randangonpa | Trash Squad Day 1

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. )

Game navigation
SUBMIT YOUR HOT OR NOTS HERE by Thursday, 6pm PST!

[ he's got a few drinks with him, he might even share if you ask ]

Oh, this isn't bad: what's the craziest thing you've ever done?

[ He just gives a hearty laugh. ]

Ha! I don't know if I even have time to answer that one!

Summary summary then!

Well, I mean, how do I choose? There's the time I made a witch mad and got turned into a tree, or the time I chased some harpies through the gates of Hell, or that time I raided the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, or...

[ He's not kidding when he says this answer could be a while, you should probably stop him. ]

[ nope he's just sitting here and drinking as he hears these answers ]

[ He runs through maybe eleven more examples before realizing: ]

Hey, what about you? Seriously, we're gonna run out of time at this rate.

[Okay that's not too bad.]

Back when I was learning how to control my fire, I burned off all of my brother's and my teacher's clothing except for their underwear.

Then my brother stole my pants so he wouldn't be almost-naked in front of a woman I'm pretty sure he has a crush on.

Well, that must have been pretty embarrassing for them.

Shura didn't seem to mind. She walks around half-naked all the time though so I bet she's just used to it. But Yukio- that's my twin brother- he was super-embarrassed.

Ah, so you're a twin!

Are you the older one?

Yep. Older AND more mature.

[That is a lie.]

He's always looking up to me and relying on me to get him out of trouble.

[Also a lie.]

And I'm more popular with the girls!

[WOW SUCH LIE]

... define "crazy".

Well, by your definition.

Turn down a chance to get money.

That is crazy.

[considers, then]

Underwater rap battle back in middle school.

--How did you do that underwater?

Pretty bad... It's harder to talk without breathin' than you'd think, and that really throws off the rhythm. Anyways, I got the most lyrics out before startin' to drown, so I ended up with the crown.

[ have some applause here ]

Very nice!

...actually, I suspect that what I was doing before being brought here may qualify.

Oh, and what was that?

Attempting to put an end to a ritual that kept a monster sealed for centuries.

Why would you do that?

[...Momentarily hesitating, but then deciding to answer honestly because it's not like anyone will understand anyway.]

Falling in love with someone I've never actually met. I don't even know what he looks like.

I... um...

[she fidgets with her hands behind her back]

Aha. That's... a rather personal question. I... I hope nothing, actually.
