sportsanime | Bonus Round 3: Gift Tags

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.

no tags, improper punctuation, no caps, unedited rambling basically

i feel so attacked by your prompts so /SHOVES THIS AT YOU

--

the request is accepted, and after much back and forth, after thousands and thousand of games, sai finally manages to pull ahead in wins

he's super happy, but then bright glowing lights start appearing and he realizes that the god of go is disappearing?! he starts panicking, but then the god of go smiles and tells him that there can only be one god of go, and that sai is the next successor to the name

sai is super sad and frantically asks why they can't both continue to play together, but the former god of go only shakes his head. he says he's glad and greatly enjoyed their many games (aka the ceremony for passing on the mantle) and that now it's his time to reincarnate back into the world while sai is the one to watch over all go players

but before the shift officially happens, sai is allowed a single visit to a person of his choosing via their dreams, his final chance to say goodbye to the world below before he has to take up the duties of the god of go. b/c reasons, he can't directly communicate w/ anyone in the living world once becoming the god of go, so

the former god of go is pretty much almost gone by now, and sai is crying but this is how things are and it's out of his control, so he finally nods, thanks the disappearing god for the wonderful games, closes his eyes and chooses, and the magic that makes the world and gods and everything go around does its thing

he feels himself being pulled down, down, down...

tbc under your other prompt YOU KNOW THE ONE (ง’̀-‘́)ง

I'M BOTH LAUGHING AT "b/c reasons" AND CRYING AT EVERYTHING ELSE WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONCE HE WINS A GAME HE'S GONNA BE ALONE AGAIN GDI
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALL HE GETS IS ONE VISIT IN A DREAM

FUCK THIS TBH i'm gonna go read part 2 now

i can't believe you took one of my happy prompts and made it sad, i definitely deserve it

"b/c reasons" is the summation of why i don't write lol
>why is this happening what is the context?? well, we just don't know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i'm only a little sorry, but mostly not, b/c *points to your other prompt*
