide my time on figuring out how to break that door down, If I were you. For now.

[lacrimose]

[Akira turns and surveys Ranulf. At first he says nothing, but walks right over to him until they're practically nose-to-nose, glaring at him.

Then he points at his ears.]

Are those real?

[Did he listen to anything Ranulf said at all...]

[sunbottles]

[Oh god this spells chaos in capital letters]

H-hey! Maybe we should wait a little before picking fights and stuff, yeah?

[lacrimose]

Why? Waiting won't make them change their minds.

[And as long as no one gets hurt but him, it's fine, he figures...?]

[redcarnation]

[ Everyone here is so loud... ]

What, you think you just ask them and they'll do it? Isn't that a little naive?

[pummelgranite]

[ She is likewise Edgey As Heck, lots of black leather and glittering skulls. ]

Who, me?

[purrtagonist]

[AKIRA, MEET AKIRA. significantly less edgy-looking dressed in his school uniform, but hey, at least he's got the jacket unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled up and he's ditched that stupid turtleneck for a gray T-shirt, so]

Not sure you're going to get a satisfactory brawl with a pair of stuffed chinchillas.

[misterwormtail]

Let me know how that works out for you, huh? [His tone's dismissive, but... ok, yeah, Peter actually would like to see how that works out for the other guy. Let someone else take the big risks first.]
