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 a carefree sort of person. Well, that's not a bad thing.

[helptilistop]

Well, if I changed anything, I probably wouldn't be where I am now, right?

What about you? Anything you'd change?

[dismemberthename]

...A lot. But, that's already what I'm doing.

[helptilistop]

[ le gasp ]

You're a time traveler?! That's actually a thing?!

[dismemberthename]

Yep! Though it's not as convenient as stories would have you believe.

[helptilistop]

That doesn't make it any less incredible! You must have some pretty amazing stories, right?

[dismemberthename]

Nnnnot really. I only traveled to one time, and I was just a normal teenager before that.

[helptilistop]

Hey, how many people can even say that much? I sure can't, and trust me, I've been on plenty of adventures before.

[dismemberthename]

Yeah? What sorts of adventures?

[helptilistop]

Well, as one of the Twelve Paladins of the Great King Charlemagne, there was always something to do! There was the time I captured a giant, the time I bested a thief who couldn't be killed, the time I flew to the moon... Oh! Plus, I was a servant in the Great Holy Grail War, which was a heck of a story on its own!

[dismemberthename]

...Yeah, no, I think you're the cool one here.

[helptilistop]

Psh, naaaaah. The others are all way cooler than I am. I just tend to be along for the ride most of the time.

[dismemberthename]

See, you say that, but being along for the ride for half the stuff you mentioned is still really cool.

[helptilistop]

Well, gosh, how do you think your thing sounds, huh? Not even the greatest heroes have the power to change the past. Be proud of what you've got there!

[dismemberthename]

We're not gonna come to an agreement on this one, are we?

[helptilistop]

Sure we will! We just gotta convince you that you're as awesome as you actually are.

[dismemberthename]

Good- luck? I don't know if I should be wishing you luck with that.

[helptilistop]

Don't worry. I can tell it'll be worth it.

[ In the meantime, you get a gentle pat on the head. It's a bit of a reach, obviously, but he manages. ]

[dismemberthename]

[at least Shut Hell isn't nearly as tall as Sudoh's actual body, so he's still in reach at all.

seems. kind of startled, but doesn't stop the patting.]

...Okay.
