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.]

I'll hate to leave you with a broken heart.

[counterfaith]

Then be at ease, you won't.

[ how can you break what's already, ]

[plsbully]

You do not think I will try my best to?

[counterfaith]

Wouldn't that be too naive of me? No, I'm sure you'll do your best - to test my patience, to break my heart. But, I can say with absolute certainty that you won't do such a thing.

No, I should say - even if you try, you can't do it.

[plsbully]

You're so determined, are you? Is it that you're really that confident or you'll forgive me even if I succeed?

[counterfaith]

Well - there is that, certainly.

But, I don't believe you would do the most heinous of actions. You are, at your core, still a righteous person. You do not harm that which does not need to be harmed - "vengeance" is to inflict recompense to those who have wronged you. In other words, you are not the sort of person who would do the unforgivable merely on a whim, or because you desire to, to someone who has not done at least something of equal harm to you.

Even if you were to do such a thing to me, I would find it in my heart to forgive you. But, I have faith that you would not tread upon such territory in the first place. Because you are a good person, Avenger.

[plsbully]

[ THIS IS GROSS



HONESTLY ]


Hmph. A ridiculous claim. It's true that I embody vengeance -- a righteous anger -- but can awful things not be done in the name of this righteousness? Even if it is "justified" -- does that make me a good person? I do not regret what I have done but a "good" person would have been much more forgiving, no?

[counterfaith]

[ you're gross! ]

"Good intentions pave the road to hell". Certainly, you are capable of the greatest depths in the name of vengeance - but, you don't seek to be cruel to those who don't deserve as much. Though you have dirtied your hands, I'm certain that you are good. And, you're capable of that forgiveness - that is what I believe.

[plsbully]

"Good intentions pave the road to hell" -- wouldn't such a saying imply I've already doomed myself? Even if my intentions were "good" the way I have gone about fulfilling them certainly would not be seen kindly in the eyes of God.

It is too late for forgiveness.

[counterfaith]

It isn't. God forgives all, and will forgive you even now.

[plsbully]

[ UGH ]

No wonder you and that other Ruler get along so well.

[counterfaith]

[ his smile turns a little frosty ]

My, does it look like that? Well, we are of the same faith, after all.

[plsbully]

She chose forgiveness even when she was being burned at the stake.

[counterfaith]

Yes, it is admirable.

[plsbully]

My, what you two have in common.

[counterfaith]

True, for we both seek your salvation.

[plsbully]

I'm beginning to think she should be here as well. You are a perfect match.

[ in being unbearable ]

[counterfaith]

Ah—haha!

[ a little too forceful, and he brings a hand to his face, covering his mouth with a loose fist ]

My, what a thought! But, I have nothing but respect for the Holy Maiden. Such a thing is impossible, you know?

Besides, I regret to inform you that we're not each other's types.

[plsbully]

A pity, you both would be far less of nuisances if you would divert your attention unto each other.

[counterfaith]

I think we'll kill each other first.

[plsbully]

[ drily ]

You would not be so forgiving then?

[counterfaith]

It isn't a matter of forgiveness - simply that we're fundamentally unable to get along. That you see us as such is a miracle. . . no, that we would work together is a miracle in and of itself.

In other words, you are the miracle that has us getting along. Aren't you happy? Even this is God's work.

[plsbully]

What a regrettable turn in this conversation.

[counterfaith]

Hm, whatever could you mean?

[ :D ]

[plsbully]

Who on Earth would call me miraculous?
