WHO: Koutarou & some people, and also you
WHERE: All over
WHEN: Month of July
WHAT: Bingo etc
WARNINGS:

[ An entry for collected prompts for various people. But it’s also a catch-all and wildcard option, and you can do any starter of your own that you want. Or you can shoot me a message either through pm or

hailingjavelin There are some open prompts below in the entry, and his bingo card is over here. ]

Park; all month
[ At random points in the month, Koutarou goes to the park to sketch. He sits under a tree, or on a bench, or in the middle of the grass, and as time passes he might end up filling the one he’s working in and puts it aside to use the pages in another. ]

The Inkwell; Primarily 3-8
[ Every night during his sister’s so called “visit” he goes to The Inkwell. It’s not like he gets drunk because his tolerance is seriously high, and he knows to be careful so he won’t get a hangover. Of course he’s sketching again, but that doesn’t need to stop you. He’ll look up if he’s addressed, and sometimes he’ll also pause to order another drink or stare out blankly ahead of him, where he sits at the counter. ]

Wildcard
[ Whatever you like. Grab one of the not-taken prompts (depending, you might want to shoot me a message; or write if you want the square in the subject line), or if we have anything planned, post a comment here, or if you just want someone to throw one of your own squares at. I can set something up as well, if you'd prefer that. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[His pause makes Shouto pause and size him up for a moment.]

... Are you okay?

Hm?

[ Oh, he spaced out for a little while there. ]

Yes, don't worry. You don't happen to know what we're supposed to do with this knowledge?

I think we're supposed to trade it back? Somehow.

[...? It's not like he got any instructions and it doesn't seem like Koutarou has either.]

Should we talk about ourselves?

That somehow is the biggest mystery at the moment.

[ You know, beyond the constant mystery of "what the hell is even going on". ]

Do you think that would help?

[The only answer Shouto has is: too much, and that explains nothing.]

I don't know what will. But it can't hurt to try?

[ It really doesn't, and that's pretty frustrating. ]

I suppose that it can't. Is there anything in particular that you would like to know?

Do you like catching bugs? ... Sorry, I don't know what to ask.

Catching bugs? [ Not entirely what he meant but, okay. ] Well, I guess we could try it if you'd like? Though I don't really know much about it, to be honest.

There was that memory about bug catching? Or maybe it was only cicadas...

Yes, it was that... I haven't remembered more about that, though, and I think it was only cicadas. I don't really have any real life experience with it, so to speak.

... I don't think that worked.

What else can we do?

No, I guess it didn't. Mmm, you haven't heard anything from anyone else who have already accomplished this endeavor, mission, thing, [ what are words ] by any chance?

I think somebody named Ryoji had something like this happen.

But I don't know if he turned it back or not.

Is that so?

[ Ryoji-kun had it happen to him? Was that thing he had asked Koutarou to sketch from that, or his won, then? ]

I see... We could potentially ask, but knowing Retrospec, it might not matter how he managed to get it to happen, if it did.

He got Dave's time powers, I think? Or he developed his own. It's hard to say.

It's true. It could be different from pair to pair. Maybe some kind of physical contact would do it?

Yeah, it could have been either.

[ Physical contact? ]

Like a hug?

[ He smiles. Well, it's a valid suggestion, though some people might find it embarrassing. ]

... Maybe we should work up to hugs.

[He let Cutter hug him, but they're actually friends. It only makes sense to let him.

He'll hold out his hand.]

[ There's nothing wrong with hugs, but he can see why someone might not want to hug a practical stranger. ]

Yes, probably.

[ He clasps Shouto's hand with his.

Hello, handshake. ]

[Ah, there it is. The memory of him looking over an incredibly long list of hero agencies...

Is he really that good at this sort of stuff or is there another reason for it...]

... I think that one worked.

Yeah...

[ Sorry, give him a few. That memory that he didn't know before Shouto mentioned it shakes him up a bit. And that's a father he doesn't know at all, on top of it.

He clears his throat. ]

It seems as if it did, yes.

[Shouto might be a bit oblivious to things, but he does notice the way Koutarou seems to take a few seconds to himself.]

... Are you alright?

Hm, yeah, I’m alright, thank you. It’s, just a little surprising, that’s all.

[ Not that they managed to switch back, but the memory. ]

... The memory or the switching back?

[ . . . . . ]

The memory...

It seemed like a nice one.
