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.

Comments

➟ kurt [steal a retrospec item]

[tarotcards]

[ Ever since Souji got a random trumpet in the mail from Retrospec, he's been jamming out on it on a semi-regular basis. He already knows how to play a little bit of the trumpet so it was easy enough to pick it up, but surprisingly, when he actually tried, it turned out that he knew... a lot more than he originally thought? Chalk it up to some weird 'wake up with some mysterious power thanks retrospec' thing again, he supposes, but hey, he's not complaining. You know why? ]

[ Because he can play Never Gonna Give You Up on the trumpet. ]

[ It's 11am and this kid is jamming out this song for any poor soul to hear. It's terrible. Quick, steal his trumpet right now before it continues. ]

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt's been walking through the park and looking over his bingo sheet on his iphone while trying to plan which ones to try next. But he can't focus over the sound of that live music. Wait... that music sounds familiar...

As it clicks, Kurt's eyes widen in betrayal. He soon spots the offending trumpeter and approaches him.]

Really?! Why, I have to ask you... why?!

[Why is he unleashing this upon the unsuspecting world]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji looks at Kurt with a smile in his eyes and doesn't stop to reply until he finished the song (luckily, he was near the end of it so Kurt doesn't have to wait for long). Then he just smirks. ]

Well, why not?

[ Back to playing the song again. ]

➟ minako [shade an ode about janet]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji is determined to complete his bingo sheet no matter what. Not because Retrospec told him to, but because he wants to know if he would get a QR code for completing everything (or at least getting a few bingos) and to gain more of his "memories". The last ones haven't been... great, but there's no point from running away from the truth. ]

[ ... even if it means that he has to write an ode to Janet and mean it. ]

[ Luckily, Souji is a creative type so it doesn't take him long to make a totally original and definitely not a cut-and-paste Christmas ode for Janet. The only thing to do now is to share it so he takes it to the streets to see if he can find a poor soul to share it with when... ]

Minako-senpai!

[ Senpaiiiiiii. Here comes your kohai from behind. He waves as he approaches. ]

[digthefuzz]

Y-you know why not! [He whines as the guy just keeps on playing again.]

This shouldn't be allowed. It should be a crime! And if you had to do this, why not try anything other than a trumpet?!

➟ ragna + shin [make a meal out of everything in your fridge and share it]

[tarotcards]

[ The feared centre square... the one that sends shivers down everyone's spines. The one that is the most difficult to complete and for Souji's, it is to "make a meal out of everything your fridge and share it with someone. And we mean EVERYTHING." And because this is Souji, this means that while there might be some normal ingredients like some side dishes and fruits, it also means all the rotten shit that he kept in there for the sole purpose of eating "just because". ]

[ May God have mercy on whoever eats this. ]

[ Souji isn't cruel enough to just hand this out to whoever without a proper warning, though. No, he's much nicer than that. Instead, he just finds a bench in Recolle Square, puts down the giant pot of horrors beside him, and has a sign taped to it that reads "eat if you dare - will increase courage but may decrease life". ]

[ Do you dare to even ask... ]

➟ yu [slap someone who broke into retrospec / hang with someone's sibling]

[tarotcards]

[ It's a nice day. A beautiful and peaceful summer day. There's nothing to suggest that today will be strange or weird or off. No, absolutely not, and that's why when Souji approaches Yu in their dorm, he's probably here to ask for something sane and reasonable. ]

Yu, I need you to help me slap myself.

[ ok nvm ]

➟ elizabeth [purchase something from jim's registry]

[tarotcards]

[ Finding a gift for the guy who runs the app from hell and is most likely responsible for all the weird shit happening in Recolle is... difficult. Granted, Jim has some good tastes in prank items since Souji can agree with some of the things on his gift registry, but on the other hand, it's like ugh. ]

[ So, Souji is just in Towers to see if he can find any of the things on Jim's registry when he spots that crazy Velvet Room assistant (what a coincidence, huh?). ]

Hey, funny running into you here.

[elevelvetor]

[ Elizabeth can't say she's been to many weddings, or even had to buy gifts for them? So she can't judge whether or not this is like, a legitimately good gift registry or not. ...but some of these things are absolutely ridiculous and she's sort of looking forward to finding them to send—

oh, it's one of the twins!! Fancy that. ]

You as well. Are you here on business, for pleasure, or a little of both?

1/2

[covenantal]

[ why can't their lives ever just be normal for more than like, three seconds? why is that so much to ask, universe?? ]

[covenantal]

[ Anyway. Yu puts down the book he was reading and just kind of stares at his brother blankly for an uncomfortably long time.

Finally: ]

Why.

[tarotcards]

[ And Souji just stares back at Yu with the straightest face ever. ]

Because I broke into Retrospec.

[ As if that answers anything... ]

[tarotcards]

[ He holds up his phone, showing her the screen of his Bingo sheet. ]

Mostly for business, but I'd probably pick something up for myself at the same time. How about you?

