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)
For fills:First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
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!

Here's the thing.
There's not one part of Tatsuya that isn't suited to becoming a jaeger pilot. He has strength in spades, has the guts, has the determination, has the ability to think on his feet out on the field. They call it battle sense; he calls it instinct, honed from picking too many fights when he was younger with bigger kids. It doesn't show on his face so people have a hard time believing it, but he can take a punch and can definitely retaliate with a stronger one. But this is the 21st century, and more than the part of him that's a soldier, Tatsuya has it in him to perform as a celebrity too. He has the features for it, camera-ready at every opportunity, and he has the charm and the right answers to fend interviews off or reel them in for a better scoop. It's not why he enlisted, far from it, but he thinks it an amusing perk to be gifted an action figure of himself at a celebration honoring the anniversary of their first victory.
So Tatsuya has no problem with the socializing, the drinking, the laughing on cue, but here's the kicker: Shuuzou does.
They're partners, and technically this is for both of them so they should be standing here, together, suffering and enjoying the attention in equal measure, but the second Tatsuya turns his back to pose for a picture, Shuuzou seems to vanish in the flash. It takes half an hour to extract himself from the festivities, and a good quarter hour to actually find where Shuuzou's run off to, but he turns out to be in the most obvious place, so obvious Tatsuya didn't think to look there first.
Tatsuya, from several stories up, sees him on the ground floor, propped up against the foot of their jaeger, either nursing a drink or trying to fall asleep. The scenario isn't particularly romantic, but still Tatsuya is reminded of a balcony and a leading man too busy napping to perform his part.
"Romeo, Romeo," he calls out, trying not to laugh and failing, "wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
Shuuzo rises to attention, his characteristic glare somehow still working from so far away. "Go back inside, Tatsuya." His drunk voice reverberates (the Shatterdome has excellent acoustics) and Tatsuya is struck with the need to hear it quieter, up close.
"I don't think I will," he sing-songs, already withdrawing from where he is. "Stay there. I'm coming down." Not that he thinks Shuuzuo is going anywhere, in that state of his.
When he's finally on the ground floor too, Shuuzou seems more awake, powered by righteous anger or something similar. "What're you doing? It's your party."
"It's our party," corrects Tatsuya, swiping the bottle from Shuuzou's hands and taking a swig as he sits beside him. "Felt kind of pointless without you, Shuu."
Shuuzou makes a noise that sounds suspiciously like 'tch,' like he's from an anime or something. "You know that's not my scene." Even in the dim lighting, he's flushed past the collar of shirt. Tatsuya can't be certain if it's just the alcohol's doing, which is why he keeps his hands to himself, stopping them from wandering over to Shuuzou's jaw to tilt his face towards him, or — somewhere more dangerous.
"I know," he says, leaning against Shuuzou's shoulder instead, not wholly comfortable but snug enough. "That's why I'm here."
Shuuzou makes the noise again; Tatsuya laughs, again, and hands the bottle back to him. It's no grand celebration, and there no crowds or congratulations, but Tatsuya prefers it like this, right here, the two of them alone in the relative darkness and the near-silence, pretending they're in the Drift.
(Neither of them speak anymore, like they're reading each other's minds, so maybe they already are, so that's good enough for him.)
