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.]

You talk about 'younger people' as if that didn't concern you. Don't tell me you've never dated anyone?

[assent]

It does not concern me. My duty is to my country and to its people. I would not be a very good Princess were I to put their interests aside for my own.

[redcarnation]

[ A... princess? Ewww. ]

Well then, you've probably got no need for the price money either, so you can sit out the contest, right?

[assent]

[ She didn't ask for this life, okay!!! ]

Even if I won I would have no qualms with giving it away to charities that may need the money.

[ She just looks confused. ]

[redcarnation]

What a bleeding heart you are ♥

If this actually turns out legit, Isuke'll take the price money for herself, so watch out.

[ Money is money and it's a waste to not spend it for yourself, don't you know? ]

[assent]

I would not call it that... However you were correct to assume that I have access to too much wealth already. If it were in my realm of possibilities, I would have handed out some of it to those in need already.

[ She pauses. ]

If you require it so badly, I will not stop you. Please do not become too competitive and hurt others in the process, please.

[redcarnation]

Pfff, normally I'd make no such promises, but these rules seem to be on your side.

[ ... how much sabotage does count as hurting though? That's an interesting question to consider if they can't blow this door up soon enough~ ]

[assent]

Which is a relief. [ She sighs out softly and clasps her hands in front of herself. ]

There is more to life than money.

[redcarnation]

I don't think someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth has any say in that.

[assent]

My position has helped me see that there are many who need help and support which I am more than happy to give, please do not be so quick to judge me just because of my title.

[redcarnation]

"There's more to life than money" is exactly what a rich girlie would just say.

Money's what makes the world go round out there. Only when you've got money, you don't need to worry about anything ♥

You can talk fancy because you've got it, that's all.

[assent]

[ She frowns at that. ]

Money causes fights. It causes war. It makes people hate each other. Why would it be the only thing that matters?

[redcarnation]

Some of us like surviving, missy.

And if we have to fight for it, fight for money, then that's just the way the world goes, right? Those of us who aren't spoiled from day one have to go out and get what they want.

[assent]

I keep trying... [ She starts, then stops like she's frustrated and angry with herself just as much as she is with Isuke. ] I keep trying to do everything in my power to ensure that there won't be those without money. Without the necessities to live.

[ And she is actually popular with her people for this, so... ]

[redcarnation]

[ Isuke hears the sincerity in Sonia's tone and elects to ignore it entirely. Her own bitterness and anger are too deep-seated, to linked to her very core, as that she could put them aside for the benefit of a stranger. ]

You can do what you want, but don't pretend you understand the first thing about real life, alright? ♥

[ Isuke turns around, intending to end the conversation before she lets herself be provoked into revealing more of herself than she wants to. ..... this went... splendidly...??? ]

[assent]

[ She doesn't even say anything in response to that, unsure of how to proceed when she wants to keep her manners but everything about Isuke is making her feel worse. She doesn't really understand what she did to deserve this treatment--and she probably never will, no, but at least she was trying.

So yes... splen...didly.......... ]
