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. )

Thanks. I'll make sure to keep you in mind if I'm ever in need of an emergency hair clip.

[flamingprick]

[He gives a little salute! And then he pulls out another card.]

"have you ever kill-"

[IMMEDIATELY TOSSES CARD, DRAWS ANOTHER]

"What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"

[purrtagonist]

[. . . . . . . . . . THANKS RIN]

[just going to pretend like that initial card never existed]

Craziest?

[and since it's Rin? he's getting an earnest response]

I jumped out of a stained glass window once.

[flamingprick]

Woah, really? Why'd you do that?

[purrtagonist]

[how much of the phantom thief thing did he tell you, Rin]

I was running from some security guards. It was the only escape.

[flamingprick]

I'm surprised you did it without cutting yourself up.

[He is absolutely speaking from experience there.]

[purrtagonist]

I was wearing a leather jacket at the time.

[it helped. also: protagonist rule of cool]

[flamingprick]

Yeah, but your face! That could've gotten messed up.

[purrtagonist]

Also wearing a mask. And I went back first.

[flamingprick]

Then I guess your playboy-face was safe all along.

[Yes he's still on about that.]

[purrtagonist]

[why]

I always take precautions to protect these good looks.

[flamingprick]

[God, he's snickering now]

I guess I'll have to ask you the secrets of having good looks next.

[Remember how he wasn't very confident about his looks and was sure people would be put off by his demonic features? Yeah, that's still a thing.]

[purrtagonist]

[oh he remembers]

You don't need my secrets. You're good-looking enough on your own.

[flamingprick]

[Okay yeah, that does make him a touch embarrassed.]

I still say that's just you being you, but we'll see soon enough, huh?

[He's kinda hoping that he at least makes it through the first night without getting sent to outcast island. That's not too much to ask for right?]

[purrtagonist]

[Rin you gotta last long enough to go on a date with Akira!]

You'll be fine. You're funny and charming; someone out there besides me will see it, too.

[flamingprick]

Hey now, I never denied being funny or charming! It's just the tail and the teeth, that's all.

[And there's the buzzer. A good place to end, yeah?

though tbh they'll probably be hanging out later anyway, since they're buddies.]

[purrtagonist]

[BZZZ BZZZZ BZZZZZZ, well they'll definitely talk later]

[Akira stands up, but as he goes, he cups his hands around his mouth and calls out]

They're called charm points!

[the tail. and teeth. he means]
