WEEK TWO - MINGLE
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.
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.

on this bright and sunny morning on monday, there are some strange sounds coming outside of gehenna university. when you come outside, you will see a very strange setup. namely, there are computer parts like, all over the place, and a container that smells like gasoline, as well as paper schematics and pens and a whole other mess, but more importantly
there is a build a bub sitting on the ground. it is wearing little backpack straps, and more importantly, attached to those backpack straps is some kind of…machine…it’s not very big, but it is definitely constructed out of an old cpu that’s been repurposed. it has on a tiny build a bub helmet also.
sitting a safe ways away from it with a keyboard in his lap is lu bixing. his personal device is on, reflecting a few screens and his phone is a little to the side, but he’s talking to his personal device - it looks like he’s making a recording. ]
First test, at [ whatever time it is ] on Monday. This is Engineer 001, and - [ to the other person ] And?
Yoake. [ said other person is kon! he's got yoru sitting at his side, wearing a little NASA outfi. there's a... some kind of tool kit? a small one, not a big one, but it's got quite a few bits and bobs. it's open as he messes with what looks to have previously been a part from a computer monitor's innards with a small screwdriver, his phone and a spread of notebooks also on his side where he sits. ] And Yoru!
Yoake and Yoru. [ lu bixing confirms to his recording. ] Project Hellpollo 11 is prepared for liftoff. In five… four… three… two….one….
[ his fingers move across the keyboard and then click something decisively. and from behind the build a bub wearing a strange contraption, there’s a noise, the smell of gasoline, and then - a flare, as it begins to rise off of the ground. the build a bub is wearing a tiny, functioning jetpack.
lu bixing yells, delighted– ] Liftoff! That’s one small step for Subject Laika, one giant leap for Yorukind!
Yorukind! [ yoru cheers with lu bixing, while kon makes a few notes with a gel pen that he pulls out of his manbun for the day, screwdriver now in his mouth. he moves it so that lu bixing's recording can catch what he says without it being muffled: ] Controls functional via keyboard. Altitude remains steady, but will depend on fuel... parachute system in the works, but tests are showing optimistic results.

[ anyways you guys can respond to the toplevel if you want to call them nerds or ask what the FUCK they're doing, we'll both tag. ]
no subject
Mm. Maybe Gideon will cut some of it for us?
no subject
Maybe. I think that could work - just a nice square of it.
no subject
[ he glances at his watch. ]
Our calculations looked pretty good! I think maybe ten more seconds with the amount of fuel? We'll see.
no subject
Yeah. We'll have to adjust for Yoru's weight compared to the Bubs, but that's not too hard to account for when we were already pretty on point.
no subject
anyway her legs are magically working again which means she comes over to scoop yoru up and hold him in the air like link showing off the item he just got. duh nananaaaa.
she also makes spaceship noises for him. she's ignoring the nerds yoru is the only thing that matters (no).]
no subject
yoru immediately sticks his arms out like superman and pshoooo's as she picks him up, delighted by spaceship noises. kon allows this, glancing but going back to what he's notetaking for like yeah this is fine he trusts her not to chuck his son dangerously like an akira. ]
Yoru flies!
no subject
Judging by Yoru's outfit and the fact that Gideon is now rocketing him around, I can only assume this is an experiment to help Yoru fly whenever he wants.
[ she looks very pleased ]
Things are looking pretty good too!
no subject
Yeah, it was Teach's idea, and I got a tool kit. So we went ham on some of the junkers in the lab. [ this is 100% where they went. ] We're doing tests to make sure nothing explodes while he's strapped in.
[ pshooooo yoru goes in the bg ]
no subject
Hellpollo.
[ this sure is a name. ]
So, first test was promising?
no subject
[It's precious. Yorukind! Hellpolo 11! This is pretty fun to watch, seriously]
