[OPEN + CLOSED] Ska vi lägga pussel, eller ska vi spela schack...

WHO: Soujirou & You & also some people
WHERE: All over the place
WHEN: Varying dates during July
WHAT: Belated Bingo things, general catchall 
WARNINGS: TERRIBLE ROMANCE NOVEL QUOTES.


[As soon as he'd received the mysterious bingo thing, Soujirou had immediately sat down with it like any grownass adult would and tried to work out the best way to win. Some things were fairly quickly nixed, mainly things concerning unnecessary sharing of feelings. Unless he can find a way to work around them, he's not interested. But happily, that leaves plenty of options that are potentially dangerous or just plain dumb, and that suits Soujirou far better.]



i. Combo moves work poorly in real life (Open)


[You'd think the logical thing to do would be to immediately clear the middle square, but no. Because one of the challenges Soujirou had been presented with had seemed so much more tempting. "Play a prank on an authority figure". Natrually.

So here's Soujirou, with a big stack of paper under one arm, every page of which appears to be a copy out of a paperback novel spread. A closer look would show that the book in question is titled, The Outlaw Viking. He's on his way back to set his plan in motion, when he suddenly notices that the fence of the park he's crossing to is... waist high. Didn't the bingo card say...?

It's an absolutely terrible idea. If he really must do this at all, he really ought to set down all those papers at first. But no, he's a fool, and he decides that this is the moment to run up and gracefully fling himself over the fence in a truly dramatic fashion and-

-aaaand get his bag stuck on said fence, and go over in an equally dramatic but not quite so graceful fashion. The papers go flying all over the sidewalk and all around everyone trying to walk peacefully along it. Soujirou manages to roll with the fall, but he's ruined a pair of nice leggings and scraped up both knees, and he looks rather sheepish where he sits.]


...That didn't go quite as I planned it.


ii. Smoldering eyes and heaving bosoms (Closed to Fai)


[It is later that day; Soujirou has two big bandaids covering both knees, his fingers are lightly stained with highlighter, and HIS BRILLIANT PLAN IS COMPLETE.

Which is to say that he's been sneaking around all over the offices where Fai and his colleagues - and currently Soujirou - work, armed with those nice copies he's made of Fai's romance novel and some tape. They're just about everywhere now. Inside the cupboards in the small office kitchen, hanging in front of computer monitors, over or even inside a couple of shared trashcans. Several of them are crowded on the communal notice board, and one is even arranged so that it will dangle in front of you when you open the copier.

Of course, Soujirou would never hang outright porn all over the place. They do get minors in there, after all, and Fai could get in real trouble like that. No, he's carefully chosen pages which include some particularil ridiculous and over-the-top writing, and perhaps one or two which still make it clear what general genre the novel belongs to, without ever getting inappropriate.

He has even been kind enough to highlight some of his favorite parts. (Such as: "unexplainable pride coursed through her when she watched the corded muscles of his forearms flex", "How would she ever be able to penetrate the utter emptiness at the bottom of his desolate eyes?" and "The gods surely showed their displeasure by dumping this feminine blight on me this day".) Just to be helpful.

And then he decides to wait for Fai to decide with a cup of tea in the kitchen. Giggling more or less constantly, like the little shit he is.]



iii. Piracy is a great career move (Open)


[A couple of days later, Soujirou has hopefully learned from his previous mistakes. That is to say, he has chosen to deal with that middle square and thereby to do something less hazardous to himself and those around him.

The great thing about working at a daycare? You can absolutely find plastic swords whenever you need them. It comes with the minor drawback of being sized for a four-year-old, but who needs realism when you have imagination, determination, and a complete lack of any kind of knowledge about pirates?

Seriously, someone call this landlubber out. He may suddenly have memories of being a pirate, but he has NO IDEA what he's doing. At all.]


