Bingo/Other June Stuff Catchall! [OPEN]

[digthefuzz]

WHO: Kurt Wagner and Yooouuuu?!
WHERE: All around town!
WHEN: From July 3rd onwards... pretty much a catchall for the first half of the month
WHAT: Kurt's adventures as he attempts to fill out his bingo card and also has to deal with having a weird power, different from the weird power he was already getting used to.
WARNINGS: None yet, will update if necessary

A. You Know the Rules

[Kurt Wagner goes door to door, with a fancy-looking book of lyrics in hand. And he's also wearing a Santa hat. Because might as well go for full ridiculousness, right?

He'll knock on pretty much anyone's door, whether he knows them or not. And once they open? He'll sway in imitation of Rick Astley himself and begin to sing.]

We're no strangers to love...
You know the rules, and so do I!

[Yes, of course he's singing "Never Gonna Give You Up". Except that he's singing it in a style that actually sounds more like this song.

Of course, your character doesn't have to be the one answering the door. They can join if they want! Or try to file a complaint]

B. Classic Rock

[Kurt has made his way out to the lake located within Recolle Woods. And he's ready to practice some stone-throwing!

He picks up a rock with a smirk and tries throwing it right at the water! ...Except it proceeds to sink in without bouncing once.

After a few similar tries, Kurt groans and pulls at his hair in frustration.]

Aw, c'mon! It's always so easy on tv!

C. Role Models

[Even with all of the running around he's doing for this damn bingo game, Kurt still makes time for his first modeling photoshoot. And so, one morning you can find him outside a building in Tisse where modeling shoots happen. For once, Kurt is dressed in clothes that seem genuinely trendy, and he's even wearing a belt! But as the shoot's time draws closer, he looks at his reflection in his iphone and frets loudly]

Oh man, oh man... Come on, Kurt. You can do this. You can do this!

D. Wildcard

[Have something else in mind, or want to use Kurt for some different bingo slots, or just want to use some set-ups from the event log? Kurt can turn up pretty much anywhere around the city, so feel free to come up with a prompt, and/or contact me if you'd like to plot something out! My plotting comment is here and you can also find me on plurk at goreo!

I will also include some starter comments for some of the pre-plotted bingo squares and other any other closed prompts!]

Comments

[catsudon]

( the benefit to where he works is he has deals for the other two entertainment establishments, meaning when he shows up with roller skates, they're generic and cost him absolutely nothing. Yuri would have preferred roller blades, but he hadn't been asked, which is why he's hauling around shoes with twice as many wheels as they really need.

he lifts a hand to make a half assed wave at Fuzzy, lifting his skates off his shoulder to show them like some testimony to his being here for an agreed purpose. )

Ready to get your tail kicked?

( Fuzzy = tailed, rather than... anyone actually having a tail. Yuri grins, glad for a focused excuse to compete in something stupid he also feels like he could win. probably. he's only roller skated a few times, but it's not hard to balance, and he's got all these... unrelated skills that should translate! at least one percent. )

[digthefuzz]

[Hey. Where there's a wheel, there's a way.

Kurt grins as his rival shows up and waves back.]

Ha! I'd be ready for that, but that's something that would only happen in your dreams! [He's totally practiced his trash talk and everything.

Why would anyone even have a tail? Now that's just silly talk.]

If you're ready, then we can get this started. [He points towards the ice cream stand nearby.] We'll race to the end of the boardwalk and then back here. The loser has to buy ice cream for the winner! How's that sound, my dude?

[catsudon]

( his dreams are slightly more exciting than rollerskating, but he frowns in return then tosses his head, forcing his hair back off his forehead. he sits with a flourish, all grace as he folds down on the sidewall he's using to pull on the skates. they don't feel quite right, meaning he takes extra time adjusting the laces, pulling a few out to change how they lace up over his ankle. )

Sounds sweet. Flavour's winner's choice, agreed?

( loser is paying, not deciding the flavour of the treat. Yuri only glances up and fixes Kurt with a Look, hands still over his second skate, laces wrapped around his fingers. )

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt's just standing there with his skates already on, and he pauses a moment before he nods at Yurio's suggestion.]

Sure, sure. That sounds totally fine! [They can't let a loser sabotage the winner, after all.] An 'ice' suggestion!

[A beat.]

You almost ready?

gore i'm so sorry i disappeared for two weeks on the nose

[catsudon]

( he snorts, hard to say if it's in amusement (it is) or scoffing dismissal (it's also this). he looks down again and finishes lacing up, standing and testing the hold the skates have on his feet. all it takes is a gliding step forward to realise...

... this is entirely different from being on ice skates. which he knew, but now he Knows. not that he's about to back down. he twist himself around, wishing they were on rollerblades and pretending that everything is Just Fine. )

Ready. Who's calling the end of the race?

it's okay!

[digthefuzz]

Good question! I... didn't think that far.

[He points to a random bystander.]

Hey, you! Referee for us, man. You'll get a free autograph from yours truly!

<3

[catsudon]

( Random Bystander blinks and beams, recognising Kurt with a great big grin and enthusiastic agreement. which may or may not work in Yuri's favour, but whatever, he'll just. do his darndest to win. )

Ooookay, how the heck does that even work?

