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. )

It's fixed, so there's absolutely no chance of it giving way when you use it to defend against an attack from someone else.

Technically it's part of twin knives, one for each hand, but they only left me one. God knows the reasoning there.

[ Explaining this is... surprisingly fun to Isuke. ]

[afailedmurder]

He's growing like crazy. Right now he weighs almost half as much as I do.

[justpure]

That, too... Is possible.

[Well, then.]

Perhaps we should focus our priorities on catching the mastermind in the act later on. This game seems nonviolent, but I would still practice caution.

[justpure]

You'd be suprised how comfortable it is.

[He might have gotten used to wearing a mask 24/7, but it's made from good, breathable material and he takes good care of it.]

But I digress. I don't spend my free time stocking up for the apocalypse, if that's what you're wondering.

[appleofhiseye]

Then I'll make sure to ask him when I see him. I'm sure he'd be glad of something to do. May I ask what kind of person this...Horizon Ariadust is like? She must be an amazing person to have earned your loyalty.

[daughterofthemark]

[those aren't until later in the series]

Of course I have never killed anyone!

[tsunderine]

[ Be glad, Hinata, that this isn't a Cards Against Humanity deck or else you'd be doubly screwed. ]

I've never played video games in my life, unfortunately, [ they do exist, but Tohsaka and technology... is a thing... ] but I suppose collecting gems would be my main hobby.

[ She can't exactly say that 'magic' is her hobby...... if only because it's more of her lifestyle. ]

I also practice kenpo and I'd like to say I'm pretty well read. But I don't think those hobbies are boring at all. [ Rin smiles, but this time it's sweeter than the last few times she's smiled at him. It's not a dangerous one, for once. ] But what do you consider as an 'interesting story', anyway?

[appleofhiseye]

I spend a lot of my free time studying plants and medicines back home. Even though it's for work, it's something that I greatly enjoy. But I like learning about all kinds of things! That might be too broad of an answer, but I plan to take the opportunity here to learn what I can about other worlds. So please don't hesitate to tell me about what you like too; I consider it an excellent learning experience.

[appleofhiseye]

[the Smile Politely And Lie About Overworking Yourself is an expression she's familiar with and her smile aaalllmost slips into a frown, but she tells herself it's none of her business. you're safe for now, shirou]

A...forced vacation still counts as a vacation, I suppose. Vacations are supposed to be relaxing, though, and this situation hasn't been quite as refreshing as a vacation ought to be.

[appleofhiseye]

Some romance novels can have mystery and action too! I haven't read too many of them, myself, but most of those don't need to be mutually exclusive even if they're separated into different genres. Though, just those three topics alone gives to plenty to read, I would say.

[appleofhiseye]

It was the first thing that came to mind, that's all. But port cities are usually quite busy--a lot of people travel through them and there's always lots of trading going on, so there's more of an opportunity to see something new. As long as I get to experience something new I suppose I'd be fine with any location.

[cluelesscavewoman]

What is not going to work?

[hopegloats]

Hmm. Would that have anything to do with who you play them with?

[ Komaeda smiles and leans on his hand. ]

[hopegloats]

Of course. So many important people here with things to return to. I'm completely out of place.

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda actually smiles at that. ]

I'm sure you'll have no trouble with that. You're an Ultimate Princess after all. Everyone will be excited to know someone so full of hope and resolve.

[hopegloats]

That's definitely wise. In my experience cute talking animals can't be trusted at all.

[redcarnation]

That's really specific experience ♥

[hopegloats]

So is this one, don't you think? Even once can't be normal.

[clocked_out]

Probably a one per slice of paradox space kinda deal.

You want to ask a question now?

[hopegloats]

Of course.

[ drawing a card, though it's clear he hasn't totally mentally moved on ]

"What was your most embarrassing moment?"

[cluelesscavewoman]

I am seventeen now.

[She looks down at the next bit.]

Oh. You are like I was. Muneshige-dono said that I am a person with many problems when I told him that I did not have any friends. But that is okay. It is easier to make friends in this place.

[afailedmurder]

It's fine. You couldn't have known.

[picks up the next card]

What is your weapon of choice?

[redcarnation]

Were you in with the raccoon round?

Because if not, Isuke is starting to think this may not be as unusual as we assume it is.

[thickandchunky]

[Pulls his sword from behind his back.]

My weapon is Ragnell. It has sacred properties.

How strong is yours?

[thickandchunky]

Yeah? Do you have your sword with?

[Lifts his own large sword from the sheath behind his back to show it.]

The only fighting I do is with a sword. This one's called Ragnell.
