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.]

[ 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?

[counterfaith]

Well, a delusional fool, apparently.

[plsbully]

[ he scoffs, tipping his hat down ]

Oh, so you agree.

[counterfaith]

I'm just borrowing your words.

[plsbully]

They're not incorrect.

[counterfaith]

You can believe that all you want. Acknowledging it as anything more than a delusion would have to be acknowledging the possibility that I could be right, after all. And, if you can acknowledge that to even the slightest degree, then I have already been proven right.

[plsbully]

Well, it is terribly unfortunate for you I will never acknowledge it as anything more than a delusion. You shall not reach me.

[counterfaith]

We'll see.

[ and, abruptly: ]

Avenger, do you feel the connection to our Master?

[plsbully]

-- No.

[ at that his expression seems to shift, more troubled ]

In a way it's a relief they aren't here. And yet ...

[ how are they like

existing ]

[counterfaith]

And what of your powers?

[ sobering, tone becoming serious. don't you love this wild ride of light/heavy ]

[plsbully]

You haven't tested yourself?
