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 Is it from a speech or a historical document?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.

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

119.
It was a mission for Akaashi Keiji. With his top notch mind he would conclude the investigation without the inspectors’ help. He was indeed reliable, Koutaro already knew it, but he couldn’t blow away this feeling lurking at the back of his mind, whispering the worse to come.
Crime coefficient is 119. Enforcement Mode is Non-Lethal Paralyzer.
The lab had always told him, how his hue, the purest white, was an incredible counterweight to high crime coefficient. So he knew he better stay close to Keiji. His Psycho Pass, he could take a look at it, but he didn’t dare to. He didn’t want some big number to hit him like a truck.
129.
It wasn’t a mission for Akaashi Keiji. Not that he wasn’t competent enough, but because of some vague instinct Koutaro had. But it wasn’t convincing at all for Tetsuro. “Who did you expected to convince ?” mocked his inner voice. So here he was again, on the field with Keiji.
On the other side of the casino, he could see his partner gliding from table to table with an incredible ease. Upstairs, Kuroo was overhanging the scene. Yaku wasn’t too far neither. They had the zone in control, with First Division as a backup on the potential exits. It would be a shame to dirty their fancy suits. Actually he didn’t get to see Keiji this beautiful everyday.
“Guarding 1 to Lurchers, 2 bodyguards of the target near the main gate.”
“Lurcher 2 to Guardings, a customer in dark blue suite seems involved with the target.”
“Guarding 1 to Lurcher 2, keep an eye on him.”
Mastering minimal lips motion was a pain but it did pay off. At least he could turn into a puppeter if his career failed, given that it was still a job. Minutes felt like hours while waiting for the right moment to act. Eventually the target did the first move, retreating to a side room, less crowded. Keiji followed close. 1 minute until they could reach him.
“Guarding 1 to Lurcher 2, what’s the situation ?”
He wasn’t able to move as swiftly as Keiji in his ocean of human whirpools.
10 seconds and no answer.
“Guarding 1 to Lurcher 2, I repeat, what’s the situation ?”
138.
5 seconds and still no answer.
Kotaro walked on his steps, followed by Yaku, then Kuroo, but no man. Neither Keiji nor the target were to be found. “Don’t die.”
154.
15 other seconds and radio silence was sharp, like an ice-cold knife on the verge of his throat.
They contacted First Division but nothing to report on their end. “I won’t forgive you.”
186.
His heart was beating so loud it could break his chest. At the sound of his own steps he pictured Keiji’s crime coefficient rising. “Don’t die.”
193.
Fake greek statues, old art nouveau lamps, overly flowered wallpaper, the scenery of every turning corner were different but for Koutaro it was nothing but a never ending maze. All the plans and tactics meticulously prepared vanished, consumed by overwhelming stress. He kept repeating those two words, to Keiji, but most likely to himself.
“Kou. Calm down.”
Tetsurou put a friendly hand on his shoulder. Yaku and Tetsuro were shining with confidence and trust in Keiji’s capacities. Yet he who cherished Keiji more than anyone, he couldn’t.
235.
A shot.
0.4 second later another.
Then the typical sound of a Dominator switching mode.
And 1 second later the last shot.
279.
“Mission completed.” Keiji simply declared when his teammates arrived.
He was covered by with own blood, pouring from a wounded left arm and shoulder, and by the blood of the target, painting anew Keiji’s white shirt, and the golden carpet. Between the lips of that genuine smile of satisfaction, Koutaro could hear a faded laughter.
“Don’t laugh.”
Keiji chuckled.
“You sure are frightening Bokuto-san. The enemy doesn't scare me a bit compared to you.”
He casually contacted the cleaners at the headquarters while the others lined up with Koutaro’s silence.
“You idiot. As if I'd ever die. The target was in sight. I had to kill him with my own hands."
119.
What was frightening was Akaashi Keiji’s crime coefficient swings, a fearful beauty never to be tamed. And the fact that Bokuto Koutaro was the sole person known to balance those numbers was equally alarming.
