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.

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.

"What did I tell you, Haru?!???"

"Sorry." Haru says, but he doesn't sound very sorry at all. Makoto groans, dragging his hand down his face, because he did not want to spend another morning talking to Haru through the grates of a holding cell.

Yes, another.

"You can't just go stripping around Tokyo. You know that." Haru looks away, and Makoto doesn't know what else he can do, or say at this point. They've had this conversation more times than Makoto would like to admit, and he's really not sure he's comfortable dealing with the fact that the person he shared his first kiss with over ice cream at five might be gaining a criminal record. It's a miracle the university's never been contacted about it, mostly because Makoto knows how to move fast and keep a few extra yen tucked away for emergencies. The last thing Makoto wants is to find out that Haru's been thrown off the team because he was caught stripping and jumping into a fountain in broad daylight. Who knows what that would do to him?

Haru's parents haven't even found out about it, and Makoto thanks his lucky stars about it - he would be even more at a loss if suddenly Haru's parents didn't think Makoto was taking care of their son right.

(Then again, he gets the sickening feeling they'd understand completely and laugh it off.)

"It was hot out, and I was still wearing my suit you know."

"The weather doesn't make stripping okay!" Makoto shouts, instantly feeling bad about it for the way Haru jumps and gives him that nervous look. "I'm sorry, but it's true. Not everyone can tell you're wearing anything in the dark, especially when you move so fast."

Haru looks down at his feet, lips pressed together tight. The telltale lines of nerves and guilt are there, and Makoto wishes there was a way to ease them out of his frame without ruining the fact he's supposed to be learning a lesson about not being a public nudity menace. "I know."

"We can work on it." Makoto says, because he knows how hard it is to kick old habits. "Together we can figure something out, just like we have been in Tokyo, right?"

The special shimmer of blue comes across Haru's eyes, followed by a nod, and Makoto knows it's as good as any promise.

"But seriously Haru," Makoto chuckles, crossing his arms. "Next time you get thrown into jail, I'm telling Rin all about it."

Haru chokes around nothing.
