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. )

[ Komaeda drops down at the nearest dating table, smiling at whoever is across from him and picking up a card. ]

"Has anyone ever made an attempt on your life?" What an interesting question.

[aria_ardeinae]

Of course. I'm an eye-catching target on a battlefield, after all.

[hopegloats]

You are, I'm sure no one can take their eyes off of you. I hope you're strong enough to fight them back.

But ah, I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Nagito Komaeda.

[dismemberthename]

Oh, definitely. What about you?

[hopegloats]

[ he nods ]

Quite frequently, actually. I was kidnapped only a few years ago and left for dead in a garbage bag.

[ he smiles off the comment ]

But I'm sure your incident is much more interesting. What happened?

[tsunderine]

What kind of question is that?! [ ... ] The answer is yes, but I'm not telling you why.

Now I want to hear your answer to that same exact question.

[hopegloats]

Why not? Isn't the idea to get to know each other?

[ he smiles ]

I have. A few times in fact. I'll tell you about mine if you tell me about yours.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . yeah. . . multiple attempts, even]

I choked on a jelly bean once. Does that count?

[hopegloats]

Does that mean the Ultimate Executioner has no enemies?

[lefthandpath]

... yes.

[hopegloats]

So many people here lead such dangerous and exciting lives! As expected of Ultimates. But I didn't get your name, did I? I'm Nagito Komaeda.

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya pulls a zippo lighter out of his jacket and flicks it open and shut before answering.  ]

More than once.

[hopegloats]

Haaaah.... that sounds like a story. What happened?

[fightingoverdose]

'Course. Though I dunno how serious they were...

[starinhereye]

And dark. You're sticking with it?

[assent]

[ Between the both of them this sure is a Question. ]

I suppose it would not exactly be called an "attempt", though if my family had not paid the ransom on time that may have been the case.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Jud, I was able to dodge his strike though.

[redcarnation]

[ Isuke raises her hand to her chin as she thinks this one through. ]

'Attempt' is the right word for it, yes.

[pummelgranite]

Uh huh.

[misterwormtail]

Not as far as I know.

[The question's a little... questionable... but honestly it doesn't strike Peter as entirely out of line for a dating game for teenagers, because let's be honest wizards are absolute shit at avoiding child endangerment.]

[clocked_out]

A few people and also paradox space itself, yeah.

[thesystemisdown]

Nope. My life's fairly uninteresting in that sense.

[loveisanopenseal]

They fought with all they had. It was ~wonderful~.

[counterfaith]

. . . . That's a little frightening question, isn't it? How inappropriate, isn't this supposed to be dating?

[slice_of_life]

[blinks, then laughs, nervously...]

Not... to my knowledge? Ahaha...

...I really hope not.