Hands on me yardladder! [Yep, that is something he just said. While pointing a plastic sword at you, whoever you are. That's not even proper pirate speech, he's just making shit up. He's also tied a paisley scarf around his head.]


iv. Can't buy Jim love (Closed to Juzo)


[The upseide is that he loves buying gifts. The downside, or at least the confusing side, is that he doesn't really know either of the people he's buying for - or even if he likes them very much, OR if they're actually getting married for real.

Oh well. It's not really his problem, right?

What is his problem is that half the registry seems to be gag gifts - maybe? - and the other half is still tricky to figure out for strangers. Which is why he is completely unabashed about turning around and practically draping a shower curtain over the closest available victim.]


Here, hold this!

[Just going to step back and behold this adorable llama, frowning slightly.]

I'm not sure if this is a weird thing to get for your wedding or not. What do you think? Is it weird?


v. No blues blues (Closed to Kashuu)


[Usually, Soujirou very evidently doesn't care about his appearance, but this is difference. It's one thing that half his hair was a washed-out turquoise basically forever, that's still kind of fun. But grey? Grey is boring, and also makes him look like he's his parents' age from behind. It's weird.

Hair styling cost money, but Kiyomitsu has been complaining about his hair forever. So why not kill two birds with one stone? Not to say that he won't offer to pay for the products used and so on anyway, but at least it won't be salon prices.

...Let's be real, he knows Kiyomitsu might actually pay him to get to fix the disaster that is his hair.

So yes, here's Soujirou, turning up at his friend's place with a big smile, ready to be bossed around and berated. HE'S PREPARED. He thinks he's prepared.]


So... I'm guessing I don't get a say in what you're about to do, huh?

[Fai has no idea what's in store for him today. He knows he's meeting Soujirou at the office, they have a few appointments to do together, and he's probably got a stack of paperwork half a foot tall to process. That's all normal stuff. He drives his pretty pink car into the office today, even though he usually leaves her at home, because he's still so tickled with the new color and takes every chance he gets to show her off. He's got a giant thermos of caramel-flavored coffee (for himself) and a box of macarons (to share with his co-workers, mostly).

It's the macarons that lead him into the kitchen first before anything else, to deposit the majority of the box on the counter for everyone to have at them. And there's Soujirou, giggling. Fai stops, looks at him, tilts his head just a little and smiles.]


You're in a good mood today~!

[HE THINKS HE'S PREPARED but no one can ever truly be prepared to deal with Kashuu when he's in stylist mode...

At any rate, he's 100% correct in assuming Kashuu would pay for Soujirou to get his hair taken care of, so this? This totally works for him. He has all of the products he needs anyway, since he also does makeup and behind-the-scenes stage prep for the models that he dresses. It's not exactly the glamorous designer life, but he's always enjoyed making people feel pretty, so it works well enough for him.

Soujirou gets NONE OF THAT MERCY though... Because he let his hair become an awful mess of grey and it was still bad even before that. As he's rummaging through this box and that to find what he needs, he casts a single look over his shoulder that says "what do you think?"]


If what you say is stupid then yeah, no, you don't. I'll listen to ideas, though.

"The hell?"

He hadn't seen the leap over the fence, but he definitely saw the veritable mass of papers as they cycloned around him on his run. Not wanting to step on any and ruin them - because who knew, they might be important to someone! - he came to an abrupt halt, scanning the area with narrowed eyes until he made out the form of a man sitting sheepishly on the ground.

"Tch. You do damage to anything but those pants?"

Yeah, he could pick up the damn papers later. If this guy was hurt that needed to take priority, even if he was an idiot.

Give me serious suggestions or I'm gonna shave you bald instead.

[HE SAYS... But of course Kashuu is one person who knows how serious hair is, and even if he threatens to cut Soujirou's hair off more often than he probably should, he'd never actually do it.]

—But first, go sit by the sink. I'm giving you a deep conditioning before we even start.

[Because his poor hair.]

[Juzo, being the person in question, can't help looking at the shower curtain and then shifting his gaze to Soujirou. After repeating this a few times, he finally realizes that responding might be a good idea.]

