superhell | WEEK ZERO MINGLE - Party Games Edition

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.

[again, you can't possibly expect she'll play. then again, she is squinting at a bottle of something dusty looking on the bar like she's vaguely considering it? no, that can't be.]

Can I pick a card?

[let's play!! harrow!! play!! let's play!!]

[oh, she looks like she's about to slip away, but.]

A...card? Mm. What will it do?

It'll tell ya, depending on the number. So, if I pick --

[looks at the list of prompts and quickly chooses one that he thinks Harrow might not hate,]

-- the Jack, then you gotta tell me an embarrassing story. Which doesn't have to be about you, could be about anyone.

[well. lavi has been pretty decent so far and also she's real awkward at parties so she doesn't feel she can get out of this. she will just nod.]

Alright. I will play if you pick Jack. Does it need to be an embarrassing story about someone you know?

[he fans the cards down face up and holds up the Jack, grinning]

Nope. I'll accept any and all.

Once, I witnessed a skeleton that was animated with the carpal bones on one hand attached to the head of the metacarpals. It had no dexterity to speak of. The poor fool who had done it likely had died decades earlier, but their shame lived beyond them.

[...

lavi looks down at his right hand and flexes it a little, then makes a fist and starts pawing at the air with it a little]

...Like this kinda?

[a small smile. wow.]

A little. Clearly misshapen, though an amateur may not spot the difference.

[What if he hands her an 8, thereby granting her too much power]

[taking her eight.]

A rule? [hmm.] What about...everyone must avert their eyes and stop speaking to me for the rest of the night.

[this is a terrible use of power.]

[HELP that makes him laugh]

What happens if someone creates a rule that usurps yours?

I will simply have to keep acquiring eights.

If I find any more, I'll pass them your way. [Mostly because it sounds like it'd be funny]

And what's in it for you?

Entertainment! [CHEERFULLY... he has no reason not to admit it] Most people here will be drunk long before I am, which gets a little boring after a while.

[This may or may not be true he's just confident in his fake Russian-ness]
