WEEK TWO - MINGLE

[hellscapes]

Rise and shine, little deadlings. Congratulations on not losing your head this weekend!

Ooh...too soon? Hm. Lighten up a little, gosh! 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.

Five Weeks and Four Days Until Satan's House Party!!

The countdown continues...

But out the door you go for another busy 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, Hallow's Hollow, and a new location called Subnutica. Yeah. You heard us.

The nice thing is that your emotions seem to be in tact again. You feel a little recalibrated. You find that you're no longer struggling to understand why you're feeling the way you feel, but something still feels...off. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly it is, but it's as though a part of you is missing. Maybe eventually you'll discover that your sense of direction has disappeared. Or you've lost your ability to empathize with others (if you even had that to begin with). And even moreso, some of you may discover you've lost even more important things, such as your eyesight or your sense of touch. Various losses will persist throughout the whole week, but on occasion you may find you've regained what you initially lost and have lost something else instead.

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 loss! This one is a little more open-ended for you guys to play with! This can be anything from loss of senses, loss of certain emotions, loss of skills, loss of memories, loss of your mind, etc. If you're not sure, please feel free to ask! You do not have to stick with the same loss for the whole week! You can change it up as you see fit and/or for rule of funny.

-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.

@engineer001 Haha, I'm no biologist, but I know a little! It's Zhanlu who could impress you with fish facts for weeks.

[failbo]

who is this zhanlu person supposed to be again

[Not the wording or tone he would have used at all any other week, really, but given it's text message instead of face to face and therefore it always feels different to normal conversation, Lu Bixing wouldn't notice the little oddities]

tell me about them im curious

[engineers]

[ filbo your weekly effect

give him a minute to explain this. ]

Zhanlu is
...My roommate? Hmm. He's a sentient AI but he's many other things. He's actually here!
If you've seen Lin Jingheng's robotic arm attachment, that's Zhanlu.
Normally, though, he takes the shape of a bipedal human being.
We jokingly called it his 'butler mode' but he's capable of many, many things.

[failbo]

[Okay, this one ranks up there among the strangest things he has heard in a while. Especially because he's not entirely sure what an AI is in the first place.

But the thought that Lin Jingheng managed to bring what sounds like another person, albeit mechanical, into hell, is kind of funny]

ah wait i get it that is his item

i think i would kinda want to mee this zhanlu person someday

sounds nteresting to meet lin jingheng's arm

[The thought of just...meeting someone's arm and it turning out to be another person is one he's finding pretty neat, really]
