WEEK ONE - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Hellions? Hm, well, no matter the name you're all in the same situation...and alive! Good for you! You're doing better than some of the others.

Aw, don't be mad...that's a compliment, isn't it? Satan's grace has shined upon you and you have more opportunities to show just why you deserve an invite to the house party.

For those of you who slept in the dorm last night, when you make your way downstairs to head off for the day you'll be greeted with a new message on the white board in the common room.

Six Weeks and Four Days Until Satan's House Party!!

Just in case you needed the reminder.

But out the door you go for another fun-filled (?) week. At the dock, there's a ferry happily floating on the lava and waiting for you to climb aboard. While there are still several islands in your line of vision you can't quite see, it seems as though the ferry can now shuttle you between the college island and a new locations called Hallow's Hollow. Watch your step upon de-boarding! Wouldn't want you to slip and drown in the lava, now would we?

A new place might be a great opportunity to take your mind off of the events of last week. You're probably feeling a little angry, or sad, or frustrated. Maybe you're feeling annoyed or hopeless about the situation. But it's a little strange...even for those of you who are usually very good at keeping yourself in check, things feel a bit different now. Over the course of the week you will find yourself dealing with intense emotions, feelings that swarm over you and won't calm down until you're emotionally vulnerable with someone else. Yes, all right, some of you are already quite good at feeling your feelings, but for the rest of you? This may be something you just can't ignore no matter how hard you try.

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.

Enjoy yourselves!

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

-This week's effect is emotional overload! Characters will experience intense emotions at unprompted times (rule of funny applies) and will not be able to calm down until they share these emotions/their feelings with another character. These emotions can be good or bad.

-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.

I could think of comfortable places they could find themselves in.

Say, do you know how to juggle?

[polyglotti]

Of course! And the goddess kept her promise, and gave him the information that he was searching for.

As it turned out, one of the twelve he had killed had been the one to kill his relative.

[polyglotti]

[HER TWO NICKELS...]

Right, isn't it? Legends from the Old World are fascinating.

[forefall]

I don't think are many rabbits here, but.... many have come with friends who could be rabbit-shaped..... instead of a toy.

[polyglotti]

[Thank u thank u]

[teufelshund]

I could, but the rabbit is the quintessential stage magic trick!

[nascens]

[Honestly fair and valid.

Hopefully he has good reflexes then because Scaramouche does not start fights with the intention of playing around, he is truly going in for a fullass full strength leg sweep.]

[polyglotti]

[The timelines lined up too perfectly to not do it.

She does not seem to be talking tongue in cheek either, she's acting like she honestly believes this to be a true legend and not a series of 'ehhh' quality 2000s movies.]

[pathopen]

[His eyes go big and wide!!!]

Champions of Hell... [In awe!]

[polyglotti]

You have more water, right?

[Since he filled it up the first time, presumably.]

[bileygr]

[ I FORGOT THIS WAS THE ONE WITH THE 'FOUL VILLAIN, YOU'VE UNDONE MY MOTHER' 'DUMBASS, I'VE DONE YOUR MOTHER TOO' EXCHANGE ]

Hum... very well, then. Nothing like a spot of misery than a quote from one of the most unrepentant villains of all time.

[ And with a flourish with the prop skull: ]

Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day- and yet, I think,
Few come within the compass of my curse --
Wherein I did not some notorious ill;
As kill a man, or else devise his death;
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it;
Accuse some innocent, and forswear myself;
Set deadly enmity between two friends;
Make poor men's cattle break their necks;
Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night,
And bid the owners quench them with their tears.
Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves,
And set them upright at their dear friends' door
Even when their sorrows almost was forgot,
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters
"Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead."
Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly;
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.

[polyglotti]

I'm happy to share stories any time!

[But a game? This sounds interesting! She'll give it a try.]

Alright...let's see...

When I was a child, I had braided pigtails. This one time a little boy decided to pull on them, and I didn't like that but he didn't listen to me when I told him to stop. So I shoved him off the monkey bars at the school playground and he sprained his wrist when he fell. Dad was so proud of me that he didn't punish me for it, but Mom said I should act more ladylike.

[ontrend]

[kuranosuke comes up to join mephisto onstage! i just realized i have not done the outfit of the day yet, so: a sheer top over a lacy bandeau, a skirt, some boots, a wig, a necklace, and makeup.]

Aaaalright! One charming assistant, at your service! What will our first trick be?

[ontrend]

...dude, come on, now you have to loop me in. I am totally up for some pyrotechnics we get to do.

[greatvalue]

Okay, sure. Let's say they're real words. What do they mean?

[teufelshund]

Shh, you're supposed to pretend it isn't a toy.

[firstandgreatest]

No, see, this is the lesson of the story-- You've gotta learn that success isn't even always beating him in the fight! It's making him see it your way! And sure, sometimes beating the crap out of someone changes their mind, but they gotta respect you first!

[ontrend]

It's synchronized dancing, usually with a lot of arm movements! But the moves are, like, well known. You can throw a para-para song on at a nightclub and people who have never danced together will be in perfect sync!

[


and then kuranosuke proceeds to teach childe to dance to caramelldansen i'm sorry]

[bileygr]

...

Just checking, but have you had anything to drink today, dear?

[ JUST WANTS TO MAKE SURE OF THAT. She's not going to stop him from getting on the wheel though. Rip Kuranosuke, W1 Victim... ]

[ontrend]

Yeah, exactly! And... they started out on their journey through hell to ... punch ... uhhh... if I say "punch Satan in the face" do you think we'll get banned from his party, dude?

[eleusinia]

What happened to "yes, and"?

[outsidebones]

They will respect me when I raise my army of the undead and decimate them with precision and brutality.

[ontrend]

[ENTHUSIASTIC APPLAUSE]

Whoa, you didn't even miss a beat!

[ontrend]

What? It's perfectly ladylike to knock some jerk flat when he's being mean to you! Girls should know how to look out for themselves and feel empowered to handle it when someone's overstepping!

[ontrend]

Sure have, thanks for asking!

[strides on over to the wheel. kuranosuke has had a healthy(?) dose of liquid courage.]
