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. )

What do you train for, specifically? Are you a knight of some kind?

[cluelesscavewoman]

I am a samurai. It is my duty to defend Horizon Ariadust and follow her orders.

[appleofhiseye]

I see! It sounds like a lot of work, if I'm honest. Still, if it's something that you enjoy then at least it isn't a burden.

What kind of food do you like eating best?

[cluelesscavewoman]

Judge. My father served her father, so I will do the same.

I like meat the most! And fish! And barbecue meat!

[BEAMS. Can you tell what she likes?]

[appleofhiseye]

[it's pretty obvious what she likes, but it's endearing and Shirayuki can't help but smile a little at her enthusiasm]

Do you like spicy foods? I have a friend here who can make some very good spicy meat dishes, if so. He might not be opposed to making something if we asked.

[cluelesscavewoman]

[aaaaAAA! Sit's on the floor, curling her legs under her and staring.]

Judge. I like all food! I would like that very much.

[appleofhiseye]

Then I'll make sure to ask him when I see him. I'm sure he'd be glad of something to do. May I ask what kind of person this...Horizon Ariadust is like? She must be an amazing person to have earned your loyalty.

[cluelesscavewoman]

Master Horizon is an automaton. She was killed ten years ago in a road accident. Her father removed her soul from her body and used it to create weaponry, which was given to over countries.

We are currently at war to retrieve them so that she can be returned to her former state.

[...that didn't answer the question.]

[appleofhiseye]

I...

[that didn't answer the question and raised even more questions????]

...I'm afraid I don't understand at all. What's an automaton?

[cluelesscavewoman]

An automaton is a mechanical person. They are incapable of feeling emotion unless a soul is placed inside, and always choose the most logical course of action.
