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.]

[HOW. . . HELPFUL. . .]

I thought maybe I could burn a hole through it with my laser vision.

[he doesn't have laser vision]

[assent]

Amazing! Please keep trying, then!

[ nO ]

[purrtagonist]

[DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM!!]

And if laser vision fails me, I can always fall back onto pyschokinetic explosions.

[assent]

[ But she's good at this. ]

¡Estupendo! Please allow me to watch when you try it! I have not seen anyone do something like that before.

[purrtagonist]

Are you sure? It's just going to be more of me staring at a locked door.

Pretty boring stuff.

[assent]

I am afraid I do not understand, did you not say that you were going to use laser vision or psychokinetic explosions?

[ Quit playing games with my heart.mp3 ]

[purrtagonist]

[the new P5 theme song]

I have a confession.

[leaning in conspiratorially, hand next to his mouth]

I can't actually do either of those things.

[assent]

[ I'd believe it. ]

I see?

[ Though as he leans in she has half the mind to step back, especially as surprise has her hand flying to her mouth. ] That is not what you were trying to do after all? [ And that surprise quickly changes to disappointment. ] And I had been so certain I would finally see a Dark Lord at work.

[ why is this happening ]

[purrtagonist]

[he doesn't stay leaning forward for long, at least! pulls back as soon as the shock registers on her expression, and hooks a hand into the strap of his school bag]

[totally unfazed by the dark lord thing]

Sorry; I hate to disappoint. I may not be a Dark Lord myself, but I do have some connections.

[assent]

Some connections?

[ She still hasn't perked up again just yet, but she doesn't look like she's disappointed anymore. ]

[purrtagonist]

I'm on good terms with Satanael.

[SAID. . . SO BLANDLY]

[assent]

[ The only problem she isn't sure whether to believe him this time or if she's even correct about what he's referring to. It is "Satan"eal though, so... ]

Satanael?

[purrtagonist]

[I MEAN HE IS ONLY. . . HALF LYING. . . still Sonia doesn't deserve this]

The demon who rebelled against a god. [a pause] And won.

[gotta add that last part]

[assent]

[ All she wanted was to see some dark magic in action, stop this. ]

Does that mean you have been to hell, also?

[ I mean even in Island mode she has to have heard Gundam talk about this. ]

[purrtagonist]

No, I haven't. Although I do hear that hell has a great coffee shop.

[STOP THIS!!!]

[assent]

A-Ah! [ Some of the same excitement as before it starting to come back now. ] If only we could see for ourselves. That sounds splendid.

[ This is too much ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . she's weird but he kind of digs it]

It might be for the best. No coffee is worth dealing with eternal torture.

[or, like. whatever happens in hell]

[assent]

I suppose that is true. There would not be anything like a visitor's pass like to a museum, would there?

[ She's from a weird place, it makes sense tbh. ]

[purrtagonist]

Doubtful.

We'd have to disguise ourselves as the locals and sneak in the back way.

[AKIRA DOES WEIRD EXTREMELY WELL]

[assent]

[ That sounds surprisingly fun???? Definitely below her station, but with a diguise does it even matter. ]

I would like to give it a shot! [ sTOP ] I'm sure if we combined our efforts, it would be no problemo!

[purrtagonist]

[no one is ever above disguising and sneaking into places like it's a Mission Impossible film!!]

[anyway, just. gives a thumbs up]

I'll let you know if I ever manage to find the gate to hell.

[assent]

[ Princesses are supposed to behave better than that, okay!! ]

I would be very grateful if you did. Oh--! [ She stops suddenly, surprised again with her hand flying to her mouth. ] Please forgive me, I forgot to introduce myself.

[ With that said, she straightens herself up again, giving him a smaller smile this time. ] My name is Sonia Nevermind, Princess of the Kingdom of Novoselic. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[ How rehearsed is this line by now jfc ]

[purrtagonist]

[be a rebel princes!!]

[also that introduction seems incredibly rehearsed, and he arches a brow. royalty. . .]

Akira Kurusu. Average high school student.

[NO FANCY TITLES FOR HIM]

You can just call me Akira, though.

[assent]

[ Royalty indeed. ]

Of course. You may call me "Sonia" in return, in that case.

[ At least she isn't calling herself the Ultimate Princess as well, that would be confusing when anyone actually checks her profile later. ]

[purrtagonist]

[just as confusing when people look for his profile and mistake him for the ULTIMATE CRYBABY]

[not that Ultimate Executioner is much better]

Deal. It's nice to meet you too, Sonia.