Depends. Do you want my honest opinion or just an opinion?

[There's a huge difference between the two, it seems.]

[Here Amelia was, just minding her own pretentious business taking a walk through the Terrace for lack of anything more constructive to do, and suddenly there's a crazy man launching himself over the fence. And almost getting stuck there like an out of season Christmas ornament.

She stops, staring openly and levelly, and not reacting when pages fall on or near her like oversized snowflakes.
]

I assume you had a good reason for doing that.

[She doesn't even know the reason, it's straight to judgment.

Amelia disapproves -10]

[He opens his mouth like he's about to say something, but apparently decides differently and shuts it again. Soujirou is a punk...!! But at least the lightness of that statement has him feeling like he doesn't have to address it, even if ignoring it is somewhat awkward.]

Don't be an idiot.

[His response to that punk remark on textbooks... Why is he stuck with a bad joke demon??

He'll tip the chair back once Soujirou's seated though, making sure his neck is situated comfortably at the little gel thing.]


Is that okay? You're gonna be here for a little while, so tell me if it starts to get uncomfortable.

[In the meantime he has MUCH WORK TO DO. All this damaged hair...]
sharplydressed: (ya dang punk)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-21 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
At least your awful taste in clothes is good for this sort of thing.

[A RUDE SHIT...

But he'll make up for being rude by being gentle with his hair, at least. Those split ends are getting a nice conditioning bath, thank you.]


Ugh... Seriously, how do you not notice how bad it's gotten back here? D'you just look at the color and that's it?
sharplydressed: (the poutmaster 5000)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-22 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's just a waste, is all. You have a good face! You're not using it well when you dress like a disaster and don't even brush your hair some days.

[He doesn't know if that's actually true or not, he's just making guesstimations based on what his hair sometimes looks like and what he knows of Yamato's habits. These two are definitely too similar in the worst ways sometimes...

Speaking of bad hair habits, though--]


...I know you don't like it being cut, too, but can I at least trim it up a little? These ends are awful.

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-22 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
[EMBARRASSINGLY HONEST MISSILE WAS SUPER EFFECTIVE. He can feel his soul slowly dying...

But really, that amount of trust isn't something he'd actually take lightly or betray. It's more than "just about hair". That's the way it always is with anything people take seriously about their appearances.]


Obviously not! That'd be an amateur's mistake. [HUFFS.] Geez... How come you know all this stuff but you still don't understand why looking good is important? You and Yasusada are the worst when it comes to this.
sharplydressed: (ya dang punk)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-22 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
There's no way you'd be any competition even if you did care.

[THIS RUDE SHIT?? But look, he only says it because he knows Soujirou doesn't care.

He also reaches down and pinches Soujirou's nose shut with his wet hand in retaliation... Actual mature adult.]


Anyway, stop laughing, you're gonna knock my sink off the wall like this.

[GOD, SOUJIROU. And he still has so many treatments left to go through... Destroy him now.]
sharplydressed: (i'll fight you)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-22 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[That's what it really comes down to... Kashuu isn't spiteful enough to spite his own sense of aesthetics just to pay Soujirou back for being a jerk!! He will verbally state his opinion there, though.]

Jerk. [With a little tug (too gentle to actually hurt) at his hair...] It's just 'cause his eyes are so big. He tricks people into thinking he's adorable when he's actually just evil.

[THE POMPOM EYES TELL POMPOM LIES.]

Same for you, honestly.
sharplydressed: (actually 5)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-07-22 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[He wants to poke Soujirou in his big ol' eyes but he'll resist, somehow.]

He'd definitely call me evil. [YASUSADA IS SUCH A GOOD BOYFRIEND that he doesn't know he has...]

Anyway, it's good for a lot of things! Like getting jobs or dates or making friends or impressing people. I still don't know how Yasu ever managed to get a girlfriend when I have to brush his hair for him half the time...

[And he was not at all surprised when they broke up amicably because even looking cute can't save Yamato's inability to date properly BUT STILL.]
