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.]

They are. My ability to fly has become unreliable, however.

[ That's a dark scowl on him. Flight's important for his health, after all. ]

Now, by birds, do you mean animals, of the regular size, or laguz, like me?

[ He's made enough assumptions already and he's getting sick of running into misunderstandings. ]

[pecker]

I've never met a Laguz... [whatever that is.]

The ones I'm looking for are ordinary size, wild birds. It makes sense there wouldn't be any inside, I just got my hopes up... oh, not that meeting you is bad, or anything. I could ask a lot of questions about it, though.

[She tilts her head, actually not pretending for once.]

For example, if your flying is unreliable, then are you injured anywhere?

[aria_ardeinae]

I would like a reason for it, myself - I was able to both fly and transform half a mark ago, and I haven't taken injury since.

[ ...The feathered cape doesn't look like it came off, you know. A real person. This all checks out. ]

[pecker]

Transform into what...?

Ah, well I'm glad you're not hurt at least, but that sounds confusing. If it's an ability of yours and you've lost it, then... they may have neutralized everyone, t-to make it harder for us to refuse their conditions.

[She couldn't tell since her power wouldn't work anyway under these circumstances. But she has confirmed one instance of neutralization thanks to a certain poison no longer killing her at the moment.]

[aria_ardeinae]

[ She sounds scared - between that and the feathers, he's feeling some protective instinct rising up. ]

If that is the case, then they must fear us at full power.
