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. )

[ Why is your dialect like this. ]

I have little physical strength myself; is it any surprise that I'm drawn to what I lack, such as the "tiddy"?

...Perhaps it is unexpected. By that logic, you would prefer someone gentle and well-mannered.

[justpure]

[True to his word, he listens to this intently.]

Hm... I see. And what about the cat-

[Aaaaand there's the airhorn.]

... Actually, we should continue another time...

[motorcycle_noises]

You can go ahead.

[fightingoverdose]

Sara Sasarano, Ultimate Challenger, apparently. Kinda figured you'd be more aggro what with the whole prepper get-up and all, not that I'm complaining.

[clocked_out]

At least you're suitably up on the dangers of angular inclines.

[Dave's expression softens, too.]

He sounds like a good dude.

[fightingoverdose]

Too true... Gotta find something else equally tough to stack and good to eat, then. Who knows what'll happen if we don't.

[fightingoverdose]

Yeah, probably. Though I dunno how far I'd go outta my way for someone who was actual bad people...

[frowns, actually considering this]

--Anyways, that ain't really fair, is it?

[purrtagonist]

We might starve and succumb to boredom, all at once. That's an awful way to go.

[purrtagonist]

[a fond smile]

He is. Best guardian a kid could ask for.

[noooo all these feelings are starting to leak out, so he immediately grabs another card. . .!]

Ooooh, here's one. "How do your friends describe you?"

[aria_ardeinae]

That's a familiar sound - yes, with the sunrise. Much like- cock-a-doodle-dooo!

[ Reyson is inclined towards sounding elegant and melodic but he certainly does a solid, raucous rooster impression. ]

[fightingoverdose]

Whoa, you got a whole little club excursion, there. Guess we'll all end up getting home with a lot more lit under our belts.

[aria_ardeinae]

Truly nothing?

Ah - hold on, did you say could or would? Will and ability are two different measures, after all.

[fightingoverdose]

Could say the same about you!

Now, I am a sucker for a doe eye. But seems like it'd get boring eventually. Someone feisty's gonna keep things interesting.

[fightingoverdose]

Yeah... If people try talkin' behind your back in some other language, you'll actually get it...so you can figure out their plans. Good thinkin'!

There any other cool parts about princessin'?

[aria_ardeinae]

My people have long lives and long memories, for better or worse.

[fightingoverdose]

Yeah, you don't seem like the chattiest guy at the best of times. Must end up learning a bunch of shit, huh?

[fightingoverdose]

Somehow you havin' some special snowflake stomach don't surprise me at all.

--There's stuff here for you to eat here, right? They ain't making you go hungry?

[aria_ardeinae]

[ That's beautiful, in a bloody way, if you're going to wear fur that's the best way to do it ]

And now, with you. Does it feel strange, never having fought the one you wear?

[counterfaith]

In this case, they are one and the same.

[aria_ardeinae]

Over a meal, perhaps.

[ Was that asking him out on a date or reminding him of his earlier offer? Either way, Reyson's off with a warm smile and a sweep of the wings. ]

[dismemberthename]

You know, I wonder if it should? I hadn't really thought about it. Wolves saved my life and kept me near, even while I was wearing this, so I wonder if it's with me too, since she and I are so alike...

[counterfaith]

[ well, he's not unfamiliar with lying in order to protect the people, anyway ]

Helping others - it is why I am a priest and a missionary.

[appleofhiseye]

But you're still having fun with it, right? I think that's the most important part.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ He's sturdy for a heron, at least he can swallow meat even if he can't keep it down!! ]

I intend to forage later. I'd be surprised if they'd allow any of their players to starve.

[helptilistop]

Well, I mean, I didn't say you were wrong or anything... I'd probably be willing to go that far if I had to, if there was someone I cared that much about. [ There so is. ]
