randangonpa | Trash Squad Day 1

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. )

SUBMIT YOUR HOT OR NOTS HERE by Thursday, 6pm PST!

[OH NO SHE'S CUTE]

I guess so, yeah. A little bit of silliness is better in that case.

[He'll draw another card.]

'What would you say is your biggest ambition?'

Clean, definitely. I don't like messes.

[ And then immediately goes to the next card-- ] "Do you know how to cook? Do you enjoy it?"

Another question, then?

[ another card -- ]

"What is your favorite memory with your best friend?"

Well, you did not tell me the answer.

[ hmm ]

You were here before...?

Anything I would like to change about the world I live in?

[There is actually a brief moment of pause in her eyes, a little surprised at the thought itself.]

I believe there is something . . . but I am unsure as to whether I would accept such an offer. After all, it could undo everything including the sacrifices that have been made if one is not careful.

That is why I have taken it upon myself to find the answer I am looking for.

You know, from that game! 'Assassin Mantra' or whatever it's called.

[Which definitely didn't exist in the 70s.]

[... is this a trick question.]

Ah... I think. It can be a good thing when it's protecting someone.

[ She smiles and even lets out a tiny (tiny!) laugh with her. ]

I would be more than grateful to call you a friend, Sayori. Thank you very much. Those all seem like things to be proud of, as well.

Spicy.

Sweet isn't so bad, but bitter blood is right out.

I see. I'm sorry.

[ That must really suck. Although she totally gets it. ] Define love, huh... that's pretty hard. I guess I would say liking someone more than a friend, or a family member would be the simplest answer.

[ right away though: ]

Coffee.

I see... Would you eat eggs, though? Some vegetarians don't consider that "flesh."

[he fought a lot of Shadows in the cognitive world. . . IT HAPPENS. . .]

Ah-- it. . .! It wasn't as bad as you think. Just an accident.

Not especially many, but I've met a disproportionate number recently.

My father was a samurai and directly served the Lord of Mikawa. I do not know my mother as she died when I was young. But her soul was placed inside of Kazuno, who helped raise me.

They both died causing the destruction of Mikawa.

[Sorry you got the most depressing news from a girl whose seemingly unaffected.]

I mean, the stories aren't too bad? But it's hard to focus on the words. It's like they keep jumping around anytime I try to read. That's why I watch movies or tv instead.

[she tries to think of something, she really does. these questions might not have been made for a somewhat law-abiding citizen.]

...A misunderstanding, probably. I can't think of any laws that I would knowingly break.
