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.
MINI-EVENT
And you know, like, you're totally free to blow them off. You don't have to board the ferry and head to Subnutica to see what that's all about. But for those of you who are curious, when you deboard the ferry at the new island you'll find that a floating dock has been installed, big enough to hold every single one of you and a few different stalls. In the water are several rowboats, and in the lava flags wave to outline an obstacle course around the island itself.
On the fronts of the stalls are a variety of posters advertising for Satan's house party again. Each stall contains items such as paint, fabrics, sails, ropes, oars, chains, anchors, spiked metal balls, shields, swords, harpoons, and other items needed to fortify and decorate these boats. There's also a stand full of drinks! But these are all drinks from the bar on this island, unfortunately. Finally, above it all hangs another banner:
Team up or whatever, build up your vessel and set sail! Make it through the course and back in record time...if you dare.
It seems simple, doesn't it? But now you're in direct competition with each other. The path through the flags isn't that wide. You may have to bump each other out of the way to proceed. But be careful! In the lava itself you may run into obstacles such as tentacle-like limbs reaching up to crash into your boat and slow you down, bombs that explode at random, high winds that knock you off-course, and the figments of phantom boats ready to ram right into you and break your vessel apart. Not to mention, you know, whatever you guys decide to do to each other.
Haha. Good luck on the smooth sailing!

Are these helpful for building a boat? No. Does he care? Not really]

Akira has a harpoon, and he's downed both the persuasive drink and the lack of impulse control drink when he's already off the rails this weeks.
He's stripped off everything but his underwear(?), and he's standing aggressively at the edge of the boat looking exactly like he's about to pounce from his to whatever other boat comes close like some kind of a rabid squirrel.]
Come closer... so I can kill you!

standing at the helm of a fairly impressive boat is lu bixing, eyepatch on his eye, wearing this this outfit only it's topped with a big ass hat. he's got a sword in one hand and his personal device projected off of his wrist on his other. popcorn the snake is draped around his neck and wearing a tiny pirate hat, and he Captain Morgan poses at the bow of his boat and gestures!!!
he swings his sword out during this relay race at some point and yells - ]
AVAST, MATEYS! Space Pirate Captain Prime Minister Bixing's crew's arrived and we've come for your booty! Fire the cannons off the bow! Prepare to be boarded!
[ someone's enjoying this too much
anyway his boat, i regret to inform you, has a cannon on it. they created a jetpack? they have jerry rigged a canon. it's time to go sabotage other boats instead of actually racing. ]

How do you suppose it manages to avoid catching fire? They must be using some sort of fuel - that would be a bit dangerous.
[does this sound like gentle concern for people she cares for because it's not.]
It may be that a harpoon alone would do the trick, but alcohol on a rag may be the better bet.

is this... a yoru-sized lifeboat? yes. yes it is. he seems to be putting a sail on it. ]
So, when hubris eventually catches up to us, what're you gonna do?
Women and children first!
That's right. And you're gonna head right back here. Maybe you'll win the relay.

When the race starts, she's going to wait. She's already figured out exactly what's going to happen here. She waits, watching all the battles go on in front of her. She seems unbothered by all of this.
And then, while some are fighting up ahead, she starts rowing. And look at that, she seems to know how to maneuver a little boat like this! She is absolutely just quietly rowing around the other skirmishes, trying to pass by unnoticed. Can't lose a fight if you don't fight at all, after all.
She may stop to help anyone who's fallen in, but it depends on who it is. We'll see. She's not gunning for first place here, she's just trying to finish at all. Slow and steady!]

leaves and comes back with several bags of clothes from the costume store, and also his makeup kit]
All right! If we're gong to make this a race with teams, we're going to do this right! What does a team need? A uniform! And that can either mean identical clothes, or a general look you all go for with your own twist on it!
So give me a theme, tell me your teammates, and I'll make you all look fabulous!
