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. )

Ah... Well, both of those seem like pretty good reasons.

[daughterofthemark]

I'm not certain I can properly describe it. But essentially, the two should be able to be friends.

[helptilistop]

Well! Nice to know I'm not doing anything wrong, then!

[lefthandpath]

[ah. there we go.]

You're actually the first to ask about it. I don't mind, for the record. I get that question a lot.

It's a curse I got when I had my face cut when I was younger.

[puts a hand up to push back his hair to show it is definitely an inverted pentagram on top of that scar through his eye.]

[fightingoverdose]

Pretty young to be a father of five...though I guess you're studying to be a Father of a lot more, huh.

[helptilistop]

Oh, did they make a play about us? Man, I'd love to see that...

[ y e p that is what he means ]

[lefthandpath]

... worked past it more or less.

[he just had to get RUN THROUGH first.

aaaaand there's the horn.]

[daughterofthemark]

[...she actually believes that. And is really weirded out.]

...I have never elected to taste blood.

[purrtagonist]

[ah, yep. somehow, he suspects that's what Allen was waiting for]

I was serious, by the way.

If you really didn't want to talk about it, then you didn't have to.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . OH DEAR]

Incidentally, neither have I.

[daughterofthemark]

While there is no shortage of dishes worth examining, I'm certain I'll always favor a venison steak.

[daughterofthemark]

Arianna. I am pleased to meet you, Sir Peter.

[lefthandpath]

[getting up from his seat, smiling easily.]

If I didn't talk about all the things I don't want to talk about, I'd likely not have much to say at all, would I?

It's fine. I didn't mind.

[daughterofthemark]

Indeed, but this one in particular is exceptionally dangerous.

[daughterofthemark]

I like dogs! Large ones, especially.

[daughterofthemark]

This was a strange question.

[purrtagonist]

[pulls up a lopsided smile]

Ain't that the truth.

On your own time, then. [hm!] We'll talk later?

[helptilistop]

[ Nods in approval ] I like it! Probably the answer I'd give, myself, in fact!

[purrtagonist]

Strange questions deserve strange answers.

[helptilistop]

Oh, you know, flying off to travel the world, maybe make it a little better place while I'm at it. The usual, really!

What about you? Anything interesting?

[daughterofthemark]

Then... I prefer the blood of hedgehogs. Surely it will make me cuter.

[purrtagonist]

[oh my god]

[presses a hand against his mouth and cracks up]

What does-- that even mean?

[discerp]

Oh! S-so you must be religious, right? [That's what missionaries do, right??] I don't know too much about missionary work, myself... is it, um, Christian? [That's the only kind of missionaries she really can think of, anyhow.]

But, still! That's really good of you! I think, if we have the means to help people...We definitely should! i want to use my medical knowledge to help the whole world.

[lefthandpath]

Mm... seems likely.

[waves and wanders off.]

[helptilistop]

[ His looks are canonically part of his legend, but golly does that answer make him seem more full of himself than he is. ]

My turn, then! "Which body part seems-" Nnnnope. [ /toss ] "What was your most embarrassing moment?" Hmmm... I'll allow that.
