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. )

[Wow, you have all the luck with these cards.

So he'll try drawing it and seeing if he gets anything better.]

"Which body part seems tastiest?"

[Not much better tbh]

[pecker]

That's pretty weird too... but I guess legs? It's true for most animals, anyway.

[flamingprick]

I dunno, breasts are pretty good too.

[.....WAIT

WAIT NO]

I-I-I mean CHICKEN! CHICKEN BREASTS!

[pecker]

[Too late (or maybe he made it worse?) she is gasping and pulling her cloak shut around her chest!!]

Don't shout! Are you trying to make people stare at me?

[flamingprick]

I'm not- It's only- I-

[ABORT ABORT ABORT

he draws another card and immediately reads it out loud.]

Sadist or masochist?!

[WAIT SHIT]

[pecker]

I-I'm not a masochist!

[She might be getting more sadistic by the minute, actually, but let's try to save this.]

Let me just-

[CARD]

Are you close with your family?!

[Oh. That's actually a reasonable question, though it doesn't sound as reasonable when she practically shouts it.]

[flamingprick]

[You would think so, but the way Rin's demeanor absolutely crumbles from awkwardness to sadness is probably a good indication that it's not.]

Not anymore, no.

[It's hard to be close to someone when they're DEAD]

[pecker]

[Y I K E S]

Umm... that's okay. I won't ask any more, all right?

[flamingprick]

No, it's-

[SHIT]

Let's start over again at the beginning. I'm Rin.

[pecker]

Niwatori, the warrior of the chicken-

[Wait shit? She didn't have to say the full thing? Why are they so word vomit right now.]

Just Niwatori is fine!

[flamingprick]

[Oh god

Oh god she's a chicken

Rin talked about chicken breasts to a fucking chicken]

...

N-nice to meet you. I'm Rin Okumura.

[pecker]

[The look of dawning horror on his face is such a thing. Such a thing that she just starts laughing...]

Um... you too, Rin-san!

[He already told her his name was Rin... he must be so embarrassed.]

... Well the truth is, Niwatori is just my name as a warrior ... d-do you want to know my real name? It's Ryouka.

[A beat, before she offers.]

I'm not really like Reyson-san. The feathers are symbolic.

[flamingprick]

[Yep, pretty much. He's stumbling over himself to try and cover up how absolutely embarrassed he is.]

Right, Ryouka! Though if you want to be called Niwatori that's fine too! I'll call you whatever you want.

[pecker]

Either's good with me. Really.

[...And now she doesn't know what to talk about again. She just pokes her fingers together for a moment, glances at the cards, decides after all that's what got them into trouble in the first place, and then tries to break the silence some other way.]

So do you like... um... any kind of art?
