Trash Squad Day 1 - SPEED DATING

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. )

SUBMIT YOUR HOT OR NOTS HERE by Thursday, 6pm PST!

I-I understand, but... the symbolism of the crucifixion of Jesus is... complex and nuanced. The 'anguish' felt by him was something he knew he had to do to be a sacrifice... it wasn't merely... torture... M-Maybe a real believer could explain it better, but I do write poetry so I'm familiar with... imagery.

A-Ah... I mean... p-please understand. I agree, I have... absolutely no right to tell you what to d-draw, or do any art with at all, or how to interpret it, even, b-but...!

--But perhaps for the purposes of your ex-exercise, you would have better found inspiration from... The Scream?

[personal profile] motorcycle_noises 2018-02-21 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That's understandable, too.

[personal profile] artisticliberty 2018-02-21 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true that The Scream is a classic modern piece of art depicting the artist's tormented soul, but I felt that if I drew inspiration from already-existing art works that my own would become too derivative--so I chose a more general subject.

[he waves his hand]

The issue at the time has since been resolved, so it is not a concern anymore. However, your observation indicates that you have more than a passing interest in art. Is that correct?
clocked_out: (but still i weep)

[personal profile] clocked_out 2018-02-21 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Flips through the cards a bit before he gives up.]

So what are your hobbies and/or interests?
clocked_out: (this is probably a dream)

[personal profile] clocked_out 2018-02-21 03:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I love it, warms my goddam pumpbiscuit up it's fresh from the oven.
motorcycle_noises: Fanart; Lighter; Neutral (And the people bowed and prayed)

[personal profile] motorcycle_noises 2018-02-21 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Fixing my motorcycle, star-gazing, and sleeping. What about you?
clocked_out: (yeah ill see what i can do)

[personal profile] clocked_out 2018-02-21 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amused]

Sure, maybe I'll take up blogging again while I'm here. [After he answers, looking curious:] I've never had a job; Which one's your favorite?
justpure: (its door has been opened)

[personal profile] justpure 2018-02-21 03:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It was your choice of words that prompted the question.

You sound like you have good intentions, but the way you phrased that implied that your friends think differently than what you expect. If that is not the case, then forgive me for my assumptions.
justpure: (Take my life?)

[personal profile] justpure 2018-02-21 03:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Warriors... Hm?

Ah, you may continue. Hearing about traditions from other societies interest me, and now that I've been privy to other worlds I intend to continue my studies.

[personal profile] justpure 2018-02-21 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I nearly forgot.

My name is Korekiyo Shinguji. Normally, I would be called the Ultimate Anthropologist, but it seems our hosts have given me a more demeaning title. It is a pleasure to meet you.
justpure: (On the border of good and evil)

[personal profile] justpure 2018-02-21 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We both know that much.

[Everyone in his class knows. Space. Kaito's in it. We get it.]

Any specific planets you want to see? Or are you content with spending time in a space station millions of miles from the Earth?
afailedmurder: (A PLEASANT BOY)

[personal profile] afailedmurder 2018-02-21 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a thing to be said for bonding over shared experienced, but of course you are right. Tell me more about yourself. What makes you unique?
hopegloats: (9)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good thing to be passionate about. You must be very popular.

[ then the buzzer sounds and Komaeda smiles ]

Looks like you're saved by the bell. It's been fun, Saihara.

We have an emperor, though in the modern day he serves only as a figurehead. The real power is held by the prime minister, who is more or less chosen by the people. The current one is fine, I suppose, as far as politicians go. Though recently, we very nearly elected a complete monster.
hopegloats: (34)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not. I've slept on the street plenty of times. Hopefully when you go home your luck changes.
hopegloats: (33)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
T-twinks?

[ laughs it off though, and as he does the buzzer sounds ]

But I appreciate your optimism. You're a good person, I'm sure you'll do well here.
hopegloats: (1)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm. That's sad to hear. I hope you don't ever have to give your life for something like that.

But how about we try a different question?

[ he pulls one ]

"What are you looking for in a relationship?"
hopegloats: (16)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ laughs ]

This dating game must feel very inconsequential to such a busy person.
hopegloats: (10)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Komaeda is REAL interested in that ]

Did it never... go wrong? She can really control it?
hopegloats: (36)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure you'll do better here than me. But, ah! I don't think I even introduced myself. I'm Nagito Komaeda.
hopegloats: (16)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 04:43 pm (UTC)(link)
That can't be the only thing, right? What's your talent?

[personal profile] tsunderine 2018-02-21 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't.

[ She's going to be pretty straightforward about that. ]

[personal profile] tsunderine 2018-02-21 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it depends. I don't mind doing it in public if it manages to get the reaction I want.

[personal profile] tsunderine 2018-02-21 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I do, just in case of emergencies.
hopegloats: (38)

[personal profile] hopegloats 2018-02-21 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Komaeda absolutely does not know how to respond to any of this and it shows on his face. This is not how people talk about him. ]

I wonder... would you still feel that way if you knew me better.

[ He smiles, clearly deciding he doesn't know how to deal with this right now and trying to move on. He picks up a card. ]

"What is your favorite guilty pleasure?"
