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. )

Why would I fantasize about something dirty?

[???]

My fantasies are typically about painting, and there is very little in them that I would consider dirty.

[lacrimose]

Okay.

[Yikes, he's serious. Quickly moving on before he asks about Akira's fantasies...]

You're an artist, then?

[artisticliberty]

Yes, I am. It is my life's passion.

[lacrimose]

Huh. [He cracks a smile, at that.] I'd ask you to draw something, but I guess we don't have time.

[artisticliberty]

I also do not simply draw by request. But there is something I have begun working on since I've arrived... perhaps you will see it soon.

[lacrimose]

Really? I'll look forward to it.

[artisticliberty]

Hmhmhm... what is your name?

[lacrimose]

Akira Fudo. And you?

[artisticliberty]

Kitagawa Yusuke. So you are the other Akira.

[lacrimose]

Yeah. Maybe we should have a nickname to tell us apart, like Miki and Miko...

[artisticliberty]

He has a nickname that's being used currently, so that much is taken care of. But perhaps you can choose one, as well.

[lacrimose]

Can you think of something good?

[Artists are creative at naming things, right...]

[artisticliberty]

First, I would need to know more about you to come up with one.

[lacrimose]

Ah, that's true. I guess we'll get the chance to hang out more later, since they seem to want us all to spend time together.

[artisticliberty]

We can use the opportunity now, of course.

[flips a new card]

"Is there anything you would change about yourself?"

[lacrimose]

[Shakes his head.]

I already changed a lot, recently, and I'm still adjusting. Changing again probably wouldn't be a good thing.

[artisticliberty]

I feel much the same way about myself. I have experienced a great change recently, as well, and even though I am still very much a flawed individual, I know what sort of person I am. That knowledge gives me strength.
