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. )

[oh boy oh boy oh boy]

Too long and convoluted to explain.

[purrtagonist]

[FUTAYO PLZ]

You have extremely strong feelings on meat, don't you?

[plsbully]

[ Avenger seems approving, at that, even if it doesn't seem pleasant for Saihara to recall. ]

You had a cause worth that much to you, then? That you would die for it?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . Allen you're reminding Akira of himself, here]

Tell me a little bit about your friends there.

[because one of the things Akira likes hearing people talk about the most is their friends]

[plsbully]

[ he laughs ]

If nothing else I like to think I am dedicated, myself.

[assent]

[ That's one way of putting it. ]

I am afraid both my parents are rather "stacked in their ways", as they say, so it will most likely not be until I become queen that will happen.

[ Stuck in their ways. ]

[lefthandpath]

Not at all! You can hardly help what these cards are saying. And it's all in good fun, really.

[for example, pulling his next card.]

"Do you exercise? What form of exercise?"

[lefthandpath]

Haa... I guess I'm also guilty of having a lot of attempts on my life...

[assent]

It seems that is the case. Many people seem to have been worried for naught.

[ But that's fairly innocent! No problems there. ]

I like swimming! In fact, I sometimes swam around the perimeter of the island I was at before. Let me see.

[ She'll take the next card. ]

"What food would you prefer someone smell like?" ...What food?

[lefthandpath]

In this instance, no. The soul had already died, and being trapped in that machine would have done worse to it.

[motorcycle_noises]

Huh?

[ Tatsuya turns nearly as red as his motorcycle leathers. ]

W-well, that...! That's probably true.

[plsbully]

So you're more like an exorcist than anything else.

[motorcycle_noises]

I'd be interested to hear the story later.

[dismemberthename]

Doesn't really sound like a thing to phrase as being guilty of.

[dismemberthename]

Then I'll tell you later.

[truthstranger]

Oh, that is a pretty good one. Mm, for me it's probably just night training. After everyone went to bed, we'd go out to the courtyard and do pushups or situps... that sort of thing.

[redcarnation]

Definitely ♥

Wouldn't you say it's best to shun any uncertainty when you only have 5 minutes to get to know one another?

[truthstranger]

Mm, I guess that's true.

[lefthandpath]

Ah... well...

I should be clear.

I'm no longer with the Black Order... very technically. I still consider myself an Exorcist, and my fellow Exorcists as my friends...

[SO FAIR WARNING: HE COULD GET... EMOTIONAL??? R U SURE YOU WANT THAT?]

[redcarnation]

They've certainly walked right into whatever shit they get from us in the following days.

[purrtagonist]

[MMMMMMM]

[. . .]

[his gaze narrows slightly, expression darkening. but he doesn't allow it to linger for long]

. . . it sounds like you'll have a lot of work ahead of you, if achieving peace will be your goal.

[BAD ADULTS LEAVING MESSES FOR THEIR KIDS TO CLEAN UP, GEE THIS SURE ISN'T A THEME OF HIS CANON OR ANYTHING]

[lefthandpath]

[laughing again because that's a very silly question.]

I think if someone smelled like food, I'd just be hungry all the time and I'm already hungry pretty frequently.

[motorcycle_noises]

Thank you. Do you want to pick another card?

[purrtagonist]

[yes]

[he gives a quiet, encouraging nod. go on? go on!!]

[truthstranger]

Yeah. I hadn't really thought about it before, but I had a friend who was really into space, and ever since then I pay attention to the stars more. They're really something.
