[toushiro]

WHO: Toushiro + others + you!
WHERE: All over
WHEN: July
WHAT: Bingo shenanigans + potentially more
WARNINGS: dumb

OPEN: Stardust ice skating rink
[ maybe you've decided to visit the ice skating rink on this hot summer day! makes sense, right? what doesn't make sense is a completely white-haired boy pacing on the side of the building, staring at something in his hands. he looks...completely pensive about this, whatever it may be, and it's clear that he's not exactly here to ice skate.

regulars may recognize him, as he comes here at least once a month--and he's pretty good at ice skating, too. to all others, however, he just looks shady as fuck. ]

OPEN: after the theft
[ outside of either a) the stardust, b) tachibana's book store, or c) the towers, in plain sight, there's a wild orca leaning against the building with its arms folded across its chest.

that's it. it's just leaning there. not moving, not saying anything. it's just there.

> approach? ]

OPEN: wildcard
[ toushiro's bingo card is here! please feel free to take a look and post for any open prompt you'd like. <3 i'll be making separate top-levels for those i have plans with as well. you can pp me at amplitude for any plotting! ]

shuji - paint a portrait

[toushiro]

[ after hitsugaya's out of the stupid orca suit, he passes through a nearby park on the way home. it's a shortcut and he can cut through some roads quicker this way.

in the corner of his eye, however, is something...familiar--no, someone. someone he'd much rather avoid if given a choice.

though it's hard when he's literally walking right in front of shuji. there's no way shuji wouldn't see him, right? well...toushiro's just going to pretend like he doesn't see anyone at all. ]

[thesettingsun]

[Someone familiar, who happens to have an entire set of paints and an easel.]

Toushiro! Hey, Toushiro, have you got a minute? Or five?

[He doesn't look like he's plotting anything nefarious... Surely a person can call out to their acquaintance in the park when he sees them?]

[toushiro]

[ oh god. he's been spotted--toushiro stops and pauses a little, before slowly turning to face shuji. ]

...What is it.

[thesettingsun]

Stand still long enough for me to paint your portrait? It's for bingo and it won't take long.

[It also won't be very good, but Shuji doesn't have to mention that, right?]

[toushiro]

...I guess I have a few minutes.

[ but uh.

he was kind of an unnecessary douche to shuji a few weeks ago? so...he'll just. stand with his arms crossed, sort of dreading what's about to happen. ]

Outside the towers

[frisyr]

[ This wasn't here earlier... Emil goes to look, maybe they're doing a sports tie in for a tournament coming up? He approaches and starts feeling the fabric of the hoodie...

Tug Tug... ]

[toushiro]

Tch-

[ a noise escapes his mouth, and he's about to say something in annoyance, but he holds back at the last second. he can't have anyone knowing it's him! he won't give his identity away.

so, still leaning against the wall, he simply gives a nod.

yes? ]

[frisyr]

[ The mannequin moved and Emil jumps back. ]

Sorry, didn't realize there was a person in there. They make you do this for work? What's... even the promotion going on?

[toushiro]

[ made him do this for work....you know, that's not a bad lie, but he'd rather not be even more at risk from being banned from the rink than he already is.

he shrugs. then, in a quiet voice: ]

Bingo.

[frisyr]

...Oh.

[ Duh. ]

So... what, do you have to stand out here like this? Or is there something else involved?

--You're not gonna prank me, right?

surf race

[alienates]

[ finding people to do the bingo cards with has been a challenge, especially for the stupider entries. but once you find someone with a matching square it thankfully becomes slightly less shitty.

so, here they are. at the beach. they probably had to borrow surfboards or something. karkat has never surfed in his life so this is going to be terrible. ]

So. Do you have any idea what the fuck you're doing.

[toushiro]

[ they definitely had to borrow surfboards because, really, this boy does not know the first thing when it comes to surfing and has never tried it before in his entire life.

but here they are.

two clueless boys getting ready for a surfing race. this is going to be absolutely terrible. ]

Nope. Do you?

