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.

➟ shouto [learn to juggle three items at once]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji knows how to juggle two items but three? That's kind of pushing it. How can he even begin to do three them all without dropping everything? It's kind of a mess and of course, he's standing here with these balls in his hands and just helplessly looking at Shouto (whom he probably found on the streets and dragged to the side). ]

You wouldn't happen to know how to juggle three items, do you?

[glaciers]

[The thing about Shouto is that as long as he doesn't need to be anywhere, he's very permissive. So it was surprisingly easy to drag Shouto over.]

I've never juggled anything before.

[tarotcards]

[ Thanks for being such a passive dude, Shouto. ]

Not even with two items?

[glaciers]

[You're welcome, be grateful.]

When would I need to know how to juggle?

[tarotcards]

In case your bingo sheet ever asked you to juggle three things?

[ At least that's for Souji. He doesn't know if Shouto will have the same square. ]

[glaciers]

I have it, but that doesn't mean I was expecting it.

[tarotcards]

Do you want to learn together then? It'll fill out both our squares.

[glaciers]

Sure.

What are we juggling?

[tarotcards]

I have a few small balls we can use.

[ He thinks. ]

They've never specified that we have to learn how to juggle three items on our own. What if we just juggle them between us?

[glaciers]

That seems easier than trying to do it on our own.

We can try that.

[tarotcards]

Sure. Let's give this a try.

[ Souji moves one step back, putting a tiny bit of distance between him and Shouto. He will start off by throwing each ball with an extended period of time between each toss, just to start Shouto off and to see if this can work. ]

[glaciers]

[Shouto turns so he's properly looking at Souji.

The first attempt is the ball almost smacking directly into Shouto's face.

But he starts getting into the rhythm of it after a while.]

... If it's this slow, does it still count?

[tarotcards]

[ If Shouto needs to set the balls on fire for whatever reason (like if they almost smack them in the face again) then Souji wouldn't even blame him. In fact, they could just throw around flaming balls to each other. ]

I'm not too sure, actually. Maybe we should pick up the pace like this?

[ Souji will do just that but it's definitely getting difficult..! ]

[glaciers]

[Is Souji fireproof?

Shouto has made a mistake. Not a terrible mistake, but he wasn't expecting the pace to increase so much. His first instinct when there's something flying at his face- bring his left hand up to stop it.

Unfortunately, he doesn't really have solid control over his left side- so that ball is suddenly a ball of flames as Shouto's forearm catches fire.]

Shit.

[tarotcards]

[ Actually, Souji is definitely fireproof because of his current Persona so IN FACT Shouto can totally throw flaming balls at him and he'll be able to hold it just fine. ]

[ But whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA THE KID THAT SOUJI SET ON FIRE NOW HAS HIS ARM ON FIRE TOO WHY IS THIS HAPPENING Souji immediately drops the balls so he can go over and try to pat it out with his own hands. Anyone just looking at this from a normal point of view will think this is really dumb but if Shouto looks, Souji doesn't even seem... affected by the fire at all? In fact, the fire seems to actually be healing a few of the small cuts he had on his hands earlier (making Kanplas are hard sometimes) and does nothing to harm him. ]

What happened?!

[glaciers]

[Shouto looks bewildered for a moment before the fire on his arm roars for a moment more- before calming down to embers and then finally getting put out.

How... embarrassing?

He was too distracted to notice the cuts on Souji's hands that seem to heal up. Focusing more on the fire that he's accidentally created.]

... Me?

[How else is he supposed to put it?]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji lets out a relieved breath when the fire finally goes out and he pulls back, his hands not super crispy or black (in fact, his skin is super soft now so thanks??). ]

... You did that?

[ does shouto have magical fire too like what ]

[glaciers]

[Now that Shouto's main focus isn't the fact his arm is on fire. He notices that Souji... isn't on fire? And seems bewildered.]

... You're not burned?

[Well, as bewildered as Shouto can manage.]

[tarotcards]

[ He looks down at his hands and ah... yeah, this might be something to explain but he shakes his head. ]

No, fire... doesn't hurt me.

[ That's the simplest way to put it, he thinks. ]

It doesn't seem to hurt you either.

[glaciers]

[Shouto just accepts that at face value. Sure, Souji can't be hurt from fire.

Makes sense. Look, he can set himself on fire- it's not the time to question the world.]

... The fire I produce doesn't hurt me. I don't know about other fire.

I don't know if I want to check.

[tarotcards]

What about the time I accidentally set your coat on fire?

[ Did Shouto have his powers back then? ]

[glaciers]

I didn't have my powers then.

[So he shrugs. He doesn't know anything for sure.]

[tarotcards]

[ So they can't use that scenario to help determine anything. Hmm... ]

... why did your arm suddenly catch on fire though?

[glaciers]

... I didn't want to get hit in the face.

[tarotcards]

... so it's a defensive reflex?
