A thousand times, thousand times [OPEN/CLOSED PROMPTS]

[matchbreaker]

WHO: Elda, Toushiro, Silver, others? OPEN/SOME PROMPTS
WHERE: All over the place (see below)
WHEN: Throughout July
WHAT: Elda is working hard to fulfill her bingo cards through the month and spending time with her family!
WARNINGS: ??? None planned

[ There are open prompts in the body of this post, however I am open to arranging some closed/planned prompts for us! If you want to get those, please hit up my bingo overflow request here or contact me at bigdamnhero ]

Elda's Bingo Card

I) Mask or Menace
[ you know what Elda found earlier today in Silver's room? a really fucking creepy mask. And you know what the 5' forty year old has decided? That's something that he must've gotten from Retrospec, and if it's something in his room... he can knock it off her bingo card by borrowing it! It also manages to block the sun out from her eyes fairly effectively which is nice.

And she...

Decides to knock out a second dare. So if you happen to be in her neighborhood, guess what? You've got a woman in a creepy mask making to chase you while making Velociraptor noises. That's not scary at all, right? ]

II) Twister or Danger
[ So the one dare (other than the center, which she's trying to work up the courage to ask Wesker out on) which has her the most perplexed is the Twister one. There's no way that this will be not embarrassing. So...

So she's just going to do it.

Heading to a public park, the woman lays out a twister mat and then puts up a sign which says: ]

PLAY TWISTER, EARN $50

[ There, that'll do. She'll be standing here in yoga attire with her hand on her hip, waiting for takers.

... Also sunglasses because it's day but hey we'll cross that bridge when we get there. ]

III) Business or Bust
[ And then... the T-shirts. She needs to sell five of these. Sooooo.... that means that she needs to get out there, make some, and then sell them. Eschewing any idea of making particularly complicated T-shirts or getting them professionally done, she instead simply takes three sharpies (black, pink, and what she assumes was blue or green) and makes an "I <3 Retrospec" set. The I is in black, as is Retrospec, the heart is of course pink, and then retrospec has a double layer of Gray over it.

She makes ten, and then sets up a little booth outside of a convenience store (that... might be breaking a law, oops) and... offering to sell these for seven dollars each. Want to buy this??? ]

Come on, take one. It's cheap.

IV) Wildcard or Overflow
[ Okay so in addition to the pre-planning above if you want to belatedly hit up the prompts I put up on the event post here on this log I'm okay with that too! I'll be overflowing my captchaed threads in over to consolidate them somewhere. There'll be a top heading for that. But if you want to do any other random thing I'm also good for that. ]

[ Our Story So Far

She shakes her head at that. ]

Oh eeeesh, if it's that bad for you I hope you're not dehydrated. Got your water bottle, right?

[ Because wow, if he's that bad off, she can't help but be concerned. You know in that... way that only someone with kids sounds like just by accident. ]

Emil

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

... Sit down? Oh jeez, does she look that bad off? She laughs a little at the request, waving it off with a dismissive gesture and putting a smile back on her lips, albeit a somewhat awkward one.

She does wonder what was up with that boat. ]

Oh please, that's something that didn't even happen to me-me. I'm not about to drown in trauma enough to need to sit over it. Though your concern is very gentlemanly.

Ann

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

Elda looks... skeptically at the other. ]

That'd like the oldest possible line for it, you know. Well, I guess it's a little newer to use it on an older woman when you're a girl, but still! [ She waves a hand ] What, did someone dare you?

Toushiro

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far.

She frowns a little at that. She knows of course and respects the boy's tastes and space as best she can. She has given him everything he could ever want. Or so she hopes. She's at very least worked hard to be the best of all possible moms. Moments like this... as he's gotten older, she's been less sure of herself, and she's hoped that it's not a blood thing.

She reaches out and takes his hands in hers. ]

You're a very sweet boy, Toushiro. I know you can be awkward with people, but don't worry about it so much.

