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.]

Where I am from contracts were often drafted to ensure ties between two parties. It may feel more formal, but there is sense to it.

[ It isn't the same but... stares into the distance. Better than what else she could come out with for this. ]

Of course! Hopefully it will amount to nothing, but I feel the same way. There are very few people I know here, so I would like to at least try and speak to everyone and find out how they are feeling.

[purrtagonist]

[considering his confidants were also referred to as contracts. . . he gets it!! although there's no need for something so formal with him]

There are a few I know here as well. Some of them I met in the first round of this game, and others I know from home. There's no reason why we can't coordinate with them, too.

[assent]

[ Tell that to her tbh. ]

Exactamente, I would not dissuade you from encouraging them, also. The more people working together, the better. That is something Usami taught me back home.

[purrtagonist]

And it may be easier to foster unity if the rules aren't demanding that we turn on each other at the drop of a hat.

[a pause]

Who's Usami?

[assent]

Rather it seems to be encouraging the opposite, would you not say?

[ She blinks, then smiles suddenly at the question. ]

Usami was our teacher for our school trip back home. I still find it rather strange that she looked like a rabbit, but... she was very kind.

[ In a world where things didn't get fucked up. ]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . rabbit? didn't Shuichi say something about a rabbit?]

Animal hosts seem to be a popular thing these days.

[assent]

[ Did he? ]

It would seem so. We only had one, however, not two.

[purrtagonist]

[HE SO DID]

[Akira gives a pause though, and decides that now is not the time to ask about it]

What was Usami like? Kind and personable?

[or TERRIBLE like the chinchillas and raccoons]

[assent]

[ But was it the same rabbit or the mutilated rabbit... She has never seen Monomi at least... ah. ]

She was lovely! [ She even seems to sparkle talking about her. ] She cared about us getting along, and wanted us to do our very best.

[purrtagonist]

[GOOD QUESTION, Akira didn't ask]

Even after kidnapping you to play in one of these. . . weird games?

[assent]

[ Maybe one day it will be confirmed, who knows. ]

Yes, even then. It was a much more delightful incident than being kidnapped by insurgents that wished to overturn a political regime in my country.

[ She's still smiling, but it feels a bit more solemn now. ]

[purrtagonist]

[he picks up on the sudden change in atmosphere easily]

Does. . . that happen to you a lot?

[being kidnapped by insurgents, he means]

[assent]

Just a couple of times, but that is to be expected, I suppose.

[ Her smile doesn't drop anyway. ]

It is very rare that people will be happy with everything you do for them, and I admit my country has some problems as well, however...

[ She trails off, letting out a soft laugh after. ] I do not believe that this is the time for this, is it?

[purrtagonist]

[ah. . .]

[he's curious, but also the type who likes for people to come to him first. so. . . he won't press]

If you don't think it is, then we'll move on.

[assent]

[ It's okay, he has time to learn about elementary school kids learning how to operate tanks later... Probably. Maybe. ]

Thank you very much, Akira. [ She sounds relieved too. ] I appreciate it. I suppose we should talk to more people and see if anyone else has figured anything out, yes? I shall report back to you later.

[ They made a deal, so!!! ]

[purrtagonist]

[SONIA PLZ]

Yeah. That's a good idea. I'll make sure to let you know if I come across anything important.

[assent]

[ There are plenty of options where it can come up, okay... She can't help her weirdass country. ]

Perfecto! For now then, I shall take my leave.

[ She gives him a slight bow/curtsy before ducking away to find someone else to talk to. ]
