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!

Sawamura had warned him against it, telling him in one of his more serious tones that it would probably be best for him to remain sober during their first end-of-year dinner with the rest of the team.
But it had been a long year, and Tooru was finally done, and it wasn’t like the seniors were going to call him out or anything for having a couple drinks. So he drank. Not enough to get really trashed - he wasn’t that stupid - but he definitely wasn’t holding back, much to Kuroo’s delight and Sawamura’s chagrin.
Tooru kind of liked getting those reactions from both of them.
He was busy deciding whether or not to poke Sawamura on the forehead, right in the middle of all those wrinkles that made up his frown, when some of his seniors got up on a makeshift stage that had been set up in the small restaurant. Some part of him was vaguely aware that they were speaking into a microphone, joking, reading out names - but he wasn’t really listening.
Until they called out his name.
“What?” he blurted out, then clapped a hand over his mouth when he realized how loud he’d been.
The seniors on the stage were surprised for a moment before their expressions turned menacingly cheerful. “You won an award, Oikawa-kun! Come on up, you have to make a speech.”
Tooru blinked, then turned to his two friends in horror. Not that they looked really willing to help him out: Kuroo was too busy cackling while Sawamura crossed his arms in the most clear, nonverbal representation of “I told you so”. After swallowing, he got to his feet and smiled as charmingly as possible to everyone, breathing a sigh of relief when the world doesn’t spin as much as he was worried it would.
He didn’t quite remember making it to the stage, but he definitely got there, and said something about how pleased he was to receive the award. And then things got significantly sappier from there. “I just want to say-- volleyball is very important to me, and I love this team, and it’s- it’s very good to be here, and I’m happy I’m here.”
Tooru lifted his head, looking out into the crowd. Plenty of people were laughing, but his gaze zeroed in on two people. Kuroo was beaming up at him, and so was Sawamura, leaning a cheek on his palm. Tooru felt something in his heart swell at the sight.
All of a sudden, he felt more words bubbling up and leaned in closer to the mic again. “And I’d like to thank- thank all my seniors, but not really, because mostly I’d like to thank all my classmates, but actually not all of you, even though you’re all good and I love you.” How many times had he said the word ‘love’ already? Shaking his head to try to clear it, he went on. “I’d like to thank Da-- Sawamura-kun and, um, Kuroo-chan. Them. I’d like to thank them for being- them.”
People were laughing, which was good, usually, except Kuroo and Sawamura had gone from being amused to looking sort of shocked, and that was no good. So Tooru kept going, even with his seniors trying to push him off the stage. “And I’d like to thank God, and my parents, and the Academy, and Dai-chan and Tettsun, and I love all of you, and good night!”
With that, he finally stumbled off the stage, bowing instinctively as everyone clapped before staggering a little with his considerable lack of balance.
Before he could say anything, Sawamura was at his side, one hand tucked around his elbow as Kuroo parted the crowd so they could get him to the bathroom.
***
“There’s no need to look so sour, Dai-chan! I didn’t puke after all.” Tooru grinned in the mirror before going back to splashing his face, and it was obvious that Sawamura was working hard not to crack a smile.
“I’m less worried about your puking and more worried about what you said on stage,” he responded, and Tooru grimaced.
“Was it that bad? I really don’t remember the exact words I said, just that I rambled. I didn’t insult anyone, did I?”
“Not exactly,” Kuroo replied, leaning against the wall. “In fact, I’d say the problem was that you were too complimentary.
Tooru sighed in relief, dabbing at his face with a paper towel to dry it off. “Well, then, it couldn’t have been too bad, could it have?”
“No. I… I liked it.” Sawamura nodded, almost like he wasn’t sure himself what he felt. “I liked it very much.”
“Ditto,” Kuroo replied. It was a surprisingly reticent reply, for him, and Tooru looked between them both suspiciously.
“You both are being weird. Are you telling me the truth when you said nothing went wrong?”
“Here we are, taking care of his drunk ass in the bathroom, and he accuses us of lying!” Kuroo pressed a hand to his forehead dramatically, looking forlornly over at Sawamura, who just gave in to the laughter that had been bubbling up inside him this whole time.
Tooru reached over to flick Kuroo on the forehead, feeling disgruntled at this entire turn of events. “Shut up. Just give me my award.”
Tooru busied himself with throwing away his paper towel and primping in the mirror as Sawamura pulled out the certificate that had been pressed into Tooru’s hands by one of his seniors. Out of nowhere, Tooru heard him say, “oh.”
“What?” Sawamura was staring with wide eyes at the paper in his hands. Kuroo peeked over his shoulder, then burst out into a fresh round of cackles, barely managing to stand upright as he clutched his stomach. “Oi, what’s going on?” Tooru demanded, his hands dropping from his hair as he stalked over to where the two were standing.
After a moment of hesitation, Daichi held it out to him. Neatly written across the top in fancy calligraphy were the words, “the CHEEKIEST KOUHAI AWARD goes to OIKAWA TOORU”.
“What?!”
