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. )

Very pleased, yes.

[This is totally how siblings work. :)]

After all, it was one of the only ways she could experience the outside world. You see, my poor sister was suffering from a terrible disease... She didn't have much energy to spare.

[Diligently, Sayori tries to answer all the questions given to her.]

My head! It forgets things and makes me oversleep all the time! [Not to mention the severe depression, but she's not getting into that.]

Um... I'd have to call the police and put up missing person signs, right? I couldn't really do anything else... I'd probably cry for ages, too!

Uuuu... I hope I never commit any crimes, but I bet my bow would fall off and I wouldn't even notice it!

Ah, is that so? Somehow I feel like I should apologize for asking...

[She looks a little startled]

U-um... [Pause. WELL.] I-I guess I can understand that, b-but... I-isn't there a saying? About an eye for an eye...?

Um.... me neither, but I guess it could be fun? Even if it doesn't work out, you can always make a new friend, right?

[ he's legitimately a vampire slayer though #jokes ]

I see. Myself, I attend sermons in the morning, so I would consider myself a morning person.

[there's. a lot to unpack there.]

I see. It sounds like a very big ambition, but I don't have a lot of context for it. Would you mind explaining what an exorcist does?

It worked out just fine in the end, don't worry about me.

[ he leans in, interested ]

Is that so? What are you running from?

... That question depends entirely on context. How dangerous is this hypothetical situation?

[Ma'am, you are intimidating.]

...I see. I believe most families are that way to an extent, but...

[That's a little sad.]

[ If only he could have personally killed some of those people. It's a cruel question. Worth sighing over. Until Ike follows up with the second question. ]

Really? Do you eat the bones?

I see. Ah, by the way, my name is Shirou Kotomine - I don't think I caught your name?

[Does

does she ask the obvious question here

this almost feels like a set up.

she speaks hesitantly] Did... Did you do the crime...?

[Allen Walker how strapped for cash are you. . .]

[arches a brow, but doesn't comment, just. drawing another card instead]

Has anyone ever made an attempt on your life?

[. . .]

[glances up and stares at him expectantly]

[SATISFACTION DIDN'T SHOW]

Hmmm. A pretty cool one was learning how to weave reed horseshoes to soften a horse's footfalls.

That's pretty cool. It's good that you're discerning, too.

I-I'm not sure... They're all a little strange... [At least the ones she keeps picking are.

She looks up, smiling sheepishly] Pl-pleased meet you, Peter-san! I'm Mikan. Um, despite how weird this all is, i-it's nice to meet you!
