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.

SUSHI NIGHT

[ontrend]

[late monday afternoon, everyone will get an alert that they've been pinged on bicker...

who: @everyone !!!
what: sushi night!!!
where: the bar in the cool underwater place!!!
when: this evening!!! starting in like an hour, and we can party for as long as we want!!!
why: because SOME people haven't had sushi yet, and i don't care if this is hell, we all deserve nice things!!!

[there is an attached selfie of kuranosuke, who is still not dressed up and still has his hair tied up into a ponytail, making a peace sign at the camera; kon is also in the picture, hard at work making sushi rolls while yoru, decked out in a little sushi chef outfit from build-a-bub, looks on. kon is behind the bar counter, yoru is sitting on it, and kuranosuke is posing in front of it.

and for anyone who swings by that evening...

yes, it's still a bar, but they do seem to be making legitimate sushi - using actual sushi rice, nori, and everything! there's a small station set up near the bar counter for kon to put rolls together, and he's actually got the supplies he needs for it, too. thanks to the efforts of everyone who went fishing... they've got fish! the kitchens of the other restaurants have been raided for vegetables and so on for the rolls, but there are also ingredients that would go in various sushi rolls that don't appear to have come from those kitchens, and for side dishes like miso soup. huh, where'd that come from? don't worry about it.

kon can be seen briefly scanning the bar with his eyes narrowed over by where he's set up the sushi buffet at the counter, for whatever reason? but he is in fact here for this party that kuranosuke has put together. yoru is still dressed as a cute little sushi chef and waves at anyone who comes in to join them, chirping a hihi! as he does. he's had a very eventful day today, it seems.

kuranosuke is, right at the start, nowhere to be seen. who shows up late to their own party? rude. well, whatever.

it's party time!

ooc note: this is just a cute party mingle! put up your own subtls, play party games, whatever. the world is your oyster! this isn't super time-sensitive or anything, so feel free to leisurely play around with it during the week. have fun!!]

[ontrend]

[some time after the sushi party has started, kuranosuke actually shows up! whatever was going on that made him not dress up earlier seems to have been dealt with, because now he is dressed to the nines. fun!

he's got something with him that he keeps fiddling with, but when people approach, he looks up with a grin.]

Hey! You having fun? What do you think of the sushi? Kon's a pretty good chef!

[alternatively, once he's poured himself some mediocre beer because he doesn't want to deal with the effects right now - ]

Wanna play a drinking game?

[refate]

[ oh good he's back to normal again and just FASHIONABLY LATE ]

[ontrend]

[voidshift]

Even better than I expected.

[it's a good thing he didn't bring the cat, she'd be impossible to keep away from the sushi...]

You seem like you're enjoying yourself-- this wasn't a bad idea at all.

[ontrend]

There's nothing quite like sharing a meal with everyone!

[beams]

I'm glad you like it. Sushi's great!

[firstandgreatest]

[ okay sure he will briefly stop eating sushi as fast as it can be possibly be made to entertain the idea of games. COMPETITION IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL. ]

What're we playing?!

[ontrend]

...let's do beer pong!

[i'm making the executive decision that he has stolen a couple of balls from the ballpit bar. he'll put them back later after washing them.]

You ever played that before?

[pathopen]

[Approaches!

Views this something with curiosity.]

What kind?

[ontrend]

A guessing game! I'll have a cup of something in each hand, but you won't be able to see what it is. It'll be either water or beer. You have to pick a hand and guess what drink it is, and if you're right, you get to drink it. If you're wrong...

[he taps the something he's holding.]

I get to do your makeup.

[psynchronise]

[ he is absolutely going through the sushi like he’s on autopilot. thank you to the artificial beach with real fish for this gift. ]

What kind of drinking game?

[ontrend]

Two truths and a lie! Whoever gets it wrong has to take a drink. And if you get three of them wrong...

[taps the something he was holding.]

I get to do your makeup.

[polyglotti]

[She is here for sushi night! Help her, she doesn't know where to start. Maybe booze is a better way to start.]

Sure! What kind of a drinking game?

[failbo]

[At some point during the night there's Filbo's voice in the distance, coming from the dorms]

Zelgadis, something happened in our dorm and I really don't think the cat did it!

[...presumably.

Either way, it's probably fine, don't worry about it, yup. Things are just taped on the ceiling, is all]

[astika]

[





chandra is not zelgadis and i actually have no idea if he's even attending the party but he's wandering over to the dorms anyway to see what tf filbo is going on about]

[hardrocklife]

[standing up in alarm.]

What!?

[eleusinia]

You guys got a cat, too?

[hardrocklife]

[Zelgadis showed up for the party, though he just takes a plate and seats himself in a table at the far end, by a wall.]

This is what you've all been raving about...?

[he studies it, uncertain...

(also at some point, you might catch him slipping a piece of fish under the table, to... someone or something there.)]

[ontrend]

Yeah! I promise - it's great!

[grins. hello zel!! hello whatever zel is feeding under the table!!]

[polyglotti]

[She sees you feeding fish to [redacted].

When she catches his eye, she'll smile and give him a thumbs-up.]

[toyska]

[Childe is here!! He is ready to enjoy the fruits of everyone's labor, including his own. He's had sushi before, but he always enjoys trying local ("local") cuisines, so he'll be partaking in the sushi and the side dishes.]

At the risk of cursing us, things are starting to look up, don't you think? As far as our meal choices go, anyway.

[voidshift]

Well, if it gets worse after this, at least we'll know we can blame you.

[raising a piece of sushi to him like it's a toast, before he eats it.]

[ontrend]

Yeah, way better! Who knew we could catch real fish at that beach?

[chlorine fish...........]

[teufelshund]

[ well you had better fucking believe mephisto is here for sushi night ]

Excellent job, all! This has truly been a showcase of human cooperation and ingenuity at their very best!

[ has it though ]

[ontrend]

[victory poses]

See! Told you we'd get it sorted out!
