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.

Bonus round shenanigans all happen in the comments below. Brand-new works only, please.Required Work Minimums:

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)

i.
Gluttony wakes up and immediately feels two things, though he supposes that they can be one and the same.
First, he feels the urge to fulfill his purpose: to embody the vice that is assigned to him, and to make Father proud.
And second? He feels the hunger, belly and bone-deep, residing in the recesses of his marrow. He's not human, this he knows rationally, but vices don't make for rational creatures and he thinks that if he doesn't eat, he might die.
Homunculus may subsist on philosopher's stones, but philosopher's stones taste like nothing at all, and that just won't do.
ii.
He doesn't think he was really created to feel more than those two initial things, but all creations have a tendency to rebel against their creators, even just a little bit. Father allows it, since it doesn't seem like it would get in the way of what he needs to do. Maybe it even helps his cause; Gluttony can't be sure, and he has long stopped trying to parse the machinations of Father's mind.
What he can be sure of is that what he feels for Lust isn't a standard homunculus emotion, but he has his reasons.
Lust has his way of getting what he wants, after all, and Gluttony's affections seem to fit neatly into his plan. There's nothing too grandiose there, nothing that would upset Father's design, but there's a selfishness in Lust that Gluttony sees right through.
That's all right, though; they can be selfish together.
iii.
There are many answers he can give for why he likes Lust—he's looks nice, and tastes just as nice—but mostly it's because of the way he spoils Gluttony, though it can also be taken as him stringing Gluttony along.
"I want that one, Lust," Gluttony would say, pointing at a man in the crowd that has just the right amount of fat and muscle. And Lust would smile, would reach up to twirl a lock of Gluttony's long hair in his fingers, and reply, "you got it."
Then he would go up to the aforementioned man, and later on, lead him somewhere secluded, where Gluttony can feast in peace and quiet as Lust looked on.
Maybe Gluttony's mistaken, but Lust would almost look fond.
iv.
Others might mistake Lust's longing to be something more into a desire to be human, but Gluttony knows better. Lust wants to be above humankind, to surpass them even more than he already has by virtue of being created. Gluttony supposes that just as Lust inspires want in others, he has wants of his own that aren't rational either.
Like when he'd pull Gluttony in by the hair for kisses, or lead Gluttony's hands down his firm, warm body.
"You want this too, don't you?"
Gluttony thinks of the things he wants (food, approval) and wonders when, exactly, than Lust factored in beside those two things.
"I'm hungry," would be his reply, to which Lust would laugh, and let him eat.
v.
When Lust dies, it's when Gluttony isn't there. Gluttony isn't as haughty to think it wouldn't have happened if he had been—maybe he would've died too, and it might be preferable to this—but beside the grief sits regret anyway, seeming to swallow him whole.
"That colonel will pay," he says, amidst the snot and tears, as he feels a fourth kind of hunger unfurl from inside him. Lust would approve, he thinks. Lust has always wanted them, all of them, to aim higher than where they are.
Because when Gluttony tastes it, he's certain no meat will compare to revenge.

i.
It lands on Atsushi's lap quite literally, after he mistakenly tears open a bag of chips too roughly, resulting in its contents exploding all over the place. An upsetting phenomenon, but nothing new, and he resigns himself to picking up every single individual chip until he notices a small stopwatch-like thing amidst it all. On the outside of the bag, a surprise inside is advertised, maybe as some new marketing scheme by the company. Atsushi had expected a toy of some kind, which would least be cuter and more entertaining than whatever this is.
Still, he pockets it instead of throwing it away.
ii.
Muro-chin dies, senselessly, one sunlit, snowy Tuesday morning. It hadn't even been anything cool like he would've wanted; just an ordinary accident, a car skidding across the frozen road and hitting a passing student. Just like that, Muro-chin turns into a statistic, instead of being a basketball captain, a campus heartthrob, or Atsushi's companion.
Not that Atsushi has anywhere to go, or anywhere he wants to go without Muro-chin there. He had tried, the first few weeks, to visit all the usual places he visited before he met Muro-chin, but they no longer held the same appeal without Muro-chin's annoying presence. Not even the candy shops, which must rank as Muro-chin's worst crime.
So he stays in his room, forgoing basketball practice to stare at nothing. When his snacks run out and he feels too heavy to move, he stretches his arm to fiddle with whatever's in reach, to give his hands something to do. In this case, it's the stopwatch from the chips bag.
He turns it over in his hand, smoothing his thumb over the glass, and tweaks the knob at the side.
Suddenly, he's not in his room anymore. He's in the corridors, while the scenery outside is sunlit and snowy, and Muro-chin is there, walking beside Atsushi, whole and alive.
iii.
Muro-chin dies a second time—at the same hour, at the hands of the same driver—and it's only then that Atsushi realizes he could stop it from happening.
iv.
Atsushi repeats the day over and over, more times than he can count, but no matter how he tries, Muro-chin is still killed one way or another. It's getting exhausting, but when Atsushi thinks of all those days spent in his room, alone, dwelling on the way Muro-chin had smiled at him and how he'll never get to see it again, he finds himself turning the knob, finds himself taken back to that Tuesday morning before everything changed.
Muro-chin has always been troublesome, but never more trouble than he's worth.
v.
"Muro-chin," says Atsushi, a little after the one-hundredth time. He had rewound to a day earlier than usual, and there's a plea in his voice that neither of them have ever heard before. It holds Muro-chin's attention as it sets fire to Atsushi's cheeks. "Practice with me."
Atsushi is treated to a confused gaze, that customary smile accompanying it. "This is new."
"It's only for today," says Atsushi, frowning as he looks away. He thinks he understands, now; maybe the stopwatch was never meant to save Muro-chin at all.
Maybe it was a way to show Atsushi what a good thing he had, that he didn't realize until it was gone.
"If you say so," says Muro-chin, his hand on Atsushi's back as if to herd him towards the gym, as if he might change his mind without a countermeasure.
Atsushi isn't going anywhere. He stays, plays one-on-one with Muro-chin, weathering the sweat on his brow and the ache in his knees. If this is Muro-chin's last day, if he's alive for the last time, Atsushi wants him to be happy.
If Muro-chin's wide, ecstatic grin is any indication, then at least Atsushi succeeded.
vi.
The next day is sunlit and snowy as ever. Muro-chin is walking beside Atsushi, smiling as he talks about their practice from yesterday. From the corner of his eye, Atsushi sees a car skidding wildly out of control in the distance, heading towards them.
He makes up his mind; he holds Muro-chin's hand.

