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.

[... Right. He nods, like he agrees. (He doesn't really. He just likes knives.)]

Okay. You get on the wheel, and I'll do the throwing.

[bileygr]

Whaaat? Why me?

[ Damb Zel!! ]

[hardrocklife]

I'm an expert in throwing knives. It just makes sense this way.

[bileygr]

If you hit me, I'll throw one right back, just so you know.

[ And aim for his crotch or something. But she totters over to the wheel without much more complaint because she actually would trust Zelgadis with knives, which is a high compliment. ]

[hardrocklife]

That's fine with me.

[He'll make sure she's securely strapped in. And then... the wheel starts spinning.]

Ready?

[bileygr]

Can't say I'm not ready. Say, have you done this before?

[ She says, idly spinning. She's hilariously not concerned, more thinking about how it was a good thing she got a haircut right before coming here because if she still had her very long hair, gravity would seriously be in the way right now. ]

[hardrocklife]

Don't worry about it.

[He turns with a dramatic flourish of his cape. Walks over to the knives. Picks a couple up and throws them.

FWING! FWING!

They land neatly close to Eto's ankles.]

[bileygr]

Ooh, I felt that in the board.

[ Wiggling her croc'd ankles a bit. ]

It was a genuine question!

[hardrocklife]

This isn't so hard.

[He throws a few more. More near misses, just as they should be.]

[bileygr]

[ She's, well, reasonably nervous for a person literally strapped to a board and at the whim of some guy she met 2 weeks ago throwing shit. Perhaps calmer than could be expected taking in the whole Hell thing, but hey, we can't all be beggars. ]

Try not to jinx it until you're done, that's how knives end up in bodies prematurely.
