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. )

No, but I have been in a similar situation. You haven't heard of Monokuma yet, have you?

[lacrimose]

I guess I don't really have a hometown... I live in Tokyo, but I spent a lot of my childhood overseas. I didn't live in Japan until I was older.

[assent]

[ Sudoh please those are not good options... ]

Of course! Exercise is a good means to relieve tension but to also produce endorphins.

[assent]

[ A body has been discovered.

She returns to her seat, smiling gently as she presses her hands on the table. ]

I am glad I was able to help.

[lacrimose]

[Shakes his head.] Is it some kind of bear?

[artisticliberty]

[that's about the time when the buzzer goes off, which does make yusuke's head jerk upwards with a stunned look on his face]

--yes, I, yes. Thank you.

[artisticliberty]

Go ahead. Though the title they have chosen for me is an odd one.

[his is "ultimate poser". and for the heck of it, he'll check his tablet, too]

[slice_of_life]

[reading!]

Ultimate... Poser?

[her lips can't help but purse a little.]

That's... not flattering. I'm s-sorry.

[artisticliberty]

The title should be "Ultimate Artist", but I cannot change it. I have tried.

[assent]

[ She looks alarmed too, though it’s more for how quickly he reacts to the buzzer going off. ]

Please be careful! [ She only calms when it looks like he didn’t cause any damage to himself. ] It was a pleasure speaking with you again.

[clocked_out]

Very badass.

[clocked_out]

Shit that's heartbreaking. Well, give me something in that neighborhood, I'll accept anecdotes about pals or acquaintances.

[clocked_out]

Nice.

[Hm.]

Good times with my bros is basically my bread and butter, so I have a few. One time me and my two other besties got together and each made our good bro a sentimental stuffed rabbit for his thirteenth birthday. I guess that was actually more a series of events but it was pretty cute.

[clocked_out]

[!]

Yes, good shit. Tell me all about how that went down.

[clocked_out]

Vague but not bad.

[clocked_out]

I will accept 'lukewarm acquaintance' though that's tragic.

[clocked_out]

It was not really an understandable situation, but the important thing is it mostly didn't work.

[Glances down at his cards]

Huh. I got "Have you ever killed anyone."

[Squints at him.]

[discerp]

Um.

I-isn't it called...'speed' dating, though...? [this is more mumbled to herself than to him]

[discerp]

I-I don't really wear things in my hair... It just hurts more if it gets yanked out while p-people are pulling my hair. [That's...Normal. That's fine.]

Oh, um, m-my name is Mikan, by the way! --Ah, I didn't ask if it was okay to give my name, f-forgive me for assuming!

[sunbottles]

[Shock and HORROR]

Ehhh?! That's so mean of people!! No one should pick on a cute girl like you! Or girls in general! Or people! [Why can't everyone just Be Nice]

No, no! Thank you for telling me your name! Sometimes I get so caught up I forget to ask, ehehe.

I'm Sayori. And if anyone is mean to you here, just come to me and I'll tell them to stop!! [She tried.]

[afailedmurder]

I apologize for having asked it, but thank you for your thorough and straightforward answer.

[hopegloats]

[ He makes a face at that one. ]

Not personally. Or, I guess, not intentionally. If I'm honest, my luck has resulted in quite a few deaths.

[hopegloats]

[ laughs a little ]

Of course, you're right. It's pretty obvious.

[ draws another card ]

"What is your weapon of choice?" Hmm. But is that really a dating question?

[clocked_out]

Ahahah. I mean, sorry it sounds like that was unintentional. You're just weirdly not the first person I've met with a luck-based body count.

[hopegloats]

I guess it's a more general 'getting to know you' situation. How about we try a different one?

[ draws another card ]

"How do your friends describe you?"
