SEMI-CLOSED ♞ B-B-BINGO AND SUCH

[tarotcards]

WHO: Souji and others!
WHERE: Everywhere in Recolle
WHEN: All of July
WHAT: A general catch-all log for this month. Mostly bingo threads, though!
WARNINGS: N/A asides from some massive food poisoning??

OOC: For reference, Souji's bingo sheet is found here! Those with a blue coloured square means it is currently "taken" while the white squares are still free. Feel free to PM me or reach me at northpaws if you'd like to do some bingo stuff (that we haven't already planned beforehand) or if you'd like any other threads! This is just a catch-all post for all the logs/threads I might have, without spamming the comm and to keep all of Souji's bingo threads in one post.

Want to call it a truce and team up then?

[ souji plays the trumpet and kurt sings and everyone throws rocks as well? ]

[digthefuzz]

[He pauses and gives a stern nod.]

Alright, man. You got yourself a partnership! [He extends his hand for a handshake!]

[rebellions]

[Damn right he's gonna push him away. It's not even because he's the one responsible for his current state, but accepting help from anyone leaves a bad taste in Ragna's mouth. Almost as bad as the one left but the Mystery Food X 2.0.

Listening to the list of things that could have killed him a moment ago, Ragna truly wishes he had enough strength right now to punch Souji in the face. As things stand, however, he's forced to resort to just yelling. And yell he does.]

Are you fucking insane?! Why the hell would you feed that to other people?!

[Okay, so maybe he did warn him and crap, but that's is definitely NOT something that should be even presented as edible.]

[saburai]

[ It's neither an instructor nor the owner who comes to answer him, but the owners' daughter, who's helping her parents out for the day. She's dressed in her karate gi, though, so at least she might look kind of official? ]

Hello. Is there something I can help you with?

[impulsives]

Heck no! I'm just asking in case it'd only count if I slap you really hard.

[ Souji, do you not trust him at all? ;A; ]

[impulsives]

[ That... that sounds like a good idea...

Either ways, Shin's going to sit up too, and at least he doesn't have that bad of a motion sickness, but boy his tongue still can feel the awful taste... He tightens his grip around Souji's hand to let him know that he's here... ]

Y-yeah...

[covenantal]

[ Ah.

This isn't the first time Souji has approached him with such a serious look and tone, but Yu thinks it probably won't last.

Yu also thinks he knows why this is happening. His chest is thrumming with new power, power he hasn't even yet had a chance to test, and it makes his whole body feel electric. Strange. Like it isn't entirely his own, anymore. The shared space in his soul has grown, and he really doesn't even know what to make of that. How he should feel about it.

But he does know how he feels about Souji coming to talk to him. Relieved.

Even so, he'll approach this with the seriousness it merits, trying not to let his gratitude that Souji is actually talking to him this time override the gravity of the situation. ]

Yeah.

[ He was in the middle of cooking, though given that he's just started the rice cooker, now is actually a good time for a conversation. He'll turn away from the food and face his brother, concerned but also steady. ]

Is this about...

[ After a pause, he'll simply tap his own chest and tilt his head. Souji will likely understand what he means. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Close enough. As long as she doesn't karate chop his head then she's just about the person he wants to see. ]

I'm wondering if I could sign up for lessons. And also if I could spar with someone.

[ The last part is very important. ]

➟ ritsu [build a sandcastle as tall as you / spend the day with a friend of a friend]

[tarotcards]

[ Sandcastle time! It's time to be at the beach, tan under the sun, and attempt to build a sandcastle as tall as them. The only problem is that Souji is.. 5'11"... so this might be a challenge. ]

I wonder if it'll hold up...

[tarotcards]

[ Thank god Ragna is too weak to punch Souji in the face because that's the moneymaker. He can't do social links if he has a bruised up face. ]

For bingo. [ ... yep ] I did warn you.

[ Like three times. This is your own undoing, Ragna. ]

[impulsives]

[ The door is opened, leading Souji to be greeted by... Shin wearing a robot's head.

