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.]

[mouth twists]

How abhorrent.

[fightingoverdose]

...Might mean you wanna real-bang a pretend-dad? Though I don't know that that floats your boat any better...

[artisticliberty]

Please, I do not count myself as finding either of those options appealing.

[fightingoverdose]

What would you pick, then?

[artisticliberty]

In regards to what?

[fightingoverdose]

Kinks. Since this one's out, what should they swap in? Constructive criticism's important, right?

[artisticliberty]

[thinks about it for a bit]

My understanding of romance is limited, but if they are going to build their premise on the passions of the heart, then this place had better live up to their claims. As it stands, the only passionate thing I have seen so far is the door, which is passionately shut.

[fightingoverdose]

Now, I ain't no Casanova, but I'm pretty sure if you're lookin' for love while locked into some fake school with a bunch of weirdos, you're doin' something wrong. I wouldn't take this so serious when the most stable relationship possible here's probably with that door.

[artisticliberty]

I will reserve my judgment for now. But I agree, it is uninspiring so far.

[fightingoverdose]

[stretches, folding her arms behind her head]

I mean, there's some interestin' people here, and plenty worse things to be asked to do, don't get me wrong. But I'd still rather some kinda tournament and a buffet, to be perfectly honest.

[artisticliberty]

I would much rather be painting right now.

[fightingoverdose]

Like a house?

[artisticliberty]

No, probably the abstract concept of feeling insignificant in an uncaring universe.

[fightingoverdose]

...Not sure how that matches the trim, but okay.

[artisticliberty]

However, there may be worthy subjects of my brush here, if I take a closer look... it has been some time since my last portrait.

[fightingoverdose]

Oh, that kind of painting. You do that a lot?

[artisticliberty]

Yes. I've dedicated my life to art, and to the pursuit of beauty.

[fightingoverdose]

Oh yeah? Find it yet?

[artisticliberty]

It is an ongoing process. I will likely spend the rest of my life pursuing my ideal forms of beauty, and--oh. Was that a joke?

[fightingoverdose]

Dedicatin' your life to somethin's no joke! It's pretty badass, actually; I wouldn't've expected it from ya!

[artisticliberty]

[he chuckles]

Hmhmhm... I would accept nothing less than a lifetime's worth of passion in the name of art. If it is 'badass', as you say, then so be it.

[fightingoverdose]

...What more is there than a lifetime's worth of passion? Like, if you die too early're you already planning on haunting a museum or somethin'?

Anyway, you say that as if 'badass' ain't a compliment. I don't give 'em out lightly, so don't be so grudging about it.

[artisticliberty]

I am not being grudging about it. I accept your compliment. Thank you.
