Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags

[referees]

Feeling generous? In this round, you get to give creative gifts as prompts.

This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on July 7 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Submit prompts as a gift tag in the format below. You can specify the size and a characteristic of the gift, who the sender is, who the recipient is, and a one or two sentence note from the sender to the recipient. Descriptions of the package and the included note don’t have to be explicit, see below.
• Package: medium sized cube, rattles
  From: Kageyama Tobio
  To: Hinata Shouyou
  Note: These will help you get better.
• Envelope: manila, 12''x17'', very thick and heavy
  From: Tezuka Kunimitsu
  To: Kinjou Shingo
  Note: Enclosed - Play without regrets!
• Your prompt MUST include a relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Riko & Momoi). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Riko/Momoi). Please don't say "Any pairing," either.
• Fill prompts by leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. Fillers can get creative with how to interpret the prompt: your fill can be about the character receiving the gift, one or both characters using the gift, what prompted the sender to send the gift—the physical gift itself can even be excluded from your fill. What’s important is that the gift tag is clearly the inspiration for your fill.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.

SCORING

These numbers apply to your team as a whole, not each individual teammate. Make as many prompts/fills as you want!

For prompts: 5 points each (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

For fills:

First 3 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 4-10: 10 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21+: 2 points each

All scored content must be created new for this round.

Etc.

If you're hunting through the prompts looking for what to fill, a good trick is to view top-level comments only.

Nico holds the heavy key chain, clearly handmade, in her hands.
"I charged it, you know?" Nozomi points out, her voice playful and soft, with that cadence that is just /hers/. She is so proud, as she taps with her finger the carefully carved wood, the colourful strings wrapped around it that barely cover the- kanji? runes? whatever it is she has written all over it.
"Fully charged of spiritual power to make sure its owner is protected, lucky, happy."

All the emphasis she puts on the key chain, and yet Nico can't help but stare at the simple piece of metal attached to it. A single apartment key.

Maybe Nozomi is embarrassed. If she is, she sure doesn't show it. Or maybe she does in the way she dismisses the real present and focuses on the key chain, in the way her voice is slightly louder than usual -Nico, of all people, would notice-, in the way she fidgets with her hands, moving them as she talks.

Nico is quiet. And then she starts crying, pressing both her hands on her face.

It takes Nozomi a few seconds to understand just what clicked in her girlfriend's brain, what kind of reaction is that, so sudden. But then she smiles one of her smiles, and laughs as she holds Nico in her arms and kisses her hair.



"Yes you are!" and Nozomi laughs again, kisses Nico's hands, thinks about a future where they'll be calling the apartment that single key opens "theirs".

Maybe it's not that far away, in the end.