➟ keigo [give a bouquet of echo flowers whispering a compliment]

[tarotcards]

[ As much as Souji dislikes the echo flowers after what happened when they first arrived, the Bingo square involving them is pretty cute. Find someone and give them a bouquet of echo flowers that whisper a compliment? Heck yeah, Souji can do that. ]

[ He contacted Keigo earlier in the day to ask if he can meet him at Recolle Square later in the afternoon, saying that he had a little "surprise" for him. Of course, the surprise is the bouquet and Souji even managed to make them all whisper "you're the best in the world", but he'll hide it behind his back for now until Keigo arrives. ]

[ Come and get your sweet free compliments. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Sorry, Kurt, you're going to have to wait until Souji finishes playing before he answers again. At least he plays the short version like in that Youtube link but it's still pain and agony to listen to. ]

Because Retrospec sent me a trumpet and a trumpet is an instrument of the soul.

[ Jim made a mistake giving this to Souji. ]

[rebellions]

[Indeed, the centre square is a tricky one; Ragna has yet to decide whether he wants to bother with the whole bingo thing business, let alone that one square. After all, what kind of hallucination-slash-supposedly-memory could be worth such humiliation? None, he believes.

But there are others who seem to think differently. Ones who will stop at nothing to complete the bingo, and that means the centre square is fair game, too. And as luck would have it, today is the day Ragna has come across one such person.

Souji "Professional Shit-Eater" Narukami.

When Ragna notices him, he almost wants to approach him and ask why he's not playing a hobo, but then he's met with a horrible stench that is enough to make him scowl. At first, he assumes it's a part of the hobo role, but he quickly realizes it comes from the pot sitting next to him. He should... probably ignore it, but curiosity gets the better of him and against his better judgment, he peeks inside.

He's pretty sure he's just caught a glimpse of hell itself.

So with all that, yes, he does dare to ask:]

... What the everloving fuck is this supposed to be?

[elevelvetor]

The very same, actually.

[ ...The exact same as far as business goes, actually. ]

How fortunate! I prefer to shop alone, but... Well, I'll admit, when it comes to things such as buying gifts for others, I'm never sure where to begin. [ Even if it's going to be for Jimothy "Jim" Jimbo. Which she is definitely addressing everything to. ] Would you mind lending a hand? In exchange, I'll pay for our expenditures.

[tarotcards]

[ Ah, it's Ragna "will probably kill Souji one day" Edgeson. Souji should always tread carefully around him but, well, he's a little shit sometimes so that never really happens. ]

A test of courage, though I would recommend against it.

[ Is he calling Ragna a wimp? Nah, he's trying to prevent a death here. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Why must you flaunt your money in his face, Elizabeth? Will you bring up your richness every single time? Why ]

It's all right. I don't mind helping just for sake of helping. [ He needs no sugar mama and plus, this helps him too since two heads are better than one ] Did you take a look at the registry? I think we can find a few of the items here.

➟ yukiko [fly kites with someone else]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji has never flown a kite before because lol what is having a childhood so he had to go and buy a kite at the local mall just for this one bingo square. Of course, he bought a kite that looks like a cat and it looks childish but hey, he thinks it's cute. But now that he's got the shopping part done, he just needs to get the flying the kite part finished. He just doesn't really know... where to start, though. Does he toss it in the air and wait for the breeze to take it? Does he have a running start? ]

[ He was about to google it when he sees Yukiko pass by (hopefully she's not doing anything important). ]

Oh, Yukiko, do you mind lending me a hand?

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt just... stares, incredulously as he goes through the song again. And once Souji speaks, Kurt's resolve is steeled. There was one square on his bingo that he didn't think that he'd actually try to do. But now, it seems like the absolute right thing.

Quickly, Kurt points over Souji's shoulder.]

Hey, look behind you! It's... a cat! [This does look like the guy who was unleashing cat puns upon Retrospec once...]

➟ penelope [sing a ballad to a stranger]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji might have played the trumpet in the music club but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a decent singing voice. This ballad bingo square is in the bag and singing to a stranger is no trouble at all. Not when Souji just finds a random open window and decides to sing the ballad right outside. He's totally nailing this bingo thing. ]

Hello from the other sideeeee~ ♫

[ Yeah, he's just going to start right in the middle of that song because this is clearly the best part. ]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji normally is smarter than this. He gets good grades. He led a team back in the OU. Why is this happening? He doesn't stop playing but he does actually turn his head slightly and definitely looks in that direction. Huh, where's the cat?? ]

[impulsives]

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

[ There's just a silence as Shin stared at the pot. Then the sign, then at Souji.

And then he stared at the pot again. There's a few more seconds of silence as Shin pondered it and just... asked Souji the golden question. ]

Souji.

What's in the pot?

➟ shin [slap someone who broke into retrospec]

[tarotcards]

[ Souji and Shin are probably just chilling, maybe at Shin's place, just lounging around on the couch like they usually do. With the arrival of the new bingo game, Souji has been pretty curious as to what other people got on their sheets. He's been going through Shin's by looking at his phone and out of the blue, he just looks up and says: ]

You should slap me.

[ yep ]
