There was a farm that had a dog

[heritrix]

[Throughout the day on Monday, everyone still left in the building will find a handwritten invitation delivered to them at some point or another, along with a bonus sheet of paper.

WHO: You!
WHAT: Fun and games!
WHERE: The roof
WHEN: 6 o'clock

Hey, everyone. It's been quiet around here lately, so let's keep our spirits up and have some fun! The sun might not be shining, but we still have a great view of the stars, and somewhere warm to watch them from. Food and drink will be provided, so just bring yourself (and your bingo sheet!), and we'll enjoy each other's company.

- Rin Tohsaka

There aren't any decorations upstairs, but there will be food and drink as promised, and lots of variety. Curry, soup and sandwiches, parfaits, homemade potato chips, a cheese plate; Rin went all out. For sweets, there's chocolate chip cookies and a lemon meringue pie, with milk or juice (that looks like it was made from scratch) to wash it down with. Alcohol too, if that's your thing. There's even a bloody mary for Elda, somehow.

As you might guess from the invitation, the bonus piece of paper delivered with the invites is a blank bingo sheet! Whether it's when the invites are delivered or when they come to the party, Rin will give everyone instructions on how to fill it out, and how the game is played.

HUMAN GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER BINGO

1. Fill out the sheet with 24 simple facts about yourself! They should be anything you're comfortable sharing with others, and most importantly they must be true
2. Share sheets with one another! If you have something in common with what's on another person's sheet, you can sign off on that square.
3. Players may sign up to two squares on one another's sheets, but only two! Normally you'd only collect a single signature, but this is a small group.
4. When one row has five signatures horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, that's a BINGO!
5. Whoever has the most BINGOs at the end of the night wins!

That should about cover it. But yeah, it's a game designed for the group to maybe get to know each other a little better. Discussion is encouraged, not just for what you have in common, but what you don't! What's most important is everyone have fun.]

SCORESHEET

[heritrix]

[Make your own top levels for threading, but if you want a handy place to link your bingo sheet/keep track of the signatures on it, you can reply OOC here!]

[matchbreaker]

[ ... The bloody mary is appreciated, even if it's sort of weird. She sniffs it a few times experimentally and then takes a sip and...

... not the worst.

Well, with that done, she'll get her sheet in order, and she goes fro broad. She has some unique things, right? So let's just go broad, because then they'll have to sign it. Some unique, some not unique... and the positioning... She's focusing on that a lot so you might see her fretting about that.

But then once it's out and around- ]

So let's get signing these. You got anything fun there?

[ Her own is sure a thing. ]

[matchbreaker]

Elda's bingo sheet and signatures can be replied here/edited onto this/idek how this works.

EDIT: First Update (Rin), Second Update (Adelina & 1/2 of Luca), Third Update (1/2 of Luca and Rideaux, Yuri)

[aw yiss. muthafuckin chocolate chip cookies.

anyway, you know... why not be kind of glib about some of his trauma. because you know? this is probably the key to moving on.]

Well, this should be fun. After all, there's only so much you can learn about someone in a month, right?

[heritrix]

[As the hostess of this little party, Rin's one of the first people here. After all the cooking she's done today you'd think she'd be worn out, but she's actually bursting with energy! Seems like she got the hang of it after helping Hibiki out all those weeks ago; it probably helped that she kept it to a lot of great tasting, but simple dishes.

Once everyone's gotten some food and any questions have been dealt with, she'll leap into the game with gusto. Rin's bingo sheet was pre-prepared the night before.]

If you can't find any matches, we can test out the ones in the bottom corners.

[bloodisthicker]

Here's Tarrlok's bingo card!

[heritrix]

Rin's bingo card, which I'll edit as the signatures collect.

[heritrix]

[Rin has a glass cup which she's sipping juice from primly, despite using a silly straw. Mrrrr.]

Most of the ones I have in common with you are depressing.

[There's actually several she could sign as well, though she's trying to narrow it down to just two. She could go with unusual ones, right? Or something Elda doesn't know about.]

[matchbreaker]

... Well I am counting on you for some of these.

[ Do it rin. Sign the sibling thing. Do it. You know you want to.

... What is that straw. ]

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Well, you know what, she'll circle the younger sibling one and sign her name. ]

Golly, how'd hunting even come up. I didn't know people still did that.

[bloodisthicker]

Well, it's not really as common as it used to be, but it's definitely still something we do in Water Tribe. It's difficult to farm or raise livestock somewhere that cold, so if you're not wealthy enough to live off imports you still have to hunt and fish.

[matchbreaker]

I thought you were from a city or something, they don't have groceries?

[ Maybe she's missing something, and she sort of taps her pen on her cheek as she considers the other one to write on. ]

[hesperos]

[ Here we go right here!

Update 1!]

[heritrix]

[Nahhhhhhhhhh.]

Hey now, you can't rig the deck so much.

[Says the person who may or may not have also done her bingo sheet in such a way, but! She's sure she was clever about it! That said, looking at this sheet more she thinks she's come up with a good first pick, and thus she signs "can erase memories".]

[matchbreaker]

[ :T ]

I'll do yours next. But isn't the whole strategy here to set up the bingo board right? ... What're we even winning again?

[heritrix]

Friendship.

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . Wow. ]

Do some fancy magic for me when I win then.

[hesperos]

I'm pretty sure we'll be able to find matches just fine.

[ Heeeeey Rin, guess who it is that's decided to drop in with some food and is ready to play! He'll peer over, and, huh. ]

You like sleeping in too, huh?

[hesperos]

[ Here we go.

Yuri will be sitting around, and lounging all casual-like in here. His stuff is here again. So what if it's simple, he is just like that ok. ]

Isn't this a game old people play?

[ Yuri's not complaining, not at all, judging by the smirk on his face and the fact that he's playing. Ayy. ]

[heritrix]

[Pffft.]

It was a joke! There's a real prize, but it's a secret. The point really is to get to know each other better, so I want people to focus on that for now.

[But she winks.] Still, I'll definitely show you what I can do when we leave here. Though probably not this one.

[She taps the square she just signed as she says this.]

[matchbreaker]

[ elda's gaze falls and she seems to be thinking for a moment. would she want to forget any of this? The moment she had to call Aligula? The moment she found Susan's body? the moment Sayaka died in front of her?

She...

she shakes her head, running her long nails down the end of one of her tails of hair. ]

Oh, certainly not, that wouldn't be at all proper.

[heritrix]

Hehehe. A bit too much, really. [She laughs.] I'm the kind of person who will stay up until 2 or 3 AM even though I know I have to be at school by 7, but if I could get away with it? I'd sleep in until noon.

[matchbreaker]

Well, not all of us are so young, you know. Though it's ironic it's one of the youngest who came up with this.

[ Elda you could pass for one of the teenagers if your mouth isn't open.

... but all the same, let's look over Yuri's card now. Hmmmmm. ]

[heritrix]

[Rin tilts her head a bit, studying Elda's serious expression.]

Oh, I got one. Have you ever seen a broken window repaired in under thirty seconds?

[matchbreaker]

... Nope! That seems like a weirdly specific spell though! Do you play a lot of baseball?
