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. )

You do not change? [ are you a peasant......... i mean-- ] Though in my case I have a selection of white nightgowns that are quite comfortable.

You are free to take another card as well, if you would like.

[dismemberthename]

These are my only clothes.

[so i mean

very much so.]

All right, let's see.

"What's your favorite blood type?"

[assent]

Even here?

[ They've all been to the dorms by now, right? Surely??? ]

I admit I am not too familiar with the concepts of personality judged via blood type. That is the Japanese way of matching couples together, is it not?

[ She taps her lip. ]

I am afraid I cannot answer without uncertainty of whether I remember correctly. I apologise. [ She's read about it but... ah. ]

"What is your favorite thing to learn about in your free time?"

[dismemberthename]

[he has not been to his room because this is who he is as a person]

Don't worry about it, I was never particularly into the blood type thing.

[shrugs idly]

But, um. I like making things with my hands.

[assent]

[ Ah... one of the lucky few to not be involved in the condom craziness then, hopefully?????? ]

It is a rather strange analogy, is it not? The stars having a significance actually seems more understandable when it comes to that. [ She pauses to listen to him, looking curious. ] What types of things do you make?

[dismemberthename]

[his condom is safe and sound.]

Instruments and tools. Mostly I carve things out of wood.

[assent]

[ Well, that catches her interest. ]

I wonder if you would be able to acquire the materials here? It would be rather wonderful to view sometime. [ Has she seen anything in the world... very little tbh. ]

[dismemberthename]

I'll let you know if I find anything, how does that sound?

[assent]

Perfecto, thank you very much! I appreciate it.

[dismemberthename]

No problem, no problem.

[takes another card]

"What are you most proud about?"

[assent]

[ She looks thoughtful. ]

I believe I have had this card before, so I will repeat my answer from then as well. While it would be more appropriate for me to say my country or my people... I would have to say my friends. We were working together to complete tasks which is something I have never been able to experience before.

[dismemberthename]

Sounds like you've got a good thing going on there. I'm glad for you.

[assent]

It is a new experience for me so I am truly grateful. [ She goes to turn over a card next. ] “What do you do to de-stress?”

[dismemberthename]

[historically, ill advised banging of enemies and setting things on fire]

Hmm. I try to work off the energy with exercise. Either just by traveling or by working out one way or another.

[assent]

[ Sudoh please those are not good options... ]

Of course! Exercise is a good means to relieve tension but to also produce endorphins.

[dismemberthename]

[he's made worse decisions in his life]

Right!

[assent]

[ Please don't get stressed here?! ]

It is a shame there is no way of getting fresh air in here. It would be difficult to do exercise with stale air.

[dismemberthename]

[well if nobody he loves gets killed here that won't be a problem now will it]

Yeah... Well, hopefully romance won't be too stressful.

[assent]

[ Well thankfully there's a rule against that. ]

I cannot say I have the same confidence. [ She is yoloing p hard. ] I presume you have dated before?

[dismemberthename]

[yeah see things will be just fine.]

Haha, no. I brought flowers to a girl I liked once, and we got into a fight the next day and never spoke again. Pretty sure that doesn't count.

[assent]

¡Que terrible! You must have been upset when that happened. I am truly very sorry for making you remember it.

[ She sounds distressed, eyes closing tight as she frowns and tries to apologise properly for it. ]

[dismemberthename]

Ah, it's fine, it's fine. Don't worry about it.

[and there goes the bullhorn]

[assent]

Well, I cannot say I have even attemp-- [ Yup, there gots the bullhorn. ] Ah...! My apologies... This wasn't much of a conversation was it?

[ Her being excited over him making stuff then feeling bad for his rejection--oops. ] Still, thank you for your time.

[dismemberthename]

That's all right. We can always talk more later. See you around!
