Bonus Round 2: Tic-Tac-Toe
Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. There's a lot of text here, but if you read carefully and follow the instructions step by step, you will be okay.
RULES
Please refer to the first comment thread of this post for an example of how this round works.PROMPTING
- Select a ship to create your prompt card about. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Haruki & Kazuma). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Haruki/Kazuma). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
- Visit this card generator.
- Here is a visual guide to using it.
- The large text box is where you can list prompts if you have your own ideas. Please list at least 9 prompts; you can list more if you want. (The generator says you need at least 24, but it's lying.) Single words or short phrases are better than sentences.
- Otherwise, you can use the dropdown menu found right below it. Note: some of these prompts lists are NSFW. (NSFW prompts are a-ok as long as you tag for it.) If you don't like some of the options that appear in a prompt list, you can delete them.
- Text prompts only, please. Also, each card square must be unique—don't list the same prompt 9 times.
- In "Configuration Options," make sure you select 3x3 and (Normal prompt). This is the most important step!
- Leave the tic-tac-toe card with its default colors, so everyone can read it clearly.
- Click the "Create a bingo card" button.
- Scroll down to see the card that was created for you. If you don't like the prompts it picked, you can reroll by clicking "Create a bingo card" again.
- When you're satisfied, scroll further down the page until you see a textarea box full of HTML.
- Copy and paste the HTML from the box and into the body of your prompt comment, then post!
FILLING
Fill prompts by selecting an individual square to create fanwork for, then leaving a responding comment to the prompt with your newly-created work. (Optional:) If you can fill three squares from a prompt in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line, you get a tic-tac-toe (and an additional point bonus)! You can also just fill prompts as you please and get standard points.
- Prompt squares are labeled as follows:
A1 B1 C1 A2 B2 C2 A3 B3 C3 - If you're trying for tic-tac-toe, you cannot combine squares into one fill. If your fill can satisfy multiple squares, pick the most relevant square: e.g., one square is sailing and another is pirates and you make a fill about pirates sailing, it's mostly pirates so put down the pirates square.
- Each fill must stand alone as an individual piece, but all your fills can slot into a larger universe if you'd like.
- You cannot fill a prompt square more than once, but you can fill every square on a tic tac toe card if you want to.
- You cannot work with your teammates to get a tic-tac-toe. Only individually achieved tic-tac-toes get the bonus.
- Multiple people can fill the same prompt square. You cannot "block" others from getting tic-tac-toe.
- Remember to also follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
- Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

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 for each tic-tac-toe card (maximum of 50 prompt points per team per round)

Fills 5-10: 15 points each
Fills 11-20: 5 points each
Fills 21-50: 2 points each

Tic-tac-toe Bonus: 2 points each for the first 12 achieved by your team
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 (see the line of links below this post).Have a question? Check The FAQ first. If you still need help, feel free to contact the mods. Happy fanworking!

