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.]

While I think the results of that would be pretty interesting, there are a looot of ways to stop you without fighting you...

[lacrimose]

I guess they could just shoot me with those, but they haven't yet.

[Gestures vaguely to the guns at the door.]

[dismemberthename]

Sure. But what if, instead of giving us all reasons to see a dead body today, you didn't?

[lacrimose]

I can't just sit around while everyone needs help, though...

[dismemberthename]

[that sobers him a bit more.]

...I get that. But yelling for them to fight you probably isn't gonna get you out of here any faster than playing along.

[lacrimose]

But if I kill them, we can all leave. Right?

[dismemberthename]

Or we're locked in here forever and starve.

[lacrimose]

[Shakes his head.]

That won't happen. Even if I have to sacrifice this body, I'll make sure everyone gets away to safety.

[dismemberthename]

[jesus is this what it would be like talking to me if i were way more of a straight talker? surreal] That really kind of implies you'd let us eat you, which I feel is not what you're going for, and also no. Calm down and we'll figure out a way out of here without you getting fucked over.

[lacrimose]

... Right.

[Deep breaths. He can be chill! If Ryo were here, he'd ask him to be chill. Even if it's hard, when there are so many hostages involved.

He breathes out.]

Do you have any ideas?

[dismemberthename]

Not any you'll like, probably. We should play along for now, and look for openings.

[lacrimose]

[Judging by his sour expression and a loud sigh, he definitely doesn't like that.]

What kind of openings?

[dismemberthename]

I don't know. This kind of stuff isn't really my speed either. I'm not sneaky or clever. But I do know that forcing a fight now will only end badly, no matter how much we might want to.

[lacrimose]

[He pauses, clearly thinking it over.]

... Fine, I'll do things your way for now. But if I think anyone's in danger, I won't hesitate to do something.

[dismemberthename]

If someone's in danger I'll be helping you, not stopping you.

[lacrimose]

Really? You want to help?

[He's not against it, but he's surprised, given Akira usually fights on his own. It's a brave thing to offer.]

[dismemberthename]

Yeah. I dunno if I can measure up to somebody who was yelling about fighting demons, but I'm not the sort who can just stand by, either. I'll do what I can.