i.
The decision to go to Akita for high school is easily made, almost laughably so. He's sure the others, even Mine-chin, had put more thought into their choices than he did, but Atsushi is a simple guy when it comes down to it. He wanted to get away from his overcrowded house, wanted to taste the Western delicacies in the Yosen cafeteria, and wanted to be bossed around by a pretty coach, if he absolutely had to be bossed around. And so up north it is, amidst the wind and snow and the chill that seeped into his dorm room even with the windows tightly shut.
And so begins his quiet, uneventful high school years.
ii.
He practices basketball when he's told to, though he refuses to move from under the hoop because surely his senpai can score without him, can't they? Masako-chin threatens him with her shinai almost daily, but it's empty because she lets him do it anyway. He's all alone, on that side of the court, but it's nothing different from his usual.
He walks the halls by himself, buys himself snacks, and spends the rest of the time convincing himself that he needs no one else. Most people are either afraid or resentful of him, though he does nothing to rectify the fact. What's the point? He won't see them again when he graduates. There's no need to care about anyone, or anything, like basketball.
Especially basketball.
iii.
Aka-chin tells him to sit out the interhigh, so he does. He goes to Tokyo in the meantime, touring the candy shops he'd missed.
He doesn't get lost.
iv.
Half a year later, he goes up against Kuro-chin in the Winter Cup. He's flanked by a loud and annoying guy, who manages to goad Atsushi into leaving his spot from under the hoop and actually play. Sometime in the third quarter, Atsushi decides he's had enough, that he's going to sit the rest of this match out. Masako-chin and the others try their best to get him back in, but his simplicity is rivaled only by his stubbornness. He's going to pay for this later, he knows, the way he'd been forced to run laps until he got sick when he refused to play in the Interhigh, but that Kagami guy is impossible to beat.
He watches his team lose, and feels nothing at all. Kuro-chin has won and proven his point, but when he looks at Atsushi, there's a hopelessness there he can't seem to place.
v.
Atsushi doesn't give Masako-chin the chance to punish him. He quits the team that very day and never looks back, though he does show up to watch the others play.
Kise-chin and Mido-chin seem to have found somewhere they belonged, and even Aka-chin has taken command of his team the way he never could with the rest of them. Kuro-chin has that overbearing guy, and together they win the finals.
Atsushi doesn't stay for the medal ceremony.
vi.
Three years pass, and he leaves Akita behind for Tokyo again. Culinary school seems the logical path for him, so he follows it, swayed along by the tides without making a move to change it, much like how he'd stay stationary under the hoop what seems like a lifetime ago. Life isn't bad.
It's just not very good either.
vii.
"Hey, if you don't mind, I'd like to ask—"
"No."
"It would only take a—"
"What do you want?"
Atsushi stops in his stride and takes pleasure at his stalker stumbling at the sudden change of pace. Well, he's not really a stalker, but he's been tailing Atsushi for more than ten seconds and Atsushi is exhausted already. But then the guy looks up after regaining his footing, and even with his hair artfully styled over half his face like that, he's easily the prettiest person Atsushi's ever seen.
"I need directions, that's all. I haven't been in Japan for very long."
"Why'd you have to ask me?"
"You looked like you knew where you were going. There's a very determined air about you."
The guy gives him a smile. Atsushi could've gone his whole life without seeing that smile and been fine, but now that he has, he's struck by the horrifying notion that he'd start missing it.
"Where do you want to go," he says, finally, his heart a bass drum. The beat of it echoes in his ears as the guy's face brightens, looking at Atsushi like he's some kind of hero.
"Nowhere in particular. I just wanted to go sightseeing. Do you have any ideas? I'm Himuro Tatsuya, by the way."
Atsushi stares at him—at his pretty face, his kind smile, the way he's offering Atsushi his hand. Atsushi takes it, recognizing the callousness of his palm. He doesn't bring it up, though; there's no room for basketball here, not yet.
"Murasakibara Atsushi," he says, and before he could psych himself out, adds, "I could take you, so you don't get lost."
"Would you? I'd like that very much," says Muro-chin. "It's nice to meet you, Atsushi."
He hasn't let go of Atsushi's hand yet. Atsushi decides he won't be the first to do so, squeezing it a little bit.
"Mm. You too."
Re: FILL: TEAM HIMURO TATSUYA/NIJIMURA SHUUZOU, C1, T
i think this might be my fave because i love what-if scenarios like this, and i love miragen angst over "well so-and-so's doing fine on their NEW team, i'm FINE, don't ask"
this path for him where there's no himuro in high school makes so much sense which makes everything i'm feeling worse :D BUT THERE'S HOPE FOR HIM AT THE END thank you for giving me at least one happy ending hahaha
thank you so much for these three beautiful fills, I LOVE THEM VERY MUCH!
