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.

[ dice maiden says 19, so.


he nails the skull in the forehead. ]

[bileygr]

[ Oocly I was hoping you'd show off his aim. Icly she is surprised, still holding her own knife. ]

...Well, damn. You really went for the kill.

[psynchronise]

[ dice maiden agreed. he just swoops an arm. ]

Call it wild luck. ‘Sides, it’s a skull, if it starts chattering then I’ll apologise to it.

[bileygr]

[ Indeed, the skull cracks, rattles, and then the usual Halloween witch cackle sound plays. ]

Well, there's your cue.

[psynchronise]

[ wowza. ]

Alas poor Yorick.

Whoops, sorry about that.

[bileygr]

[ It keeps laughing anyway as it sluggishly spins. Eto shrugs, and throws while she's here anyway.

She sticks one in the right eye socket! ]

Wow, I could've totally won if it weren't for you getting there first.

[ It doesn't beat forehead stick. ]

[psynchronise]

I dunno, I think that’s a solid tie. Dead centre, and right through an eye.

[ lmao ]

Both morbidly impressive.

[bileygr]

I got lucky. I'm not really all that good with weapons, even if I'd like to think I have a good aim.

[ It's probably meh. ]

[psynchronise]

Don’t dismiss luck, it’s pretty handy even if it is unpredictable.

[ probably fine. ]

Do you play sports or something? Or have a dart board? [ how does she know she has good aim… ]

[bileygr]

No...

Neither of those things.

[ Dart board... ]

The best I do is throw pens into a cup when I'm bored.

[psynchronise]

[ dart board.... ]

That must've been a lot of pens in cups.

[bileygr]

Why do you think I'm that bored?

[ Maybe she just has a natural talent!! ]

[psynchronise]

Are you?

[ are you bored, eto? ]

[bileygr]

Never bored.

Maybe a little tired, sometimes.

[psynchronise]

That's just the life of an author though, right?

[bileygr]

I can't speak for others, maybe a comedy writer would have a more exciting life.

[psynchronise]

…




… I think you’d write pretty good dry comedy, actually. Maybe you should dabble in a side genre.

[bileygr]

I haven't not written comedy. It was still largely my typical stuff, but I've dabbled in things with a dark humour, black comedy sort of tone.

Horror is my brand, though. It's good to stay loyal to an image.

[psynchronise]

Black comedy, huh. Yeah I can see that, definitely.

[ he nods. ]

Good to be flexible though, but if it works why shake it up too much?

[bileygr]

I'm pretty flexible but dedicated at the same time.

I don't think I could ever do an entire genre change, though. I really do put myself into my writings -- if I tried certain other genres, it just wouldn't be sincere.

Like romance. Blegh.

[psynchronise]

So, no horror themed bodice rippers from you then?

[ honestly that sounds like a great combo. ]

[bileygr]

Maybe, I might. But there's a possibility it'd be more ripper than bodice.

Though, I don't just write senseless violence, anyway.

[psynchronise]

There'd be an audience for it. There's an audience for everything.

[bileygr]

Unfortunately. Some people are just very depraved.

[ Between gore horror movies and dark web stuff... she thinks mankind is pretty fucked up. ]

[psynchronise]

[ SHE'S NOT WRONG. ]

Some people really are. There's some weird shit out there.
