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.

[on monday, you are very likely to catch kuranosuke making multiple trips between the costume shop and the dorms, laden down with as much clothing as it is possible to carry. look, fashion is important, okay?

later on in the day, kuranosuke is all dressed up (complete with makeup, a wig, and a cute hair accessory where the yellow band is on the wig) and can be found in the common area of the dorms, with a pile of clothes and a makeup kit close at hand.]

Makeovers! Get your makeovers here! Every minute I spend dressing someone else up is a minute I don't spend drinking myself into oblivion and making it everyone else's problem!

[outsidebones]

[walks in and walks right back out.]

[ontrend]

...oh, come on!! Not cool!!

[outsidebones]

You seem to be busy.

[listen force her to be made over do it.]

[ontrend]

Nope, not right at the moment! I'm looking for something to keep myself busy, though!

[abandons the pile of clothes to follow harrow]

Come on! I just got my hands on all kinds of new outfits. It's way better than the school uniforms from the mall!

[outsidebones]

Well. It is better than that.

[wrinkling her nose, but she'll at least look, since some of this halloween stuff is definitely her style.]

[ontrend]

Okay, so. Step one! A thorough understanding of what you feel comfortable wearing. If you could pick anything in any world to wear, what would it be? We'll see if we can find something similar in this pile, but we'll give it a cute little twist while we're dressing you up.

[birdeater]

[ (silently) what the fuck ]

You should dress someone up for a date.

[ smiles at the thread above hehe ]

[ontrend]

Ooh, great idea!

[kuranosuke looks FIRED UP at the thought of giving someone a date makeover]

...who's dating who around here, anyway?

[birdeater]

[ Is this how Junhyeong admits that he’s watched everyone during the trial and somehow despite a kid dying there was weird tension between people.

No. ]

I think the better question is who looks like they wouldn’t against dating despite, you know, being in hell.

[ontrend]

[thinks about it...]

Oh. Date, for sure. The question is who'd be interested in dating him while they're in hell, I guess?

[birdeater]

[ THIS DISS IS SO FUNNY DATE NOOOOOO ]

Kon or Lavi.

[ontrend]

[IT WOULD PROBABLY BE FINE TO DATE ... DATE OUTSIDE OF HELL. wow his real name is unfortunate for this sentence



anyway kuranosuke thinks about it]

...yeah, I could see that. Help me track 'em down and wrangle one of them so I can pretty them up?

[eleusinia]

[ there's something about seeing kuranosuke so earnestly going about on this fashion crusade that just makes persephone tear up when she's asked. it is not clear whether this is due to the heightened emotional state that everyone's been subjected to this week, or if she's just like this normally. ]

Oh my goshhhh.

[ontrend]

[


oh dear. kuranosuke goes to link arms with her.]

Great haul, isn't it? So! Do I get to dress you up?

[eleusinia]

Nothing in this hellhole would make me happier.

[ she, like, sincerely means it. ]

[ontrend]

Perfect! Now - what kind of clothes do you like? Anything you'd prefer to avoid? Hmm, we'll need something that'll stand out good against all that pink, but we've got plenty of options...

[eleusinia]

Hmm, I like flowy things, like stuff I can breathe easily in... I don't really have any hard nos, though. Oh, and colorwise, I usually go for pastels. Does that help?

[ontrend]

Sure does! Okay, let's see what we've got!

[kuranosuke sifts through the pile of clothes... and comes up with a top, some flowy pants and a belt, a pair of sandals, and some hairclips.]

Okay, if you like these, I totally have a hairstyle I want to do with them. And I'm already getting ideas for your eye makeup, too!

[failbo]

[Passing through and hearing Kuranosuke offering this, well, makes him stop out of politeness, even if it's to say no]

Hahaha...I don't think I can have a makeover. I mean, look at me!

[how do you even give a makeover to a grumpus hell if i know]

Besides, uh, I haven't brushed myself properly for a while? The brushes around here are really bad, so...I would be shedding all over the clothes.

[Clothes that probably don't even fit him, hah]

[ontrend]

Oh, come on! I'm sure we can come up with something that might work...

[though, hmmm. he does seem to be in need of a brushing.]

Sit down, I'll see what I can do about your fur. It might take a little time but I bet we can get it cleaned up a bit if we're careful.

[failbo]

Oh! Um, uh...w-well, if you wanna try I'm not gonna say no, I guess...

[A tad sheepish, he does sit down]

Trying to find something to keep your hands busy with, I assume? I mean...

[...he means it's something he would understand. Just having something to do is great to keep one's mind from other stuff -- and oh boy is there plenty of other stuff to try to forget these days]

[ontrend]

[out comes a hairbrush or a comb or whatever it is they were given i'm too tired from work to remember and i just want to tag]

...yeaaaah, pretty much!

[gently brushing out some of filbo's fur. gently. take it slow so nothing breaks...]

I spent most of last week drunk as hell and while it worked out great - most of the week's a blur, which is exactly what I was after - the hangovers weren't so good. So! Just enough alcohol to take the edge off this week, and I'll look for distractions.

[failbo]

[Inwardly Filbo thinks that if doing this will make Kuranosuke feel better for a while, then hey, no harm in allowing so]

Hey, if you come up with the trick to achieve the right balance I'd be interested in hearing about it! Just saying!

[Dampening the feeling of having to go through these days in hell? Oh yes, sign Filbo up]

[ontrend]

Oh, for sure! If I figure it out, I'll let you know!

[smash cut to saturday, kuranosuke will drink all the way through trial again]
