Bonus Round 2: Quotes
Bonus Round 2: Quotes
Sometimes you just have to keep with tradition! Keeping with the SASO roots that SportsFest was born from, Bonus Round 2 is all about quotes.
This bonus round will close on July 13th, 2018 11:59PM PT. [COUNTDOWN]
This Round is CLOSED, but is perpetually open for new FILLS.
Rules
The Rule of Thumb for this round is prominence - did a published author or poet write this line you’d like to quote? Great. Is it from a speech or a historical document? Cool. Did your friend say something funny on twitter the other day? Not so much.
Please DO NOT prompt screenshots of private conversations, Discord convos, or conversations between you and your friends. This can easily and unintentionally bring the prompts into inside joke territory, and can create an exclusionary environment.
Quotes from other SportsFest participants (or yourself) are NOT allowed in this round (for similar reasons to above, and the fact that you could just make anything a quote).
Please give credit to the original speaker of your quote whenever possible.
If prompting with a screenshot, it is polite to post a transcription of the text below the image for accessibility.
Please use your best judgement, and if you’re unsure if something qualifies - ask! The mods are here to help.
And to reiterate, Your prompt MUST include one or more specific nominated fandoms. Please do not prompt "Fandom: Any".
A Few Examples:
“Today is far from Childhood -
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter -
Which shortened all the miles-
- Emily Dickinson, ‘One Sister Have I In Our House’
“Til this moment I never knew myself”
- Elizabeth Bennett, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
“SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE!
- Damian, Mean Girls
“It's a quarter past midnight
As we cut through the city”
- Quarter Past Midnight, Bastille
If Prompting
Please use the following subject line for prompt:
Prompt: [Your Team]
Replace [Your Team] with the name of the team you belong to. Nickname or Official Name are both acceptable
Copy/Paste the following into the body of your comment. Delete all instructional text in parentheses.
NSFW Prompts
EXPLICITLY NSFW PROMPTS must be posted to the after-hours comm. “Explicitly NSFW” means that the prompt includes outright sexual content (whether in a photograph, drawing, or in words), and prompts that in the additional requests are asking for explicit fills. Prompts are posted with the same HTML format, in the same manner as a SFW prompt, just under the designated post for that Bonus Round in the after-hours comm. See ‘Filling’ for the procedures for NSFW Fills.
Once you have joined the Afterhours community, you can find the corresponding post HERE.
If Filling

Required Work Minimums:
400 words (prose)
400px by 400px (art)
14 lines (poetry)

Copy/Paste the following into the body of your comment. Delete all instructional text in parentheses.
NSFW Fills
All NSFW fills must be posted in the corresponding Bonus Round post in the After Hours community. If filling a prompt that has been posted on the after-hours comm, simply reply to that prompt. If filling a SFW prompt, let the prompter know by replying to the original prompt on the main comm with a link to your fill on the corresponding after-hours Bonus Round Post. Please do not use the Fill subject line or Fill header when cross-linking. This will cause the BR scorer to count your fill twice.
Once you have joined the Afterhours community, you can find the corresponding post HERE.
Scoring
The scoring for bonus rounds depends on the number of people (n) on your team. You’re welcome to make as many prompts and fills as you like!
For prompts: 5 points per prompt, limited to 5 times the number of team members (5n)
For fills, where (n) = number of members on you team:
First 5n fills: 20 points each
Fills 5n to 10n: 10 points each
Fills 10n to 15n: 5 points each
All fills after 15n: 2 points each
Confused? Don’t worry; math is hard. Check out the Bonus Round Point Widget to help you figure out the point scale for your team.
All scored content must be created new for this round.

