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. )

Sure, let me--

[BUZZER]

...Or not.

[redcarnation]

You like to let the surprises hit you, I see I see.

[ Which means Isuke won't say anything about how many affirmative answers she's gotten or not gotten so far.......... ]

Is there anything you want to know about Isuke in turn?

[motorcycle_noises]

...Or not! I'll talk to you later.

[lefthandpath]

You say that and yet that's how I feel about it, still.

[dismemberthename]

See you later.

[we out]

[motorcycle_noises]

Looking up at them... It really makes you think, doesn't it?

[dismemberthename]

Yikes.

[but. says it gently.]

Think we've got time for another?

[fightingoverdose]

[nods]

I think most people'd agree that part's more important than the tiny pants, anyway.

What's a time you felt really good about?

[redcarnation]

We really know nothing at all about the creatures that keep us here... Aaah, dwelling on it makes Isuke annoyed ♥

[assent]

It is especially the case after a stressful time, even in a situation like this. [ She pauses, then asks: ] Would you like to ask another?

[assent]

That may be the case, however... [ She shifts, her hand reaching to grip her bicep and she looks READY TO ROLL tbh. ] ...I am confident I will be able to make a difference!

[ Yeah............. I mean it isn't always what happens in DR lbr... but her case it sounds like it. It's fine, they're prob dead now. c8;; ]

[redcarnation]

[ She's just going to lean a little further over the table in response to that look.... ]

Always the hero, aren't you?

[assent]

Then I will stay hopeful there will be enough food stocked here to keep us all satisfied. [ She's almost laughing as well though. ] I know there wasn't much outside of vegetables, but I wonder if they would have enough ingredients for everyone to bake together.

[ bonding!!! and all that jazz. ]

[fightingoverdose]

You know it! Patience ain't one of my strong suits. Even if somebody nabbed me, I'd probably get bored and break myself out before too long.

Speaking of acts, what's one of the things you're most proud of?

[cluelesscavewoman]

It was a gift of good will. When their treasurer came on-board to discuss trade we offered him a specialty dish.

[lefthandpath]

I don't know about baking, but I do think there is enough food here for everyone.

And cooking together sounds like it could be fun. There are a lot of cooks here, apparently!

[pulling his next card

...

and putting it down.]

You don't have to answer this one.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Oh. What should be doing. My master has the final decision on what we do.

[redcarnation]

Lying may be helpful sometimes, but lying all the time is exhausting.

So why not let people get to know Isuke properly? ♥

[ She has professed intent to win this game more than once now, but she is apparently not entirely aware her personality may not be the most suited for it. ]

[assent]

That was very kind of you. [ She clasps her hands together. ] From what I understand, many trade deals do not begin with an offering these days.

[assent]

It would be really fun. As we are trapped here together, activities like those encourage people to get along.

[ Though ah... there goes the card. ]

Are you certain? I do not mind.

[ Well, she doesn't... know what it is. But. ]

[hopegloats]

[ Komaeda settles into the table, leaning on his arms, still a little too close. ]

Then new question - tell me what you remember about me, and we'll just call that the truth for now.

[redcarnation]

Hmh~... On a beach vacation in the private holiday home that I'll surely have bought for my family by then.

[ Optimism, she has it. ]

[cluelesscavewoman]

I was ordered to return before we could complete our battle. So I used Tonbonkiri's extension mechanism to jump over the wall and retreat.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud. [Searching for the suggested ones. This is hard.]

'Do you have any special powers?'

[redcarnation]

We'll surely get along well then ♥

[ She'll grab the cards for herself at this point and just pick a random from the middle. ]

"What's your favourite guilty pleasure?" The chinchillas demand to know and so does Isuke.
