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!
- 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.

“You’re a decent hitter. For a pitcher,” Liu allows, leaning over the dugout railing.
Himuro raises an eyebrow. If this is Liu’s attempt at teasing, it’s—okay, he supposes, better than picking on his pitching, which does need some work, the fastball he can’t quite inch up above ninety still, the knuckleball that flattens out too quickly sometimes. But he leads the team in average; he’s no power hitter but he can execute a bunt, lay down a line drive double in the gap. Maybe he’s only first in average because Atsushi doesn’t try that hard, but someone has to score the runs. You can’t win a game with a score of 0-0, after all.
“Is that a challenge?”
“Maybe,” says Liu, taking off his cap and running a hand through his sweaty hair.
Fukui walks; Himuro strides out to the on-deck circle to take some practice cuts. It’s an exhibition game; they’re using metal bats, a challenge Coach has made to the pitchers—don’t give up any long fly balls. Himuro hadn’t in his two innings of work; the knuckleball isn’t particularly prone to that when it’s working, and today it is well enough. The next batter pops up; it’s Himuro’s turn. He looks back to Liu in the dugout; he’s leaning forward and smirking. So it is a challenge.
It’s not like Himuro can’t hit home runs, but it’s not like he’s going to fuck up his stance swinging for the fences, either.
The first pitch comes in fast, higher than he likes and high enough (or badly-framed enough) that the umpire calls ball one. Himuro prefers facing off against righty pitchers; whether because it’s something in his lefty batting stance or the fact that he’s a righty pitcher himself he doesn’t know, and the why of it doesn’t really matter. Still, that doesn’t mean he’s not going to try harder to hit lefties, and, well, the second pitch comes in slow, a little movement just toward the outside corner, right where Himuro likes it. He’s got to swing a little harder to make it carry, but, well.
It lands on the other side of the fence; Fukui and Atsushi high-five Himuro at the plate and the smirk is gone, replaced with an unsurprised smile. Liu grabs Himuro’s ass just as Himuro’s about to grab his, and Himuro lets his hand graze the small of Liu’s back instead, right under his jersey number.
“Like I said,” Liu says. “You’re decent for a pitcher.”
