Bonus Round 5: Clue

[referees]

SASO 2017 is over, but this round is perpetually open to new fills (no new prompts).

Sometimes, all you need are a few little details to imagine something bigger. This round is inspired by a classic board game with a cast of colorful characters, but for SASO your only limits on "who", "where", and "with what" are what you can imagine (and the SASO fandom list, of course)!

This round closes on 5 August @ 7PM EDT. (Countdown Timer.)

Please read this whole post before commenting to ensure that your team gets the most points possible. (There are changes from last year!)

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post with the format of a Clue mystery - "[character] in the [location] with [item]", along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
  • Example: Sawamura Daichi in the teachers' lounge with the Hello Kitty! lunchbox
  • The person in your prompt MAY be a member of your ship, but is not REQUIRED to be part of your ship. They must still be a named character from a SASO-nominated fandom.
  • Your place must be a physical location, not a state of being or a state of being. However, this location is not required to be real, nor must it be from the same setting as the characters.
  • The "item" used must be a physical object that the character can hold or manipulate.
  • Unlike the board game, your prompt is NOT required to imply murder. The scenario implied can be anything at all! (As always, please tag properly!)
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Natsuo & Yuzuko). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Natsuo/Yuzuko). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your Clue-inspired fanwork.
• Remember to follow the general bonus round rules, outlined here.
• Here is a prompt/fill index for your convenience.

Posts not using this format will be understood to be unofficial discussion posts, regardless of what they contain. They, like all comments in this community, are subject to the code of conduct.

If you see anyone breaking the code of conduct (e.g., causing drama, being rude) anywhere (not just DW), please contact the mods immediately.

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 each (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
Fills 51+: 1 point 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 (see the line of links below this post).

FILL: Team Himuro Tatsuya/Nijimura Shuuzou, G

Shougo is sitting on the large tree that’s covering half the road. He’s always thought it kind of looks weird with its horizontal trunk thick enough to crack the skull of anyone bashing their head against it (who would do that? not him), and then it bends and reaches towards the sky, as if it’s keeping an eye on the island with its gigantic leaves. It has become the symbol of their island; a weird-ass tree that produces star-shaped yellow fruits. Since he was a kid Shougo kept hearing stories about the magical power this fruit had, or the healthy properties it apparently had, or the stupid legend about people being eternally bound if they eat it together. Shougo isn't the kind of guy who believes in that; this is more of Shintarou's genre and no way in hell that Shougo is going to associate with him. He's not insane.

He has a paopu fruit right now in his lap, though he isn't looking at it. He has to admit this tree is pretty nice to relax on and for admiring the view. The ocean is big and clear, the blue of the sky reflecting on it and illuminating the whole island with pretty colors. Yeah, he has to stop hanging out with Ryouta.

“Shougo-kun, do you want to come train with us?”

Shougo resists the urge to snap because whenever he spars with Daiki he somehow always makes a fool of himself, like tripping and getting hit in the face, and honestly he's sick of being on the receiving end of Ryouta's jokes and laughing. Somewhat.

“No, I don't want to hang out with you losers,” he says.

They've known each other for over ten years, so of course Ryouta doesn't take offense and laughs. He climbs on the trunk and sits next to him, as usual invading his personal space like it didn't exist for a reason, and looks at him with fucking sparkling eyes.

“You're going to come anyway.”

He says this on such a confident tone that Shougo feels exposed and naked under his gaze. There's nothing provocative, just a raw statement and the distinct belief that it can't go wrong.

“I'm coming just to see you getting your ass handed to you,” Shougo replies, looking away.

This brings a grin on Ryouta's face, the kind that promises mischief, blossoming under the right circumstances.

“I haven't eaten something sweet in a while, so I'll buy you paopu cake if I lose, but if I win you buy me paopu cake!”

Ryouta then hops over the tree and goes back to the beach. Shougo rolls his eyes, puts down the paopu fruit on the tree, and follows Ryouta.

Ryouta could have as well told him he wanted to eat the fruit.
