bingo threads & overflow
WHO: Majima & everyone
WHERE: Watch out, he's everywhere
WHEN: July
WHAT: Bingo sure is a thing!! New prompts (please come and hit him up!!) + some overflow threads
WARNINGS: majima swears a lot.
i. never gonna give you up (open.)
[ majima's at work, but "working" is maybe not the adjective that would describe what he's doing. he's got give pink shirts in various stages of being bedazzled. they all read I <3 Retrospec (in comic sans.) but are adorned with all kinds of different things. one has hearts made out of gems, another dragons drawn on it, a third with a flowers. ]
Damn, they're turnin' out pretty well.
[ he says to no one in particular!!! also, he may be a bit too optimistic about how they're turning out but it's one of those #DoItForTheBingo things that he can't turn down. He's going to sell these shirts!! even if he only sells them to irony crowd.
if anyone happens upon him he will show off one of these hideous pink beauties:]
Wanna buy it? It's $5.
[ look bedazzling isn't free. ]
ii. never gonna let you down (open to anyone feasibly a stranger.)
[ the hardest squares are, of course, the ones he has to actively find strangers for. it's hard to pick out people who are at once a stranger but also definitely on retrospec and he spends more than a little bit of time looking through different profiles to get a sense of what people look like who are on the app but he doesn't know.
whenever he spots one, at least, he has no problems walking up to them to engage about bingo. ]
Hey! Can ya do me a favor? It's for this bingo shit.
[ feel free to take him up, or run quickly in the other direction if you're totally over bingo at this point. it's true that people have been roped into all kinds of weird shit lately. and with majima this could be as simple as getting sung to -- or it could be fighting, and does he really look like a dude who wanna take on? ]
iii. never gonna run around and desert you. (open.)
[ ok, real talk: the bingo-ing does get exhausting for everyone, even someone used to randomly running errands for other people. at a certain point you just gotta take a break. eat an ice cream, walk in the park, whatever. bingos may indeed continue to find you, but maybe for awhile you take a break and relax.
at least, that's what majima's trying to do. balance the substories with the plot, you know? maybe you're a fellow traveler looking for shelter from the onslaught of carolers singing never gonna give you up, or people asking you to duel them. you can hang out and talk about something not bingo related for a little bit.
or maybe you'll just fall into the trap of filling that one last square, anyway. ]
iv. TWISTER PARTY. (closed 2 the twister party ppl.)
[ the twister party one seems like a ridiculous square but between majima and mista they manage to phone a small group of friends to come over to play twister. hopefully everyone is a stranger to someone in the group - or at least, all the people in the group who need the square.
majima agrees to hold the twister party at the club where there's plenty of space to lay it out. you'd think maybe he'd dress more casually, but, nah, he's still in his tux. he's fought in it before so i guess he's plenty flexible even in it. look, sometimes you gotta be ready to work no matter what the time. old habits die hard.
he does bring out a few bottles of beer and some fruit. if they're gonna party, they're gonna do it right, damn it. now he's just gotta wait for this party group to show up.]
v. wildcard.
[ use this for your bingo needs. ]

who has a really shitty sense of humor, it's baren]
You're too popular, Mista. We wither away without you.
no subject
[What icy atmosphere? It could be literally subzero in this room and Shuji would still sparkle when Mista walks in.]
Obviously it's much better with you here! If you didn't come back soon we might have had to talk about the weather or something.
no subject
Damn Mista, ya must be related ta the pope after all since you're such a savior.
[ i
im sorry ]
no subject
Oh yeah, for sure. That's why I was late, I was talking to God and stuff.
[kinda sacrilegious my guy but ok]
We all okay to get started? [Admittedly this question is mostly for Shuji, because. Look, if somebody's making somebody miserable in this room, the miserable party is gonna be Shuji, the most easily bullied person in the world. And Baren's probably the culprit, because it's Baren, and Majima's too perfect to be involved in whatever just happened.]
no subject
Maybe another time.
He wanders over to the Twister mat and sheds his jacket - ]
Let's go, let's go!
[he might also want to win but that's just pride talking]
no subject
I'm all ready. Who's going to do the boring job of referee first?
[If you thought he was going to be weird about Baren taking off his jacket: this is a reasonable assumption but even Shuji knows you have to have a better range of motion than wearing a jacket will allow if you're going to win at Twister, so it doesn't even get a comment.]
no subject
[ maybe?? he doesn't know??
but if baren is going to strip off his jacket, majima's going to strip off his jacket AND his shirt because that's what men do when they fight and twister is no joke.
of course underneath it he's got no small amount of ink but eh ]
no subject
You got it, boss. Get in position, kids.
no subject
Baren's just going to laugh because - ]
What the fuck? Okay.
[why! did he take his shirt off!! at least baren just thinks it's funny.... and lazily stretches out as he waits for instruction on one corner of the mat]
no subject
It's not his fault Mista's boss is hot, okay.]
Ready.
[...without taking off any clothes.]
no subject
majima sits down, too, stretching out his long limbs. he's so ready for this. ]
Spin the dial!
no subject
[Someone give Mista a prize for not laughing already. Instead, showing both great restraint and admirable flair, he spins the dial. Whoosh.]
Looks like we're starting out with right hand red, folks, choose wisely!
no subject
nice]
no subject
Shuji ends up with his right hand on one of the middle red circles but it was still the one closest to him, so eh]
no subject
no subject
[Whatever. Spinning again.]
Leeeeeft leg . . . blue! Blue.
no subject
[that said no, baren did not choose wisely. and you know what, he just enjoys getting in the way. so he'll be moving to put his left foot somewhere right in the middle.]
no subject
[Shuji puts his left leg on a middlish blue circle in a way that does not involve him touching Baren whatsoever.]
no subject
Ya just gotta watch genius at work, Mista.
no subject
[He absolutely is backseat twistering. At least Majima's trying. Majima is winning the Mista Approval Contest that this definitely is so far. Aaand he spins.]
Left leg red!
no subject
months
months without touching shuji unless he has to
he moves but he makes a face bc wow this row is crowded now]
no subject
[They're both avoiding touching each other so clearly everything will be fine?? Shuji finds one of the few unoccupied red circles and plants his foot on it.]
no subject
Are you two doin' alright? I feel like the jenga piece on the top of a tower that's tryin' ta fall apart.
no subject
[What the fuck does that even mean. Mista doesn't pause anyway, the only way out is through. Also Baren YOU AGREED TO THIS, SO: spin.]
Left hand yellow!
no subject
but whatever HE DOESN'T MIND THE BRIDGING even though this means he probably has to go under? majima? eh, not a big deal]
Hey Mr. Demigod over there, do you ever think before you talk?
