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. )

From what I have seen thus far, that is a rarity. [ She's seen worse than those three anyway. ] Though I suppose that is to be expected.

[ Waves it off... nbd. ]

I have to agree. I cannot say I would have any idea where to begin. Let me see if I have any better luck. "Is there anything you’d change about yourself?"

[ Apparently she is, yup. ]

[appleofhiseye]

That sounds lovely! Learning to play a musical instrument has always seemed intimidating to me. How long have you been learning? I've heard it can take some time to master.

[loveisanopenseal]

I see. Most people are often faced with challenges daily. I can understand what you are saying now.

But when you are impossibly strong, many things become easy for you.

[assent]

[ Ah... one of the lucky few to not be involved in the condom craziness then, hopefully?????? ]

It is a rather strange analogy, is it not? The stars having a significance actually seems more understandable when it comes to that. [ She pauses to listen to him, looking curious. ] What types of things do you make?

[aria_ardeinae]

I see.

[ Reyson is making a lot of assumptions now. Whether any of them are correct remain to be seen. ]

...Is your friend another wolf?

[assent]

In that case it would be rather crazy. If there was not an event, was there another reason for it?

[loveisanopenseal]

I have not been promised anything, but it is an opportunity which I would not have had before.

To find out who I am and the reason why I exist.

[aria_ardeinae]

Schools are a beorc tradition. Laguz are ill-suited to sitting still and learning from books.

[redcarnation]

There's definitely a difference in severity. Isuke may be an S, but hurting someone seriously for fun is overkill in my opinion.

When it's for information, there's no need to hold back unless it gets into lethal danger territory ♥

[pecker]

[Surprise! She can relate after all.]

Oh, I've had that before! The way it melts in your mouth is so soft and sweet... for some reason I wouldn't have thought of a dessert as a favorite food though. For me it's more like, like a rare treat or something.

[loveisanopenseal]

I have yet to find a single clue.

But surely, there is a reason why this journey has brought me to a place like this. I am hoping that I might be able to find something here.

[slice_of_life]

Really? I'd think at a certain point the victim would just clam up and decide nothing would convince you anymore... so you'd have to walk a tightrope of just enough to make him talk but not enough to completely shut him down...

[pause, as she finally realizes just what the heck she's saying]

Uum... not that... this is the sort of thing one thinks about, or anything... I just s-saw your title in the tablet... and thought you might have... e-experience.

[pecker]

Really? I think that's more frustrating than scary...

[loveisanopenseal]

A logical choice. It isn't as if your hearing would be permanently impaired, and even if it was, there are accommodations that could be made.

Replacing something such as a heart would be quite difficult.

[redcarnation]

[ She laughs at that. ]

Well, usually when people call me, the time for questions is over.

[ And then with a more curious expression: ]

The title doesn't intimidate you?

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, that's my thinking. It's be a pain, but nothing that couldn't be handled.

Besides, I like my heart where it is.

[redcarnation]

[ The repetition of her third person habit is nodded with amusement. If Sudoh had offended her before, maybe she'd have minded but as it is now... Well, she likes her name. People should say it a lot.]

Unless you know just what you want, how would you go out and get it? Isuke doesn't believe in waiting for good things to just come your way on their own either.

[lefthandpath]

[she barely manages to finish when he answers, immediately:]

Yes.

[loveisanopenseal]

I thank you for your kindness.

[also picks up a card]

What are you most proud about?

[pecker]

It's not what you think. I have amnesia. Before a certain point anyway, so I can't say for sure what could have happened.

And I'm not a part of the army. I just take contracts at my family's behest. It's not very often.

[slice_of_life]

W-Well, it's all in how you interpret it! Such as... a 'headhunter' could be 'someone who literally kills a person and takes their heads for trophies,' or it could mean 'someone who seeks out specifically qualified people for important job openings on behalf of some company...'

[loveisanopenseal]

I was not alone. I had a wonderful master and met several visitors.

But you might say that was "my world" at the time.

[redcarnation]

Isuke is the kind of assassin that wipes out people for money, that's all there is to it. Preference is silent and bloodless kills, smart and quick.

Though Isuke's mama is more into guns. We have different styles, even though we're family.

[counterfaith]

A number of them - I should say, I am a missionary, but the God I serve is the Christian God. I am not familiar with Tsirhc. . .

[redcarnation]

Oh, we're kind of similar, who would have thought?

My family raised me into the assassination business.
