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. )

People keep saying that...

[She doesn't get it. Even Ichigo-dono had gotten upset with her for it.]

[hopegloats]

What was the answer? To push your own limits by pushing theirs? So that everyone could reach their fullest potential?

[afailedmurder]

A family business, huh...

Does it bother you? The work you do.

[hopegloats]

I don't know. I've never tried.

[dismemberthename]

Good. I'm glad you were there, then.

[Snags another card]

Oh, on topic. "What is your favorite memory with your best friend?"

[afailedmurder]

Welllll, I don't know. A detective should listen to his conscience.

Unless, of course he has a good reason...?

[BRIBE PLEASE]

[dismemberthename]

It's not that I don't have one, it's just...

[Fucking complicated]

... When we met up again, and he played the morin khuur I made him for the first time.

[afailedmurder]

Is that all he taught you?

[dismemberthename]

Sure, sounds good to me.

[redcarnation]

[ Isuke just shrugs. ]

Hmh, not really. It's not that fun to do, but it pays a good living.

[afailedmurder]

That's what the police thought at first, too, but no drugs were found in any of their systems. And yet the incidents kept occurring, and what's more, none of the perpetrators had any memory of their actions.

[dismemberthename]

Fair enough. I don't know how many people would straightforwardly answer they're messy, but that's just the kind of question it is, I guess.

[dismemberthename]

Right. I'll see you later, Elizabeth.

[starinhereye]

S-Same, same.

[afailedmurder]

That's a politician for you, I suppose.

[motorcycle_noises]

Are you a leader, then?

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Nod.]

Father taught me how to survive.

[motorcycle_noises]

I can see why it's a memory you'd be fond of.

[motorcycle_noises]

That's true.

[ Tatsuya pulls out a zippo from his jacket and flicks it open and shut. ]

...My name is Tatsuya Suou. What's yours?

[justpure]

... Hm?

[He glances up at her.]

Your entire hometown was destroyed, and you're not concerned?

[futurebullets]

Ah, I see... Have you been to Mongolia before, or did your friend happen to be in Japan?

[cluelesscavewoman]

The only lives lost where my father and Lord Motonobu's. They both chose to stay, so there is no reason to be upset. I had already been ordered to survive and see the world.

[dismemberthename]

I left Japan a few years ago and have been in Mongolia ever since. I met him there.

[futurebullets]

That. [The word comes out extremely strangled, so he clears his throat and tries again. It only helps minimally.] That would be great, I think.

[Hinata stops to think for a moment. What could be a good question...?

But it's probably better to start simple, right?]

Is there anything you like to do in your spare time?

[futurebullets]

[A sharp bolt of frustration stabs through the warm feeling in his chest. But that doesn't make it vanish, somehow - it just make it burn hotter.]

What are you even talking about?! A different you, a different me - there's no such thing! You're still Komaeda Nagito, aren't you? [It isn't a question, not really, so Hinata doesn't even give him a chance to respond. Although his voice is quieter with his next words.] It's not a matter of being worthy or not, you idiot. You're Komaeda, so that's what matters.