Square: Murasakibara at Kirisaki Daīchi
Word Count: 1014
***
Murasakibara is not a guy so easily led. There are tips and tricks to it, because he's not without temptation or weakness, but so far only a few have learned enough to exploit it, mostly because he won't allow anyone close enough to find out. It's better this way; they won't be disappointed to realize he really does hate everything he says he hates, and they won't disappoint him with their smothering emotions. Everyone turns out to be the same, even Aka-chin. He could say Aka-chin is the worst of them all, succumbing to another part of himself like that.
Still, he thinks he'd follow Aka-chin for as long as they know each other, and maybe even when they're strangers. That's who they are now, practically, with Teikou behind them and all their collective want for it to stay that way.
That is, until he meets Hanamiya Makoto.
-
He's received several recruitment offers, and nearly accepts one for a school up north (he's heard their cafeteria food is out of this world) until he's approached by someone who seems familiar, though he can't put his finger on it. Being told his name doesn't help.
"Don't remember me? I'm not surprised. You're all too full of yourselves to remember your opponents," says Hanamiya, though he doesn't seem offended at all.
Neither is Murasakibara, despite knowing shittalk when he hears it. "That's a sucky way of inviting me to your school. Bye." He loses interest quickly, and if this Hanamiya guy has nothing but insults for him, he'd rather have the nice-tasting food. He shoves past Hanamiya, but oddly enough the shove only makes Hanamiya laugh out loud.
"I knew it. You'd be perfect." Hanamiya doesn't specify for what, exactly. "How does the prospect of not being bored at basketball sound to you?"
Murasakibara stops. He pushes a chip into his mouth, contemplating it, before turning around.
"Mmkay. I'll listen to you."
-
He does more than listen, in the end.
He says yes.
-
Hana-chin may be malicious and conniving, but he keeps to his word and that's all Murasakibara needs. He's seamlessly woven into the intricacy of Hana-chin's web, his size and strength useful for Hana-chin's underhanded schemes. He's plied with snacks by the other members of his club, basketball isn't as boring as it used to be, so life was pretty good.
His former teammates aren't so happy with it.
Mido-chin refuses to play in their match, and Kuro-chin looks at him like he'll never forgive him after what Kirisaki Daiichi does to his team and Kiyoshi Teppei, who had insisted that Murasakibara remember his name. So demanding. He got what was coming to him.
Aka-chin, too, gives him a call, his disapproval nearly immobilizing even through the phone. Murasakibara almost succumbs, almost says, 'okay, I won't do it anymore,' but then Hana-chin motions to the phone, mouths, "who's that?" and Murasakibara is reminded of what he has to lose.
"Sorry, Aka-chin," he says, and hangs up.
-
They make it through to Winter Cup, however Hana-chin insists that actually winning is secondary to having fun. Murasakibara doesn't really get it, but he admits that what they've been doing is working for him so far, so he has no complaints. They breeze through their first matches, and sometimes Murasakibara isn't required to play, given how easy it's all been. Hana-chin gives him permission to leave his spot on the bench to check out the vending machine to satiate his cravings, but when he gets there there's a guy who seems to have gotten the last of the potato chips.
Murasakibara levels him with a stare, but the guy only holds up the bag with an inquisitive smile.
"Oh, did you want this?"
Murasakibara nods. The guy laughs—to himself? at Murasakibara? whatever—and thrusts the chips at Murasakibara's chest, and it doesn't seem to be because he's scared.
"Take it. My treat."
He goes to leave, and Murasakibara is too dumbstruck to speak, but he does manage to ask for the guy's name. He's treated to another smile, somehow more mysterious than before.
"Himuro Tatsuya."
-
They go up against Muro-chin's team next, and try as he might, Murasakibara's heart is no longer in it. His mind keeps flickering to the potato chips in his bag, and though Muro-chin is way too hot-blooded on court, Murasakibara feels his stomach churn at imagining that serious expression turn into one of pain. He's clearly the scoring power of Yosen, which is why he's the one Hana-chin's set his sights on.
At time out, the yelling begins.
"What the hell's your problem?" Hana-chin has never had to raise his voice at him before. It has the opposite intended effect: Murasakibara wants to crush him, now.
"I don't wanna," he says, simply, though he doesn't say why. Hana-chin glares at him like he knows exactly why.
"If we lose..."
"Then we lose."
"You were a fucking stupid investment," says Hana-chin, voice clipped and furious as he leads the team back on court. Murasakibara wonders if he'd made a mistake as he watches Hana-chin lose his cool, watches as the score swings in Yosen's favor, and wonders if he'd just ensured that his school life will be a living hell from here on.
He watches Muro-chin make his beautiful shot and decides it would suck more to never see it again.
-
"You're not like the rest of them," says Muro-chin later, when he chances upon Murasakibara after the match.
"Like how?" says Murasakibara, just to see him fumble with his words.
"You're not— you didn't try to—"
"You're wrong." Murasakibara thinks of all the basketball careers cut short because of him, of every crunch and snap of bone that Hana-chin orchestrated, of the bruises that bloom on guys' faces when he runs into them post-game. "I just didn't do it to you."
Muro-chin frowns at that, like he doesn't quite know how to take it.
"Well," he says, after a short while. He doesn't smile at Murasakibara this time, but he isn't frowning anymore either. "It's a start."
Re: FILL: TEAM HIMURO TATSUYA/NIJIMURA SHUUZOU, C3, T
wow wow wow wow wow WOW I love this! I don't read much Murasakibara (let's be real, I only finished KnB during BR1 of SASO so it's not like I've been reading much KnB at all) so it was really interesting to see how you write him!
they won't be disappointed to realize he really does hate everything he says he hates,
That line is gloriously sparse and incisive, getting right to the heart of what it means to never have people believe that you really are as bad as you are.
Also the deliberate ineloquence of 'nice-tasting food' because yes, of course that's Murasakibara, he isn't going to rhapsodize over it. Your third person narrative is TIGHT and fantastic.
MIDORIMA REFUSING TO PLAY. Of course he can't risk permanent injury but holy shit, his poor team being abandoned like that. And I'm wincing at poor Kuroko. AND POOR AKASHI. HE LOST HIS MOST LOYAL FOLLOWER.
