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. )

What sort of comeuppance is -

[ the bullhorn sounds and he looks

embarrassingly, relieved ]

. . . . tch.

[artisticliberty]

[oh, shit]

Ah, that is... I am sorry. That must be very painful.

[sunbottles]

No way! Everyone deserves a friend! [She is VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS

But ah. The Ultimate student thing. She forgot about all that.]

Ehehe... I don't know if I'm really an ultimate student. It's not like I was ever really known as a great, like... mediator? Ultimate clumsy girl would have been way better!

[Half joking, half serious here.]

[truthstranger]

Well, either way, if you put yourself at risk that way for your friends, that's pretty amazing.

[purrtagonist]

Yep. Just like in Phoenix Ranger Featherman Victory.

[THANKS FUTABA]

[sunbottles]

[Nothing like eating your feelings and talking about eating your feelings.]

Pudding is great! And I bet your native dishes are, too! Nothing like a taste of home, right?

[dismemberthename]

[oh... blushes]

Ah... thanks. Should we do another card?

[misterwormtail]

[On the one hand, he actually feels like this isn't going terribly. On the other... he seems to have backed himself in the corner of being the one to carry the conversation, which is not really a position that Peter is used to.]

So, uh, first time being abducted by deranged chinchillas? [Nailed it.]

[purrtagonist]

Ah. . .

[another thing Yusuke doesn't get to see often: AKIRA BLUSHING. just slightly, a light pink dusting on his cheeks]

I wear it that obviously, then?

[sunbottles]

Um... my feet are pretty ticklish. Maybe back rub?

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Ugh, thanks? ]

...So you enjoy eating crow?

[ That idiom's pretty much the same in his world. Albeit with some weird connotations in Kilvas ]

[artisticliberty]

[@_@!!!!!]

On the contrary, its subtlety suits your features well. I really should have brought a sketchbook with me.

[plsbully]

[ > : ) ]

I shall see you around, I suppose ... ?

[counterfaith]

............ How immature.

[ mumbles, more to himself than anything. clearing his throat ]

. . . Then, I'll see you later, Avenger.

[motorcycle_noises]

Is that the newest Featherman? The last one I saw was R.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . he threw that in there as a purposefully vague reference, so he's kind of struck when Tatsuya actually recognizes the name. the only problem?]

Really?

[blinks. slowly]

I'm not into Featherman as much as one of my friends is, but. . . didn't R come out a long time ago?

[TIME TO MAKE TATSUYA FEEL OLD??]

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah.... I know I'll see them again when we all rejoin the Collective Unconsciousness, but until then...

[starinhereye]

[has been flipping through cards and there is a half finished drink on his table]

Oh, this is a good one. What are you most proud of?

[also, no cape but still wearing a sword, coat sleeves rolled up; it's a casual prince]

[purrtagonist]

[A RARE SHOWING OF LEADER'S LOVE STRUCK SIDE]

I'm kind of flattered you think me worthy enough to be the subject of one of your sketches.

[motorcycle_noises]

....It was popular when I was a kid?

[misterwormtail]

Seems less likely to turn weird, too, honestly.

What's your name? I'm Peter.

[starinhereye]

And dark. You're sticking with it?

[purrtagonist]

[huuuuh. he shrugs!]

I guess I'm only familiar with the more recent seasons. My friend is really into Victory. Pink Argus is her favorite.

[Futaba's got a celeb crush I'm just saying]

[starinhereye]

There's three of us. Me, my older brother, and my mother. We don't see each other a lot, but it's always interesting when we do.

How about yours?

[bladeisme]

...I guess that everyone I care about is safe and happy.

[Because like hell he's going to talk about any other types of fantasies.]
