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. )

That's a very reasonable answer.

[truthstranger]

Nothing like that... I've been in this place once before, and afterwards, and went to someone else's world. That's all.

[daughterofthemark]

You were not able to attend? A mercenary's work would not be something you could merely set aside to return home, of course, but...

[dismemberthename]

Mmhm. It was pretty good for sneaking past borders.

[tocatchafallingapple]

Of some kind, but if he didn't mention it, then neither will I!

[daughterofthemark]

I hope so. It is my answer, after all.

[counterfaith]

............................................ Could it be that I'm speaking to a criminal right now......

[daughterofthemark]

Then... "Do you know how to cook? Do you enjoy it?"

[OH GOOD IT ISN'T SOMETHING WEIRD]

[counterfaith]

I see. . .

Then, I won't pry. Is there anything you wanted to ask me?

[dismemberthename]

[that startles a laugh out of him]

Oh, very much so.

[appleofhiseye]

No! I already—uhm—there's someone I already—

[waves her hands a little. takes a deep breath.]

I don't mind playing along a little if it makes things go by faster, but there's already someone that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I only meant to get to know everyone a little better while we're stuck in the same situation together. I apologize if I gave you an incorrect impression of my intentions.

[dismemberthename]

Oh yeah, that sounds like a pretty complicated situation all around. Demons aren't really a thing where I'm from. Or, at least not that I know of.

[hopegloats]

You must execute with a great deal of compassion to have no one ever try to get revenge. As expected of an Ultimate. Unless of course you're downplaying your experience.

[pecker]

Well, it's fine! Your family is your family, after all. I didn't know they were all like that, though. Is that part of your culture?

[artisticliberty]

[poor catless akira]

What would Ann's answer be? Perhaps... ah, yes. Cake.

[truthstranger]

[ The eye contact during that question somehow makes it like five times worse. ]

T-That's...!

[daughterofthemark]

...I would not expect to be imprisoned at all. That would be diplomatically awkward.

[dismemberthename]

Oh. I'm not trying to imply anything, it's just that the topic of lies can be kind of a touchy one for people.

[lefthandpath]

I don't see how those would be mutually exclusive.

[discerp]

[She looks startled but also impressed that Sayori tried so hard to answer them all.

And thank god finally someone answered normally to the kidnapping question.]

Y-you didn't have to answer them all, I-I was just pulling them out at random, I'm sorry...! [She looks around for something to say to help this situation.

It's not even a Situation but she sure is treating it like one.] I-it's a really cute bow though!

[fightingoverdose]

[considers, then]

Underwater rap battle back in middle school.

[counterfaith]

Oh! My.

[ with a smile, ]

Please don't worry, it was only a question of curiosity. I myself am sworn to celibacy, so this sort of game in the first place is against my interests. . . I am approaching this game the same way that you are.

[daughterofthemark]

...I suppose hair is not considered a valid answer?

[pecker]

How about one eyelash.

[lefthandpath]

Mm, a creature that's lived for over seven thousand years.
