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. )

Eh, that one doesn't bother me. Plenty of people have.

[fightingoverdose]

True, but I bet it's easier to imagine a knight in shining armor sweepin' in when you've got actual knights around, right? Or at least, it'd be tougher to grab a princess from a tower with some entourage followin' you around.

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda is clearly interested ]

But they paid it? What a good family. As expected of royalty.

[aria_ardeinae]

They are hawks, while I am a heron.

[hopegloats]

Wow. How specific. What did you do in response?

[assent]

It is the same for me. [ Even she looks faintly embarrassed now. ] Some of these questions are much too scandalous. However, I feel like you will not judge me for it, at least.

[dismemberthename]

[shrugs]

It is what it is. I'm guessing you wouldn't go for the streaking thing?

[assent]

It may have caused outrage had they not, do you not think? How could they be expected to look after their own people if they could not save their daughter?

[plsbully]

Zombies are the undead. Typically, shambling, grotesque corpses.

Did I not answer the question well enough?

[hopegloats]

Does that mean you got them first?

[redcarnation]

Then sure.

Want to ask something next?

[plsbully]

Ahh, so it was out of duty.

[ acknowledging -- he flips his card to the next question: ]

What would you do if you were kidnapped?

[aria_ardeinae]

Quite so! They aren't as easy to display, depending on the size and placement.

[dismemberthename]

Nothing I do is a secret from her, she just won't know about it unless she's told. It's just meeting a new person with the same face.

[hesitates a moment, then decides to be straightforward with her.]

'Cause I'm keeping this body alive as long as I'm in here.

[lefthandpath]

[god, he's just. still so hungry.]

There really is! And especially when you're traveling! There's quite a difference in cuisines!

[assent]

Well, they would not be called "knights" in this day and age, but you are correct, yes. It is not very romantic, however, is it?

[plsbully]

That sounds like a far different "game" than this one.

[lefthandpath]

It's almost a relief? It makes it a bit easier, if a bit more awkward, when everyone's trying to figure it out.

[dismemberthename]

I can tell you later when there isn't a time limit, if you want.

[blinks, but goes with it.]

Fair enough. You have nice hair.

[purrtagonist]

[fair enough. he nods, and lifts a hand to send Shuichi off with a two-fingered salute]

Right. Catch you later, then.

[lefthandpath]

That is not my experience when I'm "damseled". Usually, there's a lot of worry for the other party. It's very stressful.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . it sounds like her country is pretty unstable. no wonder she spoke of kidnappings]

There has to be a way to ease tensions somehow.

[purrtagonist]

[nnnnn!]

Just be yourself, no matter what that is. Besides, this one is my fault.

[redcarnation]

She didn't have the guts to go through with it. A little pathetic, really.

Isuke let her live.

[ But not for lack of guts. ]

[dismemberthename]

[leans back, evidently thinking about it pretty hard.] ...Parents that abandon their children.
