Trash Squad Day 1 - SPEED DATING

[chinhotta]

Alright, kiddos!! Gather up in the cafeteria for your first event!

[ The cafeteria tables are arranged differently now, long tables pushed to the edges of the room and filled with finger foods and drinks, and the center of the room open except for a bunch of tall, small round tables which are empty except for a stack of cards, but about the right size and height for two people to put drinks on as they stand around.

Vanilla is also standing on one of the tables with a bullhorn. ]

We're starting with a classic! Speed dating! You'll have five minutes each round! When the horn goes off, that's your cue to switch it up and talk to someone else! If you need some conversation starters, try one of the questions on those cards!

...Or don't! You can do whatever you want, I'm not your mom. I'm going with 'uncle' for now!

( The structure here is pretty casual:
- Make a top level
- Tag some people! Optionally, start off with a question from the deck of suggestions!
- Thread! You can ask more questions if you want.
- Try to keep threads around 10 comments from you maximum. This isn’t a hard limit, but assume a bullhorn goes off around there to signal a switch.
- Pace yourself, kids, this runs until Thursday. )

I think coffee just makes me too jittery.

[purrtagonist]

Isn't it?

Personally, I prefer spicy blood to bitter blood.

[what]

[misterwormtail]

Tends to be a lot less... standardized, I guess? You're more likely to find weirdly shaped, out of the way rooms and crawl-spaces in old buildings, even the ones where they didn't intentionally put in secret passages. Weirder magical additions and supports, too.

I'm Peter, by the way.

[purrtagonist]

Sure thing, Pot. I'll put that on my to-do list.

[assent]

[ Some of these questions are terrible. ]

Coffee is quite a common option for people, I believe. Curry, however... I do not believe I have heard anyone have curry in the morning before.

[afailedmurder]

What a confident answer! You seem like someone who knows what she's all about.

[flamingprick]

Well if they didn't want their stuff broken then they shouldn't have put such stupid questions on these cards!

[loveisanopenseal]

A respectable change that also reveals a troubling scenario. Perhaps she, too, will eventually find happiness.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Raises hand]

What are those?

[flamingprick]

Wow, what a mysterious date~ How am I supposed to know if I can trust you for a real date?

[loveisanopenseal]

Nothing at all?

[purrtagonist]

[waves a hand]

There's nothing forcing us to use the cards as conversational topics.

[afailedmurder]

[hmph]

That's not an answer, you know.

[cluelesscavewoman]

I do not have many friends, and I do not know how they would describe me. But my classmates have told me that I am dangerous.

[lefthandpath]

Manipulation of others.

[plsbully]

I don't see a reason to dawdle.

[ he shrugs, leaning back ]

Isn't it just a fact there are cases where it's more convenient that others are unable to move while you go about your work?

[misterwormtail]

Ring finger feels appropriately dramatic, you think? Not like I actually use that one for much anyway.

[flamingprick]

But you could FLY and then you wouldn't need to touch the ground.

[discerp]

W-when doing blood transfusions, it's really important to know! Your immune system will detect any foreign proteins on the red blood cells of the wrong blood type and attempt to destroy them if you get the wrong type. Th-thankfully it's not usually deadly, unless the immune system doesn't wait for the foreign red blood cells to clear the blood vessels before it splits them apart. That's when you can end up getting an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction where the blood clots inside the veins.

[Stop her. She does seem to realize that she's rambled on though and she looks panicked]

--Ah! S-sorry, I'm sorry! I-I didn't mean to keep talking!

[tocatchafallingapple]

Are you willing to risk it?

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda drops down at the nearest dating table, smiling at whoever is across from him and picking up a card. ]

"Has anyone ever made an attempt on your life?" What an interesting question.

[flamingprick]

Well if you need to borrow my hairclip until then, just let me know. I still need it for cooking but you can use it at other times.

[liftoft]

[ what ]

...I don't even know where to start with that kind of statement!

[dismemberthename]

Do you like that kind of thing? Learning about people.

[truthstranger]

N-No, I haven't.
