sportsanime | Bonus Round 5: Clue

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).

[holds this fill gently & cries for three days] god okay firstly thank you for jumping onto this rarepair, i never expected this to actually get filled, and with such a lovely fill too :"))

i love how mukai & toujou are these two people that once had something to do with each other and still maintain that tenuous connection until now, even if the connection is only present in their thoughts...which leads us here! the idea of home and staying/leaving are actually some of my favourite themes ever so i've just been lying down at this for ages LMAO. mukai still thinks of japan as home even if he hasnt been back for years! mukai has been slowly returning from the day he first left! MUKAI KNOWING TOUJOU WOULD WAIT IF HE ASKED BUT HE DIDNT WANT THEM HOLDING ON WITH A GOODBYE, god.

i'm so sorry i'm just repeating lines back at you but i'm truly living for every word of this, and how it? kinda reverses that mukai expected (or wanted) to meet toujou again as a pitcher in a game in canon :"))) i'm so glad they're home with each other in the end!!! i'm so thankful & pleased you filled this, thank you <3

:') I live the rarepair life, i understand the Suffering. (:3/

yeah, same i love the idea of home, of coming and going but the idea there is a place for you to stay, if you want. and like, when i saw this i was A H oh boy- but also the idea of important things always coming back to you, even if it takes a while. ((':

thank you for the prompt really, it was p fun to fill <3 i'm so glad you liked this!!
