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).

“Don’t they have Waffle House in Chicago?” says Aomine.

“Um, no,” says Kagami, glaring at him over the teetering stack of pancakes in front of him (probably cleaned out all the batter left in the entire fucking restaurant). “We have pretty damn good food, but not this.”

“You make me drive all the way out to Canton—”

“I told you I’d take a fucking cab; you’re the one who said you’d come with and didn’t order anything and don’t even think you can take a pancake.”

Aomine pauses, and then continues to reach for the top stack. Kagami wouldn’t point his kinfe at him, would he?

“You could make me pancakes.”

“I could have someone else make them for me and you could order some,” says Kagami. “It’s late and you don’t have ingredients.”

“Are there any left?”

“It’s Waffle House,” says Kagami, with an exasperated and exaggerated eye roll. “Ask the waiter.”

“Yo,” says Aomine, as the waiter passes them. “Can I get what he’s having?”

“Of course,” says the waiter.

“Thanks,” says Aomine.

“Why are you so rude?” says Kagami.

“I said thanks,” says Aomine, rolling his eyes back at Kagami.

“Whatever,” says Kagami, shoveling another stack of quarter-pancakes into his mouth (how he can fit all of that, well, Aomine starts to have some fantasies that are probably mildly inappropriate for the location, but it’s not like there are any parents with kids here right now; he knows how much of his cock fits into Kagami’s mouth and about Kagami’s lack of gag reflex and, God, that’s nice).

“Can you not,” says Kagami.

“Sorry,” says Aomine, with a grin to show that he isn’t, really. “You do this to yourself; your mouth is fucking incredible.”

“We’re in a restaurant. Every time you say this shit I have to add another five percent to the tip and they’re still probably going to hate us.”

“What’s it at now, five hundred?”

“Ha, ha,” says Kagami.

He’s basically already finished his pancakes, and the waiter’s back with Aomine’s.

“Did you enjoy your meal?”

“Yes, thanks,” says Kagami, and damn that smile he gives the waiter is cute.

The waiter smiles back, taking his plate; Aomine kicks him under the table. “Suck up.”

“What? Be nice to the people handling your food.”

“I’m nice to you.”

Kagami snorts. “That must be a recent development.”

“Oi,” says Aomine, but he holds out a forkful of pancake toward Kagami. “Here, get all this in your mouth.”

“I’m leaving,” says Kagami. “I’m taking a cab back to my hotel.”

Throw in some wild-eyed rednecks wandering in half-way through and this is absolutely the authentic Waffle House experience,

Thank you for this! Taiga is so grumpy, I'm so endeared. And Daiki's a pain in the butt, but he did drive him to a Waffle House. That has to count for something, right?
