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.

[A peculiar ferry pulls up through the lava to the dock... Ding, ding.

Someone disembarks onto the dock and the barren ground, shuffle slow and detached, slightly hunched. It's Akira! He's still in his black casual clothes. He has his fingers curled into his shirt over the left side of his chest, clutching it. The expression on his face is despondent, distant, and his eyes are full of drying tears. Hanging by his side in his other hand is a little kit of something he's carrying along.

He just looks ahead as he goes, not paying much attention to anything else. Just a lil guy leading the way for...]

[psynchronise]

[ jii away, but at least he’s not complaining about confetti. ]

[failbo]

wow that is kinda anticlimactic

[bookpapers]

[he's found something more interesting to focus on YEAH]

[ ... someone he knows rather well!

that is, ryo is walking behind him. he looks a little different than usual, as his usual white outfit is covered in blood on his left side. it shouldn't take too long to figure out why, as the left side of his face, especially where his eye is, is also covered in dried blood.

despite seeming very tired, and unwell, he is walking with a very determined and confident purpose and

no he's walking towards the lava why is he doing that ]

[voidshift]

I do not know either

[voidshift]

Dont look at me like that

[psynchronise]

… have we done a headcount?

[voidshift]

You can observe it for yourself that seems more effective

We did not throw it out

[ why IS he doing that.

the third person of this little conga line is walking just a little behind the other two, looking backwards at the ferry as he does so - and that would be lu bixing. the good news is that he looks fine! there's some blood on his clothes, and some dried blood underneath his nose, but otherwise, he seems mostly concerned with the two teens in front of him.

which

he should be, considering - ] Ryo, be careful --! [ holding child leashes is hard, and he almost yelps this out as he stumbles off of the dock and rushes over, hitting the ground half on his knees in the process. he manages to scramble back upwards to his feet as he pushes ryo back in the correct direction right as the lava splashes up against the side of the dock, safely avoiding a roasted twink. with the teen righted, lu bixing turns back to the last member of the group, standing back up, clearly holding several metaphorical child leashes and clearly distressed. ] Come on, we need to get you treatment as soon as possible. It's going to be okay.

[ how comforting!

it's probably a shame lu bixing hasn't noticed that his arm is now on fire from that splash of lava.

im sure its fine ]

[bileygr]

Ew. Wasn't me either.

[psynchronise]

[ ganba with that. ]

And for your next trick?

4/4

[awol]

[ the ferry rocks a bit as one final figure is the last to disembark. lin jingheng is bringing up the rear, walking with a steady step. there is a harpoon gun slung over one shoulder while the other shoulder slumps just a bit.

there are red stains on his shirt, primarily a spot on his left shoulder, another on his left side, both of them dark red and drenched. he seems to be vibing, through it though? and moves forward immediately once he spies fire?? hello??? ] ]

All that and you still couldn't stay out of trouble.

[ he grumbles this as he grunts and tosses the harpoon gun to the ground. lin then uses that hand to smack at the fire on lu bixing's arm as best he can, though... uh... it's lava so really he's going to come out with burns no matter what. he's just trying to mitigate disaster. anyone have a jacket or blanket???? to smother this????

happy double date?????? ]

[engineers]

[ STOP BLEEDING HE'S FINE

lu bixing is just like, completely ignoring the fire right up until ljh touches his arm, and then looks at it, and then makes a little noise of pain, and then immediately- ] Stop, stop, it's fine, it'll wave out, it's - you're the one who's going to bleed out if you keep moving, Lin Jingheng!

[ don't scold him when you are on fire.

move let him put pressure on you you stupid asshole ]

[bileygr]

Lu Bixing. You're on fire.

[ Here, she throws a cloak over at you. ]

Pick off the pieces before they burn down harder, it's lava after all.

This seems a more violent trip return than the others I've seen or heard about so far.

[awol]

You're on fire.

I'll make more blood.

[ what ]

[toyska]

[soots you all

Childe doesn't know a CYOA yet so he's just here like ??????]

What happened?