( says the guy who only learned about Kurt's long-running show after meeting him. ah...

he has a better feel for moving on skates in the time it takes for him to line up at their starting point, expression set into something serious, competitive. this isn't anything he cares about as a general rule, but he cares about winning.

ergo, as soon as go hits, he's off, skating forward and shoving his wishes for rollerblades to the back of his mind. this is just like running??? on wheels???

(not really.) )

<3!

[digthefuzz]

[Nailed it! Kurt just gives Yurio a confident grin.]

It works the way it just did!

[And then he prepares himself to get going! And that 'go' is declared... and he starts skating forward! A bit clumsily, but he knows what he's doing at least?

A number of confused people clear the way for them to advance forward!]

[catsudon]

( while one older man simply stands still, holding his fishing pole and scowling as both guys go skating around him, either side. they're both doing decently for people who don't make a hobby of this, though Yuri's getting a sense for how good his roll is and even picks up speed, when

a dog comes bounding across in front of him, barking, and Yuri's literally tackling a Rhodesian ridgeback and hitting the ground with a whump and yelp of the beautiful, brown furred dog. )

[digthefuzz]

[He's trying his best! Around the fisherman, and then suddenly a wild dog appears.]

Whoa!

[While Yurio goes down with the dog, Kurt makes a sharp turn to go around them. ...But he feels bad about taking advantage of this, so as he goes around he reaches a hand to pet the dog's head and lure it into chasing him instead, so that Yurio can get back on his feet.]

Every dog has his day! [but once Yuri is back on his feet, Kurt will try to speed ahead!]

[catsudon]

( the dog takes pets from Kurt to soothe its wounded happiness at having bowled itself and Yuri over; Yuri gets back on his feet with a glare at the owner (not the dog) and a mouthed off comment about keeping an eye on animals in public, what if he'd been a motorcyclist or something?

before he can get pulled into an argument, he seems to remember wait: he's here, on skates, and THERE GOES KURT? Yuri curses and bolts after him, trying to make up for lost time! )

[digthefuzz]

[Well, Kurt can't argue with the beef he has with the dog's owner.

But he can taunt Yuri as he skates ahead! He turns his head and laughs.]

What's wrong? Aren't you enjoying eating my dust?

[Except then as he looks ahead again, he ends up having to swerve quickly to narrowly dodge a pole, cutting off his momentum.]

[catsudon]

( Yuri laughs briefly as he catches up and temporarily overtakes Kurt, having finally found a rhythm that works as long as he's not too concerned with the scraped up state of his palms or what he figures has happened to one thigh. oh well. he's had worse. )

Whose dust, Fuzzy?

( getting close to the halfway point, where Yuri strikes upon the next challenge: turning around in a relatively narrow space to then switch direction and momentum. how does he handle this?

skating up to the railing to plant his hands on it and leap, using the toe stop to bounce up and around, switching grip to come slamming back down on the ground facing the opposite direction. game on! )

[digthefuzz]

Hey, no fair! [He says as if prevailing against him in general is against the rules. He trusts his best to push himself forward, and then they reach the railing.

Kurt turns himself around at the railing, but in a much less graceful manner, costing him even more of the lead. But even so, he presses forward in giving pursuit.]

It's not over yet!!

[catsudon]

( Yuri laughs, just briefly, since he agrees: this isn't over yet. It's not a sure win, and he's built for speed in particular things, not as a whole. It's even worse when there's that darn dog again, this time running at his side with an owner calling out and a leash dragging along the ground as the dog keeps pace with him and Kurt, barking, barking, so excited. )

Heel? Stop!

( the dog instead leaps up and at Yuri, who manages to barely avoid the crash, reflexively reaching out to catch the dog and ending up with a burning handful of leash.

and then getting pulled hard to the side toward Kurt, the dog continuing its happy rampage. such fun! so much play time! )

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt can't help but laugh more at this one, with the sudden arrival of the dog.]

Ha! I guess we have a new contender!

[He wants to take this chance to get ahead, but at the same time, it looks like there's a rest that Yuri and/or the dog could end up colliding into him too, so he instead focuses on trying to move away from them.]

Easy there, my friend!

[catsudon]

( Yuri manages to yank on the dog's leash hard enough to veer also away from Kurt, but then the dog's taking off running and looking back and yipping and the owner is making sad noises about Benji Krishna (the dog, apparently) and Yuri's desperately trying to keep up. )

I thought leash laws were supposed to help prevent shit like this? Bad dog! Very bad dog!

( ecstatic, the dog keeps running on, though he veers to the side again and near yanks Yuri off their chosen runway to a side street. )

[digthefuzz]

[Kurt guffaws.]

I guess these laws are really off the leash!

[Kurt keeps on skating on, once more feeling conflicted about whether or not to take advantage of Yuri's dog problems. Ultimately, he opts to slow down a bit while that gets straightened out.]

Need a hand?

[catsudon]

I'd settle for a dog treat? Heel!

( happily... the dog starts to slow down by immediately turning and leaping back at Yuri, who manages to catch him in his arms and fumblingly keep skating MUCH MORE SLOWLY WITH ARMS FULL OF DOG )

I'm a cat person. A cat person, I'm freaking telling you! Stop licking me!

[digthefuzz]

[He can't help but snort and laugh some more at Yuri's predicament.]

Sorry buddy, but sometimes you just don't get your purr-fect match!

[Still, he decides to try to spare him some mercy. He slows down to grab a loose stick and tries to throw it to the side while shouting to the dog.]

Fetch, boy!!
