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).

rest assured that this ends up with Suga wearing only one of Kuroo's Nekoma T-shirts.

***

It really just figured, Sugawara sighed, that of course the rain would start pouring down just as he missed the bus off campus. He huddled in the bus shelter shivering because the rain was blowing sideways so it wasn't actually sheltering any part of him and regretted intensely the morning's worth of Love Live he had played to kill time between classes instead of starting his reading. His phone was dead as a bug in his pocket, meaning he couldn't even call his mother and beg for a ride like a grade schooler.

"Hey, stranger," a familiar voice said, and when Sugawara turned, there was Kuroo Tetsurou, huddling in a hoodie that had been light blue but was soaked dark across the hood and shoulders, hair flattened to wet spikes against his forehead instead. Sugawara knew from team grapevine that Kuroo had come to Miyagi for university, but he was in the sports program and Sugawara was mathematics, so they hadn't crossed paths for any reason in the first few weeks.

"Kuroo-kun!" Sugawara mustered some fake cheer and his patented Mr. Refreshing smile. "What's a face like yours doing at a bus stop like this?"

"Missing the bus, apparently," Kuroo chuckled. His eyes drifted up, and Sugawara wondered if despite his wet state, his idiot hair was still managing to stick up. It did that. "But at least I'm in good company."

"For another twenty minutes at the very least," Sugawara sighed, some of the cheer melting right back off his face. "I can't even call in a white knight, my phone's dead."

"Well, I'm not wearing white, but my apartment's only a fifteen minute walk off campus," Kuroo offered. "Wanna come over? Save at least five minutes before you can warm up, plus I can promise you I know exactly where I left it, unlike the next bus."

"I've watched at least five porns that start with this exact premise," Sugawara said, but he hefted his backpack up higher and squared his shoulders. "Lead the way, Captain."

"Hardly," Kuroo chuckled, leaning out of the bus shelter to tilt his head back at the sky and clicking his tongue in disgust at the confirmation that there wasn't going to be a break in the downpour for a while.

"Thought you'd be harder to convince," Kuroo commented as they fell into step, their wet sneakers slapping the sidewalk in time with the rain. "You aren't afraid that I'm going to take advantage of you once we're at my place? Let's get you out of your wet things and all that?"

Sugawara turned his head to catch Kuroo's gaze and winked at him. "I didn't say they were bad porn. But surely you can think up some better lines than that on the way home."

"The thing is, it doesn't seem like I have to," Kuroo answered, and Sugawara's bray of laughter was cut off by a clap of thunder that made both of them jump.
