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. )

[just kind of. Blinks.]

... Well, let's hope you don't have to fight goddesses enough that it constitutes a habit.

[aria_ardeinae]

Many of the survivors, taken as trophies, lived only to perish under the weight of their own sorrow.

[justpure]

[He glances at the cat eared person for a moment.]

Shapeshifters... [Turning his attention back to Reyson.] With an affinity for their animal form, I presume?

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Claps a hand on Rin's shoulder, in sympathy and because he wants to come off as cool and macho in front of someone with proper battle scars. ]

I understand your feelings. Even if I bore scars, my body is hardly that of a massive warrior.

[thickandchunky]

I do wear myself out when I practice, it's about as relaxed as I manage to get. Ranulf thinks I'm crazy.

[Bullhorn goes off? Ike gives it a 'how dare you' look.]

Ah...

[Hmm.]

...I enjoyed talking with you, Reyson. We should speak more after this settles down.

[redcarnation]

Likewise ♥

Let's see what else this deck got for us.

[ She picks up a card and...]

"Which... which body part seems... tastiest?" Now it's getting a little too freaky.

[justpure]

I'm not too sure about that. If you went missing before the competition, it's more likely that your family might get disqualified this year if they don't have someone to take your place.

[redcarnation]

Then I'd tell you that's a wonderful answer in itself.

[ She'll applaud a little, even. ]

[aria_ardeinae]

Indeed.

Luck can be considered a measure of divine favor. Are you on poor terms with the gods of your land?

[aria_ardeinae]

Being able to count on each other for support, then.

Is that mild enough for you?

[aria_ardeinae]

What? No, don't be ridiculous.

Because I've lost the degree of hatred that would truly push me to such measures.

[aria_ardeinae]

[ Physics like the staff?? ]

Nor is it mine.

My instincts know how to move, I've no reason to study them.

[hopegloats]

How optimistic. It's good of you to say that, but even in a place like this, I don't think that's possible for me.

[ he seems resigned, but not upset ]

But don't worry about me. I'm just happy to be here among all of you like this.

[hopegloats]

In, I've never been the type of person to be invited out.

[ then the buzzer sounds and he smiles ]

But it seems like we'll have to continue this conversation later, - [ then he realizes they never exchanged names ] Ah! but I never introduced myself did I? I'm Nagito Komaeda.

[hopegloats]

Oh, I won't.

[ Komaeda grins ]

I'm looking forward to it.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Which country do you serve as a priest for? You have a crucifix so you are a Tsirhc priest, but multiple countries follow that religion.

[And the head of one of those countries wants them all dead.]

[thesystemisdown]

Trust and communication, I would say.

[hopegloats]

[ laughs! ]

You could say that, but this is much more relaxing than my last one.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud. I do not understand, so I let the others handle it.

Hmm. Masazumi. We have been friends since middle school. Then they made her have surgery and leave. But now we both live on Musashi.

[afailedmurder]

Of course. Let's try another card.

["What's your favorite thing to do in bed?" He discards it without saying anything.]

...Another one.

[next card!]

What skills do you have that would help you to survive a zombie apocalypse?

[afailedmurder]

I suppose I could. I wonder if the chinchillas would appreciate that or envy it...?

[aria_ardeinae]

It's certainly something I'd rather not do twice.

[ Flips a card. ]

Ah, here's a crime. "What would you do if someone close to you was kidnapped?"

[helptilistop]

Hey, I never said it was my answer either, y'know. [ Huffs indignantly! ]

[afailedmurder]

It won't? What sort of harsh truths are you keeping from your loved ones?

[hopegloats]

[ with no hesitation, and far too much intensity ]

Despair. Despair is the greatest enemy of all.

[ then his face changes ]

But ah, did you have something else in mind?
