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. )

That's quite candid of you. I respect your honesty.

[truthstranger]

Ah... I actually don't live in 'my' world anymore, so...

[cluelesscavewoman]

What happened to the person you are now possessing?

[counterfaith]

Yes, that's right. And yourself?

[assent]

About my family? [ Sonia's head cants to the side and she looks thoughtful. ]

My mother and father are the King and Queen of my country, though I believe their views are quite outdated.

[ That is probably... not what the question intended. ]

[appleofhiseye]

If it's a conversation that needs to be had, I suppose it is better to know upfront. But I can't imagine too many people saying they have...

[taking a glance around the room; she doesn't know any of these people, so that's not something she can guarantee.]

Appearances might be deceiving, though. It's not something I feel the need to dwell on, I guess.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Ohhh.

...I am okay with both.

[slice_of_life]

Generally speaking, I like novels that have a lot of world-building elements to them... but recently I've become interested in surreal psychological books too... especially in the horror genre. The way it sort of plays with your emotions and wraps you up with images you wouldn't normally consider...

But you're bringing up Child of God so you must like that sort of genre too, right?

[tsunderine]

I personally don't think they're too bad... I usually have them as side dishes or with onigiri.

[ It's actually pretty common if she doesn't say so herself. ] Favorite animal, though, huh. I'd say cats. Yep, definitely cats. Let's see. What's next here--

Oh, this is an interesting one. "What skills do you have that would help you to survive a zombie apocalypse?"

[slice_of_life]

Ah... you don't have much opportunity to read?

[helptilistop]

It depends. Sometimes it's over in a couple hours, sometimes it takes a few days. Depends whose army you're facing, really.

[cluelesscavewoman]

It makes my head hurt when people insult Father.

[assent]

[ She had been sat down from the start to continue this as normal but... ]

Jesus! Fuck-- [ Only to end up alarmed at herself as the surprise caught her off guard as well. ] I am truly very sorry, I was just very surprised!

[ This is off to a Good Start. ]

[dismemberthename]

Mm... locking the door between me and the way out so my friends could escape. I wasn't sure I'd get out of that one. At least... not as me.

[truthstranger]

That's the second time I've been asked that... Maybe it's a trend I don't know about.

[flamingprick]

If you do, then you can wear that one secret blade and be an assassin!

[Rin no that's a video game that's not real life]

[daughterofthemark]

I'm afraid that was never my particular skill set.

[tsunderine]

So basically you're having the time of your life already, aren't you? Should I take out a new card then?

[ That second question is proverbial because she's already doing it. ]

"What was your most embarrassing moment?"

[purrtagonist]

I--

[blinks at her. slowly. what the FUCK she's cute]

No, it's fine. You were enjoying yourself; keep going.

[dismemberthename]

She's in here and fine, just asleep at the moment. We trade off.

You took that surprisingly well.

[flamingprick]

Risks usually end with me getting my face smashed in or something. I'll have to consider it.

[aria_ardeinae]

What.

[ Not with the air of someone who doesn't know what either of those words mean. Not necessarily in a sexual context, but. ]

I'm not fond of either!

[redcarnation]

......aaaaalright then.

[ Isuke takes another sip of her drink as she takes in what a supreme weirdo this one is. ]

This is not particularly judge-worthy though.

[ Even though it's murder. ]

[dismemberthename]

Hmmm. Back rub! I'm too ticklish for the other option. What about you?

[purrtagonist]

Thanks. I'll make sure to keep you in mind if I'm ever in need of an emergency hair clip.
