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)

it's not like he hasn't thought about the life they're living before. it's hard to avoid thinking about, actually.
the world has become a ruined, desolate wasteland. polluted and wrecked beyond repair, probably. where it's not war torn from humanity fighting each other for what little territory's left to gain, where they're not harming each other for what little basic resources are left, it's covered with the infected--humans who have transformed into anything but that from the virus that runs rampant across the globe. they're the more dangerous of threats because they have the ability to turn surviving humans into monsters as well.
but sometimes, hajime thinks that there's a fine and blurred line between humanity that's left and the infected.
happiness isn't something that's easy to come by. not here. not when it's do or die, not when they have to keep running in order to survive, but...
he thinks that with tooru by his side, with him no matter the circumstances, that might be happiness. waking up each morning still together, reassuring touches, pulling each other through the bad, celebrating the momentary good, having his hand to hold...
that's definitely happiness. those are the only times hajime doesn't feel trapped, doesn't feel hopeless.
the old abandoned room in a high floor of what remains in a city they're passing through? that's not home. barricading the door and not being able to sleep curled up together and at the same time because even with a barricade, someone needs to keep watch and stay alert? that isn't home either.
but this--tooru waking up from where he'd fallen asleep with his head in hajime's lap, eyes bleary and hair tousled as he looks up at hajime, smiles, vulnerable and soft before they've got to be battle-hardened, prepared for anything warriors again--this might be home.
early morning sunlight peeks in through a gap in the boarded up window, a light, almost ethereal glow in the once dark room.
"is it my turn to take watch?" tooru asks, rubbing his hand over his eyes. but he doesn't sit yet, still lies there. he'd fallen asleep with hajime's hand stroking his hair, and has woken up to the same--his fingertips brushing over his scalp. hajime can't remember when in the night he stopped or picked it back up again, can't remember if he ever did.
he shakes his head. "i can stay awake longer. go back to sleep."
they only arrived in this place a few hours ago. travelling at night is dangerous--that's when the infected and other predators are more likely to strike--but sometimes, if they're in the middle of nowhere in the early evening, it can't be avoided and they just have to be careful.
"so generous, iwa-chan." tooru lets out a small laugh, and sits this time, taking a hold of hajime's hand. "but you need to sleep, too."
he doesn't like to admit that sometimes he can't, that sometimes he doesn't want to. but knows he has to try. if they're to be at their best when they decide to move again, they need to be well-rested.
and he always feels a little safer sleeping knowing tooru's by his side, anyway.
"don't whine about being tired later, then," he says, but lets tooru push his shoulder and settles as comfortably as he can, head resting on his thigh. "because i gave you the opportunity to."
"okay, okay." he smiles, and hajime knows he smiles back too, hand curling in tooru's jacket as he pulls him down and kisses him. a goodnight... or really, a good morning, since night has ended.
"not more than a few hours," he says, when they pull apart and he settles down again. they'll have to leave here soon.
tooru gives an affirmative hum, his hand resting in hajime's hair now, roles reversed, like they usually do when they switch places to sleep. "get some sleep, iwa-chan. don't want you to drag us down later because you're tired."
he snorts. "as if, dumbass." but he listens, shutting his eyes as he turns over.
this place isn't home. they don't have a permanent place or house they can call that. but tooru--no matter where he is with tooru, no matter if it's good or bad--that's home. that will always be home in this life they've built together.
