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 mean, not that that's gonna stop anybody from playin'. But it's the principle of the thing.

[motorcycle_noises]

I think they're up to something.

[ Tatsuya pulls a zippo lighter out of his jacket and starts flicking it open and shut. ]

...But it doesn't hurt to play along until we can figure out what.

[fightingoverdose]

Of course they're up to somethin'! Probably gonna charge for all the food and supplies and stuff after all, force some stupid high interest rate or sell the pretty kids to make AVs or sandwiches or somethin'... Anyways, you're right, we can deal with it once they do their evil reveal.

[motorcycle_noises]

Let's just hope it doesn't take too long.

[ Tatsuya glances down at the lighter in his hand before putting it away. ]

...I'm Tatsuya Suou. And you are?

[fightingoverdose]

Sara Sasarano, first year, Amazon Academy.

[nods to indicate his leathers]

You ride?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya nods slightly. ]

I've been known to from time to time. Motorcycle's back home, though.

[fightingoverdose]

Too bad, not that there's really anyplace to've put it here. How long you been doin' it?

[motorcycle_noises]

Not long after I turned sixteen. I saved up and got myself the cheapest used one I could find.

[fightingoverdose]

Ah, I'm jealous. I go to boarding school so that ain't really an option. Must be so sweet to go speedin' down the highway, wind through your hair. ...Maybe that part's less excitin' for you, come to think of it.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya shrugs. ]

It sounds nice... but I usually wear a helmet.

[fightingoverdose]

That's what I meant. You'd have to take the time to grow it out to really get the full effect.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya touches his hair briefly. ]

I never really thought about growing it out.

[fightingoverdose]

[more serious than this probably requires]

You'll need more shampoo, and dryin' takes forever. Don't go into it lightly.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya matches her tone with a very serious nod. ]

Hair is very important to take care of. It's an important consideration.

[fightingoverdose]

You got a nice sheen, I can tell you actually spend money on product and don't just steal it from the gym or somethin'. So you gotta think about impact to budget as well as time gettin' ready in the mornin'.

...'Course, I generally don't put in that much effort, but I appreciate it when other people do!

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya considers that. ]

Long hair might be more trouble than it's worth.

[fightingoverdose]

Yeah...

I know, you could just get a wig!

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya gives a thumbs-up. ]

Now that's much simpler.

[fightingoverdose]

I shoulda thought of that... Hey, says there's some kinda auditorium in here on the map; I bet there's a costume room.