[alienates]

No. I hope you have a will setup because we are going to eat shit and die.

[ at least... the waves don't look that big? that probably means there's less of a chance of them injuring themselves, or worse, embarrassing themselves. ]

We might as well get this over with.

[toushiro]

I told my... [ he pauses ] brother to tell my mother I love her, if that counts.

[ no he didn't but the sentiment is there. well...they can say they tried, at least???

toushiro sets his surfboard in the water.

it's facing the wrong way.

he sits on it. ]

I would ask if you're ready, but I don't think either of us are.

[alienates]

[ he was about to go in with it pointing the proper way, but he sees how toushiro sits on it. as karkat has no idea what the fuck he is doing, he

switches it around and sits down on it the way toushiro is. ]

How are we doing this anyway? If it's a race we need a... finish line or whatever.

KOUTAROU: chocobo race/steal an item

[toushiro]

[ toushiro again finds himself at the park--this time it's the one with all the chocobos running about in a pen, where you can rent a chocobo for the day. he's never been on one before? and the last time he encountered one it tried to attack him, so.

but these are apparently gentle creatures. and...he does need to clear one thing off of his bingo card.

he's super unsure about this.

if koutarou's in the area, he'll find a white-haired boy staring a little too pensively at the chocobo herd. ]

[wordcarvings]

[ Koutarou often visited various parks, either to get away from all the impressions, or go get more of them, but always to draw. He had been drawing the chocobo’s this time around, or, at least, he had been trying to. Because he had been wearing the outfit Retrospec sent him, including a necklace that really just kept getting in the way.

When he looks up from his sketches he notices a young man staring at the birds. He’s not very far off, so; ]

Is everything alright?

[toushiro]

[ ah. someone's caught him staring... he turns around at the sound of the voice, and this boy is very much looking at toushiro so he knows he's being spoken to. toushiro sighs. ]

Fine. Just...thinking.

[ he looks back to the birds, and then back to koutarou, and he does this one or two more times so it's pretty obvious something's up. ]

...Have you ridden a chocobo before?

[wordcarvings]

[ Wasn't someone going to notice him eventually? Perhaps not, but it wasn't unlikely to happen. ]

Thinking?

[ About what?

He shakes his head though, a little confused. ]

No, I haven't.

[toushiro]

I need to have a chocobo race with someone.

[ he's never ridden one either? so they're in the same boat. this is going to go terribly. ]

Don't ask. I just need to, if you're up for it.

AKECHI: beach

[toushiro]

[ toushiro honestly hates that he's had to go to the beach so much but

here we are. at the beach again, though it's at a time when the sun is close to setting and he's okay with that. it's a little cooler than usual. still hot though, and toushiro's biting on a watermelon popsicle from the popsicle stands when akechi shows up. he should be easy to spot, with his white hair and short stature and all. a very hard person to miss. ]

[twostringsonebow]

[Boy with white hair, boy with white hair-- ah

ah is that him. It must be. Goro lingers for a moment, then approaches. Holy shit, Toushiro and him have a fucking height difference.]

Um, Hitsugaya was it? [like he hadn't stared at the name on retrospec to remember it entirely too well] Or would you prefer Toushiro?

[Shouto wanted to be called by his first name too...]

[toushiro]

[ the height difference is pretty huge. probably. he's 4'11". ]

Hitsugaya's fine.

[ he only lets a select few people call him toushiro with no complaints. ]

Was I supposed to bring anything?

[twostringsonebow]

[Considering Goro's a sweet 5'10" it really is.]

Nothing but the most embarrassing stories you can think about Silver! I wasn't aware he had a brother... thinking about it, there isn't a lot I do know about him despite the years we've known each other, but I guess it's the same on his end.

[toushiro]

[ y i k e s

anyway. when akechi mentions that he hadn't known silver had a brother...something in toushiro's chest starts to sting. more than he's about to let on to a total stranger. ]

...Right.

[ embarrassing stories. okay. ]

As if Silver himself isn't embarrassing enough.
