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. )

[Smugness stays at a constant level.]

I knew it wouldn't be that easy. You'd be surprised by the lengths these robotic animals go to for the sake of containment.

[lacrimose]

Have you been here before, too?

[justpure]

No, but I have been in a similar situation. You haven't heard of Monokuma yet, have you?

[lacrimose]

[Shakes his head.] Is it some kind of bear?

[justpure]

Think of him as a sinister teddy bear with a similar fur pattern as the chinchillas... That explicitly wishes to see the world burn.

[lacrimose]

But they have nothing to do with demons, either? I still find that hard to believe...

[justpure]

Of course not.

But now that you mention it, I wonder if you have these things confused with tsukumogami? That is, an object that became a yokai after existing for 100 years.

[lacrimose]

[He shrugs, not really willing to elaborate on his knowledge of demons.]

If they're really just robot animals, doesn't that mean someone made them? Are they controlling them?

[justpure]

[Moving on then.]

Most likely, but at this point it's impossible to tell who is responsible for this.
