Trash Squad Day 1 - SPEED DATING

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. )

SUBMIT YOUR HOT OR NOTS HERE by Thursday, 6pm PST!

Lotsa people just wanna be carried, or they're too stubborn to take any help. So bein' flexible can be kind of a big deal.
dismemberthename: (but i cannot)

[shrugs]

If I need help, I need help. If I can be of help, that's what I'll do. There's no use being proud about it, or only relying on other people.

You seem pretty chill about all that. There anything that gets you worked up?
dismemberthename: (and they guess it has)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-18 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, plenty does. I was pretty worked up when we first showed up, wasn't I? But you helped me calm down a lot.
fightingoverdose: (b5a)

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-19 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, that's somethin' I don't get too much! What sorts of things're you dealing with back home so that I'm the sort of person who seems calming?
dismemberthename: (me? well i'm well)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-19 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know that it's got anything to do with the way things were where I was last... But you seem like a straight talker, so it's pretty relaxing to feel like I know where I am with a person.

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-19 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, well, you're welcome. The world's complicated enough. People should be simple when they can.
dismemberthename: (well i still have my health)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-19 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
You won't hear any argument from me on that one.
fightingoverdose: (huh1)

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-19 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
So, uh, lemme see, questions... Whaddya do back home you think makes you hot?
dismemberthename: (they shine bright lights on him)

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-19 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
... Can I get that one rephrased?

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-19 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
What's your sellin' point that makes you think you can win this thing? What makes you "hot" and not "not"?

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-19 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[laughs.]

I don't think I'm gonna win this. The reward money would be nice, but I'm definitely not top dating material.
fightingoverdose: (huh11)

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-20 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
You kiddin'? You're crazy hot, you don't seem actually crazy...what more can you ask for for a blind date?
dismemberthename: ('cause you might knock me up)

1/2

[still blushing but]

That's- really nice of you to say, but I've got some disqualifying shit going on.
fightingoverdose: (smirk5)

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-21 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[waves a hand]

You're thinking 'bout it too hard! This ain't forever, it's for now. Plus, you mentioned you've got some heavy shit goin' on back home... May as well have some fun while you can, right?

...Not that I need the competition, but it don't seem sporting for you to disqualify yourself before things even got started.

[personal profile] dismemberthename 2018-02-21 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hah, you're really letting me off easy here. Guess I hadn't calmed down all the way yet after all.

Sure, I'll give it my best shot. It wouldn't do to be shoddy competition.

[personal profile] fightingoverdose 2018-02-21 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit! May the best woman win, eh?

[claps her on the shoulder, friendly, as the buzzer sounds]
