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).

Kise's trying, he really is.

***

Kuroko liked Sundays. They were the one day a week when he could sleep in, and when he had nothing to do. It was a wonderful feeling to be able to lie in bed for as long as he wanted, and take his time making breakfast when he finally did decide to get up.

This week, Kise had slept over after staying late for dinner, and Kuroko had enjoyed falling asleep with his boyfriend curled up next to him.

Except now the bed was empty and cold, and it was still far too early to be awake in Kuroko's opinion. He wasn't even sure why he had woken up at first, but then his brain finally came online enough to register the rather unpleasant smell slowly filling the room.

Kuroko groaned and climbed out of bed. "Kise-kun," he called as he stumbled into the kitchen, "I think something's wrong."

Kise was standing next to the stove with a frying pan that was billowing alarming amounts of smoke. He looked up with an expression of more than a little bit of panic.

"Kurokocchi!!!" Kise wailed. "I just wanted to surprise you with breakfast! I don't know what went wrong."

Kuroko scrubbed a hand over his eyes and switched the burner off. "Eggs don't cook on high, Kise-kun. You'll burn them."

"I didn't know they'd be so hard! It always looks so easy on TV."

"Have you never made eggs before, Kise-kun?"

"No," Kise said with a pout. "But someone's banned me from making almost everything else at some point, and I didn't think it would be that hard. I just wanted a nice breakfast for you when you woke up."

"I'm up now," Kuroko pointed out. "Why don't you just make toast."

Kise shook his head. "Akashicchi banned me from using toasters after I set of the fire alarm in his place last year."

Kuroko tried to avoid letting too obvious a reaction slip out. "I see," he said. "Why don't we make something together then. I'm sure it would be okay if someone else is helping you, right?"

"I guess," Kise replied. "Sorry to wake you up."

"It's okay, Kise-kun. I think there's still some bread left by the microwave, and there are the apples you brought yesterday. We can slice them up with some cinnamon and have them with toast. I think I still have some of the jam Murasakibara-kun made for New Year's left in the fridge as well."

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Let's just say Kise has had some...kitchen adventures in the past. He means well, but his execution doesn't always work as well as his intentions. He's such a sweetheart though Kuroko can't help but be charmed.
