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.

[Because punching things solves every life problem except ghosts???]

Don't get cocky, brat.

[Fake or not, the smugness is pissing him off. He's not gonna let a goddamn teenager look down on him, oh no.

But he doesn't have any better suggestions, and while arguing it for the sake of arguing isn't beneath him, he just really wants to get this over with. No point in wasting time, so he just mutters something among the lines of "Fine, be that way. Not that I need it..."

Since they both appear to be ready, Ragna begins the countdown without further ado.]

Three... Two... One... Go!

[That's the part where people squeeze the horses Chochobos with their legs, right? At least they do in the movies. So Ragna does exactly that and lo and behold, it actually works ─ the giant bird lets out a squawk and starts running, causing Ragna to hold onto it like his life depended on it (which it probably kind of does) and wonder how the fuck this is something people do for fun.]

[tarotcards]

[ But why would he want to punch a ghost in the first place?? ]

[ But off they go!! Down the street on their insane giant birds... Who really thought this was a good idea? It's kind of a miracle that Souji doesn't fall off his Chocobo and crack open his head (too soon, that'll happen in the car crash log) but they make it to the end and........ Ragna actually won?! How is this possible?! ]

[ Souji slopes down on his Chocobo, burying his face into his feathers. The despair is practically resonating off him. ]

I... can't believe this...

[rebellions]

[SELF-PRESERVATION???

Regardless, the Chocobo race is sure a thing and Ragna is 100% certain he's never gonna do that again. Ever. He almost wants to kiss the ground once he gets off the bird (even less gracefully than when getting on it).]

Me neither...

[That he actually did it. That he somehow survived. That he... won? How the hell did that happen?!

Must be one of the many possibilities of the Continuum Shift.]

[tarotcards]

[ JUST LET THE GHOSTS OVERTAKE YOU, RAGNA!!!!! ]

[ Souji refuses to get off his bird because he just needs to wallow in his loss some more in the neck of this Chocobo. ]

How... How did you win?

[rebellions]

[NEVERRRR!!!!

Ragna has been asking himself the exact same question ever since crossing the finish line. The way he sees it, there are only a few possible answers:

a) dumb luck,
b) pure accident,
c) Souji's bird is shit,
d) Ragna's chicken was Seabiscuit in another life.]

Talent?

[Not even close. He's trying to sound casual to make it look like this is exactly the result he's expected (spoiler: it's not), but he can't help that hint of surprise in his voice. It's so rare for things to go his way, it feels almost unnatural. Hell, has he ever won anything? What sort of weird, godless timeline is this?!]

Stop being such a wimp and take your loss like a man.

[Ragna is certain that if they switched places, he wouldn't act like that. Definitely. Probably. Not for this long, anyway. Now that he's safe on the ground and getting used to this new reality where he's actually accomplished something, he starts petting his Chocobo absentmindedly. Weird as it is, the beast is kinda nice, not to mention it earned his affection by winning the race for him.]
