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.

For fills:
First 4 fills by any member of your team: 20 points each
Fills 5-10: 15 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).

"It's not going to work," Alex says, kicking up off the ground and hovering cross-legged.

Masako frowns and reaches into her bag, taking out a can of salt. She stands up, walking in a circle around Alex, spilling it on the grass below. Alex lowers herself closer to the ground and studies the salt. She extends her hand towards it before snatching it away as if burned. She laughs, shaking her hand out, and hovers her way out of the circle.

"It's iodized. I'm not a chemist, but I do know that it's got to be pure sodium chloride to trap a demon."

Masako shrugs. "It was worth a shot."

She rummages through her bag again and brings out a box full of white tealights. She counts out thirteen before laying them around Alex again. She take a lighter out of her pocket and lights seven. She's about to start chanting an incantation when Alex clears her throat.

"You... do know that there is an easier way to get rid of a succubus, right?"

Masako grimaces. "I'd rather not."

Alex laughs and combs her fingers through her long blonde hair. "It's not like I'd eat you or anything. Just a wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Am I not your type or something?"

Masako shakes her head, letting her eyes rove up and down Alex's body. "That's not the issue here."

"I could show you a good time."

"I could show you right out of here."

"Ooh," Alex says, winking, "sassy."

Masako sighs. "Shouldn't it be obvious to you? I'm a sister. It wouldn't be becoming of me to just fuck demons out of existence. It would be a poor example for all of the acolytes, and god knows I already have enough trouble keeping them in line."

"Oh, it's too late for you if that's what you were going for." Alex unfolds her legs and stands in the middle of the candlelit circle. "I haven't been here before, but I have met one of your acolytes somewhere before. The cute one with the mole. He took the straightforward way out. Maybe you could learn from your students."

Masako feels a vein in her forehead pulse. She wishes she had her sword on her. The demon would probably like that, though. Damn. "Well, I'll just have to teach him a lesson later."

Alex raises an eyebrow. "But now?"

Masako sighs and blows the candles out one by one. "I'm going to perform your exorcism the tried-and-true way."

Alex grins.

nicely done! you captured their characters really well and the kind of dynamic between them that I absolutely love. thank you for such a quick fill!
