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. )

Nope.

[lifts a hand to pluck the pocky he's chewing on from his mouth]

A rare answer, isn't it?

[loveisanopenseal]

Perhaps. But it showcases a person who can accept the world for what it is.

Or maybe . . .

[purrtagonist]

[raises both brows at her and grins a knowing grin, eyes dancing]

What about you, Elizabeth-san? Anything you'd change?

[loveisanopenseal]

Anything I would like to change about the world I live in?

[There is actually a brief moment of pause in her eyes, a little surprised at the thought itself.]

I believe there is something . . . but I am unsure as to whether I would accept such an offer. After all, it could undo everything including the sacrifices that have been made if one is not careful.

That is why I have taken it upon myself to find the answer I am looking for.

[purrtagonist]

[he still wonders what the question is, but. . .]

It sounds like an answer that can't be given to you by anyone else. I hope that one day, you find it.

[loveisanopenseal]

I am certain I will. After all, I am Elizabeth the great. Or should I say, ultimate?

[purrtagonist]

"Ultimate" seems to fit the theme better. . .

Ah, speaking of. "Ultimate Boss?"

[loveisanopenseal]

A surprising title . . . what could it mean?

[purrtagonist]

[HE HAS SOME THEORIES, BUT. . .]

Wait, I know.

You own your own business, don't you? "Elizabeth's Fancy Elevator Attendant Hats."

[loveisanopenseal]

That is a wonderful title for a business, I would like to visit that place sometime even if I am no such owner.

Perhaps it is reminiscent of the slang form that you often hear among adolescents. Do you understand what I am speaking of?

[purrtagonist]

[slow blinking]

Iiiii do know a lot of slang. . .

[but what slang does she mean, specifically!!]

[loveisanopenseal]

Then certainly you have heard of the term boss. If not, I will explain. It is often used in situations where someone is exceptionally well at what they are doing. For example, a haircut that had been professionally cut with excellent precision can be considered a "boss" haircut. A surgical procedure on kidney transplants done successfully is "boss". It seems to be a reference to how bosses in career fields are considered successful at what they do.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . OH!]

In that case, your title is pretty flattering.

[loveisanopenseal]

As expected from someone such as myself~

[purrtagonist]

[heh. a soft snort]

[that is also when the buzzer goes off, soooo if he was going to say anything else, he s being cut short]

Huh. . . short five minutes.

[loveisanopenseal]

I will speak to you again, I am certain.

[purrtagonist]

So am I.

[he'll make sure of it]