Dave

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

YEAH sure is... really slow. She's not sure how to make these things go that faster but maybe it's for the best. Spurring the bird seems cruel what with the wings. ]

Elizabeth

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

So that means... Yeah, it could mean... ]

Nah, never did! But I did meet a girl who told me all about it a few months ago! Didn't really do World of Statecraft much, but she was all about this other game... played a cat or something.

Aranea

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

... Oh wow, that's close! That's close enough that while Elda doesn't quite lean back, she does sort of hesitate a little like she might do that or might just shove the other. Even if that would be a little silly in light of them both being adults and in swimsuits. Like some sort of show or something no one needs to have.

... But.

She chuckles a little at the first part, and sits up straighter at the second. Her eyes are still teared up from the initial plain. Pinching the bridge of her nose she tilts up the sunglasses to work a finger under and wipe them off.

"Casually," she gives her test question, ]

Can you tell me what a horse is?

[ Only people on Retrospec remember what horses are. It was so weird for her to remember that the world hadn't always had chocobos a few months ago. ]

John

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

She blinks at that, and then laughs, waving a hand dismissively. ]

Maybe if they don't have a good head on their shoulders! If you're privileged the least you can do is try not to make everything more complicated for everyone else.

[ Well then she'll be picking out ... Strawberry. Strawberry sounds good tonight, right? ... Oh wait, no. Cherry Garcia. That sounds good, they can get one of those mini tub things for him. ]

Akinobu

[matchbreaker]

[ Out Story So Far ]

-What?!

[ . . . No, that was distracting. She got pulled into a combo instantly before she could think to cancel it and loses a good half her health bar before she even gets her barrings again. She's not winning this ]

O-oh! I'm sorry! I assumed you were more like twelve!

Adamska

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

Adamska -- wait, no wonder her looked a little familiar. Her eyes widen a little behind her sunglasses, and she resists the urge to take in some breath. To go and... make a scene would be bad and the man probably wouldn't appreciate that, right? But she thinks about Sons of Liberty, No Country for Old Dogs. Hell, Young Guns. And she's resisting that urge long enough to reign herself in.

Which is for the best. Okay. A goddamn movie star just kissed her hand. It's not like she's never met an actor before! But he's... classic? It's hard to think of someone more classic than him who's still working today.

Okay. No. Okay. ]

-It really is, isn't it! It's got that quaint feel of a smaller city than it is without really losing that much for it. It's pretty much the perfect size. Not to mention all the community events that people put on.

[ ... That was rambling ]

Thank you, though. It's actually an old family name... though I suppose even that's a little strange, given the Markers are English as far back as anyone can trace.

Sigrun

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far

She didn't think that per se, but it also seemed like the polite thing to do. Besides, a fiver isn't no big thing for a grown woman like her. ... Err. Well, a wealthy grown woman. She hums and... Oh- ]

She's one of the people involved with running Retrospec. Mr. Halloway's tried proposing to her before now, so a lot of the users know about her to some extent.

Amelia

[matchbreaker]

[ Out Story So Far

And Elda...

Well, she's annoyed, but that sort of brash power to you sort of movement in a woman who as visibly close to her age can't help but make her laugh a little. She puts a hand on her hip and actually slides to one side. ]

Sheesh, you've got a real sense of entitlement, don't you, sister? I'm not sure I've seen you at too many galas, have I?

Fuuka

[matchbreaker]

[ Our Story So Far ]

Well, that one sounds like it doesn't have to be a Retrospec one...

[ So she can go to her actual childhood, or some actual memory from her past. She brushes back some hair, smiles, and ah. That'll do. ]

So why don't I tell you about the whirlwind romance I had out from under Daddy's nose when I was your age?

Family Beach Night (Toushiro and Silver)

[matchbreaker]

[ So Elda's been going out a lot during the day because she is a normal and reasonable person who goes out during the day. But... at the same time, the night is much easier for the woman now. Not only does that mean there's less people to stare at her newly purple hair, but it also means that her light sensitive red eyes aren't incredibly irritated by everything.

And so she coaxed her boys to go out with her to the Peach Beach at night. Specifically, they got in the car past sundown and probably made it there somewhere around ten PM. It's late as shit. Can you even legally be here now?

