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. )

Haha, I guess at a glance they look normal to someone who doesn't know me.

[ He picks up another card ]

"Have you ever had voyeuristic fantasies?" Well that's quite a topic change.

[aria_ardeinae]

Ah, chickens.

Those are the fat ones that can't live in the wild and scream at the sun?

[motorcycle_noises]

My brother is a cop.

[dismemberthename]

Honestly? Yeah.

[sunbottles]

Ehehe... it's just so hard to get out of bed, you know? It feels like no matter how early I go to bed, I'm always just so sleepy!

[pecker]

Niwatori, the warrior of the chicken-

[Wait shit? She didn't have to say the full thing? Why are they so word vomit right now.]

Just Niwatori is fine!

[counterfaith]

Low blood pressure, then. It must be tough.

[appleofhiseye]

[she nods along as he explains; it makes sense in those simple terms, and he explains it with such a straightforward manner that she can't think for a second that he might be lying.]

Where I'm from, that might be a bit like being a knight. I can see what a big goal it is now that you've put it like that! I wish you the best of luck with becoming the best exorcist that you can be. I know we've just met, so it might not mean much, but I'm sure that you'll be able to do it. Having enough confidence to try it already a big step, after all.

[dismemberthename]

...

Well. I can dream.

[so yes.]

[afailedmurder]

[blinks]

I'm surprised! You're quite knowledgeable about true crime, aren't you?

[daughterofthemark]

...in truth, I believe most are less like that. My circumstances are somewhat unusual as the Duke's daughter.

[You know, that thing she hasn't actually mentioned in this conversation at all.]

[afailedmurder]

[does so!]

Ah, this one is better. What is your favorite animal?

[justpure]

So you value money over your own dignity... Interesting.

[futurebullets]

[Hinata's eyebrow twitches as he reads the first.]

..."Has anyone ever made an attempt on your life?"

[The second is even worse.]

"If you had six months left to live, what would you do?"

[And he can't say the third is any better.]

"Have you ever tied someone up-" [That's it, Hinata has had enough, he's throwing this down on the table.] What kind of questions are these?!

[dismemberthename]

Same here, honestly. Here, I'll try one.

"What item are you most likely to leave behind at the scene of the crime?"

[fightingoverdose]

I don't wear too many patterns, but florals're okay. Plums or cherry blossoms or whatever.

[slice_of_life]

[gives a little wave] Hi, Sayori.

...I think you'd probably know that better than even I could answer.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ LOOK he lives with hawks who just rip out the fleshy bits and is aware that Nahlia crunches down on the odd bone, he doesn't know where beorc stand on the matter. ]

Right, you don't need to keep your fangs sharp.

[justpure]

... I tried whenever I could.

[dismemberthename]

[oh man literally all of those hit pretty hard]

...Rude ones?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya pulls a zippo lighter out of his jacket and flicks it open and shut before answering.  ]

More than once.

[flamingprick]

[Even if they just met, it means a lot that she didn't laugh at his goal. Most people tell him it's impossible or make fun of him.

So don't mind him, he's just going to be quiet for a moment as he realizes that she's being supportive of him.]

Ah...y-yeah, you're right.

You know, where I'm from, I'm called a 'knight' too. Or I will be, when I'm done with my training.

[dismemberthename]

Hm. I'll try not to judge too quickly if I ever encounter one, then.

[sunbottles]

[Wow, already into the romance section. This one actually has her looking a little embarrassed and reserved.]

Ehehe... well, if someone is nice to me and doesn't mind how... [Worthless.] ... silly I am, then that's the best I can hope for!

[purrtagonist]

Huh. . . and in return, they're more like your family?
