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. )

I would ensure I had no lingering regrets in this life.

[ he's READY ]

When is lying a good thing?

[thickandchunky]

...I don't have much of an idea on that. I wouldn't say I'm good at appraising strength on sight alone.

Futayo has a spear, though. And she said she was raised to fight.

[Pauses. Maybe he should ask something......]

Reyson, what do you do to relax?

[daughterofthemark]

[SHE IS CUTE AS HELL.]

Personally, I rather like plaid.

[dismemberthename]

Okay. Another card in the meantime, then?

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda looks briefly thoughtful. ]

It's only acceptable if they're attractive, isn't it? Or else it's just uncomfortable.

[counterfaith]

. . . It is a sin, regardless of intent. But, there are lies that are borne of good intent, to protect someone or something. Some think it is a form of kindness.

[ a total nonanswer, there we go ]

Can you tell me some things about your family?

[plsbully]

Hmph. Subdue my captors and escape, if there's no other limits.

[ he looks at his own cards ]

How important is honesty to you in a relationship?

[daughterofthemark]

[Well he should be! I almost had to figure out what the state of zombie apocalypse literature is in post-post-apocalyptic pseudo-medieval fantasy Scotland!]

Oh! Yes, very much!

[plsbully]

What would be a prisoner's worse enemy?

[purrtagonist]

[slides the card aside and reaches for another one]

Or it could be a question written to make the atmosphere awkward.

[flips over the new card]

Ah, here's one. "What are you most likely to go to jail for?"

[purrtagonist]

"Ultimate" seems to fit the theme better. . .

Ah, speaking of. "Ultimate Boss?"

[plsbully]

I had a father that unfortunately perished before I could escape prison.

[ to put "He literally died of unhappiness because I was imprisoned" lightly ]

What in your mind constitutes stalking?

[truthstranger]

Ah... maybe. It says they'll just be assigning us, though.

[daughterofthemark]

I beg your pardon?!

[dismemberthename]

...You've got a lot going on, don't you? Avenger, former prisoner, magical Ultimate Chuuni.

1/2

[ INTERESTING HOW YOUR FATHER SEEMS TO BE THE FATHER OF EDMOND DANTES AND YET YOU CLAIM TO NOT BE, EDMOND DANTE, ]

Persisting to follow someone to an extent that is unusual, unnatural.

[ picking up a card ]

Have you ever -

[hopegloats]

That's good. The world needs strong and decisive people. It wouldn't be any good if everyone were as weak as me.

[ he picks up a card ]

"Do you like using props in the bedroom?"

[purrtagonist]

[WHICH PART ISN'T SURPRISING: the confidence, or the good-at-kissing]

That's my perspective, though. You'd have to ask Ichigo for confirmation.

[counterfaith]

[ . . . wait

puts it down

picks up a different one. ]

. . . Are you a morning or night person?

[truthstranger]

It does, but I've heard somewhat similar things before... and in this sort of situation, I can't really be too skeptical.

[hopegloats]

What would count as a non-serious attempt, then?

[purrtagonist]

[BZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZZZ, well they'll definitely talk later]

[Akira stands up, but as he goes, he cups his hands around his mouth and calls out]

They're called charm points!

[the tail. and teeth. he means]

[purrtagonist]

Mmm. Same here.

[and that is when the buzzer sounds. oops. FIVE MINUTES ARE UP]

[dismemberthename]

Honestly, it would be fair if you could, though.

[purrtagonist]

[deep sigh]

It's an out-of-context joke.
