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. )

Morning person. Hey there.

[counterfaith]

Hello, Sudoh-san. I am a morning person myself.

[dismemberthename]

Then we're well-matched! How cute.

[counterfaith]

"Cute" . . . ?

Ah, if you'd like to ask a question, please feel free.

[dismemberthename]

Let me see... Oh! This is a good one. "If you could visit anywhere, where would you go and why?"

[counterfaith]

Mm. . . Perhaps. . .

The Edo castle. Just to see it.

[dismemberthename]

Huh. Any particular reason past that? Or just tourism?

[counterfaith]

. . . Let us say it is a promise to someone. Though as for the details, I cannot say.

[dismemberthename]

I get that. I'll keep my nose out of it.

I hope you get to, sometime.

1/2

[counterfaith]

If it is in God's plan, it will be done.

[ picks up a card ]

[counterfaith]

[ ........................................ sets it to the side and picks up another one ]

"What is your favorite thing to learn about in your free time?"

1/??

[dismemberthename]

[reaching over to check out that card in mild curiosity...]

[dismemberthename]

[oh]

fin

[dismemberthename]

[puts... it... back...]

Uh. Craftsy stuff? Making things with my hands.

[counterfaith]

[ curiosity killed the cat ]

Oh? I'm curious, what have you learned recently then?

[dismemberthename]

[SATISFACTION DIDN'T SHOW]

Hmmm. A pretty cool one was learning how to weave reed horseshoes to soften a horse's footfalls.

[counterfaith]

My! Is that something you learned in China?

[dismemberthename]

Mmhm. It was pretty good for sneaking past borders.

[counterfaith]

............................................ Could it be that I'm speaking to a criminal right now......

[dismemberthename]

[that startles a laugh out of him]

Oh, very much so.

[counterfaith]

[ with a laugh himself ]

I see, what an adventurous youth I've met today!

[dismemberthename]

Pardon me for saying so, but you look younger than me.

[counterfaith]

Ah, well -

[ and then the bullhorn sounds ]

- that's a question for another time, isn't it?

[dismemberthename]

[looks kinda spooked, like he forgot that was going to happen.]

-Right, later then!

[counterfaith]

[ waving as he gets up! ]

See you again.
