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. )

. . . .

[ with a smile ]

Yes. Then, it was a pleasure meeting you - ah, what is your name?

[dismemberthename]

[I guess now is a good time to point out that if Reyson gets pings, Sudoh does absolutely come across as a wolf rather than a human. That's a thing.

He seems surprised though, and shakes his head.]

No, she's human. Beorc, I guess? But she fought this wolf, and was the one who lived.

[loveisanopenseal]

I understand now. Humans can bring about a sea of negative emotions that are left behind in this world, and even if you manage to destroy the dredges of such feelings, they will only manage to reappear once more.

[ Isuke didn't have any noble motivations, but why would she correct this... ]

And after she hurt my pretty nose, too... No regard for a lady's face, such a brute.

At least here none of us will have to worry about getting injured this way.

[loveisanopenseal]

I see. Is it the question itself or is it finding the answer? Shall I try a different card?

[dismemberthename]

Oh, sure. The family business was instrument making, so I grew up learning to carve. Stuff like woodworking really appeals to me.

[dismemberthename]

Most interesting, hmm...

There are a few people who seem to be caught up in fighting demons? So that's pretty cool. I didn't catch their names yet though.

[redcarnation]

[ She picks up one of the cards to check and... ]

They're really in a hurry to make us get down to business. Such perverted critters, they're worse than I thought.

[redcarnation]

Well, you'd be able to if you really wanted to.

[ Have a can-do attitude, girl?! ]

[loveisanopenseal]

I am not looking for anything in particular as there is no specification. This answer will suffice. A delicious snack that is limited to a particular season would be disappointing especially when you desire to eat it, and there is none available. An understandable change.

[dismemberthename]

See, that's why it's off-putting. Now I know for sure you're strong enough that you experience life in a totally different way. It's pretty cool, but you're kind of giving off an "outsider looking in" sort of feeling.

[This is funny because his title is the ultimate outsider]

[loveisanopenseal]

I am Elizabeth.

[dismemberthename]

[his condom is safe and sound.]

Instruments and tools. Mostly I carve things out of wood.

[loveisanopenseal]

You are very observant. How impressive. I would say that is an accurate depiction of who I am now and who I was before, but I am not certain of who I will be in the future.

[loveisanopenseal]

Is there anything else you would like to ask?

[slice_of_life]

So, it's a family business...

W-What sort of weapons do you use?

[dismemberthename]

Mm. I agree that working hard for what you want is definitely the way to do it.

[loveisanopenseal]

They fought with all they had. It was ~wonderful~.

[redcarnation]

Of course, of course.

[ She winks, before picking up another card. ]

Your turn. What's one thing you absolutely cannot stand?

[assent]

Yes, I completely agree. [ She clasps her hands together, delighted. ] And is it not more common to have a favourite that you do not get to sample often?

[dismemberthename]

Mm. That's true. People change.

[assent]

Um... [ She starts hesitantly. ] While I should probably say my country or my people... I believe my friends are the ones I am actually most proud of. Before I came here we were working hard together to build items as part of our trip.

[redcarnation]

Isuke has experience with various things. I like poison and anesthetic use for simple jobs, but pistols and fighting knives are very much in my repertoire. You can't expect to survive without combat training and craftiness.

[ This is not a job nor likely to ever be related to a job, so Isuke figures she may as well show her cards a little. ]

[redcarnation]

Do you have any particular goals at the moment?

[ It's not a card question, but probably more interesting anyway... ]

[starinhereye]

Whoa, ten minutes is impressive! How long did you train for that?

And it wasn't too heavy. Did make me feel like my answer was too short, but we can talk more about friends later, right?
