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.

[ one of you fuckers play beer pong immediately. ]

WALLFLOWERS

[outsidebones]

[this is a prompt for all of the assholes who don't want to have fun. complain about this? act too good for it and stand around in the back? force participation? let's go.]

[outsidebones]

[harrow is here, trying to gingerly exit the party.]

[preordain]

[ hi harrow ]

[polyglotti]

[Tuuri sees Harrow trying to make her escape, so she'll pull out her phone and send Harrow a message since she doesn't want to shout across the bar.]

Not much of a party person?

[eleusinia]

[ persephone catches harrow skulking around out of the corner of her eye, and though she doesn't quite move to close the distance, she still raises her free hand to wave and give a little smile. ]

Parties not really your thing?

[hardrocklife]

[perhaps if zelgadis sits still enough in the back of the room, he can be mistaken for an actual statue.]

[voidshift]

You're going to need the practice, you know.

[no statueing.]

[eleusinia]

[ ...

pokes him ]

[cavaliered]

[eventually gideon has had enough to drink that she just wanders over and puts her arm around harrow and stands there. this is a very funny sight because of the height difference.]

[outsidebones]

[ah she jumps like a foot in the air, or tries to, and then brushes herself off like she didn't.]

Nav, what are you doing?

[toyska]

[lesbian behavior]

[eleusinia]

[ persephone is holding a single blue drink as she vibes in the corner... she's not really mingling (yet), but she's not actively looking to leave, either. very much exuding awkward "baby's first party all by herself" energy. ]

[bookpapers]

[the way lavi hasn't had a drink yet and he already looks hammered, damn.

whenever there's a break in the ~kerfluffle~, he'll meet your eyes with his one and give a little wave, a clear invitation to come over and sit down on the floor with him. why is lavi on the floor? it's fine]

[bileygr]

Hello, dear. Feeling alright?

[astika]

Get up, you're not dying from illness anymore.

[greatvalue]

[looking at him warily binch you put your gross hand on his face earlier]

You can't be that drink already.

[cavaliered]

[if he's still down there later she's going to come over and lay on the floor next to him. the room spins less when she's down here. what's up, bud.]

[toyska]

[Judgmentally surveying the alcohol spread]

So they did have better options. [HIS FIRE-WATER!! IT'S RIGHT THERE well now it's in his hand but still]

[failbo]

I know, right? I was starting to think I'd have to try again making drinks myself from scratch one of these days!

[Even if the result turned out to be little more than water, it still would have been better than the terrible beer. Alas, it's such a shame the good booze only lasts this night]

PLAYS BEER PONG IMMEDIATELY

[onlythans]

[cavaliered]

Howww... do you do this. [she is already tipsy, but the spirit is willing.] Teach me the ways.

[outsidebones]

[she's very awkward at a party so she'll kind of hover nearby.]

[greatvalue]

[He stares at the set up...]

What is this?

[anothen]

What do we have here?

[ HOW DO YOU PONG BEER? He's doing quite well with all the alcohol. ]
