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.]

That sounds really messed up.

[But also like a fairly standard plot for a murder-centric story in a book or game. Nothing she hasn't heard of before.]

...I can't even imagine what it must feel like having to come back.

[MONIKA TOO GENRE SAVVY FOR THIS]

[he takes in a breath, lets it out slowly]

Just a little surprising, that's all.

[so wry]

[too genre savvy for her own life tbqh]

At least this time won't hopefully be as bad, right? If those chinchillas are being honest about the nature of the game, we can all just take it easy.

[purrtagonist]

Yeah, but the question is: can you really trust a chinchilla?

[especially one who calls himself "papa?"]

[thesystemisdown]

You don't think they're telling the truth about sending us home afterwards, then? Or...

[Reaching for her tablet and pointing to the part about the base prizes.]

"The ability to travel between two universes at will." Do you think that's true?

[purrtagonist]

[he pauses for a moment to collect his words]

No. I think they do have the ability to travel between universes at will, and I believe they're capable of imparting that ability onto whomever wins.

It's just. . . I don't think they're being completely up front about the win conditions.

[thesystemisdown]

...Of course. It's a little too good to be true, isn't it? Especially with their track record.

[purrtagonist]

Exactly.

[last time the raccoons refused to send people home because of some semantics with the win condition, sooo]

I'm going to keep my guard up. Just in case.
