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. )

That sounds right to me.

[loveisanopenseal]

Ah, then we do agree. Marvelous.

[motorcycle_noises]

We do agree.

[ There's a ghost of a smile on his lips. ]

My name is Tatsuya. And you are...?

[loveisanopenseal]

My name is Elizabeth. It is a pleasure to meet you.

[motorcycle_noises]

It's nice to meet you, too.

[loveisanopenseal]

I believe it is my turn to ask a question.

[the card is:]

"If you had to lose a body part, what would it be?"

[motorcycle_noises]

I'd rather not get rid of any of them.

[ Tatsuya pulls a zippo out of his pocket and flicks it open and shut.  ]

But if I had to...? Probably one of my ears.

[loveisanopenseal]

A logical choice. It isn't as if your hearing would be permanently impaired, and even if it was, there are accommodations that could be made.

Replacing something such as a heart would be quite difficult.

[motorcycle_noises]

Yeah, that's my thinking. It's be a pain, but nothing that couldn't be handled.

Besides, I like my heart where it is.

[loveisanopenseal]

Is there anything else you would like to ask?

[motorcycle_noises]

[ Tatsuya flips a card over.  ]

"How do you define love?"

[loveisanopenseal]

[oh.]

How would I define love? Hm . . .

[it isn't that she looks distressed, but she is a little surprised.]

I am not sure if I can be someone who describes it well, but . . . it seems to be something so complex, but also sometimes very simple? But you are left with this . . . fulfilled feeling.

[motorcycle_noises]

I think "love" is something that is different for everyone. I like your definition.

[loveisanopenseal]

Yes, I would not be surprised if that was the case . . .

[BZZZ]

It seems our time is already up. How disappointing. It was quite enjoyable.

[motorcycle_noises]

I'm glad I got to talk to you. Until later, Elizabeth-san.
