Trash Squad Day 1 - SPEED DATING
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. )

SUBMIT YOUR HOT OR NOTS HERE by Thursday, 6pm PST!

And yeah, aside from these [and he'll wave one of the offending cards in the air] everyone here has been pretty nice. Has everyone been treating you well?
[Because there will be some Words With People if not.]
no subject
Y-yes! Everyone's been very nice! I had a g-great talk about blood types, and t-talked about crime scenes and kidnapping... [Um.] But, um, what about you, Hinata-san? Have you m-met anyone you might like?
no subject
[That will definitely solve the issue, right?]
...The questions you had to talk about honestly sound a lot scarier than Komaeda could ever be. I'm sorry these cards are so weird. [Blood and kidnapping, Jesus. Somebody save her.] I'm glad you're having a good time, though.
[The question makes him dart his gaze away. It's honestly been nice to meet everybody, but the idea of dating them... It makes his face turn red.]
...Maybe. I'm still not completely sure.
[He might be a little more sure than that, actually, but it's too embarrassing to say.]
no subject
She's not entirely sure that informing Hinata that she liked answering those questions would be a good idea but--] N-no, it's alright! I got to talk a lot about blood transfusions and other important medical things... I-I had a lot of fun! A-and people were actually i-interested!
[Still that 'maybe' is a bit concerning and she watches his face a moment] Um, well... I'm sure there are plenty of people that want to pick you! Like I said, you'll go far, I-I'm sure of it! Still, five minutes doesn't see at all long enough to d-decide things like this...
no subject
[Hinata knows there's things Tsumiki is saying that he should be paying attention to. Things he should be responding to, but he's just... stuck on that first bit.
Did she mean... us, as in everybody, or... Me and her...
He swallows hard, able to feel the heat on his face. That's probably Bad.]
I still think I'd be a pretty boring date... [He trails off with nervous laughter. Hinata knows he's doing a bad job of covering up his flustered feelings when it's plastered all over his face, but he's gotta try his best.] And it's- definitely hard to get to know everybody in such a short time, ha...
[A short breath. Just a pause to get himself in order, because... In spite of how much of a jumbled mess he feels like right this moment, he's really happy about what he's about to say.]
But... I'm really glad you got to talk with everyone about things you like. It figures you'd be able to turn questions like those into important things. [He nods, feeling a little bit more at ease as he says it. He has a lot of beef with this place, but it doesn't feel quite as bad if Tsumiki can relax a little with the people here.] And... I knew it. I knew that if you talked with everybody, they'd see how great you are.
[The nerves come back, just a bit. Something squirms in his stomach at the thought of asking - something that Hinata doesn't really want to acknowledge - but he knows it's the right thing to do as a friend.]
...How about you, though? Is there anybody that... you'd like to date here?
no subject
She gets flustered in response, mumbling a protest of 'I'm not that great--!' as she twists her hands anxiously. Hinata is a much better person than she is, in so many ways; not even just this version of him that didn't seem to know or understand the killing games. She could still see traces of his old self--true self? The one she knows?--in little things he said or did. It helped, a little, even if it was strange to also simultaneously think of hi as a separate person.
Time lines stuff is weird.
The question definitely catches her off guard though and she stares wide-eyed a moment. under normal circumstances she might've immediately blurted out something like 'Hinata-san is of course the one I want to date!' in an effort to please him, but she finds the words sticking to her mouth.]
I-I-I... [Mikan's face begins to turn red and her eyes dart from him to the floor and the walls, back to him and then the walls again.] I c-can... think of someone... B-but I don't know...
Um. Hinata-san! [But now that she's spoken up she doesn't know what to say, gripping her hands together tightly.] Hinata-san... I-I hope we, um... [No she can't quite bring herself to say anything in so many words, so instead she goes with:] I-I hope we can spend lots of time together
