(OOC: So this is a catch-all log for Augustine Sauveterre's bingo antics. Starters will be below this post.

If you want to help him fill out his bingo card, check this card out and just hit me up on my plotting comment, on Plurk (RunnerRPAwaker), or PM me on my character journal. Please note that blue squares mean it's taken while the green ones are the squares that I really want to do with Augustine this month.

Or if you want to let the good professor help you on your bingo quest, just contact me with your bingo card and I'll put up a starter just for you.

So like I said, if you want, just hit me up on Plurk for some bingo plotting: RunnerRPAwaker)

Aranea [Have a Chocobo Race]

[megabond]

[Well, one positive thing about this bingo game is that he can do any activity that he never did before. Sure, he rode on a horse before, but he didn't ride on a Chocobo after the app's launch. And regarding on how to ride them, he's pretty sure it's like riding the former despite their bird-like appearances.

Now the only thing missing right now is an opponent as he is supposed to have Chocobo race with someone. Eventually, he did find someone as he approaches the young woman while wearing a riding gear.]

Hello! I was hoping if I can borrow your time for a while.

[ladya]

[ Leveling a confused stare at the man who approached her, Aranea vows to keep an open mind before completely blowing him up. What might he be approaching her, to sell her a timeshare? ]

Uh, right. What’s on your mind?

[megabond]

I was hoping that if you're not busy, you can have a Chocobo race with me.

[A little blunt, but he hopes that she might accept his challenge.]

May [Grant a friend one wish]

[megabond]

[After he reads his bingo card, he realizes that one of these squares may look very interesting, namely that he can grant one of his friend a wish. Well, he doesn't know what Ainsley really wants and that he doesn't want to disturb her, so he does go with one other option.

After a phone call with May, he then waits for her to arrive right in front of his car parked in front of a sidewalk. If she manages to do so, Augustine smiles at the sight of an energetic girl.]

You made it! I'm sorry if I disturb you at this time.

[me_matey]

Hey, don't apologize for that. I try to make time for you no matter how busy it gets down at the beach. -And boy, was it busy, but something about the water made her feel ill at ease... she'd closed tours early that day.-

What's up, romeo? You didn't give me a lot of details over the phone.

[megabond]

[Well, he does have to give her the details when they meet up because he has to take care of Modeste first.]

Well, I grant your wish of swimming with the dolphins last February, so for today, how about I'll grant another one of your wishes?

Akira/OTA [For Stealing a Retrospec Item Square]

[megabond]

[Once he learns there might be more users who have the same squares as he has on his card, he decided to try helping them out filling out their cards. One of this is involving that they must steal an item that was sent by Retrospec and give it back.

Well, since there is a small condition like that, he doesn't mind that his items may be stolen. Yet, it may be a little embarrassing at the same time since he has to wear a "Please steal me" sign on his back just to get them some attention.

But since he is so focused on helping out, he doesn't even know one of the items that are available to steal is a Poke Ball, which he forgets to release Modeste beforehand.]

[maskreant]

[ How convenient? Akira has a steal an item square. He plans to return it to the poor soul, but for now he slips by and takes the pokeball with ease.

This should complete the square, right? He checks his phone and sees that it has filled in with a completed color... Just to make sure, he keeps a hold onto it for a bit, tossing it up and catching it—except he clicks on the middle button.

Here comes Garchomp.

Akira looks up at the giant Pokemon in dismay. what the hell?? ]

[megabond]

[If it's one thing Modeste doesn't like is that anyone but Augustine letting her out of her Poke Ball. Of course, her first impression doesn't make things better as she quickly roars in front of the young man's face.

Thankfully, he manages to hear Modeste's roar and realizes his mistake before he rushes in and defends the young man in question.]

Modeste, wait! This young man didn't mean any harm!

[Much to his relief, seeing her friend is enough for her to calm down.]

[surprising]

[ it's not as if he goes around stealing things often — or at all, actually. but if bingo demands it, then he must. at first, discerning which ones are retrospec items proves to be a challenge, but he soon catches sight of an unfamiliar... red and white ball. he puts two and two together with relative ease and swipes it.

...except that in the process of examining the strange ball, his finger quickly slips over the middle button, and out pops modeste, in all of her garchomp glory.

he winds up staring at her, wide-eyed but not entirely afraid? he's more mesmerized, actually. where is his sense of danger, gone ]

[megabond]

[Another roar, another embarrassing realization that he left Modeste in her Poke Ball again.

Unlike last time though, he manages to see what just happen and quickly steps in before his dragon roars at her latest robber.]

Oh no... I did it again...

I hope you don't mind a late tag in. PM me if you want any changes?

[mincingminuet]

[Well, okay. So when Pen sees someone who's literally just standing around wearing a sign. That's...really weird. But it's also incredibly convenient.

She reaches under her shirt and calls out her friend the alraune from his auracite and sends it over to pick this guy's pockets. It's quick, easy, a little tug and the doll-sized creature is scampering back across the square towards Pen. Who's just sitting on a bench like nothing happened.

