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. )

... Actually, the most sensible option is to just buy extra bread and bring it back to your friends.

That doesn't seem anything like a predicament that requires the roles of saviour and saved.

[cluelesscavewoman]

They should not be so complicated then. It is easier to use frame signs, they can explain the parts I do not understand.

[thesystemisdown]

I'm a bit of a morning person. Though sometimes I have to stay up late to finish up some work.

[thesystemisdown]

Ahaha, that's... a pretty complicated question for me.

[redcarnation]

There seem to be quite a few people who've got that experience. Isuke's got it as well ❤️

[dismemberthename]

Makes sense, given they probably knew who they were taking when they set up the cards.

Isuke, is it? I'm Sudoh. Nice to meet you.

[clocked_out]

Precious. What kind of mementos?

[discerp]

N-not necessarily... I-I mean, I understand, but if you're in an open enough place, your hair being there w-wouldn't be much of an indicator that you're the one who d-did it, right?

Like, um, if you k-kill someone in an alley or something like that... Y-your hair is just going to be one of a lot of hair that could be there. Of course, if you k-kill someone in their own home it's a lot more suspicious...

[The moral of this story is to murder in public.

She flinches suddenly] I-I'm sorry! Th-that was weird, wasn't it? R-really weird!

[thesystemisdown]

It's a pretty difficult concept to define, isn't it?

[clocked_out]

Tough call, I have a lot of quality best pal anecdotes. Probably frolicking around playing hopscotch on large chalk dicks.

[clocked_out]

If you want to count your bro as your best friend, I ain't gonna stop you.

[clocked_out]

That sounds pretty good. How were you flying?

[clocked_out]

Are you serious??

[dismemberthename]

Uhhh yes.

[clocked_out]

A few people and also paradox space itself, yeah.

[justpure]

It's an impossible concept to define.

[In his eyes, anyway.]

Would you like me to change the subject?

[flamingprick]

Yeah? I never thought of it that way. It'll make the chore go faster!

[He'll go ahead and draw a new card now.]

Okay, new card! 'What are you looking for in a partner?'

[justpure]

You mean love songs? Those are expressions of love, not definitions. We as human beings tend to put feelings like those into creative works, and have been doing so for ages.

[justpure]

Not everyone enters a relationship for sex, you know...

[Geez, this person is a perv.]

Though now that we've established what your stance on the matter is, how about I ask you something else?

[flamingprick]

[Okay, Yukio memory it is!]

Back when we were about...eight, I think? We got to go to the beach with our Dad. We always did fun stuff as kids, but this one sticks out in my mind because Yukio didn't cry once while we were there. Normally he's a huge crybaby! Even when we did fun stuff something would always happen and get him to start crying. But we got to have a whole day of fun building sandcastles and playing in the water, and he looked so happy during it too.

[Really he has like a million good memories with his brother, it's hard to pick just one.]

[thesystemisdown]

I've been learning to play the piano lately.

[thesystemisdown]

[After flipping through a few cards...]

Oh, this one's interesting. Have you ever been here before?

[aria_ardeinae]

So short? Then what of tomes? Surely those are as bulky as ever.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Taking up piano evidently isn't in the cards. ]

I do tire more easily than you - perhaps if you wore yourself out before a rest, it would soothe you more deeply.

[aria_ardeinae]

Laguz don't interpret crime quite as you might; there's few laws set in stone for us. I did, however, fight against our goddess of order once. I'd do it again, had I reason.

[ Just casually dropping that out there, it's not like it's not extremely common knowledge in Tellius. ]
