open! (and some closed prompts)

WHO: Viktor and you!!
WHERE: All around Recolle
WHEN: Sometime in July, you tell me when
WHAT: Bingo! (and other things! a catch-all post)
WARNINGS: None!



☆ open: spying is hard (aka the center square of his bingo card!

If you happen to be at Recolle Square while the sun is still out on this strategically unspecified day (take your pick!), you might run into a rather unusual situation!

a
[ Someone in a dog suit is standing next to a park bench and handing out flyers with a dog picture and an inspirational quote. However, upon closer inspection, it looks like he's paying more attention to a man sitting on another nearby bench than to what seems to be his actual job. There's SO MANY flyers on the bench that it's obvious that he's doing a terrible job handing them out.

Additionally, some uncute child snuck up on him at some point, and stole a bunch of those flyers for his friends to play with. So now there's papers on the ground all around Recolle Square, and this person is to blame. Except he hasn't noticed. You can be the one to tell him. I mean... Someone should...
]

b
[ If you drop by later that day, the flyer problem is gone! But you might notice that the dog suit person seems to be trying to point their phone at a couple sitting on that bench. Not suspicious at all, right?

Spoilers: this was supposed to be quick, but he's not being very successful. His paws make everything hard. And this is the third time his phone falls-- oh. Was that a crack? It was a pretty loud noise, followed by what was probably a swear word in Russian. Whoops!
]

c
[ If you're there shortly before sunset, you might catch him as he takes off the head of his dog suit and rests on the bench with a sigh now that there's no one sitting on that other bench anymore. He really shouldn't be taking this off this here, he should head back so that no one can see him in this pathetic state. His hair is a mess and he's a fashion emergency situation in too many senses... He'd really, really hate it if anyone saw him like this. But at this point, he just seems relieved to be able to breathe and rest. It's been a rough day. Hopefully it won't get even worse! ]

[ Having to spend money to get something for Jim of all people seems like a cruel joke, but he's already decided to do try for a blackout bingo, so here he is, hoping there's something cheap on the list so that he can at least have that small satisfaction.

Either way, Viktor doesn't usually go to Towers, and every single attendant is busy right now. So now there's a tall and now silver-haired man looking at the map of the department store, trying to figure out where to go from here without wasting too much time... Making sense of it is harder than he thought it'd be, especially when all he's thinking about is his dog waiting outside the building and what he'll have for dinner tonight. Maybe he should just ask another customer and get it over with.

[ A date at the beach! That's what will happen today, even though Viktor arrived at the beach early to work on a 1,80cm-tall sand structure on his own. He entertained himself with some music playing on his phone while he played fetch with Makkachin while working on the pointless pyramid. All in all, he could think of a number of worse ways to spend a Sunday morning.

Time passes, and by the time Yuuri is supposed to get there he's adding the finishing touches to the sandcastle (it doesn't look much like a sandcastle but hey, no one said it had to be a masterpiece). He's been here for a few hours by now. Makkachin is resting under the beach umbrella, but Viktor isn't anymore because the sun moved and moving his things seemed like too much effort. God bless sunblock.

★ closed to: Togusa

Viktor and Togusa agreed to meet up this month, and Viktor suggested they do so at the Zoo. It seemed like a good place to avoid casual eavesdropping, and given the nature of what they would be talking about, that was probably for the best.

Besides, Viktor had a bingo slot to fill at the Zoo-- and he saw the bingo game as part of his investigation, so killing two birds with one stone seemed like an good idea.

That's why he's here now, waiting for Togusa next to a big tree by the entrance while catching up with Retrospec on his phone.

Zoo

It looks casual enough to go here (see, Drake, this is how you do secret meetings!), and this is one spot that has definitely seen an uptick in business, thanks to Retrospec. Togusa is technically here for business, but he still has a warm smile for Viktor when he approaches and raises a hand.

"Good to see you again." He just couldn't get away with wearing a jacket, due to the heat, so he is carrying a file folder out in the open. Can't avoid bringing in some physical evidence that Viktor needs to see.

"Not a problem," Togusa says as he looks Viktor over. H-unh. "I see you caught the plague from the Narukamis," Togusa gestures to Viktor's hair. A joke the twins had been making, when the both of them had a very similar physical change happen to them. "Got to be careful or I might be next."

