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. )

. . . Pass.

[counterfaith]

Mmm - what is your worst pet peeve?

[counterfaith]

Well - I do try to balance personal life and work.

[ this is a lie, he only rests now because his master needs to rest ]

In that sense, this is a little like a vacation for me.

[counterfaith]

Case, you said? Ah, that's right - you would be the Ultimate Detective, correct?

[truthstranger]

Yes, that's right. Though I really wasn't that much of a detective, before. I'm working on it now.

[counterfaith]

I see - is that what you'd like to do for a career, then?

[futurebullets]

Having a place to belong is important. It sounds like you found a good thing for yourself there.

[Is there a bit of wistfulness in his tone? Perhaps.]

Is it a temporary thing, or do you think you'll stay there for good?

[tsunderine]

[ She'd ask more but... it's probably something that she shouldn't ask about. ]

Okay, okay! Let's move on to the next question, shall we? You don't mind asking this time, do you?

[tsunderine]

I suppose that's true. But if they did say they're messy, at least that shows their honesty, right?

[truthstranger]

I plan to try it out, at least. I am pretty good at it, and I like being able to help people with their problems.

[tsunderine]

Hm? Of course I would. That's only obvious.

[ She's from a city not a village, but she won't make that correction just yet. ]

The city I live in is owned by my family, after all. [ So, yeah. It's important to her. ]

[fightingoverdose]

If you're offering to cook, you don't have to invite me twice! Maybe your skills can cancel out my luck.

[dismemberthename]

That's true enough.

[dismemberthename]

It's temporary. I'll leave eventually, but it might be in a few years.

[tsunderine]

Oh, is that so? What kind of adventure was it?

[truthstranger]

Mm, at the very least, you can always tell the effort they put into it.

[flamingprick]

Well yeah! Not having a dick would suck!

[Since. That's what he uses to pee and all.]

[tsunderine]

That's... really weird. Anyway, it's my turn to ask a question, so: "Do you follow any religion?"

[fightingoverdose]

Yeah... How's the song go, if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with? Or maybe a bird in the hand's worth two in the bush...?

I'd spar with you. You do some sort of hand-to-hand?

[afailedmurder]

[This conversation has been going just as keikaku up until this exact moment, but Akechi is not even remotely prepared for that disappointed response. It throws him off.]

Oh, ah... y-yes. He was... complete scum. Apparently, there were a number of people who still wanted to elect him...

[fightingoverdose]

Guess it comes down to how interested are you in people who're offended by the principle of threesomes. Since I'd assume if you're askin' it that way, it's what you're after.

[flamingprick]

Yeah, something like that. Most people wouldn't be interested in this kinda stuff anyway- [He's pointing to his extremely sharp teeth, but he's also got pointy ears and a tail.] -so there's no point in getting my hopes up at the start, you know?

[But at the mention of sparring, his face lightens up.]

Yeah! I like that kinda stuff, especially if it's with someone who's strong. And you look really strong, so I bet it'd be fun!

[fightingoverdose]

Can't imagine it hurtin' nobody, either. What about you, how would you change the world?

[futurebullets]

Ah, reading is something I like too, but... [It's the last bit that's caught his attention.] Do you look after children back home? Or are you... [He might just get a bit pinker. There's probably a more subtle way to say it, but that isn't Hinata's forte.] Are those your kids?

[Hinata didn't think he was old enough for that, but???]

[tsunderine]

Next question.... [ picks up another card ] "Do you have any special powers?"
