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. )

Oh... I'm sorry to hear that.

[That... actually sounded like a worrying condition more than a disinterest.]

[purrtagonist]

[not really, but how else could he answer!!]

[he thinks about that one for a moment--]

"Akira Kurusu: Think Outside the Bun."

[THAT'S TACO BELL. . .]

[plsbully]

Ah, but I did not hear your answer.

[pecker]

T?

[...WHAT COULD IT HAVE BEEN. SHE LOOKS SO HORRIFIED? She's just going to try to smooth this over.]

D-Did it maybe say 'tickled'? I guess I have ticklish sides!

[daughterofthemark]

[...okay that bit about her mom raises some Questions but.]

...my apologies. I had not realized this would be a sensitive subject.

["Arianna she really doesn't seem very torn up about--" SENSITIVE SUBJECT]

[lefthandpath]

[sliding in across from him, smiling.]

Nervous?

[sunbottles]

[Well now she's a little flustered after all that]

U-um... [Checking her cards.] "What do you do to de-stress?"

[misterwormtail]

Never heard of it.

I guess if it's called that it's not too big a surprise it's got assassins in it, though.

[lefthandpath]

[. . . s w e a t s.]

You mean which one we're called most?

[aria_ardeinae]

It's important to be willing to go to war for each other.

[assent]

[ Well she has to lie to herself and pretend she doesn't want to be a normal girl--so lies can be okay. Maybe. ]

I agree, actually. It is better to lie and ensure someone you care about does not have their feelings hurt, than to trample all over their heart.

[ Morbid ]

[fightingoverdose]

...You sure you wanna remind people about wing night?

hf spoilers

[tsunderine]

[ .... ah, this certainly is a question that someone else she knows has an actual answer to. ]

One that I'd prefer not to answer, unless you count hair, I guess.

[lefthandpath]

Human food disposal.

[he knows his friends very well.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . . . THANKS RIN]

[just going to pretend like that initial card never existed]

Craziest?

[and since it's Rin? he's getting an earnest response]

I jumped out of a stained glass window once.

[lefthandpath]

... I've never dated before, either.

[sunbottles]

[Honestly, that gets a laugh out of her.]

Me too!

[tsunderine]

That's sounds pretty concerning. Anyway, you can take the next card.

[assent]

Even so... [ She sounds so upset for him. ] That is truly awful. I am glad you were able to recover.

[justpure]

Yes, that... But now I'm curious about your family's tradition.

[At least that outfit's explained.]

... And yes, I am interested in human customs as an anthropologist.

[NOT A FREAK. Stupid chinchillas.]

[purrtagonist]

I'm positive.

[earnest passion is good; he enjoys hearing people talk about what they love]

And I'll keep that in mind, too. And I'm sure you're far more reliable than you say you are.

[lefthandpath]

... yes.

[assent]

Lady Arianna, may I ask what your country is like?

[ Hopefully she doesn't have this turned on her because ??? Her country tbh. ]

[tsunderine]

Ahaha. That means you're a good person. I probably wouldn't go to jail for anything, either.

[misterwormtail]

No, it's fine! I don't think you're going to start a witch-hunt or anything. Just be careful, that's all I'm asking.

Anyway, I'd hate to be the reason you got memory charmed. You seem nice.
