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. )

Well, gosh, how do you think your thing sounds, huh? Not even the greatest heroes have the power to change the past. Be proud of what you've got there!

[dismemberthename]

We're not gonna come to an agreement on this one, are we?

[helptilistop]

Sure we will! We just gotta convince you that you're as awesome as you actually are.

[truthstranger]

Mm... ah, well. The one that comes to mind first [ because Rin just asked him about it ] is actually the last time I was here, for the killing game. People spent the night exploring with one other person, and if someone was murdered they acted as their alibi while everyone figured out who did it.

But, um, my alibi for one night was... having spent the entire night in someone's room. So... I had to announce that to everyone.

[helptilistop]

[ He stops for a moment to think on the implications. ]

Man... I don't know what the word for that is, but that seems a lot worse than being embarrassing...

[truthstranger]

Well, there were certainly a lot of terrible things about that situation, too. But everyone probing for what exactly we were doing was definitely embarrassing.

[fightingoverdose]

[grins back, shifting to get comfortable]

Mm... I ain't the type to just lie back and take it, you might say. I like to give as good as I get.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Head tilts??????? Nope still not getting it.]

They are both hidden rooms, I cannot think of any others.

[dismemberthename]

Good- luck? I don't know if I should be wishing you luck with that.

[fightingoverdose]

You could do a lot worse than spend an afternoon thinking 'bout who you wanna see your crush get with.

[counterfaith]

Yes, that's right - I am Christian.

[ with a nod, ]

That's an admirable desire. It seems, we really are similar.

[helptilistop]

Mmm, I can kinda see that, then. Lucky for me, I don't really have any secrets.

[ Says the guy who literally crossed out a section of his canon bio and wrote in "le secret♪" ]

[counterfaith]

My - no, to be more accurate, I am more like an older brother to them. Moreover, I have my license . . . Though I am the first to admit that I am still learning.

[truthstranger]

Yes, I suppose so. I'll have to keep that technique in mind.

[he may be stalling while he comes up with a fantasy of his own safe enough to reveal]

[cluelesscavewoman]

[Staaaaaares back

Then picks up her tablet.]

...'Who or what is your greatest enemy?'

[She gave up.]

[truthstranger]

Most people are pretty friendly, at least.

[counterfaith]

. . . Pass. Another question, if you would, please.

[aria_ardeinae]

If you will choose the next card. My luck has not been the best with them.

[aria_ardeinae]

Your build is slight, for a warrior. What weapon do you favor?

[truthstranger]

It's not as if it was a secret, exactly. Just... private.

[helptilistop]

Alright, alright. "Which body part seems tastiest?"

[slice_of_life]

...

I'm sorry, I don't think this is going to work.

[truthstranger]

[he turns bright red]

That's...!

[afailedmurder]

[mostly I just don't have a lot of loved ones]

Evidently so.

...Though this is a rather heavy conversation, isn't it? Perhaps we should ignore the cards.

[helptilistop]

Usually a lance, but I can handle a sword, too! Depends on the situation. I'd show off my favorite one, but, well, it's not exactly here.
