The YOU BOUGHT WHAT?! Meme

So for whatever reason, you just spent a ridiculous amount of money on a really stupid item. Maybe it's the Party Python (pictured above), a whopping 26 pounds of gummy snake, or maybe you just bought a life-sized whale made of swiss cheese. Whatever you did, your friend/roommate/comrade/the random stranger in your hotel lobby must now put up with the consequences of your buying decisions. Maybe it's for a party, maybe it isn't--either way, if you show up with a six foot long gummy snake, they're pretty much bound to say: you bought what?!

So here's how it works (and it is incredibly simple with no RNG involved, really):

1. Character A comments with Name | Canon, and whether they're the Buyer OR Receiver, or either!
2. Character B replies with the opposite and either shows off or reacts to said ridiculous item for whatever reason! Be it a batman snuggie or a giant party python, your possibilities are only as limitless as the dumbest, most expensive thing you think your character might buy! Your character might be drunk or not, that choice is up to you.
3. Everyone questions their choices and profits! And by profits, I mean loses massive amounts of money!

Simple, no? Have at!

i did the thing

[curiousmiku]

[ Len. Len. Len.

Is that Miku holding up a 26-Pound Edible Gummy Party Python?! Yes. Yes it is. ]

Len-kun!! Len-kun, look at what I bought! [ Aww, look how enthusiastic she is. ]

[acclimation]

[he's not been gone more than a few hours. just as any other time; he'd stepped out to get some air, possibly bring back something for them given that he hasn't seen the other man so much as touch anything edible all day. ever the thoughtful friend, he'd decided to head back to their flat to ask what sherlock would be in the mood for, lest he run the risk of bringing something back that the particular little git detective in the silly hat wouldn't find appealing.

coming up the stairs, no more than a few steps from their door -] Sherlock, I -

[and he isn't all the way inside the door before he sees it. nearly taking up half of the open space in the sitting room, asymmetrical and pointed and gaudy, and john stops just short of getting a sleeve caught on one of those sharp edges as he peers over at the man pondering it.] .. What on earth have you done?

Sousuke Sagara || Full Metal Panic!

[drywall]

[ Buyer or receiver - as a buyer expect him to purchase some ludicrously expensive military equipment ]

Re: Sousuke Sagara || Full Metal Panic!

[hexofamage]

[Oh look it was a giant dish of... something. It had the general consistency of yogurt or pudding, but the color was somewhere between black and dark maroon and it smelled like pennies. There were chunks of something in it. Henry held it up cheerfully, and stabbed a spoon into the center of its mass for Sousuke to use. The spoon stuck there, its handle quivering slightly.]

Well, eat up!

[Erica is watching him carefully. He's still staring at something in the aisle of the smallest grocery store ever. She knows that she told him she wanted to go with him the next time he went shopping, but if she had known it would be this? She might have bribed him to go a town or five over.

Still, she wanders the shop and browses the aisles.

She makes a purchase and then comes to join him in his browsing.]

Are you still trying to decide on... what are you looking at? If you're still sad that they are out of your favorite cereal we could go to another grocery store. [Her hand slides around his waist, pulling herself flush to him before she takes the basket out of his hand with one hand and presents her purchase to him with the other.]

For you.

( Likely the buyer, but am open to both options. He's rich, yo. )

[ Definitely the buyer ]

[nonavelgazing]

Would you mind if this took place during the week? Say, after Kama?

[breakrecord]

[It's already pretty easy to spot Hibiki, what with the ridiculous rabbit ear hoodie he always wears. Today, however, there's something even more ridiculous making him stand out: A very long, very sparkling, very blue feather boa draped around his shoulders.

Of course, being who he is, Hibiki wears it with complete nonchalance.]

Hey. Are you looking at the concert hall?

Elissa Cousland | Dragon Age: Origins - OTA, Het for romance

[[Receiver. Prose preferred. Castmates or earlier threaders welcome, but will play with anyone!]]

[ probably receiving. ]

[ A successful scouting mission (meaning, less than 30% casualties) means there should be a good celebration, especially for the squad's best and most useful. So. You got: one (1) giant pinata of a Titan.

Yes, it's pretty obvious that when Hanji buys things for others she buys things that she would enjoy herself. But hey it's a party, okay?

The question is. Will he enjoy it as well? The answer to that is depends on how much he's had to drink. Hanji here already has had quite a few. ] Levi...!

Levi. [ Throws an arm around you, being all buddy-buddy. ] I haaaaave a present for you. For all of us to share, actually...!

either

how about both

[whysocirrus]

[ It's that time of the month, again.

When you spend this much of your time wandering the world, collecting junk like the proverbial rolling stone does not collect moss (and how does that work? how do they keep accumulating so much stuff on the road?), Spring Cleaning has to come a little more often than just in Spring. Like, say, biweekly or twice monthly or just whenever everybody starts pissing and moaning about their packs being too heavy (not that that isn't usually an easy consensus to reach - easier than what to have for dinner or where to sleep, if there's more than one inn or not enough beds).

In any case, all of their purchase-based woes are well in the past - because it's a heap of potentially useful and potentially useless stuff that's staring them down, now, the only two left and responsible enough to go through it all.

Of course, given that more than a fair share is his, Cloud couldn't have argued the position (as per usual, really). He assumes Tifa has remained mostly out of pity.

Or maybe she's just as interested in where the other end of that 26-pound gummy snake terminates, amidst all of the obsolete armor and off-brand restorative items and questionable underthings (the ones he hasn't tucked discreetly back into the bottom of his own bag, at least). ]

...When did we buy that? [ Any of it. Tifa's free to take her pick, as he opts to sift aimlessly through the detritus of past shopping sprees, possibly all taken under the influence of temporary blindness or poison or who knows what all.

They clearly weren't in their right minds when they doled out the gil for those Mood Ring Bangles (no Defense bonus) or the Red Check Cape (doesn't prevent anything). ]

Shizuo Heiwajima | Durarara!!

[Definitely the receiver.]

*Works as either buyer or receiver! If he's the buyer, it's probably either something dangerous or something completely silly bought in the name of "understanding this cycle."*

[He's not sorry.

Lone Ranger is his favorite.

Not sorry. It's a limited edition action figure. He's putting it in storage.

Do not ask him how much he paid for it.]
