Bonus Round 5: Clue

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)!
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.

Kagami is flipping his lighter open and close, watching this group of people huddled around a small table. He is supposed to make sure they do what they're told, but given how grave their expressions are and how cold the atmosphere is, he doubts his presence is required.
Kuroko is loading the gun. He places one bullet, spins the cylinder, and snaps it close. He is looking as disinterested as ever, eyes not even flickering with an ounce of fear.
The others are showing more emotions, though they look just as dispassionate and calm as Kuroko. Kagami doesn't understand.
"One bullet, one death," Kuroko announces. "This is your punishment. You can't run away from it."
"You already made it pretty clear this morning," Aomine mutters.
"I'm not happy with this situation, but I guess we saw it coming," Kise says with a humorless laugh.
"We are not going to subtract ourselves from this predicament," Akashi asserts with a firm voice. "I am going first."
Akashi takes the gun. Kagami watches as everyone follows every single move Akashi makes with bated breath--if the gun fires the bullet, it will become the most anticlimactic Russian roulette he's ever seen.
Nobody seems worried. They look as if they know Akashi will escape death. Midorima is looking particularly confident.
Akashi puts the gun to his temple, and pulls the trigger. The distinct click makes everyone suddenly flinch, but when no blood is spilled, they regain their composure. Kagami has stopped playing with his lighter, more interested in what is unfolding before his eyes. One of them is going to die because of a mistake they did as a group; no need to get rid of so many people at once if they can break them little by little.
Akashi puts down the gun on the table, and Kuroko nods in approval. He then hands it to the nearest person, Murasakibara. That giant is someone Kagami has never understood, so when the gun is carelessly taken from Kuroko's hand and directly firing into the temple without prior hesitation, Kagami is only half surprised. Muraskibara shrugs.
He gives it next to Aomine. Aomine, who moments before was showing some kind of resignation, is now looking mischievous. He spins the weapon in his hand.
"Hey Testu? Thanks for trusting us."
Kagami blinks.
"Of course."
Aomine grins, gives them all one last look (they all return it), and he fires.
Kagami watches as Aomine's brain splatters on the floor while the blood taints everything nearby, including the faces of Kise and Midorima who were standing close, and when the body hits the ground the spell is broken.
"Aomine Daiki has lost the game," Kuroko declares as he takes back the gun from Aomine's hand. "The Miracles are now down to four members. Last part of your punishment: dispose of the body."
Akashi steps forward and motions for the others to follow. Muraskibara and Midorima wordlessly carry Aomine's body. Kise passes by Kagami, and gives him a crooked smile.
"His decision."
And then the Miracles exit the room, leaving behind Kuroko and Kagami. Kagami swallows.
"You set it up?"
"It had to look real," Kuroko replies. "Death is freedom."
Kagami isn't sure.
