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 a difficult position to be in.

Well, but in any case, this is hardly a conversation appropriate for a date.

[assent]

[ She lets out a sigh of relief. ]

I am glad to hear that. Japan is my favourite country and I have studied it intensively. Actually, before I arrived here I had travelled to study there.

[counterfaith]

I see - and how do you like it? Our country?

[assent]

Aaaaah, I love Japan! From the landscapes to the religions, the clothes to the food... all of it is truly wonderful!

[ Her voice may have raised in pitch now. Ouch. ]

[counterfaith]

[ how exciting. . . ]

How much of it have you explored? Where have you gone?

[cluelesscavewoman]

That sounds strange-

[But then the buzzer goes, but at least you got some explanation of how she thinks magic works.]

[appleofhiseye]

I see. Is that the appeal of it to you? That it's, ah, a dangerous activity? Or are you more interested in the results?

[assent]

[ This is why she was almost Ultimate Weeb. ]

A-actually, I did not get to arrive... I had intended to go straight to my new school but I somehow woke up on an island instead.

[ ... ah ]

[assent]

U-um... [ She hasn't really thought about it, mostly because if she does (like she is now) she gets a little light of breath, her heart pounding hard in her ribs -- hard enough that she has to press her hand over her chest. ] Perhaps it is a little of both?

[ I'm so sorry ]

[counterfaith]

Ah -

[ well, with a little smile ]

I suppose we'll have to continue our conversation next time, mm?

[counterfaith]

An isla—

[ but the bullhorn sounds, and he startles a little ]

—. . . ah.

[appleofhiseye]

[she doesn't get it but she's also very supportive of people doing the things they want to do with their lives as long as it isn't like, murder, so this is probably fine]

I see. I admit that I don't completely understand, but if it's something that you're passionate about then I don't see why you shouldn't pursue it a little more. Just, uhm, please make sure to come and see me if someone gets hurt from a blood sacrifice, alright?

[assent]

Ah... [ She looks disappointed, mostly because she'd been enjoying the conversation this time. ]

Perhaps we can continue this another time?

[assent]

[ Well, about that....... At least she's blissfully unaware of any of the murder side as she's from the dating extra bonus mini game ver of danganronpa. ]

A-ah... I would not try it here, not without someone capable at least. I would not wish for someone to become injured either.

[liftoft]

The universe is just part of who I am! Of course I had to be an astronaut!

[afailedmurder]

That's... an incredibly vague answer.

[liftoft]

Is it? That's just how I feel!

[afailedmurder]

Well, I suppose that's not your fault.

Do you have any hobbies?

[liftoft]

Mostly just training. It's hard work, prepping to be an astronaut, y'know? But, I love all kinds of adventures, too.

[afailedmurder]

What kind of adventures?

[liftoft]

All kinds! That was my goal! Before I went to space, I needed to conquer everything on earth, y'know? So that meant land, sky, and sea!

[counterfaith]

Yes, next time for certain. I'll see you later, Miss Sonia.

[afailedmurder]

How does one conquer the land, sky, and sea, exactly...?

[liftoft]

Haha, duuummy! By getting out there and taking on whatever you come across! Man vs wild! Man vs anything! That's what having an adventure's all about!

[afailedmurder]

[his expression goes from smug to kinda pitying]

You don't know the answer to any of these questions, do you?
