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. ]

Comments

Togusa's face spreads into a wide grin and he laughs. "This. Month. 'Prank an authority figure.' Those words have been the cause of so much chaos."

He has to put his coffee down so he can start counting on his fingers. "All started with some chili chocolate, that was low-key, and Matsuoka immediately apologized for it. Told him I knew some people who might actually like it."

"Bucket of water trap while I was trying to fill out my own bingo card. Play a game of cops and robbers, turned into a watergun fight. Was Tatsuma, he's just a kid, so of course that was no trouble."

"Emil," and he immediately starts laughing again. "I still cannot figure out how he did it. I go out there, and my entire squad car is just filled with balloons. I know I locked that door! I even told him not to tell me, it was too funny to spoil." He's not done, but he reaches for his coffee after that one.

There are nobody more suitable for that position than you people.

[ He grins at him and laughs, and shifts a little further back on the couch. ]

You've been busy. Busier than that?

[standalonehuman]

A long drink out of his coffee, and Togusa shakes his head before swallowing. "Nope. Keeping on the food theme, Barnes made me a sandwich himself! It was so sweet, until I noticed he'd used peanut butter instead of mustard." Even the memory of that one is disgusting.

There's one he won't mention. One he is going to try to forget ever happened. Hell, he's already even forgiven the three idiots involved, but isn't ready to talk to them again yet.

So, something happier. "But there's one," Togusa holds up a single finger, "where I haven't caught who did it yet. I still declare you the winner for effort," Togusa insists. "But there is someone out there who gets the runner-up prize."

"I come in to work, and my desk looks totally normal. I didn't even notice a thing out of place. But every. Single. Report. Every folder, everything I had sitting out? Cat pictures. Snuck in at random intervals, so I had to go read back through everything to make absolutely sure I got them all!"

[ There is no need to stifle his laughter, but he does bend forward with it. He shakes his head as he rubs a few tears of laughter from his eyes. ]

That’s brilliant. What did you do with the pictures once you found them all? If you did find them all.

[standalonehuman]

"Kept them. Evidence," Togusa insists. "Somebody is trying really hard to frame Professor Izunia. It was his cat." He has to laugh for a second. "But I can guarantee he didn't do it. There are lines even that man doesn't cross, and tampering with paperwork is one of them. I'm leaning towards his nephews." The most likely suspects.

[wordcarvings]

[ The laughter is not stopping, but he does tip over on his side as he his pillow. ]

So you’re treating it like a case. [ He manages after a while. ] But what if the dear professor did it because you never would suspect him of it?

[standalonehuman]

"Oh, the double-fake-out," Togusa leans back in his seat, and looks very amused, himself, as he thinks it over. "There's still a problem with that idea. Although in principle, you're correct, don't put that past Ardyn."

"But by pranking me, for bingo, the wording on the square was to 'play a prank on an authority figure.' He would be tacitly admitting that I am actually an authority figure if he did that. Now, can Ardyn's ego take that blow, is the question?"

[wordcarvings]

[ Oh, he’s right about that. ]

I suppose that is harder to make him do that.

[ He might not want to admit to something like that. ]
