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. )

Thank you. I'd appreciate it.

[ As least Rin can provide support as well, which is a plus. ]

Depends. Various ones, I guess. Rubies, sapphires, emeralds. Things like that. I mean, I'd be upset that they're blown up, though... haha.

[assent]

[ Much better than it being one sided, yes.

Still... ]

It would be a shame if items of value such as those were lost, you are correct.

[tsunderine]

Yeah, it really would be such a shame, wouldn't it? The next question is-- "Do you have any special powers?"

[assent]

I am afraid I do not. Not in the sense it seems to refer to, anyway.

[ Unless you count making people feel like they want to bow--but she isn't exactly aware of that??? ] "What's the craziest thing you've ever done?"

[tsunderine]

Ah, I see. [ She'll... keep her own special powers a secret, since that's what she's meant to do. ]

The craziest thing? Well, I guess going to school a few hours early was pretty crazy.

[assent]

[ That's fine, Rin. There's no need to share more than you should either. ]

Was there an event?

[tsunderine]

No, there wasn't. I usually don't go to school that early, actually. I'm not a morning person, after all.

[assent]

In that case it would be rather crazy. If there was not an event, was there another reason for it?

[tsunderine]

... All the clocks in the house were an hour fast, so I woke up and got to school early.

[assent]

I see. A prank or simply a change of the clocks due to the season? That sounds rather unfortunate, however, it is better than arriving an hour late, no?

[tsunderine]

I guess you can call it a prank... but you're right. Better early than late. I don't think I would be able to stand going to school late.

[assent]

I see, so you are also punctual when it comes to your studies. It is good to take them seriously, I fear some of my classmates are not capable of that.

[ "some" . . . ]

[tsunderine]

I feel like studies are pretty important, after all.

[ The moment she says that, though, the buzzer goes off. ]

Ah, guess our time's up, huh? Anyway, it was nice talking to you... Hm. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tohsaka Rin, by the way.

[assent]

I ag-- Ah. It would seem to be the case. I had a pleasant time, also. Please accept my apologies for not starting with my name as well. My name is Sonia Nevermind, Princess of the Kingdom of Novoselic. I hope you have a pleasant evening, Tohsaka-san.
