WEEK ZERO MINGLE - Party Games Edition

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. It's a beautiful day here in Hell and you're not gonna get anywhere by sleeping in all morning. After a rocky weekend, you may be finding yourself still trying to make sense of everything. Like…you're dead. Isn't that still so crazy? Wow!

But don't wallow about it. It's time to embrace your new afterlife and take a look at the world around you. You can look outside the windows of your dormitory and see that the reddish sun has risen a little higher in the sky. There's no cheerful sound of birds chirping or anything of the sort. You only have each other right now.

Venturing downstairs, you'll find that the front door has finally unlocked and you're able to step outside. The air is hot, a blast of warm air directly smacking you in the face as your feet step onto the dry, barren wasteland stretching ahead of you. Little cracks and fissures appear under your feet as you walk, glowing crimson as the heat follows after you. But it's worth exploring, don't you think?

For any of you who immediately make a break for the dock, you'll be happy to hear that there isn't a ferry at the moment. You can see the faint outlines of islands in the distance, but you have no chance of heading out to any of them just yet. Boo. Oh well. There's plenty of places to look around on this island. You didn't exactly get a grand tour yesterday, so take the opportunity to look around and get to know the lay of the land.

Maybe you're the chatty type who wants to get to know everyone else around you. Or maybe you're the type who just wants to mind their own damn business and expects everyone else to, too. No matter what though, as you go through your daily activities over the course of the week you will find that on occasion you will be compelled to tell a lie or spread a rumor about another new resident. You might tell a stranger your new roommate has cute underwear with little bunnies on it. Perhaps you'll tell someone else that the person across the street was programmed with the most tragic backstory on account of being a cyborg. There's no limit to how real or outlandish these stories are.

It almost seems as though it's simply meant to be an annoyance.

And speaking of annoyances? Don't forget to check out what's new on Bicker. You can always contact each other via public Beeks or by sliding into their DMs.

Likewise, you'll find that your personal demons' accounts are live and active and despite what some of them may say, their DMs are also open.

Good luck!

Good morning everybody, and welcome to your week zero mingle! A few notes for clarity.

-This week's effect is a rumor mill! Characters will feel compelled to lie or gossip about other characters at various times, or whenever the rule of funny applies.

-Audiences for the personal demons are now open! Please submit all requests under the correct weekly header.

-Please submit all PC submissions under the correct weekly header.

-The Bicker poll is public! All replies will be public, and players may also post their own Beeks in their toplevels that will be considered public. You are free to reply directly to the appropriate toplevels, or you may create Beeks in your own toplevels with other prompts. Be free.

Don't laze around.

[bookpapers]

Yeah, yeah... [scratching his head,

then pulling out a set of king's cup cards...]

Wanna play?

[astika]

No.

[bookpapers]

Why not?

[is chandra shy...]

[astika]

Never mind. I permit you to return to dying.

[bookpapers]

[teehee

he takes a notebook from behind his coat and sticks it out for chandra to take,]

Can you check this for me?

[it's a succinct summary of their mini-cyoa]

I wanna know if I missed anything.

[astika]

[oh, lavi actually did work. this is why chandra has like one modicum of respect for him. taking it!]

It's effective for someone who spent most of that time out of it.

[bookpapers]

[ghk...]

Hey, my eyesight was the last thing that gave out. [he saw and didn't comprehend until later??]

You want me to make you a copy?

[astika]

It could potentially be useful. So yes, do so.

[bookpapers]

[he flips to a new page and starts writing,]

You know, I never got to thank ya.

[astika]

[he waits]

[bookpapers]

[stop he's gonna laugh]

Thanks for lugging my heavy body outta there, Chandra.

[astika]

At least you're not ungrateful.

[good!!]

[bookpapers]

Why wouldn't I be? You and Eto saved my life.

[astika]

[





if chandra were a nice person he could point out that it was, like, their fault in the first place given that he and eto sort of triggered that downward spiral but anyway moving on]

You're right, we did. You evidently weren't going to do much to save yourself.

[bookpapers]

[if chandra were a nice person right now lavi would be really worried about him]

It's hard to beat chicken pox...

[he makes a little zippy motion over his mouth, accept it as chicken pox. IT WAS CHICKEN POX!! IT WAS POX!!!]

[astika]

This is why vaccinations exist.

[engineers]

[ so true king ]

[bookpapers]

[he's trying so hard not to laugh,

nods... and hands over a paper copy,]

Here you go.