... Well, they are.

So it's time to enjoy the somewhat chilly water and the sand and the night. ]

[toushiro]

[ purple hair. he hasn't asked about it, but he's assuming she'd gotten her purple hair for the same reason that he got his turned white. retrospec. of course.

he's also not entirely sure what's up with her eyes, but at night they're fine? it's why they're here at the beach at 10pm, probably. he thinks it's ridiculous, but at the same time, toushiro likes that there's no sun out, so...

the first thing he does, surprisingly? is make a beeline towards a spot in the sand and he instantly starts building something with his bare hands. ]

IV

[scarlet_devil]

[ Okay so she just definitely got handed a paper pirate hat. Because of course she did. ]

...Um. Excuse me?

[matchbreaker]

Look, I made too many of these [ And her hair is purple now and she's lost control of her life apparently. ] and I need someone to take them. If you don't want that give me seven dollars and I've got a shirt for you down the way.

wildcard, yoga in a fast food joint

[feistytrader]

[Early in the evening, before Elda starts preparing dinner, Silver sends her a flurry of texts.]

Hey, could you meet me at Burger King? It's important.

[He'll specify which one and leave it alone for a while, and then-]

I'm not in trouble.

[matchbreaker]

[ WELP.

... she's not replying but she's showing up immediately because she initially assumed that he was indeed in trouble. Oops? Oh well, she's here right quick though. ]

IV

[digthefuzz]

[Out of all the bingo tasks that were asked of him, this one felt like it would be the hardest to do. But still, Kurt prepared himself to carry out the unforgivable sin.

In the movie theater, a blockbuster film was playing that had been out for the last week. It's the latest installment of The Killenator series, The Killenator: Killment Day. Kurt had seen it on opening weekend and then had to read ten different articles to actually understand the ending. So he figures, maybe he'll actually be doing someone a favor?

He slips through the movie theatre with a big bucket of popcorn in hand and takes the first empty seat he can find that's next to someone who he doesn't recognize.]

Excited? [He casually asks to the woman next to him. He might as well make sure she hasn't already seen it before he starts spoiling.]

[matchbreaker]

Well, I heard this one is much better than the last, at least! [ She... plays off her excitement, grinning a little and looking at him with... red eyes. Red, reflective eyes, given the limited light of the theater. ] I'm looking forward to seeing what the Killment Day actually is. I mean, they've been setting that up for the last two.

i

[twostringsonebow]

[Sometimes it's nice to walk around Viea Village; Elizabeth lives here as well, but he's not here to visit her... though he can't guess the vast property she lives in anyway.

Sometimes it's nice to walk around Viea Village and sometimes it is fucking terrifying with like a 5' Velociraptor chasing after you!! He realizes it's most likely some child playing a prank, but holy shit is he not here for this right now.]

P-Please cease! It's much too hot to play, wouldn't you agree?

[matchbreaker]

[ Hey man, she's in a creepy masked child mask thing she stole from Silver, so...

Nope.

She makes a hissing sound and jumps forward, getting into the other's personal space. Roar!! ]

Closed Prompt: Mad House's Tea Party

[matchbreaker]

[ On contrast to her normal date attire, Elda is in fact not in a dress tonight. She's not precisely in casual clothes either because that wouldn't be fitting, but the fact they're going to need to sneak around or hop a fence does mean that she's in business casual with pantsuit type thing. Her red eyes exposed, of course!

... So Albert, you ready. Because we're driving not to anywhere logical, but towards the local cemetery with a little table, cloth, and the other necessary items in the trunk. ]

[manufactured]

[Wesker has quite frankly never done "casual" a day in his life, as far as his clothing goes, but you know what, he has ridden a Chocobo in a suit recently so he's pretty sure that whatever they're about to do, it's going to be fine. I mean, it's a tea party. What the hell do you even do that's strenuous at a - ]

...You still haven't mentioned where we're going. I assume it's some sort of surprise?

[...Thankfully he does not have his sunglasses on at night and can in fact see where the hell we're going to end up whenever we get there.]
