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).

After a lifetime of friendship, Hajime really should have known better. He had spent all morning trying to prepare food with Oikawa underfoot, for what he was told would be a little reunion with some of their favorite Seijoh kouhai.

He should have realized that a hanami party planned by Oikawa, that Hajime got stuck doing most of the cooking for, was some kind of terrible ruse. Especially when Oikawa had said he’d even invited “Kyouken, just for Iwa-chan~!”

And now he was sat here watching Oikawa press onigiri to Ushiwaka’s lips, who kept blushing faintly but accepting the food without protest. This was a date. For some unfathomable reason Oikawa was making him third wheel on a date. Hajime would have left, but he’d made this food, and dammit, he was going to enjoy his fill before he went anywhere.

“This is delicious, Iwaizumi,” Ushijima said, and Hajime thought he could detect an apologetic expression shading Ushijima’s usual stoicism. “You were very gracious to prepare such a variety of food for us to enjoy,” - Hajime snorted - “thank you.”

Hajime turned his glare on Oikawa, who looked incredibly pleased with himself. Before he could decide how he wanted to knock that expression off his supposed-best friend’s face, Ushijima continued on. “When did you learn to cook?”

Hajime forced himself to be polite, since it probably wasn’t Ushijima’s fault he’d lost his mind and chosen to lay his affections with Oikawa. “My parents liked us to prepare meals as a family when I was growing up, especially dinner. Oikawa also helped out a lot; he was over often enough.”

“Iwa-chan is going to make a very good boyfriend one day,” Oikawa said. Hajime noticed he had a slightly evil gleam in his eye.

Ushijima fixed Hajime with an unnecessarily intense stare. “I can see that,” he agreed.

Hajime fish mouthed unattractively for a moment, but before he could decide what to say, Oikawa jumped up.

“Wakacchan,” he sing songed. “Let’s go for a romantic walk to look at the cherry blossoms.” He gave Hajime a little wave before grabbing his boyfriend by the elbow and wandering off with him.

Hajime crossed his arms and glowered, his appetite completely gone. If they hadn’t borrowed some of Oikawa’s mom’s nicer dishware, he’d just fucking leave the picnic to get stolen or thrown out - whatever happened it would be Oikawa’s problem.

Instead he sat with mostly untouched food, following the other two’s progress through the park with his eyes, getting more and more annoyed every time they stopped to admire the trees or laughed or gazed adoringly at each other. Sappy idiots.

“Whoa, who pissed in your cornflakes?”

Hajime’s head snapped up at Makki’s voice. He and Mattsun were settling themselves down to join him.

“Where the hell did you two come from?”

“Oh, we told Oikawa to tell you we wouldn’t be in Miyagi,” Mattsun said. “We didn’t want to help with the food.”

“Like I would have let you,” Hajime said. Everything started to click into place when he saw Watari and Yahaba walking towards them, followed closely by a slightly surly looking Kyoutani. “You know, I really hate shittykawa.”

“Yeah okay, buddy.”

“Sure you do.”

Hajime’s suspicions were confirmed when Kindaichi arrived and apologized for being late. “You aren’t,” Watari assured him, “it’s only just 1:30 now.” 1:30, almost a full forty-five minutes after Oikawa rushed them to the park.

Hajime’s phone buzzed in his pocket, and he pulled it out to see a notification from Oikawa.

why: ( ´ з`)ノ～ ♡

“Hey Mattsun, is Oikawa up to something?” Hajime asked quietly.

“Duh,” Mattsun said, some rice falling out of his mouth.
