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. )

Akira Kurusu. Just Akira is fine; I don't mind.

[standing up to go, now that names have been exchanged]

[dismemberthename]

[stands up]

See you around.

[hopegloats]

Sexy ones. It's a dating game, after all.

[fightingoverdose]

Sure. If you're in trouble, do you want help to bail you out? or do you wanna hero it all yourself?

[counterfaith]

It was lovely to meet you, Akira-kun.

[dismemberthename]

I'm a pretty big fan of it.

[aaaaand there goes the buzzer.]

Oh, shit. See you around, then.

[hopegloats]

For another time then. I'm sure it's very interesting.

[ drawing a card ]

"What is something you wish you could change in your world?" Though that seems like a long answer too, doesn't it?

[artisticliberty]

[fushigi mystery]

You mentioned an 'Ichigo' before.

[dismemberthename]

Whatever works, isn't it?

[plsbully]

Scary for me or scary for others, I wonder? If it's the former...

[ hmm. he hasn't exactly forgotten Korekiyo is diverting but he won't pursue it right now. ]

Escaping from Château d'If, unsure if my plan would work, unsure if the grand fortune I had been promised actually existed.

[purrtagonist]

[poor Allen Walker]

You've got to be pretty brave, to stick with a job like that one.

[thickandchunky]

...That's simpler than I thought. I don't know what I was expecting.

[truthstranger]

That's a good way to put it, actually. With everything else that was going on, it was nice to have something simple.

[artisticliberty]

[oh, already?]

See you.

[hopegloats]

[ very pleasantly ]

The question was about my fantasies, not my ambition, wasn't it? But ah, what goals could someone like me possibly have?

[thickandchunky]

......One did fancy me.

[Ike's look says it all.]

[loveisanopenseal]

A surprising title . . . what could it mean?

[purrtagonist]

[-- ah, right. he never explained the extent of that relationship, did he? there wasn't a point, when he was so sure he'd never see Ichigo again]

[Akira ducks his head, mouth curving into a small, fond smile, as he twirls his fingers through his bangs]

Yeah. I met him during the killing game. He became my closest friend and confidant during the entire thing.

[deep breath in]

Boyfriend, also. I didn't mention that part because long distance relationships don't exactly work through time and space.

[fightingoverdose]

Some people wanna be the hero, more. I guess as a princess, you've got security teams workin' on keepin' you outta danger all the time, huh?

[purrtagonist]

This place is small enough that I don't doubt it.

[AND THEY'RE OFF]

[purrtagonist]

Likewise, Shirou-san.

[only using the honorific because Shirou did first!]

I'll catch you later, then.

[counterfaith]

[ wave! ]

See you soon.

[purrtagonist]

[HE HAS SOME THEORIES, BUT. . .]

Wait, I know.

You own your own business, don't you? "Elizabeth's Fancy Elevator Attendant Hats."

[motorcycle_noises]

[ It's much more interesting when it isn't your life. ]

Ah... I don't have an easy answer for that one, sorry.

[ Tatsuya draws a card.  ]

"What is the sexiest article of clothing?" Wait, what?

[truthstranger]

More like... there were some important people going there. I suppose it's my world too now, but it's a bit too early for me to really feel like it, I guess.