...The door is immediately closed, and then opened again, only this time it's just Shin. Looking slightly sheepish and kind of Concerned at Souji. But either ways he moves out of the way and gestures Souji in. ]

Sorry, was, er, testing my costume for the con. Just take a seat anywhere you like.

[esperimental]

[ All the gray hasn't gotten any less disappointing from the last time Ritsu was here, but there was a job to be done. Ritsu scrolls through his phone's ~Sandcastle Science~ articles, squinting against the sunlight's reflection. ]

It's best to use our bare hands. We'd need a base around... triple your height.

[ He doesn't even look up from that. ]

... How do they judge bingo accuracy?

[ There's a tear in his conscience between honest Lawful methods and just flat-out cheating. ]

1/3

[tarotcards]

[ ... does Shin have any enemies he wants to throw poison at ]

[ Souji leans his body against the bench, using it as support as he tries to get his bearings. He continues to tightly hold onto Shin's hand (insert gay seal). ]

You're... a good friend, Shin, for sticking through this with me... Thank yo--

You sense Shin's loyalty...

[tarotcards]

[ oh god no not now ]


Thou art I... And I am thou...
Thou shalt have our blessing when thou choosest to create
a Persona of the Magician Arcana...

The Social Link has reached level 7.
Your power to create Personas of the Magician Arcana has grown.

[tarotcards]

[ Why does this always happen during the most inappropriate times? Well, it's appropriate but whenever he's already dizzy as hell. He just lets out a small groan and just places his head against the bench. ]

... are all Magician rank ups going to be like this?

[ He just mumbles under his breath? ]

[complementing]

They probably won't, because they don't seem like the type of people to appreciate art, but-- [She sets a hand on her popped out hip, tilting her nose into the air and fanning her fingers against her sternum like a snooty art critic.] I do. You deserve a standing ovation.

[tarotcards]

[ Embrace your inner cheating, Ritsu. Souji has practically done that for at least two of his squares. It's the fastest way to earn those bingos. Do it. Be the bad boy you always wanted to be. ]

I'm not too sure... [ He puts a hand to his chin, thoughtful. ] What if we just build a big hill or wall? We can say it's a castle under construction.

[tarotcards]

[ be his sugar mama, elizabeth ]

Excellent. Then I think I'll start with this cute sugar bowl shaped as a cat.

[ He goes to reach for the exact same bowl that Elizbeth was looking at earlier but... it seems to be the last one in stock?! Oh no, are they going to have a fight about this ]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji shakes his head. ]

No, not yet, but... [ He thinks back to one of his earlier memories. ] I don't know if it was a dream or if it's even related but I was in a space that felt like the TV world. I came across a foggy figure there who talked about seeking the truth.

[ He's referring to that one dream sequence with Izanami, though he doesn't know who he was speaking to or the significance of that dream just yet. ]

I don't know if that matches the type of Shadows you're talking about though.

[tarotcards]

[ He reaches up to shake her hand. ]

Souji of Pen's Point's new video.

[ He'll have to look out for whenever that goes up. ]

What's your channel about?

[tarotcards]

[ Hey, look, Shin's the one with the skewered motivations. Don't look at Souji. ]

The card doesn't specify so I guess you can slap me as hard as your traitorous heart feels like.

[tarotcards]

Maybe they'll toss us those dancing fruits and if so, I vote that we should keep them and let them dance with us. We could use some backup dancers to our choir.

[tarotcards]

[ Aaaaand that gets him to immediately call back Mada. Sorry Ros, he's just going to make it fade away because he does not want it around to burn her again. He'll also try to see if he can take her hand to examine the burn. ]

I'm sorry-- How bad is it?

[tarotcards]

While I welcome tips for all other pets, I can only offer the service for cat tips. Cats are the superior pets, of course.

[esperimental]

[ Wow how dare you Souji?? He expected bett-- well not really. He expects nothing. ]

...................

[ Ritsu's look goes from judging, to contemplation, and acceptance within 3 seconds. ]

I am not murdering my arms for Retrospec.
