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. )

Hmm. The family business was making wood instruments. Does that work?

[daughterofthemark]

Indeed it does! Were they flutes and the like, or perhaps more akin to violins or lutes?

[dismemberthename]

The violins and cellos end of the scale. I don't think we ever made many lutes, though.

[daughterofthemark]

I suppose demand for them would vary. They're quite popular among independent performers, but an orchestra would have little use for them.

[dismemberthename]

[nods.]

Makes good sense. Should I ask you one?

[daughterofthemark]

If you'd like.

[dismemberthename]

"When is lying a good thing?" Oh, geez.

[daughterofthemark]

[...............]

I suppose one might be in the position of being asked for information that will be used to harm...

[dismemberthename]

That's a very reasonable answer.

[daughterofthemark]

I hope so. It is my answer, after all.

[dismemberthename]

Oh. I'm not trying to imply anything, it's just that the topic of lies can be kind of a touchy one for people.

[daughterofthemark]

I would expect that dishonesty has been the cause of many more problems than it has solved. So that comes as little surprise.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah, it makes good sense. Though I think it does have the capacity to solve things more than someone might expect.

[daughterofthemark]

...perhaps.

[dismemberthename]

Ah, sorry. Another card?
