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 him.

[tilts his head back, staring at the ceiling, his smile bright]

I didn't think we'd meet ever again.

[. . .]

I'm pretty happy he's here.

[hopegloats]

Hoping to improve the world isn't worthy to you? How sad.

[plsbully]

I do not sleep.

[ ez. his lips curl the more cards Ruler puts down.



soft boy ]

You're dominant in a sense, aren't you?

[artisticliberty]

[S T A R I N G]

[purrtagonist]

[WHAT]

. . .










What?? Did I say something weird?

[artisticliberty]

[scoffs]

You cannot change the world by inaction, waiting for someone to use you to their own ends and hoping their intentions are good. That is merely a delusion.

[lefthandpath]

[grrk. getting this sermon from a priest, of all people.]

I try not to.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya frowns and glances away. ]

...Spending time with my friends.

[artisticliberty]

Your expression just now... it was magnificent! I have rarely had the opportunity to witness such a thing on you. I feel inspired.

[lefthandpath]

[laughs a bit]

I suppose I'll have to wait, then.

[counterfaith]

I am not submissive, but I would not say that I am dominant.

[ don't do this. avenger ]

What would you say is your biggest ambition?

[artisticliberty]

Is there a reason why that cannot be a reality?

[hopegloats]

Don't misunderstand. I would also kill, if it meant the same outcome.

[motorcycle_noises]

None of them remember me and they live in an alternate reality from the one I do.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . huh]

Would anyone actually choose the second option?

[plsbully]

Hearing you read one of those cards out loud.


What was your most embarrassing moment?

[misterwormtail]

Eh. [He wobbles a hand vaguely, an ambiguous sort of gesture.] My whole family's wizardly going back a couple of generations, so when I was a kid I was mostly around other wizarding families my folks knew until I was old enough to start at Hogwarts.

Sometimes you get magical kids born into muggle families, though. My mate James's girlfriend Lily had to switch out of muggle school when she was eleven.

[counterfaith]

Avenger.

[ why are you like this ]

[purrtagonist]

[THERE ARE MANY TIMES WHEN LYING IS A GOOD THING]

When you have a secret identity.

[delivered in a deadpan so it doesn't SEEM like he's being serious, but]

[plsbully]

Isn't this fitting comeuppance?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . OH!]

In that case, your title is pretty flattering.

[hopegloats]

[ sitting down with a smile ]

That really depends on a few circumstances, doesn't it? Would I be able to replace it, or would it be gone forever?

[artisticliberty]

Then you are merely a self-absorbed lunatic who hides behind false ideals. How pathetic.

[loveisanopenseal]

As expected from someone such as myself~

[motorcycle_noises]

You mean like a superhero?
