WEEK ONE - MINGLE


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.

The old "alas, poor Yorick", or are you going to surprise us?

It would be all too easy to do a Hamlet with these props. There's a number of infamous soliloquys I could choose from, though.
teufelshund: (now we're just talking in circles)

My thoughts exactly!

[ well, if we want to go the horror-esque route ]

Something from Titus Andronicus, perhaps?

Hoh.

You know your works, don't you? I'm a little surprised.

I wouldn't have expected you to name drop that one in particular, either.

Of course. I may be an otaku first and foremost, but I love all entertainment!

If you're looking to paint a morbid scene with humans at their worst, there's none better.

[ 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.
teufelshund: (congratulations!!!)

[ THAT PLAY IS SO MUCH

he seems pleased by the fact that she knows this monologue at all, and positively delighted by the end of it, giving a round of applause. ]


Excellent! A stellar spur-of-the-moment performance!

[ She curtsies neatly with the skull in her hand. ]

Thank you, my small audience. You're more grim than you look, but I suppose that isn't surprising for one Mr. Faust.
teufelshund: (i think it's great that you're failing)

[personal profile] teufelshund 2023-02-16 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[ smiles ]

Oh? Is there that much meaning in a name?

I just appreciate the full range of the human disposition from its best to its worst.

If the combination of all three major names of Goethe's most famous work in one person is a mere coincidence, I'm really going to be disappointed in Hell as a whole.

[ Mr. Johann Faust Mephistopink!! What do you mean we can't talk shop about Goethe!! ]
teufelshund: if i didn't think i was smart (i wouldn't be trying to help you)

comes back here a week late when she's already DEAD

Well, as I said, I'm a fan of literature along with everything else. Maybe I just enjoy a good homage to the classics.
bileygr: ((008))

help true rebels never die..................

So Johann Faust isn't your real name?

[ Ya got false names up the wahoo? ]
