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. )

I would ensure that no one goes hungry or feels the need to cause harm to others--whether it is through desperation or anything else.

[ Her hand even covers her heart as she says this. ] I am doing my best for the people of my country, but even then there is only so much I am able to do -- if a wish could make it all come true, that would be a miracle.

[loveisanopenseal]

I see. A person who wishes to work hard for the people, a noble wish that seems easily made, but it also means sacrificing your own personal desires for the sake of others.

[assent]

It is my duty, after all. Though if a wish were to help that, it would mean my people would be happier quicker.

[loveisanopenseal]

If that is what could bring about happiness, that would be a great wish. I only wonder if happiness is so simple.

[assent]

I sincerely doubt it.

[ She sighs, then moves to take a card as well. ]

"What would you say is your biggest ambition?"

[loveisanopenseal]

...there is someone I have to find. I abandoned my position in order to do so. I don't know how long it might take or how far I will have to go, but it is something I have decided to do.

[assent]

If that is the case, I truly hope you are able to find them.

[ She sounds 100% sincere in that. ]

[loveisanopenseal]

I thank you for your kindness.

[also picks up a card]

What are you most proud about?

[assent]

Um... [ She starts hesitantly. ] While I should probably say my country or my people... I believe my friends are the ones I am actually most proud of. Before I came here we were working hard together to build items as part of our trip.

[loveisanopenseal]

Oh, a wonderful answer. The bonds made between people is a great strength and should be valued very highly. I am impressed with such a response.

[assent]

[ She smiles back. ]

It is also my first experience of friendship, so that may be part of it.
