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.

Fun fact: there really is a hot air balloon restaurant
***
After Momo heroically saved Atobe from having to walk to the subway station in the blistering heat, Atobe decided the only way to properly thank him would be with with a decadent 5 course meal.
In his hot air balloon.
Momo had only seen hot air balloons in pictures and had imagined riding in one would be purely exhilarating. Something akin to blasting off in a rocketship or reverse skydiving. In reality, the ascent was more like being in a slow, open air elevator. He could hardly tell they were moving until he looked down and everything looked tons smaller, like a model lego set.
Atobe led Momo to a small stand up bar at the edge of the balloon basket, while his personal chef got straight to work preparing their dishes using excess heat from the balloon burner. Atobe had explained beforehand that they would have to stand and eat their food; if they sat down they wouldn’t be able to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Before long Atobe’s chef brought out two teacups of soup and placed them on the bar.
This is too small! It better not count as part of my 5 course meal, Momo thought, drinking the soup up in one single gulp. Meanwhile, Atobe was eating his soup very gentleman-like with a dainty little spoon.
The chef cleared away their teacups and promptly brought out the 2nd course, salad, which didn’t look much like a salad to Momo. Where was the lettuce? This so-called ‘salad’ only had cheese, a slice of tomato, and a leaf. Momo didn’t know if he was supposed to eat the leaf or if it was just decoration, so he eyed Atobe carefully out of his peripheral.
Not only did Atobe eat the leaf, but he cut up the salad into smaller pieces with his fork and knife! Momo followed suit. Although the leaf was difficult to skew onto his fork, so, when Atobe and the chef weren’t looking, Momo quickly picked it up with his fingers and ate it.
“I had my chef prepare the appetizer with you especially in mind,” Atobe grinned as the chef set down two golf ball sized burgers.
Momo was about to plop it in his mouth with his fingers when he spotted Atobe-- cutting it with his knife and fork!
Why?
Why was all the food so small? Was this some kind of practical joke?
That’s when Momo remembered something he once heard Inui say, that the price of food negatively correlates with it’s portion size. Or, in other words, the more expensive the meal, the smaller the plate.
This was a disaster! He should have asked Atobe for 5 meals, instead of one measly 5 course meal!
The chef cleared away their plates and utensils, setting down a slightly larger fork. Momo got his hopes up that the next course would also be slightly bigger.
But he was wrong.
The chef returned, serving them both what was probably the world’s tiniest steak. It was small enough to fit between two normal sized hamburger buns. It was in that moment Momo decided he could do without the frivolities of finer food and had best stick to his main staples from now on.
For dessert, the chef set down one pot of chocolate sauce and about 10 or so skewers accompanied by various assortment of items to dip in the chocolate.
“Allow me to show you my fondue dipping prowess!” Atobe said, swirling a strawberry around in the chocolate.
Momo’s stomach rumbled as he watched Atobe eat his chocolate covered strawberry. He couldn’t wait to try it for himself. He grabbed a skewered piece of cheesecake and swirled it around in the chocolate. But when he took it out, the chocolate dripped all over the table, all over him, and even a little on the floor.
Momo quickly licked the chocolate off his fingers before remembering he was at a nice ‘restaurant.’
“You got some on me too,” Atobe said, splaying his chocolate drizzled hand in Momo’s face.
“Uhhh, sorry!” Momo said, tossing Atobe his gently used napkin.
But the napkin just fell to the floor as Atobe took one step closer, shaking his head.
“No, I want to try the commoner’s way.” Atobe nudged Momo’s mouth with his hand.
Momo tentatively licked the tip of Atobe’s pointer finger, glancing around to make sure the chef’s back was turned before taking the entire finger in his mouth. Momo sucked gently, not wanting to miss a spot of chocolate remnants as his tongue twirled over each of Atobe’s calloused fingers.
Once Momo was finished, Atobe gestured to his neck. “There’s some here.”
Momo licked away the drip of chocolate.
“And here,” Atobe pointed to a spot on his upper lip.
Heart pounding, Momo could feel the blood rush to his face. If he licked him there it would be like they were kissing!
“Master Keigo!” The chef’s exasperated voice cut them off. “Just use your napkin!”
“Looks like we’ll have to continue this another time,” Atobe whispered as they exited the hot air balloon.

THIS MOMO VOICE IS KILLING ME.
Re: FILL: Team Grandstand, B2, T
Momo is a funny guy! I feel like his lax nature makes him kind of the opposite of Atobe (which made this pairing interesting to write). I like to imagine Momo going to some fancy get together, 100% wanting to be there, but not knowing what’s appropriate etiquette AT ALL.
