Trash Squad Day 1 - GAME START

[ 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.]

To either brag about their success, or encourage us to be more entertaining or else the network will cancel the rest of the season.

Perhaps if we're "entertaining" enough, they won't decide to kill us...?

[ddddubious]

That's not a bet I'm willing to take.

[ALSO DUBIOUS]

You can't trust a chinchilla.

We should organize quickly; before things escalate.

Right.

[no arguments on this end]

From the last round, I've seen you, me, Ichigo, Rin, Futayo and Shuichi. Yusuke is-- [nnnngh his expression darkens slightly] -- also here.

The mechanics seem to work similarly to last time. If we all look out for each other, we should be okay.

Shuichi would appear to have some old friends here as well.

[and I am perfectly fine with that, yup, totally a-ok]

[ARE YOU, REALLY]

He told me, though I've only spoken to Shinguji so far.

[a pause]

Are you all right?

I'm concerned for him. The one I met, Momota, is from his "carrot" timeline. I imagine it must be... difficult.

[it's cool, it's fine, this is just the guy that he is still upset about, except probably from the timeline where they were actually dating, that's all]

Edited 2018-02-17 00:46 (UTC)

The one where his killing game was a dating game?

[he suddenly sees exactly what is going on here]

Yeah. It probably is difficult, to meet an old friend who has different memories than yours. He'll need someone to support him while he figures out what to do.

[HINT HINT]

[SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS, STALK HIM]

R-right, of course. I'm here for him, no matter what.

[NO MATTER WHAT]

[THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT WHAT HE IS SAYING. AT ALL]

Mmm. So don't worry too much about it, okay?

He's with you for a reason.

[still attempting the pep talk, though]

[GOT IT, STALK HIM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE]

Of course, you're right. There are others in this world who might be better-suited to a relationship, but nobody would love him as much as I do.

[perking up some]

Thank you. Speaking with you always clears my mind.

[HOO BOY, TIME TO GUIDE AKECHI TO HEALTHY ROMANTIC FEELINGS AND NOT POSSESSIVE AND JEALOUS ONES]

[jabs a finger at him]

Thaaaaaat is absolutely not what I meant, and possessiveness is a real turn off. By the way.

That's not possessiveness! It's a simple fact!

It's a little possessive. "Nobody would love him as much as I do."

[BLUNT]

"Love" isn't a competition.

[ignoring the fact that this is a competitive dating game but YOU KNOW]

It is when the version of him that that guy knows is simultaneously dating 15 people!

Okay, but the version of him that you know isn't, and that's an extremely important distinction.

I know, I know. Home field advantage, right?

[lets out a little tryhard chuckle before remembering he is allowed to be honest about his feelings. he's still not used to that]

But it can be... difficult, seeing how easy it is for him to become close to others.

[yes good, sharing feelings is much better than being quietly determined to stalk your boyfriend]

[he lets out a small "hmmmm. . ."

Are you worried he'll grow so close to the people here that he'll decide you aren't worth it?

[technically I can do both]

I have some concern he may realize that, yes. But it's... baser than that. We'll both be off winning hearts, Shuichi with his irresistible sincerity and me with my old song and dance, but the difference is that he'll be enjoying the company of others while I spend the entire time only wishing I were with him.

[that's true]

Try talking to him about it. Maybe you can come to some understanding that helps the time you spend away from him seem less. . . [what's the word] Lonely?

Why does it feel like that's your solution to everything?

[because talk to your boyfriend, stupid]

[TALK TO YOUR BOYFRIEND STUPID]

Gee, it's almost as if relationships thrive on good communication.

We don't have any issues with communication! I just don't want him to think that I'm jealous.

Are you jealous?

[that's a blunt question]
