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. )

Must be nice.

[a bitter smile.]

[loveisanopenseal]

It might be nice or it might not be. It is hard to say.

But I can say I have a deep admiration for those who are faced with challenges on a daily basis.

[dismemberthename]

That's... a little off-putting, honestly.

[loveisanopenseal]

Is it? How so?

[dismemberthename]

I can't really imagine someone not being challenged in day to day life.

[loveisanopenseal]

I see. Most people are often faced with challenges daily. I can understand what you are saying now.

But when you are impossibly strong, many things become easy for you.

[dismemberthename]

See, that's why it's off-putting. Now I know for sure you're strong enough that you experience life in a totally different way. It's pretty cool, but you're kind of giving off an "outsider looking in" sort of feeling.

[This is funny because his title is the ultimate outsider]

[loveisanopenseal]

You are very observant. How impressive. I would say that is an accurate depiction of who I am now and who I was before, but I am not certain of who I will be in the future.

[dismemberthename]

Mm. That's true. People change.

[loveisanopenseal]

Yes.

[A small fond smile?!]

And through such challenges and change, you can learn more about who you are.

[dismemberthename]

...Is that what you want?

[loveisanopenseal]

...yes.

[dismemberthename]

Then, good luck.

[loveisanopenseal]

I appreciate your well wishes. My name is Elizabeth.

[dismemberthename]

I'm Sudoh. Nice to meet you, Elizabeth.

[loveisanopenseal]

[A BUZZER RINGS]

It seems our time has passed by so quickly. Let us meet again, Sudoh.

[dismemberthename]

Right. I'll see you later, Elizabeth.