A...strange ball. she rolls it over in her fingertips, and then taps it...and...]

Holy shit!?!

[It's a freaking dragon?!

She skitters to her feet and grabs the other piece of auracite she has, ready to summon up another monster to fight this thing if it proves hostile.]

[megabond]

[Here we go again. While Modeste is now glaring at her new captor in annoyance, Augustine quickly rushes in after seeing a bright light behind him.]

No, no, no, no, no, no...

Why is this keep happening?!

[prometheanflame]

[It's the professor. The one who brought a literal dragon to the pet show. The one who surely won't mind if his strange animal friend is borrowed for several minutes.

The dragon that is nowhere to be seen, despite the wide array of objects on display. It's like Augustine wants to be robbed. Mohammed walks up and picks the red-and-white ball, as that looks like the most otherwordly item, and walks away to stand in an alleyway.

...It's boring, but if the older man looks like he's panicking, he'll return it.]

[megabond]

[Well, Augustine doesn't mind that his Poke Ball is stolen for the sake of others' bingo game. But as Mohammed will notice, the ball starts to shake on its own.

Augustine, on the other hand, decides to find his "robber" to get his Poke Ball back as he walks into the alleyway.]

Toushiro [Share a memory you've never shared before with a stranger]

[megabond]

[After a few bingo activities, Augustine is now resting at cafe in Tisse as he is now enjoying a cup of iced latte and enjoying the simple scenery at the balcony. He can't rest easy about it though as he checks on his bingo card to see what other activities he will have to do to fill in the other squares.

Of course, when you find him at the cafe, he might be reading at a bingo square that mentions about sharing a memory.]

[toushiro]

[ toushiro also happens to be at the cafe in tisse today, a book in one hand and a cup of hot green tea in the other. he's also got his bingo card stuffed in his book somewhere for safe keeping, even if he's not really...eager to go about any of the things on his card at all.

he passes by augustine, who looks strangely familiar--toushiro wonders if he'd seen him around on the app--and can't help but notice the bingo card he's looking at.

toushiro stops for a moment in surprise. another retrospec user....his hunch was right.

don't mind an awkward little boy looking at your bingo card, augustine. ]

[megabond]

[It doesn't take long for the college professor to notice Toushiro's appearance behind him. Though Augustine isn't bothered by his presence, he is a little worried when the young man is looking at his bingo card. So before he can even try to wonder if he is also a Retrospec user, he might as well to greet him.]

Um, bonjour. Can I help you?

Sato [Go to the Towers and purchase something from Jim's registry]

[megabond]

[Augustine isn't a shopaholic-type and still doesn't trust Jim, but if this is for his bingo card, he just have to swallow his pride to finish this. Though, the real question right now is what he should buy from Jim's registry. Besides, most of these items in it are gag gifts, which is weird even for this guy's standards.

At any case, it might be wise that you may try to help a poor professor out. Besides, you're also searching for an item as well, right?]

[starfruitfrog]

[Sato's only a shopaholic were model-kits were involved and so having to buy gifts for Jim's registry just felt all different kinds of strange.


Some of those gifts were kind of neat, though. Like the bacon bandages that Sato was looking at right now. As he's putting them down, he nearly bumps into Augustine, backing away hurriedly.]

Sorry-

[Wait.]

You're here, too?

[megabond]

[Augustine's eyes widened in shock as he sees Sato in the Towers. The last time he saw him was that shrinking incident, so it makes sense regarding his reaction.]

Oh, Sato! I didn't expect you to be here, too.

Maggie [Build a sandcastle at the beach at least as tall as you]

[megabond]

[Summer is here and obviously, everyone is going to the beach for some sun and fun in the sand and water. Augustine, on the other hand, is here for the sand as he is somehow waiting for someone while wearing his summer-appropriate outfit. Of course, he brought a bucket and shovel for his next bingo activity he will do with that person.

Yet all that's left is to wait for that person.]

[storytelleroftime]

[And then said person arrives, fully prepared for the beach, with a shovel as well, and... a wheelbarrow? Yes, Maggie decided it was a great idea to come out with a wheelbarrow. Because she thought they would need one of those, for holding sand. Maggie brought a sand wheelbarrow. Yep. Great idea there.

But nonetheless, she flags him down eventually. She did take the time to look into this guy, just to get an idea of what he looks like. She heads over to him, and then once she's there gets straight down to business.]

"So how are we going to go about this?"

Ritsu [Have a surfing race]

[megabond]

[The next day after meeting Ritsu, Augustine is now at the beach again tackling on another bingo activity. Right now, he is paying the owner a fee on renting two surfboards, which are the requirements for this activity.

And once he obtains them, he waits for the young man to arrive.]

[strayknight]

[Ritsu looks really out of his element, he isn't a beach person and after being here once he is having a hard time believing he's here again.]

...You're here.