hello eliska i'm sure you are surprised
***
Being alive has never been so fun. So vitalizing, to be more accurate, but if they're enjoying themselves then they can only be energized, right?
Kise drums on the wheel on the car, listening to his boyfriend hurling insults at whoever on his heels in his earpiece, and that makes him chuckle. They aren't playing anymore, so he guesses he can let Haizaki express himself as much as he wants.
“Hurry up, or I'm leaving without you,” he teases.
“Fuck off, I'd like to see you lose five guys who want your fucking head on a silver platter!”
“To be technical, they also want mine.”
“Shut up, Ryouta.”
Kise rolls his eyes but he's still smiling. He can hear the erratic way Haizaki is running, and what must be gunshots in the distance; they really are serious, and don't plan on aborting their mission anytime soon. Well, they asked for it.
The car's engine roars and then Kise is flying by, driving in empty roads then dodging the other cars as he approaches busy districts that never sleep. The shrilling of the wheels are warning enough for anyone wishing to stop him, which means that he arrives at his destination in less time than expected. He hasn't killed anyone on the road and he's still alive, so he considers this a victory and the good action of the day.
He slams on the brake and the car screeches, drawing the attention of everyone, civilians and fools alike, and with a gun in his right hand, he opens his window with his left hand. He pokes his head out, grinning.
“You're making us late, so have the decency to disappear, alright?”
He doesn't particularly aim to strike true; he simply pulls on the trigger, making these guys scatter and scramble. He's just buying time for his blockhead to get into the car, and when the passenger's door slams closed with more strength than necessary, he immediately stops his random firing and throws his gun in Haizaki's lap. The latter scowls.
“Don't just fucking show up like that without warning me, asshole,” he grumbles.
“What, you don't like being surprised?” Kise laughs, pushing on the pedal. “We're supposed to run away together, if I leave you behind that defeats the purpose.”
“Whatever.”
Haizaki heaves a sigh and runs a hand through his hair, grimacing when his fingers come out bloodied. Well, either someone landed a good blow on his head, either he didn't clean the blood he spilled. Kise hopes it's not the former.
His driving skills aren't spectacular and are even borderline hazardous since the concept of speed limit doesn't apply to him, but in this kind of situation it feels justified to break the law—in a completely innocent way, not the bloody and insane way. They're increasing the distance between them and their pursuers, unperturbed and rather confident in their escape. Haizaki looks in the rear-view mirror, and smirks.
“Guess we lost them.”
“That would better be the case, I don't want to drive any faster than this.”
“As if you'd pass up the opportunity to drive like a madman.”
Kise smiles, and that's enough of an answer.
They keep driving for another ten minutes in silence, and when they arrive at their hideout, Kise stops the car. They stay inside for a moment, listening to the night swallowing their words.
“We can't turn back, now,” Kise whispers.
“You having regrets or what?” Haizaki snaps, sending an unimpressed look in Kise's direction.
“Of course not, I'm just realizing that it's real.”
Kise's lips remain curled upwards, and he looks at Haizaki with such a fiery gaze that there is no way he isn't excited at the prospect of being on the run. Living in the shadows, watching every one of their steps, relying on no one but each other—that sounds like a life they should have started a long time ago. Just the two of them, away from the bustling of the underworld they can't stand anymore, away from people they can't trust anymore.
“Yeah well, we gotta get out of there real fast first,” Haizaki reminds him, getting out of the car.
“Hey, Shougo-kun?”
Kise does the same, stands on his side of the car while Haizaki is looking at him over his shoulder. He opens and closes his mouth a few times, searching for the best way of saying what's lodged in his heart—and decides that there is no need to embellish words, not after all this time.
“I love you, you know that, right?”
The words stick to the air, gently filling it with familiarity. Haizaki snorts and starts walking, shoving his hands in his pockets.
“Don't be stupid, idiot.”
Yes, just the two of them, doing what they think is right, and letting the world burn for all they care, if that's what should happen.
Kise bursts out laughing, unburdened, and follows Haizaki into the hideout.
Re: FILL: Team KinKage, T
reading this was so exciting because gosh of course lmao. kise's nonchalance at having a bunch of goons tailing him while still having the energy to joke around with haizaki and haizaki's [ugh why are you like this] while trying to escape...it's amazing. you're always so good at their interactions - snippy and rough with each other but not without their own specific brand of caring. and kise's fucking,, driving pls omg i would not want to sit in the same car as him LMAO.
there's something so delightful about reading this even when they're shooting and running a car through a crowd, the promise of escape ever so sweet as they speed away without a care in the world. thank you for filling!! <3
Re: FILL: Team KinKage, T
don't sit in kise's car!! avoid it if you want to stay alive, that's haizaki's advice LOL
thanks for the beautiful prompt!!! <33
