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. )

[flipping through the cards, letting some dance across his knuckles before discarding them]

Hmm... ah, this one is interesting. "What is your most frequent fantasy?"

[appleofhiseye]

...Hair?

There's no need to lose any body parts, so I'm fine with all of mine as they are.

[purrtagonist]

[extremely terrible]

It's the spice. It kicks you in the mouth so hard, you're wide awake in seconds.

[dismemberthename]

Mmmmmmmasochist, I guess, if I've gotta pick one.

[assent]

[ Is this even about dating anymore, with some of these question options. ]

If I am honest, I am not certain. I have never been in the position to be aware.

[ She sighs. ] The questions are most unfortunate, are they not?

[redcarnation]

Wouldn't it be awkward to get the answer to it later in the relationship? So why not get it out of the way.

[ She really just went with the first question in the shuffled deck, because it happened to be one that personally entertains her so... she'll just defend this choice now... ]

[loveisanopenseal]

I have not. Is this your definition of fun?

[pecker]

Lying, huh... well, I'm not sure that I'd say it's ever a 'good' thing, but lying to protect someone or something is better than letting them down, I think. Like if you were asked to keep a secret. Does that make sense?

[hopegloats]

Wow, what a good question. I guess that would depend if I could replace it with something better, wouldn't it?

[ he smiles ]

I don't think we've met, have we? I'm Nagito Komaeda.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ WELL let's get this over with, perhaps it will not be awful - ]

If you could travel back through time, what single mistake would you correct?

[ That's... A BIT MUCH for him to contemplate, and he flicks it across the room with an icy scowl. ]

Tasteless, what's the next - [ UH ] Which body part seems tastiest?!

[purrtagonist]

[flips the card over to show Shuichi, yep]

Romantic, isn't it?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Judge!

Most of them are delicious.

[Futayo no]

[assent]

Aaaah, that sounds exciting! [ wHY ] Much better than a real kick in the mouth, I am certain.

[appleofhiseye]

No. They should find a different set of questions to use for things like this.

How did you make fire appear like that?

[dismemberthename]

Fair enough. [just as nonchalantly]

This body, probably.

[...is he bullshitting? we just don't know.]

[truthstranger]

Ah... no.

[afailedmurder]

Not at all! Are you the sort who enjoys a fight?

[liftoft]

[ Kaito flips up the card on the top of the deck and gives it an incredulous look ]

"If you had to lose a body part, what would it be"?! What the hell!

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna seems genuinely pleased to be here and be doing this.]

Can you tell me something about your family?

[slice_of_life]

Oh... um, yes, I have, actually.

I do like novels that... that challenge the reader's perspective...

[plsbully]

Some of these questions feel a bit much for a first date.

[dismemberthename]

Oh yeah, I'd hate to lose my hearing. Just the outside would be okay though, I guess, if I had to choose.

[redcarnation]

And when we're at inhuman, are we talking like hunting deer or killing something sentient? Since apparently demons and what-not are very trendy around here.

[aria_ardeinae]

Of course. I'm an eye-catching target on a battlefield, after all.

[assent]

I would ensure that no one goes hungry or feels the need to cause harm to others--whether it is through desperation or anything else.

[ Her hand even covers her heart as she says this. ] I am doing my best for the people of my country, but even then there is only so much I am able to do -- if a wish could make it all come true, that would be a miracle.
