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. )

[thinking that over for a beat]

A falcon? Or a stag.

[taking a card, considering it before reading] Where do you see yourself in five years . . . ?

[plsbully]

Out of this place, ideally.

[ new card... ]




What sort of skills do you have that would help you survive a zombie apocalypse?

[starinhereye]

I can answer when I know what a zombie is. And after you actually answer my question.

[plsbully]

Zombies are the undead. Typically, shambling, grotesque corpses.

Did I not answer the question well enough?

[starinhereye]

That was a non-answer. You ask a hard question, I ask a hard question.

[plsbully]

I'm afraid I can't give a more definitive answer than that.

[starinhereye]

[no trace of gloating, genuinely pleased]

You managed to just now. Thanks.

I'm decent with a sword, and I can ride horseback. That should be enough for corpses.

[plsbully]

[ wow what is that ]

Hmph. A sword should do well enough to behead them.

[ .. a beat, looking at another card ]

What body part do you think would be the tastiest?

[starinhereye]

Wherever there's muscle that's used less. I'm not going to think any harder than that about it.

[picking a card . . . and putting it back, taking another]

Morning or night person?

[plsbully]

[ he laughs, raspy. ]

The night, by far. It's far easier to get things done at night.

[starinhereye]

Ominous . . .

Hm, we have time for one last question.

[plsbully]

[ his lips quirk ]

Who was your first crush?

[starinhereye]

[okay, he blushes]

I was thinking more along the lines of exchanging names. I don't have enough time to find another hard ball one for you.

[plsbully]

Avenger, then. And what is your name?

[starinhereye]

Zen. It's been nice meeting you.

[plsbully]

Mm, it's been a pleasure.