He walks along a few steps before he can ask his next question. "Anything else- new, recently?" Togusa hasn't been personally experiencing some of the changes that have swamped other people, but he's been there to try to help cope with some barely imaginable things, this past month.

[What was that? He hopes the day doesn't get worse?? NO SUCH LUCK--

Except he's actually at least a little lucky. It'd probably be better if no one happened across him at all, but Kiyomitsu "being cute is of Utmost Importance" Kashuu is likely among the best people to meander by if anyone had to. He gets it, okay. Sometimes, you just have to rip off your stupid outfit at the end of a long day, even if your hair is stuck to your head in fifty unflattering ways.

So he pauses as he walks by behind the bench, recognizing a messy head of hair in need of saving before he recognizes Viktor himself.

And after a second:]


...I have a comb and a hand-mirror, if you need 'em.

[passing through the park is pleasant enough when the sun is lower and there's a breeze passing through. but so much has been happening that she decides to go slower than she usually would, giving herself some time to take it all in. for a few moments, she can pretend like there isn't a multitude of things concerning and bothering her with the world around. the week is over, and it's another week she can chalk up as everything going mostly right.

someone yells, to her left - a child, playing a ball game - but the instinct to look is so automatic that her head swivels to see...

and because she isn't quite looking out where she's going, it means she ends up walking directly into someone else. whoops.]


-Oh, I am so sorry, are you alright?

[wait...has she seen this person before? their face, somewhere...]

[ not only having to call a stranger, but also having a full conversation with them is definitely easier said than done...

still, he enters in a random number and hits 'call' — and once he hears someone pick up on the other end, he pipes up rather cheerfully. ]


Hello! I'm Rindou.

[personal profile] surprising 2017-07-19 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Viktor!

[ at least he doesn't sound bothered — that's a plus! there's a lull on rindou's end for a while, before he speaks again. ]

...How are you?

[ nailed it ]

[ once he hears 'retrospec user', he just breathes the biggest sigh of relief, answering promptly. ]

Glad you caught on! I don't know what's good to talk about with a stranger, though — like... the weather, or something?
sharplydressed: (yeah about that)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-19 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Jim's probably whispering you're welcome like an asshole from wherever he is...

But Kiyomitsu will nod once, reaching for his shoulder bag to start digging around in it. He's got one (1) clean comb and a very nice pocket mirror for Viktor to use! Gotta be all about that aesthetic.]


Here.

[Handing them over... And after a second's pause:]

Sooo... Outta curiosity, is this a bingo thing? Or did you just get stuck on mascot duty somehow?

[prompto is messaging away at his phone. an action that is not the most dangerous, but one which does, in the end, cause him to be sort of blind regarding his surroundings. he moves around at a slow pace, barely taking notice of people and things in front of him]

[so it shouldn't be surprising when he looks up for a second and ends up with a map of the department store all over his face.]


Awheuhhh!

[he was attacked!]

[ Yuuri arrives at noon, as agreed, but not without a lot of effort. Getting a dozen pool noodles in and out of an Uber is no easy task, let alone carrying (dragging?) them across the beach until he spots Viktor. He's grateful to the sand structure for serving as a marker, especially since they never agreed where at the beach they'd meet.

Slowly, but surely, he makes his way towards the other man; sweat already starting to wet the back of his neck.

[ Getting confirmation from both parties is nice and being greeted by his favorite doggo is even nicer, but even as a skilled dancer it's hard for Yuuri to keep his balance when he's trying to wave back at Viktor and Makkachin just so happens to pounce him. ]

Ahh—hold on Makkachin, I'll greet you properly in a moment—w-wait, no! Please don't—! Waaugh!

[ Aaaand, down he goes. ]

[personal profile] katsudonfatale 2017-07-21 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yuuri, resigned to his fate, is just lying on the sand, letting Makkachin give him kisses everywhere... business as usual, really. ]

I wasn't sure how many I'd need for it to count so—ahh... I might have gone a little overboard—no, Makkachin! That tickles!

[ Sits up, then reaches behind himself for his backpack that is now... covered in sand. He shakes it off as best as possible, but lbr sand is sand and it will now probably live in his backpack for months. ]

How long have you been here?
